Random #PhotoOfTheDay taken earlier today: extremely un-sensational but this marks the highest point in The Netherlands at no less than 322.5 meters this is even less than the Eiffel Tower! Un-sensational but maybe interesting. #travelling #TheNetherlands

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

People are always surprised to learn that packaging, processing, and transportation are almost always small contributors (<10%) of food-related GHG emissions. The TYPE of food we eat -- meat versus plants -- is a MUCH bigger factor.
Bar chart of greenhouse gas emissions associated with the lifecycle production of different foods. Beef and lamb are the highest emitting. Farm-level emissions and land use change emissions are the greatest contributors to lifecycle food emissions.

The gently sloping line at the bottom is our world 252 million years ago, when temperatures increased by 8C across 60,000 years killing 90% of all species. It is a period known as The Great Dying. That vertical red line is the world our children live in.

Also die Daten sind mehr als eindeutig: Einige Orte in Europa (zum Beispiel London, wie hier dargestellt) hatten seit Mitte Mai kaum noch "normale" oder sogar niedrigere als durchschnittliche Temperaturen.
Liniendiagramm zur täglichen Höchsttemperatur in London von Mai bis Oktober 2026. Die schwarze Linie zeigt den Temperaturverlauf, das graue Band den klimatologischen Bereich (5.–95. Perzentil). Rote Flächen markieren überdurchschnittlich warme Tage, blaue Flächen unterdurchschnittlich kühle Tage. Mehrere rot beschriftete „Heatwave“-Abschnitte heben Hitzewellen Ende Mai sowie mehrfach im Juni, Juli und Anfang August hervor; Anfang Juni ist zusätzlich der Hinweis „Is Summer already over??“ bei einer kurzen kühlen Phase eingefügt. Eine gestrichelte vertikale Linie mit der Beschriftung „TODAY“ markiert Anfang August, wo die Temperatur bei etwa 32 °C liegt. Rechts steht der Text „Guess what? Heatwave“, der auf eine weitere Hitzewelle hinweist. Die x-Achse zeigt die Monate Mai bis Oktober 2026, die y-Achse die maximale Temperatur in Grad Celsius (ca. 10–35 °C).

About ten years ago I wrote a climate thriller. For the sake of writing I had to exaggerate things, but now almost all came true or is even worse. Only one thing not yet: people crossing the river Rhine on foot. Some wading but no swimming needed.

Der 🇺🇦 Außenminister Andrii Sybiha weist auf X darauf hin, dass die Bilder aus #Ceuta von (pro-)russischen Medien und Kremloutlets systematisch mit entsprechenden #Krisennarrativen verbreitet und werden, um europäische Staaten zu destabilisieren.
We have detected an intensive Russian propaganda campaign across Europe using pictures from Ceuta to sow destabilization. 

There have been more than 1,500 publications on outlets identified by analysts as a pro-Russian network, led by Pravda and RT. Pravda Spanish has posted almost 300 of them. Every language edition of RT has pushed more than 25 news items on the issue.

For years, Moscow has used migration and other sensitive topics to stoke fear and destabilize European countries. 

This is not about the situation itself, but about the way Russia tries to exploit any topic that can benefit its agenda. The only way to protect the public from this interference is to cut it off. 

All Russian propaganda resources should be completely banned in every European country that takes its national security seriously.
