'Climate breakdown' warning

Portugal:

EU Issues 'Climate Breakdown' Warning Amid Record Flooding And Deadly Wildfires, The worst flooding in years has hit a broad swath of Central Europe. At the other end of the 27-nation bloc, raging fires through Portugal have killed at least six. Raf Casert, Sept 18, 2024

Doomsday Glacier:

Scientists looked deep beneath the Doomsday Glacier. What they found spells potential disaster for the planet

"New study: Unfortunately, most of the planet's vital parameters are still heading in the wrong direction. CO2, temperature, sea level, deforestation, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, etc. It will probably stay that way until most people consistently choose climate protection."

Neue Studie: Leider gehen die meisten Vitalparameter des Planeten immer noch in die falsche Richtung. CO2, Temperatur, Meeresspiegel, Entwaldung, Meeresversauerung, Korallenbleiche, usw. Das wird wohl so bleiben, bis die meisten Menschen konsequent Klimaschutz wählen. www.fr.de/wissen/repor...

"In the Amazon rainforest right now, the political mood music and government policies are much better under President Lula than they were under President Bolsonaro, yet the situation on the ground is becoming worse. Ever longer dry seasons have left some of the world’s biggest rivers at horrendously low levels and there have been more fires this year than at any time in two decades.
It is sadly not enough for this government to be better than the last. It needs help from the rest of the world. That is clear from the big trends: South America is becoming hotter, drier and more flammable. Fires are turning forests into carbon emitters rather than carbon sinks. Up to half of the Amazon could hit a tipping point by 2050 as a result of water stress, land clearance and climate disruption.
Forest dwellers are having to cope with a daily reality that increasingly resembles an apocalypse. Promises of help are predicated on even more business as usual. Not surprisingly, many feel they are victims of a confidence trick."
