Good article about the Peoples Emergency Briefing. Have you seen it yet? If not, you should. And even better if you take friends or relatives with you who may not yet have realised just how serious the threat of climate change is. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/25/friday-briefing-how-a-grassroots-film-is-turning-climate-anxiety-into-action #PeoplesEmergencyBriefing #ClimateChange #ClimateCollapse #ClimateEmergency

Asian governments are rushing preparations for the most severe El Niño weather event on record, with hundreds of millions of people bracing for multiple crises at once as extreme heat, heavy rain and food shortages hit the region. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/sep/18/how-asia-is-preparing-for-supersized-el-nino-global-warming

Face aux records de température, à la mortalité des forêts et aux sécheresses, ils dénoncent l'illusion d'une adaptation infinie, les milliards d'aides publiques accordés aux énergies fossiles, le cadrage défaillant des médias dominants et la dimension coloniale de la transition énergétique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHoD1WDMX2A&t#Climat #MassExtinction #ecology #environment #Climate #ClimateJustice #EndFossilFuels #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateBreakdown

"There isn’t any specific scientific consensus on the precise impact of livestock on the climate. It is a contentious issue, partly because it’s so difficult to measure. We can say, however, that the impact is likely colossal. Moving towards plant-based diets will not, by itself, solve the climate problem. We still need to end our reliance on fossil fuels. However, it is necessary to solve the climate problem." https://www.resilience.org/stories/2026-09-10/climatological-limits-to-livestock-a-plea-for-plant-based-diets/ #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #GoVegan #Vegan

This may not mean much to some people, but it's utterly terrifying. The oceans are belching up just some of the countless Hiroshima bombs worth of excess anthropogenic heating they've absorbed, into an atmosphere already hotter than humans have ever experienced.

I keep going back to Pamela Swanigan's magnificent 2024 essay "It’s Time To Give Up Hope For A Better Climate & Get Heroic". Tolkien's Long Defeat, the heroic rearguard action of the Elves of Middle-Earth to keep darkness at bay, has become a major source of inspiration for me as I join my chosen battle lines. We won't win, I know. But we can forestall doom for a time, and protect people and things that are beautiful and worth protecting. https://www.noemamag.com/its-time-to-give-up-hope-for-a-better-climate-get-heroic/ #ClimateEmergency

it would be goddamn poetic if moving the decimal point in the USA to go over $9.99/gal is what finally broke MAGA, Trump and the fossil fuel industry itself. the average cost of Diesel across the USA has doubled from $3 to $6/gal "some gas station displays in California have shown diesel prices sitting at $9.99, the "maximum price that gas stations can show on their digital displays, which typically only display four digits.”" "The average cost for a gallon of diesel in the United States reached its all-time high on Friday at $6.06, up from $5.85 last week and up from $3.71 the same time last year" #endfossilfuels #climateEmergency #usa #theAmericanFascist #MAGA #diesel https://www.rawstory.com/trump-gas-prices-2677851948/

LA Times: The surprising reason California survived record summer heat without blackouts "...In fact, the state has not issued a Flex Alert since 2022, and it has not implemented rotating outages since 2020. Over the last few years, California has quietly but dramatically increased the resiliency of its electrical grid through a significant expansion in battery energy storage. These batteries hold onto solar energy captured during the day, so it can be sent to the grid as demand peaks in the evening and morning, when most people are at home running air conditioners and other appliances. ..." (paywall, but gist of it is in the paragraph above). https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-09-11/how-california-survived-hottest-august-ever-without-flex-alerts #powergrid #climateemergency #heatwaves #CAwx

Oooh, solar powered attic fan arrived! Now, hopefully it will cool off enough I can install it this weekend. (I dread to figure out the actual temperature in the attic at this moment). I can at least mount the solar panel fairly quickly and easily during cool morning hours. I really should put a sensor up in the attic and see how hot it is getting. #heatwaves #heatmitigation #climateemergency

Rising global temperatures caused by the burning of fossil fuels are transforming the world’s forests, wetlands and tundra to the point they are releasing emissions that could further worsen global heating by as much as 30%, a new study has found. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/sep/10/climate-feedback-loops-global-warming-study

“We have contributed so little to climate change. It is imperative for those in the global community who benefit from larger, much more polluting economies, and whose historical contribution to greenhouse gases is much bigger than ours, to accept a shared responsibility. This affects all of humanity.” #Nepal #ClimateEmergency Nepal says big polluters must ‘wake up’ as it calls for climate compensation over flood disaster | Nepal-Tibet flood disaster | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/08/nepal-floods-climate-compensation
