Climate disasters and mental health:

“ “I was very afraid to see the water shortage and how all my family and friends were suffering”…

Various studies have confirmed that prolonged exposure to heat affects physical and mental health, increasing the risks of exhaustion, heatstroke, mood disorders, anxiety… and even suicidal thoughts.””

@owiecc Apropos #baselineShift: I dream of connecting #climateScience, #ecology, and #culturalHeritage knowledge for communication.

Volunteering in a museum and cultural heritage centre, I once compared the #traditions of a public holiday, old chronicles, and nowadays #climate / #biodiversity change of our region: cronenburg.net/magic/

This makes the topic tangible for people and shows the deep cuts in the well-known.

Faced with an overflowing cornucopia of the fruit of human curiosity about our world, how does one decide where to stick in a fork?

Our volunteer staffer Bärbel Winkler will be attending the #EGU 2025 General Assembly and (no surprise-- it's Bärbel) has a methodical plan to cope with surfeit.

Helping the public understand #ClimateScience is our mission. Bärbel will be presenting useful information about collaborative #ScienceCommunications at this year's event.

2024 European State of the Climate (ESOTC) report

Key messages:
a)
#Europe experienced its warmest year, with the second highest number of heat stress days and tropical nights, on record.

b)
The area of Europe experiencing days with temperatures below freezing is decreasing, with the year seeing the largest area on record with fewer than three months (90 days) of frost days. The number of ‘cold stress days’ was the lowest on record.

c)
For the European region and for the Mediterranean Sea, the annual sea surface temperature was the highest on record. It was also the warmest year on record for European lakes.

d)
#Glaciers in #Scandinavia and #Svalbard saw their highest recorded annual rates of mass loss. They also saw the largest mass loss of any #glacier region globally.

e)
Western Europe saw one of the ten wettest years on record and Europe experienced the most widespread #flooding since 2013.

f)
The year saw a record proportion of electricity generation by renewables, at 45%

In a PhD exam about atmospheric chemistry three weeks ago ,I asked the candidate what would happen if the US stopped collecting the data of the kind she had used in her thesis. A good discussion followed. Now here it is.

Despite the seriousness of the threats, it is a pragmatic book helping to find ways to tap into personal agency, switching off malignant media, while calling out the lies and delusion that have gripped western society."

We’re not anywhere near that yet, but many conservationists are now using the tools of restoration…in hopes that it will also build resilience in a hotter, less forgiving world.”

Experts shareAbout 90 kilometers (56 miles) southeast of Cape Town lies the tranquilly-named town of Betty’s Bay in South Africa, home to less than 2,000 people.
