As the greatest atmospheric polluter on earth exits climate agreements, Jan 6, 2026 becomes the hottest Jan 6th ever recorded in the ERA5 dataset at +1.65ºC above preindustrial.

Of course records like this will keep breaking as the steady march to 2ºC and more continues.

What a way to start 2026.

The abduction of a head of state and the unprovoked attack on Venezuela are extremely dangerous. This is the most naked form of imperialism, which - if unopposed and unresisted - puts every country and government at the mercy of the US, and any other powerful country that tries to copy it.

The US aggression against Venezuela is naked imperialism. All pretext has been exposed as farce. An invasion would cause tens of thousands of deaths. Every sane person must oppose this madness.

"[T]he attributable climate signal in winter precipitation in Europe appears to be emerging much faster than GCMs have projected. [T]his will mean that future flood risk, particularly in northern Europe, is substantially underestimated by GCMs and that risk is already higher than the models suggest"
"...the magnitude of observed changes is approximately 23 years ahead of the CMIP6 multi-model mean predictions. Our results suggest that current adaptation strategies... may underestimate the near-term risk of #climate -related hazards"

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

The Israeli Knesset advanced two bills to annex the West Bank during JD Vance’s visit to Israel, a move widely condemned as a blow to peace efforts. President Trump reiterated his opposition to annexation, despite rising pressure from Israeli lawmakers.

There’s so much research emphasizing this point yet it has no effect on centrist parties who, with little to offer on bread and butter issues, often want to boost far-right issues to create elections in which they are the only alternative to Fascism. Look at Macron, it doesn’t work for long.
German study shows how far right sets agenda thanks to mainstream parties reshaping their communications to respond to what are initially fringe issues, boosting the spread of these ideas and signalling to voters that these ideas and stances were legitimate
