People Exposed to Climate Change: June-August 2025 | Climate Central
A seasonal analysis of how climate change boosted temperatures worldwide between June and August 2025www.climatecentral.org
It’s not my intention to minimise the risk of the situation or the pain of others, but we in the Global South have been facing risky heat since ever, and no one has ever cared about us.
Still, I just find it curious that Europeans are getting sick from temperate weather that, for us, is a spring Sunday.

September 24th
Last night, multiple civilian boats were targeted by unmanned drones. The attacks included the deployment of explosive and incendiary devices, deliberate dispersal of chemical substances onto civilian vessels, disabling of emergency communication devices and calculated physical damage designed to render the ships unseaworthy and endanger volunteers aboard.

#oil and #gas - the #US #Russia #MiddleEast are part of the problem. #China with its #EV production is part of the solution.
#climatechange #hurricanes #heatwave #drought #flood #justice
EV might be better for now but never forget the total footprint of the EV. Precious minerals and metals, the electricity to charge, recycling after the car is “done”, etc. And what about the fact that there will be a huge powershortages or even outages when everyone comes home and plugs in their car?
Best step I think is to go hybrid with smaller engines (like the European cars are doing currently) and not the big engines like they have in the US.
Absolutely! Walk/bike/bus/train all have to happen before switching to EVs... and those can ideally start as electric bikes, electric two-wheelers, small cars, etc.
