Most countries are facing high levels of drought in 2026

India and Pakistan have both been experiencing periods of extreme heat for several years but for many in the Global North, that was a “them” problem. This past month has brought home what 40° actually feels like for those living in Europe and many parts of North America. Suddenly the rights of workers in heatwaves feels like an urgent issue. In the ultimate irony, a London Climate Week event about excessive heat had to be cancelled because of… excessive heat.Naming extreme heat episodes could be a step in making people understand these aren’t like the old heatwaves of the 20th century – our baseline temperatures have already risen by 1° to 1.5° so every heatwave starts from a higher point. What can one person do? Every time someone mentions the heat, talk about the fossil fuel created climate crisis that is the cause of the heat. Think about your own heat readiness. Look around your neighbourhood – are there cooling centres? Reach out to your municipality and local organizations about how more can be created. Community starts with people just talking to each other. Say hello to your neighbours. Share a story. Look out for each other. — Extinetion Rebelio

Climate adaptation at its limits, says one scientist A climate scientist says Earth is “passing the limits of adaptation” when it comes to withstanding the effects of climate change. All the coverage this week of the wildfires happening across Western Europe, one line stood out to me. A European climate scientist said, all this heat, all these fires, are likely going to get worse in the future to the point that we will be, quote, “passing the limits of adaptation.” I wondered what that looks like. What happens when climate change becomes so disruptive that humans cannot adapt fast enough? So we called that scientist to ask. Johan Rockstrom is director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, and he noted that 200-some years since the Industrial Revolution, the Earth has remained fairly resilient, but that is changing.

The reason why I didn’t want to make a career out of urban planning directly relates to the reason why quality of life sucks across the United States, relative to much of Europe and the rest of the world. The United States has effectively brainwashed its people — that would be an overstated cliché if it weren’t true. — I Thought This Was Normal Until I Left the United States You don’t understand quality of life until you’ve experienced something different.

Neoliberalism To Trumpism: The Re-Normalization Of White Supremacy As State Ideology

DOJ Drops Reflecting Pool Case, But Olympian’s Lawyers Say That Won’t ‘Erase the Abuse’ of Power“ The use of false charges and criminal prosecutions to deflect blame away from politically powerful leaders and their allies is an abuse of the justice system that cannot be tolerated,” said another critic.

Nuclear ‘Abundance’ Is BunkThe United States has been on the precipice of a “nuclear renaissance” for four decades. And I can tell you right now, with confidence, that it will never happen. Why? Because nuclear power is getting more costly while solar alternatives are getting cheaper. By a lot. And the persistence—by politicians like Governor Kathy Hochul, by policymakers on both sides of the aisle, and even by smart analysts like Ezra Klein—to wish nuclear back into competitiveness suggests why we localists should always be skeptical of top-down theories of change.

Leaked: How Britain Exploits US Empire Donald Trump entered the July 7th/8th NATO summit having recently condemned the alliance as a “paper tiger” over its collective failure to abet the calamitous Zionist-American war on Iran, repeatedly threatened to withdraw US forces from Europe, with reveries of Greenland’s annexation still abounding. He left boasting of the intense “love” and “unity” within NATO, while praising member states for their reaffirmed commitment to spending ever-increasingly vast sums on ‘defence’. Meanwhile, the Ukraine proxy war’s world-threatening continuation appears assured for potentially years to come. As such, the NATO summit signifies a significant triumph in Britain’s neverending battle to exploit the US Empire to further her own objectives. Highly revealing leaked files amply spell out how the alliance is a key mechanism by which Washington’s “interest” in Europe and West Asia is insidiously maintained, via London’s covert and overt machinations. NATO provides an invaluable “umbrella”, by which Britain projects economic, intelligence, military, and political power throughout these regions and the wider world, while countering competitors.

Funders Need to Catch Up to the Anti-Data Center MovementThe anti-fracking movement and the Inflation Reduction Act coalition were both built in part on early philanthropic bets on local and national organizing; data center resistance can follow the same pattern, but only if the money shows up while the moment is live.
