The water flow in the Rhine keeps plummeting. It had never been below 780 m³/s in summer. When we were at 650, an expert told us it couldn't go much lower. Now we're at 572 m³/s, the lowest on record, even below the ice blocked flow in the winter of 1929.

The push for open access (which turned out to be 'Gold'), first from the grassroots and then top down from governments, has created a situation where big publishers now feel they can (and do) charge outlandish APCs. That $ could more than pay for a graduate student stipend for an entire summer. 1/

Extreme fire weather days are increasing worldwide. Since 1979, days with FWI > p95 have risen globally, closely tracking global warming. More heat → more fire-conducive conditions.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

This is a common finding when studying drought in the recent instrumental record and in future projections: much more change in metrics that include the impacts of warming (on vapor-pressure deficit and potential evapotranspiration) when compared to changes in precipitation alone.
Figure from a Hydrology and Earth System Sciences article about projections of drought in Australia, showing much larger changes for a drought index that includes potential evapotranspiration (SPEI) than for one that only includes precipitation (SPI).
