Still no COBRA meeting though, eh? I wonder how many people are going to die on Thursday because of this, and how little Westminster could care. #ClimateCrisis #UKPol #UKPolitics #Heatwave #Drought

RE: https://fediscience.org/@petergleick/117076672394712164 You might want to read and share this new article with your friends and family. Peter Gleik offers solutions to the increasing global water crisis, so why not learn about these solutions, then demand our governments follow through and take action to stop this humanitarian crisis. #FinnishWaterDiplomacyInitiative #Water #Climate #War #Heatwave #Drought

“Island where it constantly rains is experiencing another drought” by Laura and Normal Island News on Substack @uk_politics “When Margaret Thatcher made England and Wales the only countries in the world with fully privatised water, the naysayers argued it was a terrible idea. Today, everyone agrees privatisation has been a roaring success. It has delivered an impressive rise in customer bills which has coincided with an equally impressive rise in shareholder profits. These improvements were delivered through efficiency savings, such as not building any reservoirs since 1992 and forgetting about silly ideas like sewage treatment. Thanks to neoliberalism, turds are now a common sight at our beaches and marine life is not” https://open.substack.com/pub/normalislandnews/p/island-where-it-constantly-rains #Press #SocialMedia #UK #Drought #WaterPrivatization #ShareholderValue #NeoLiberalism #Thatcher

@mlanger@mastodon.world Yes. Numerous locks are closed due to water shortages. Last year CRT closed most of the Midlands with only a week notice. During that week, locks were restricted to a narrow band of hours. There was frantic #boating that week—at 3 miles per hour—as people got their boats to the right places for winter. Last month, as water levels dropped, I could see it coming. I make a 150-mile detour around closed locks to reach the section that has my winter marina. #CRT #stoppage #UK #drought

The river formerly known as Rhein 🥵 The good news: the water hasn't disappeared - it just relocated. I just hope for the sake of all of us it doesn't come back all at once. #climatechange #drought #river #rhein #karlsruhe #BadenWurttemberg

Europe's nuclear power is increasingly failing amid rising heat and droughts. France’s nuclear fleet has already seen a record number of heat-related outages this summer. Low river Danube waters forced Romania to shut both its nuclear reactors. Hungary is next. Isn’t it time they switch to wind and solar already? https://news.sky.com/story/hungary-to-shut-down-sole-nuclear-power-plant-as-danube-falls-to-record-low-13569304 #wind #solar #renewables #extremeweather #climate #heatwave #drought

#NativeGardenDesign in #Australia: A 2026 Guide How to design a native Australian garden the right way — climate zones, the 5 native garden styles, plant categories, common mistakes, and what it costs in 2026. 17 April 2026 Excerpt: "Why design native (the practical case) - #WaterConsumption. A well-established native garden needs roughly 30-60% less supplemental water than an equivalent ornamental scheme. In #drought-restricted areas, this is the difference between a garden that survives summer and one that doesn't. - Climate match. Indigenous species evolved with your specific climate. They handle your typical heatwaves, frost events, soil pH, and rainfall pattern without intervention. - #Biodiversity. Indigenous plants support indigenous insects (which feed birds, lizards, small mammals), provide nectar for #NativeBees and #honeyeaters, and offer nesting habitat. A 12-month-old native garden is visibly more biologically active than a typical ornamental scheme. - Lower input over time. Less feeding, less spraying, less ongoing intervention once established (typically 12-24 months). - #Bushfire considerations. Some native species (low-flammability plants) are actively recommended in bushfire-prone areas; others (high-oil species) should be avoided or kept away from structures. Native ≠ automatically fire-safe; design matters."

I don't count the #heatwaves in France anymore. I only look for the "coldest" nights to sleep (under 22°C) and how to survive appointments in the outer oven. At 30°-33°C, I make a happy dance because it feels cooler than up to 40°C. I have overwhelming memories when and how I planted the trees I lost to the #drought. I'm sad to have lost an outdoor season and my natural feeling of time. If you want to count: officially we are at No 5 and no end visible. #climateCrisis #ClimateDiary #ecoGrief

The Lower 48, plus Alaska and Puerto Rico, saw a mix of improvements and degradations to dryness or drought conditions this week. A few areas of abnormal dryness emerged on Hawaii. See more change maps: https://go.unl.edu/change-maps #DroughtMonitor #Drought #Drought2026

I don't know who's following the news, but the Danube and other rivers are at an all time low in Hungary. A whole lot of stuff is coming to light. So far people have found a Roman gravestone, mammoth bones, an 18th century fortress, several ships and boats, a WWII German motorbike, at least one stolen car, two discarded guns, and a whole lot of wartime explosives and ammo. What a time to be mudlarking. #Danube #drought #ClimateChange #Hungary

Weekend before last we went to 'Flounders Folly' - it's open once a month and you can go to the top (around 85 feet) and it already is on top of a hill. WHAT a view! Most of those fields you see should be green 😰 (other than the ones with bales in obvs). #shropshire #drought #campsnap
