If you want to see just how much climate change amplified the extreme summer of 2026 in Europe, this is a good place to start. …a summer that pushed heat, drought, wildfires and other extremes into truly remarkable territory, as climate science has predicted. climate.copernicus.eu/sites/defaul...

🌍 A super El Niño is becoming a global stress test — from fisheries and food security to wildfire risk and coral reefs. Three recent Nature pieces trace the same story: impacts are accelerating, preparedness matters, and ecosystems need every bit of resilience we can build. #ElNino #ClimateChange 🌐🧪

#TerrierTuesday regulars know that Pebble is an easy-going pup but he absolutely #hates a muzzle! In Vienna muzzles are obligatory on public transport so we trained Pebble to wear one but he tolerates it only as long as in the metro/ tram and will not walk until we take it off 😅 #PetHates
