The analysis found that the number of "fire weather" days rose by 37 in the Southwest and by 21 in the West between 1973 and 2024. In Western Utah, fire weather days increased by 34. Climate Central also revealed that multiple areas, including parts of Texas, California, and New Mexico, now experience "around two more months of fire weather per year compared to a half century ago."

The Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) has presented a new report on climate risks for Switzerland.
According to the report, heat poses the greatest risk to the health of the Swiss. Urban areas are particularly affected.
In 2023, 542 deaths in Switzerland could already be attributed to heat.
The report is based on the assumption that climate emissions will continue to rise

Carbon capture is not a climate solution—it’s a fossil fuel lifeline

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is receiving renewed attention. With billions of dollars in subsidies flowing from the Inflation Reduction Act and high-profile backing from major fossil fuel companies, CCS is being touted as a critical solution to the climate crisis

À ce jour, la limite théorique de survie humaine était de 35 °C au thermomètre humide, ce qui représente 35 °C avec une humidité de 100 % ou 46 °C avec 50 % d’humidité.

Or, les présents travaux montrent que cette limite est plus basse et serait comprise entre 26 °C et 31 °C au thermomètre humide

Climate change is playing hardball against the population. The year 2024 was the hottest in history. People feel the rise in temperature, the increase in disasters – such as the flooding in Rio Grande do Sul and the drought in the Amazon – and the increase in diseases on a daily basis. But few notice the advance of an unexpected adversary: the sea

"We can show that increasing the number of trees by at least 30% could reduce the number of hours per year of extreme heat by nearly 64% and the amount of runoff by 58%, so trees can strengthen resistance to heat and flooding, especially in districts with high building density," Saha said.

The results of the two projects show that diverse green spaces with trees can improve human health in cities & mitigate the negative effects of climate change

This is more than data—it’s the birth of a global climate dashboard, something akin to a Bloomberg Terminal for Earth’s health. Investors, regulators, insurers, and policymakers now have regular insight into exactly who is polluting, how much, and where. The era of vague commitments and unchecked greenwashing just got a powerful new opponent

Figures like Trump and Musk have been lionised as mavericks, visionaries, and even saviours, when in reality, they are the harbingers of destruction.
