More than 1,000 have died since mid-June from flooding that a senior official called a “climate-induced humanitarian disaster.”
Here are the latest stats from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communications. The preconditions for “creating political will for climate change solutions” are there.
Five weeks. Five instances of 1,000-year rain events. If it seems like the weather across the Lower 48 as of late has been bonkers, you’re not imagining things. It’s been a maelstrom of weather extremes, a seesaw fluctuating wildly from significantly dry to record wet conditions.

New data has revealed extraordinary rates of global heating in the Arctic, up to seven times faster than the global average.
The heating is occurring in the North Barents Sea, a region where fast rising temperatures are suspected to trigger increases in extreme weather in North America, Europe and Asia.
Five years ago Project Drawdown published a collection of “drawdown solutions,” technologies and practices that can achieve drawdown—the point when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing. This update adds 11 new solutions and confirms that humanity can reach drawdown quickly, safely, efficiently, and equitably.
