Maps of the rainfall associated with two of the nine storms hitting the Mediterranean in January and February 2026.
The Mediterranean is a hotspot of climate change, not only due to more heat, droughts and wildfires, but increasingly severe rainstorms led to catastrophic flooding this winter, highlighting again the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels. www.worldweatherattribution.org/increasingly...
🆕 New global evidence shows heatstroke is highly heterogeneous and often under‑recognized. Our MCC study across 34 countries finds mortality ranges from <1 to nearly 6 deaths per million, with heatstroke representing only a small share of total heat‑related deaths. #heatstroke #climate
Just published a post on our recent paper in Nat Comm with colleagues from @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social. The study suggests that gains in life expectancy in Germany have partly masked the imprint of climate change on heat-related mortality.

Yet another report of the stark impact of human-induced climate change on recent heat-related mortality in Europe. We need to promptly get out of fossil fuels and become very serious about adaptation to prevent further escalating trends.
Out now: our new study shows that climate change caused nearly 1,700 heat-related deaths in Zürich over 50 years.
We assessed the effects of changing vulnerability to heat, heat-mortality within and outside of heatwaves, and the contribution of individual companies' emissions to heat deaths.
📢🌍 Como parte de la red de centros y unidades de excelencia SOMMa, desde la @ebdonana.bsky.social queremos hacer un llamamiento urgente y ofrecer nuestra ayuda para abordar la emergencia climática con políticas basadas en la evidencia científica.

More and more trees are going to burn each year until we stop burning fossil fuels.
Bird populations in the tropics have dropped by roughly a third since 1980 due to intensifying heat extremes from #ClimateChange, with some species declining by over 50 percent, according to new study published in

I normally post on climate science, which is my expertise.
But this is too important to look away, so I want to share this from the Washington Post. Please read.

A mother in a tent in Gaza clasping her starving child, who appears close to death.
“Just outside Gaza, tons of food, clean water, medical supplies, shelter items & fuel sit untouched with humanitarian organisations blocked from accessing or delivering them," write 109 aid agencies today.

Das »nur zwei Prozent der globalen CO2-Emissionen«-Argument reflektiert nicht nur Verantwortungslosigkeit, Rücksichtslosigkeit und Ignoranz, sondern auch eine extreme Kurzsichtigkeit.

I highly recommend this thread. The abnormally high sea surface temperatures in the Western Mediterranean might be an early warning of record heat extremes to unfold over Europe this summer, similarly to 2003.
El Mediterráneo arde y seguimos pensando que esto del cambio climático no va con nosotros, que no nos tocará, que es lo del oso polar, los pingüinos, el Amazonas o la India.
Pues va a ser que no.
4128 muertes atribuibles al calor 🌡️ en JUNIO para toda España según nuestra aplicación #MACE. 3.404 por calor moderado y 724 por calor extremo. #oladecalor
En comparación junio de 2022 fueron 2859 y 879, respectivamente 🥵

Heute werden in einigen Teilen Deutschlands bis zu 40°C erwartet. Diese extreme Hitze kann lebensgefährlich sein!
Am 20. Juli 2022 wurde in Hamburg der bisherige lokale Hitzerekord von 40,1°C erreicht. Das führte zu einer deutlichen Zunahme der Sterbefälle, für jede(n) ersichtlich in den Daten.
Climate change also makes peaceful protest more difficult. The march on the occasion of the UN summit in Sevilla last night started out at 40C. But seeing the ‘global village’ demanding climate justice and dept cancellation was worth the sweat.
📢🌍 From @ebdonana, we urge world leaders to take urgent action on biodiversity loss and climate change at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development.

El calor extremo (para la época) de estos días en gran parte de la península ibérica es de órdago.
El índice "Climate Shift" alcanza impresionantes valores de 5: indica que el cambio climático ha hecho este evento 5 veces más probable de ocurrir que en periodo preindustrial. Influencia excepcional.
And the heat will only get worse. In Spain we have been experiencing anomalies of 5-10 degrees in June. Birds are falling from their nests. My 10-year-old daughter told me last night that she was so sorry for all the animals suffering due to humanity's fault. It is heart-breaking.
El calor mata, nos deja enfermar, afecta nuestra capacidad cognitiva y nuestras emociones. Y cada vez más a menudo por el cambio climático.
De esto y más hablo con @jesusdelaosa.bsky.social, invitad@s por @drotorrent.bsky.social en su podcast 'Hablando en Clima'

Just your regular reminder of where global CO2 emissions are tracking compared to scenarios that keep warming to below 1.5C in 2100, with "no or low overshoot" (maximum temperature around 1.6C).

Es gibt zwei Fragen, die mir oft gestellt werden. Die eine lautet: „Was macht Ihnen eigentlich Hoffnung?“ Die andere lautet: „Wie vereinst du dein Klima-Engagement mit deiner Rolle als Vater?“ Dazu heute ein Blogtext. Anlass ist ein Perspektivwechsel. Und eine Reflexion meiner Kritik der Passivität.
Rainfall measured over the orange alert region in Argentina 1-7 March 2025.
Argentina faced extreme heat, followed by deadly rains. The heat was due to climate change; the rains, less clear. Don’t be fooled by uncertainties—more events will hit as we keep drilling & burning. Voting for leaders ignoring this won’t save lives. www.worldweatherattribution.org/consecutive-...
