I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

The Prime Minister of Spain: “This climate emergency is exceeding every threshold and scale that scientists have long warned all of Spain and Europe about.” This is the realistic climate discourse the world needs. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/w...

"These are difficult hours," Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said
Monday afternoon during a news conference in Castellón, on Spain's eastern coast, where a new fire raged and forced thousands of new evacuations.
In the face of what his government has called the largest fires in the country's history, and after a summer of record-breaking heat waves, he called for a national pact with all Spain's political parties to work together to prevent blazes that he attributed to climate change.
"This climate emergency is exceeding every threshold and scale that scientists have long warned all of Spain and Europe about," he said.

New study: most climate models underestimate the decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC. The AMOC is on course to slow by more than 50% by the end of the century. 🌊 Very likely the AMOC will then be past the tipping point for full shutdown. 😨 us.cnn.com/2026/04/16/c...

Fossil capital throwing its weight behind authoritarians is a reaction to the democratic power of the global climate movement 2017-2022. Remember: over those years everyone discovered that carbon-dioxide removal is hard, so for fossil capital global decarbonization would have been apocalyptic. 1/2

An excellent text why the "constructive" use of AI in university courses is more than limited.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?" My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.) The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope? Because Greta is right ..

A quote by Greta Thunberg stating that, "The one thing we need more than hope is actoin. Once we start to act, hope is everywhere."

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

Examining our own behavior may also reveal the structural barriers to low-carbon living: inadequate public transport, meat-heavy food systems, fossil fuel subsidies, and norms that promote consumption. Recognizing those barriers is the first step toward dismantling them.
