This Is What Climate Change Looks Like

There are two wildfires within smoke-drift of my home. One is contained, the other doubled in size in one day. Hundreds of people have had to evacuate, but so far no homes have been lost, so far as I know.

We have had very hot temperatures, minimal or no rain for weeks, and wind. We get lots of wind. Essentially, we have drought conditions. Also, because we are on an island, we have high humidity. If that all sounds contradictory to you, you are in good company. I don’t get it either. I had a heat pump technician explain it to my like I was five but I still didn’t understand.

Anyway, here is tonight’s sunset. And, if you get a chance, tell your local political representative that climate change is real, and it decimates forests, and it terrifies people, and it sometimes destroys homes. I don’t think they know this.

Also, I don’t know what happens to all the forest animals. Ask your politicians about that, too. Maybe they care about non-human animals.

"Acute climate change" might sum up the overall tone of the impacts section of our latest survey of #ClimateChange in the news.

Meanwhile, in the politics and policy arena we see how the US administration is desperately and destructively trying to make us ignorant of our predicament, going so far as to destroy orbital instruments informing us of the mess we've made. See "Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose," from NPR (also a target).

When leadership at the highest level abjectly fails us, what about closer to home? See "A new report shows how local climate activism leads to `remarkable` gains," via Grist.

speed, scale, and disposability are redefining each of them. Instant meals replace slow cooking, trend-driven wardrobes push clothes into landfills, and concrete towers rise in weeks where farmlands stood for centuries. These are not mere lifestyle shifts; they are fuelling ecological stress & social inequities

For small-scale farmers up against floods, droughts and other dramatic climate events, diversifying income sources can mean financial safety — a lifeline as crop-growing conditions destabilize. But in Nepal, where natural hazards rank among the most severe in the world, how farmers perceive climate-related risks often leads them to double down on agriculture instead of exploring other livelihoods, according to a study led by a Penn State researcher

How climate change endangers mothers and children

Rising temperatures are rewriting the earliest stages of life, according to a new report

The world's largest climate polluters — the U.S. and China — went in opposite directions in the first six months of 2025. Chinese CO2 emissions fell 2.7%, while U.S. emissions role 4.2%, according to a global emissions tracker led by academics. China continues to emit more planet-warming pollution than any other nation thanks to its appetite for coal, but a boom in solar power may change that. Here's more from @politico.
