Data center construction and expansion, compounded by intense water-use by industries like large-scale farms, are also expected to push up water costs

Across all areas of life, four risk factors stand out: age, poverty, disability and social isolation
Ageing, urbanisation and increasing individualisation are likely to exacerbate existing vulnerabilities

The simple truth is, the climate accountability genie is out of the bottle, and the Supreme Court is unlikely to jam it back in. Even if the court sides with Suncor, attribution science will continue to move forward, filling in the gaps between cause and effect in our understanding of how climate works
It is only a matter of time before the courts catch up

The Government of Indonesia has announced that it will stop any further expansion of the Food and Energy Estates project in Papua and will shift all future development for the project for food and crops for bioenergy to degraded lands – a globally significant win for Indonesia’s nature, the climate, and local communities

Bangkok’s floods show what happens when a warming climate meets a sinking city
October 7, 2026
Bangkok’s latest deadly floods were driven by an extraordinary downpour, but the city’s sinking land, rapid urbanisation and rising seas are making extreme rainfall increasingly difficult to absorb and drain

Rising temperatures can reduce milk protein and fat content
European heatwaves caused measurable milk quality declines during 2026
Heat-stressed hens may produce thinner shells and altered yolks
Consumer demand remains largely unaffected despite temporary quality changes
Adaptation mitigates impacts, but extreme heat still poses risks

The water level of Lake Constance is particularly dependent on the River Rhine, which has also been grappling with a historic dry spell. Although this international waterway has around 200 tributaries, the Rhine is by far the most significant source of water, accounting for around 62% of the total

Conclusion
Environmental exposures, particularly air pollution and temperature, may influence the outcome of oral health. Further well-designed studies are needed to clarify causal pathways and strengthen evidence base

This has significant implications for seasonal prediction, climate risk assessment and adaptation planning, particularly in Europe, eastern North America and the Arctic

As an example, personal income explains about 18% of the variance in whether people fly somewhere, while concern about climate change explains less than 1%.
However, the issues caused by climate change (water shortages, high heat) could keep climate change nearer the top of the political agenda

#Switzerland
Its glaciers are melting at an alarming rate and extreme temperatures are breaking all-time heat records. But even more climate disasters will befall Switzerland in the future, a new study reveals.
New research from the Federal Polytechnic Institute (ETH) in Zurich shows that a temperature rise of around 3C by 2100 is currently the most probable scenario for Switzerland

Southern California shatters October heat records as persistent ridge and warm ocean fuel extreme temperatures
Downtown Los Angeles has logged unprecedented consecutive triple-digit days in October, driven by a stubborn high-pressure system and El Niño-warmed waters that have neutralized the region's natural sea breeze
