We have your rain! About a third of Australia’s 2nd largest state, Queensland, is under water: “outback Queensland hit by record-breaking rainfall and flooding”. Eight river systems are at major flood levels…

South Korea is facing one of the worst forest fires in its history around Uiseong county. 27 people have been killed and 32 injured so far.
There has also been significant damage to cultural heritage. The fires have already destroyed the Gounsa temple, which was built in 618 AD and was one of the largest temples in the province.

The Trump admin talking about an energy emergency is a LIE. There are at least 1,000 permits that have been issued to the fossil fuel industry over the last 20 yrs that the industry is still not utilizing and NONE of them requires using already protected federal lands.
The only reason to do this is strip away more federal land and give it to oligarchs and corporations. To enrich the 1%.

Dinosaur National Monument among 13 potential sites for energy development, according to NCPA A national conservation group has identified Dinosaur National Monument on the Colorado-Utah border as a possible site for energy exploration. https://www.9news.com/mobile/article/news/local/dinosaur-national-monument-colorado-utah-among-sites-for-energy-development/73-27828cb6-9437-4937-a67e-2cc00fec3783
Quality observations on the climate changes affecting real people right now.
In SA there are towns experiencing 42°C with more expected this weekend.
It used to rain and fill water tanks.
Some places in SA have not had rain for 146 days - and that was a few days ago. Water carters cannot keep up with the demand.

The insurance faculty at the University of Exeter have assessed the risk from climate change (among other things).
The headline is:
"Highly likely Catastrophic warming levels experienced pre-2050, with Extreme warming possible".
"Catastrophic" is their category for >2 billion deaths, and "Extreme" is >4 billion deaths.
A massive storm has hit the Argentinian port city of Bahia Blanca. Nearly a year's rain fell flooding streets and even the hospital.
13 are dead, as well as 2 girls- reportedly aged 4 & 1 who are missing after possibly being swept away by floodwaters.
For environment official Andrea Dufourg, the extreme weather event "is a clear example of climate change."

Whoop!
"‘A new phase’: why climate activists are turning to sabotage instead of protest"
“We vow to wage a campaign of sabotage targeting the tools, property and machinery of those most responsible for global warming, escalating until they accept our demands for an end to all support for fossil fuel expansion.”
He said new laws further criminalising disruptive protests had made traditional, accountable methods of activism increasingly unsustainable, and a clandestine approach increasingly attractive. He pointed to the case of activists from JSO who received sentences of four and five years – reduced on Friday after an appeal – for organising road blocks on the M25.
“If you want to do anything that is disruptive, the penalty is pretty massive now, and so these draconian laws mean it is hard to get very much pressure … by following the kind of things that [Extinction Rebellion] and JSO have done in the past, because people will be arrested and put away for a long time,” he said.
“You can’t just keep doing that … The actual number of people who are committed to risk jail time to do this are pretty small in number.”
"EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Invested) is possibly the most important ratio to modern human existence. This measure is foundational to our civilization, yet understood by few.
EROEI is why we're able to support 8 billion humans, why atmospheric CO2 is 425ppm and also why human civilization will eventually collapse."
I want to stop climate change/ collapse. To quote a phrase from Richard Dennis, it's the person sitting next to me who doesn't.

I’m not sure what you mean by “fancier”, but we need to grow diverse plants of old varieties to foster as much genetic diversity in our foods as possible. That way we’ll have a better chance of having some that can handle climate collapse.
Monoculture of staple foods is our biggest liability in the face of #ClimateCollapse
They’ll likely have lower yields, and be more expensive because of that, but it is vital to have that diversity.
"Rolling back on climate actions may spell rise in preventable illness – study
Net zero policies would result in fewer deaths saving UK billions, say researchers"
Mind you so would rolling back disease prevention measures and that doesn't seem to be stopping the US 
We would halve #methane emissions from North America if we cut cattle by half 
A most efficient path would be to target #USA because the headcount is biggest and because each bovine emits most if bred the American way. Same as in Brazil: https://mas.to/@maugendre/113992940508282754
Ref: http://data.yt/
"Already in 2023, air pollution related to powering U.S. data centers led to 360 premature deaths and total health costs of $5.6 billion across the nation, the researchers estimated. But those figures factored in just the average power-plant pollutant emissions."
Let's consider activities that force the Greenhouse Effect, thus @climate change.
#Livestock digestion emits too much #methane:
• People farm too many bovines in India, Pakistan, Brazil, United States, China;
• People farm too many goats in India, Pakistan, China, Nigeria;
• People farm too many pigs in China and the United States.
After the US withdrew from the Paris Agreement a second time, Indonesia the 6th largest global emitter is considering withdrawing as well.
"Temperatures at north pole 20-30C above average and beyond ice melting point"
“This was a very extreme winter warming event”.
Also, the northern hemisphere has the least sea-ice ever recorded for this date.
In the most untouched, pristine parts of the Amazon, birds are dying. Scientists may finally know why.
"They found that harsher dry seasons significantly reduced the survival of 83% of species. A 1C increase in dry season temperature would reduce the average survival of birds by 63%."

We know the richest among us are prepping for climate change. Not trying to slow or stop it, but literally building bunkers prepping. And I wonder how much of the current AI push is about that. Cos they know a lot of us are gonna die. And they know a lot of us are gonna be angry. And they need to find a workforce that won't die and won't rebell, or else suffer the most dire of consequences: an interruption of service.
I mean it's *possible* to blow up a pipeline without killing anyone, so there's that.
