The Mediterranean will be faced with extreme warming and climate change THIS decade.
IPCC provides a false sense of security.

The effects on agriculture in Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria will be devastating.
The extreme Mediterranean heat will cause even more extreme flooding even more extreme droughts and even more extreme wild fires than was seen in 2021-2024
2025-2029 will be MUCH worse

Great to hear a scientist and environmentalist - @elainemcgoff.bsky.social - and a farmer in nitrates derogation separately say the same thing here: that the government-led drive for maximum productivity was a MASSIVE mistake, with our rivers and (now, potentially) farmers paying the price.
I had the a welcome opportunity to move beyond the standard Punch & Judy media setup to properly look under the derogation hood, & explore why the Government measures are failing our waters & failing our farmers.

It's not only wildflowers, birds, or butterflies that bring bright colour to an Irish rainforest.
Fungi add their splash too, like these lovelies on the trunk of a standing dead holly.

At present the issue is how to reinforce existing infrastructure or fortify shoreline, or relocate, Indigenous villages. In future decades major coastal cities around the world will face the same dilemma. Metres of sea-level rise are committed, even if we succeed in reaching net zero.
Storms that battered Alaska’s western coast this fall have brought renewed attention to low-lying Indigenous villages left increasingly vulnerable by climate change.
Alaska Native villages have few options and little US help as climate change devours their land

Was there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking.
Here's some very quick plots showing NOAAGlobalTempv6 data from October too. And see my earlier posts.

This is a big deal. The reduction in sulphur emissions from ships means clouds aren’t as reflective and persistent, so the warming from greenhouse gases is not offset as much. So, while this change is very good for air quality, it’s very bad for almost everything else. #climate
