A Climate Warning From the Fertile Crescent
--- Quote ---
> As the Middle East braces for another year of extreme heat,
climate change is turning the soil to dust in the landscape that
has long been known as the fertile crescent — and water has
become a new source of conflict.
>
> Alissa J. Rubin, who covers the Middle East, tells the story
of Iraq’s water crisis and what it means for the world.

I've been thinking this myself for quite a while now, Trump,
Putin, and Netanyahu, specifically, are screwing all of us over,
including non-humans!

> It is serious and this is just another sign. Great podcast but
I will say once again: it's really serious and we have been
knowing this for some time now.

"Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu"
Don't forget Orban&Co.. And I would include Milei as well.

NASA reveals 'higher than expected' sea level rise as chilling
maps show areas underwater
--- Quote ---
> Alarming new research shows that the water levels are rising
even faster than previously expected.
>
> Scientists have known for a while that global warming will
continue to melt Earth's glaciers, causing sea levels to rise,
but figures suggest the rise is accelerating even more than
previously thought because of another phenemona.

What If the Climate Crisis Is Bigger Than We Can Handle?
--- Quote ---
> In 2024, scientists reported that Greenland and Antarctica are
losing ice at an alarming rate—over 420 billion tons per year
combined, based on satellite data from NASA. This isn’t just a
distant worry for polar bears; it’s a wake-up call for all of
us.
>
> The melting ice directly contributes to rising sea levels,
which are now increasing by more than 4 millimeters every year,
according to the European Space Agency. This rate is double what
it was in the 1990s.
>
> Coastal cities like Miami, Jakarta, and Venice have already
seen more frequent tidal flooding and storm surges. The
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned in its
2023 report that if this trend continues, hundreds of millions
could lose their homes by 2050.
>
> The sheer scale of ice loss suggests that reversing this trend
may be beyond our current technological reach...

Australia Slammed by Dust Storms Amid Warnings of Rising Climate
Chaos
--- Quote ---
> Just two days ago, Sydney woke up to a nightmarish scene that
felt like déjà vu from the infamous 2009 "Red Dawn" dust storm.
A thick dust storm significantly degraded air quality across
Greater Sydney and the Illawarra region, Australia, on the
morning of May 27, 2025.
>
> This wasn't just any ordinary weather event – at 08:00 LT,
conditions in several areas were classified as "extremely poor,"
later improving to "very poor" by 10:00 LT. The sight of
Australia's largest city shrouded in thick, choking dust serves
as a stark reminder that climate chaos isn't some distant threat
– it's happening right outside our windows.
>
> The storm reduced visibility to 300 metres in some areas and
triggered an air quality alert across the city. What makes this
event particularly alarming is how it mirrors the devastating
patterns we're seeing across the continent, where dust storms
are becoming more frequent and more destructive...

Swiss glacier collapse: 'You can't engineer yourself out of
something of this magnitude'
--- Quote ---
> A huge mass of rock and ice from a glacier thundered down a
Swiss mountainside, sending plumes of dust skyward and burying
nearly all of Blatten, an Alpine village that authorities had
evacuated earlier this month as a precaution. The devastating
landslide is focusing renewed attention on the role of global
warming in glacier collapses around the world. For more on how
glaciers collapse, from the Alps and Andes to the Himalayas and
Antarctica, FRANCE 24's François Picard welcomes Dr. Stuart
Lane, Professor of Geomorphology at University of Lausanne.

Global Military Buildup Threatens Climate Goals With Massive
Emissions
--- Quote ---
> Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7,
reports that NATO’s rearmament and the global military buildup
threaten climate goals by potentially increasing greenhouse gas
emissions by nearly 200 million tons annually. With record
military spending and rising geopolitical tensions worldwide,
the environmental impact of armed conflicts is worsening. More

Arctic Heats Up at Triple the Global Rate as Advanced Models
Warn of Record-Breaking Years and Unprecedented Climate Shifts
--- Quote ---
> “It is shocking that 2C is plausible,” said Adam Scaife of
Britain’s Met Office, echoing a view now shared throughout the
climate science community. For three decades, predictions of
this kind of global warming had seemed far-fetched. Yet, as of
2025, the world faces an 80% chance that at least one year
between now and 2029 will set a new global heat record, with
near-surface temperatures likely to exceed 1.5°C above
pre-industrial levels an event that would have been “effectively
impossible” just a few years ago, according to Scaife in recent
coverage.
