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.
#ClimateChange-driven summer heat caused 16,500 additional deaths across Europe, study estimates
Malcolm Mistry & Pierre Masselot explain that cities & societies need to adapt to #ExtremeHeat but reducing greenhouse gas emissions is critical. @lshtm-dash.bsky.social

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.

Members of Israel’s government embrace the Trump-inspired vision of a Gaza of gleaming towers, ritzy tourism and pristine neighborhoods, but without Palestinians.

Meinung: Friedrich Merz’ Bundestagsrede: Ein Zechpreller als Bundeskanzler – Kolumne
Friedrich Merz findet, Deutschland müsse erst einmal nicht mehr so viel für die Zukunft der Menschheit tun: Unser Anteil an den Emissionen sei doch so klein. Das ist ein sehr schlechtes Argument.

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.
The Western Mediterranean has been record warm recently, shown here for the June averages from ERA5.
This much warmth in the Mediterranean may predict a brutally hot summer for Europe.

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.
