If you remove the smoke and see how the towers actually collapsed, it suddenly looks completely logical and eliminates all reasons to raise question marks.

Today, we launched the Planetary Health Check 2026. Seven of nine Planetary Boundaries are transgressed, and pressure on all seven is at its highest recorded level.
Yet, we still have a window to change course. But we need to move fast.

Massive retreat of the #Corvatsch Glacier over the past 57 years. Hard to imagine that summer skiing once took place here for around 30 years. Today, only a small remnant of ice remains.

🆕 Climate change threatens Europe’s whole food system: extreme heat, droughts and floods damage crops and fisheries, then ripple through storage, processing, transport and trade. Southern Europe is particularly exposed, with recurrent droughts and heat: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
ALT Quote by Christoph Müller, PIK scientist: "Climate risks do not stop at the farm gate: They spread through trade, processing, transport and food prices, but EU policies do not yet address these interconnected risks coherently.
ALT Cracked drought‑scorched soil illustrating that Southern Europe is particularly at risk — heat and recurring drought threaten crops, livestock and fisheries. Other European regions also face growing risks from extreme weather and disrupted supply chains.
ALT Supermarket produce display with headline "Food price increases hit disadvantaged groups harder" and subtext noting low-income households are especially affected because they spend a larger share of their income on food.

We are pushing beyond our planet's safe operating space. But science also gives us solutions. If your research helps keep us within Planetary Boundaries, apply for the 5th edition of the @FrontiersIn Planet Prize. It's the final stretch for applying. frontiersplanetprize.org/con…

Die #Erderhitzung durch Verbrennung von Kohle, Öl und Gas führt nicht nur in Südeuropa zu unerträglicher Hitze und großen Bränden, sondern vermiest mit Blaualgen (Cyanobakterien) auch die Badefreuden an der Ostsee.

🌊In this video, @jrockstrom explains why we cannot think about the ocean in isolation. Ocean health is inseparable from polar ice, biodiversity, climate, and the wider Earth system. Full interview: villarsreview.org/videos/wha…

This is Dr James Hansen, the then NASA scientist who woke the world up to climate change in 1988.
He warns here that climate change will be the equivalent devastation to a direct hit from an asteroid.
The media doesn’t believe this and so won’t make it clear to you.
They think they know better.
The media are the problem.

"Extreme heat is not a future threat. It is here.
It is becoming more dangerous.
And unless we act to protect people & tackle the root cause of the crisis it will become deadlier still."
