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

Around the world, cities are making room for nature. Concrete and asphalt trap heat, making heatwaves even harder to deal with. That’s why more and more cities are bringing nature back into urban spaces 🌳 From planting urban forests to replacing paved spaces with greenery, these solutions help keep cities cooler and more liveable for everyone 💚 Which one would you like to see in your city? #heatwaves #climateaction #urbantrees #greenercities

"Three Lions Die at Zoo in Tokyo; Autopsies Indicate Deaths Caused by Heatstroke" Autopsies revealed that all three suffered from dehydration and multiple organ failure, and the cause of all the deaths is believed to be heatstroke. Three additional lions remain in poor health and are undergoing treatment. https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/general-news/20260803-341599/ #ClimateCrisis #Heatwaves #Wildfires #ExtremeWeather #NoPipelines #Tokyo #Japan #Kokusho #KokushoBi

"While Canada faces record-breaking wildfires and heat waves, and current global events have exposed fossil fuel market volatility, Prime Minister Mark Carney is promising to fast-track and finance a new climate-polluting, ecosystem-destroying, economically reckless pipeline that will add to Canada’s climate crisis." "Act now. Message your MP and tell them to invest your taxpayer dollars in clean energy solutions instead of a new bitumen pipeline." https://davidsuzuki.org/action/tell-your-mp-stop-fuelling-canadas-climate-crisis-with-new-pipeline/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires #Heatwaves #BCPoli #ABPoli

Ravenous #wildfires. Searing #heatwaves. Freakish #storms. The summer of 2026 has already shattered meteorological records in several European countries. On a continent that has weathered centuries of upheaval — ruinous wars, deadly pandemics — it is the weather itself that now has #Europe feeling close to a breaking point. #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #ClimateCrisis

#Europe is not alone, of course. #Heatwaves gripped #Australia & #Japan this year. #Floods devastated #Kenya & #Angola. A snowstorm paralyzed the Eastern #UnitedStates. Developing countries in the Southern Hemisphere are still more vulnerable than wealthy Europe to the effects of a changing climate. #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #ClimateCrisis

@dalias@hachyderm.io I don't believe in a very quick burst. But I know that we need to stop every crazy waste of life ressources like water, and use of fossile fuels *NOW*. It's possible, people could already stop datacenters in the planning, before the land was destroyed! Activism is not for being "easy" but for acting! #climatecrisis #drought #heatwaves #wildfires #WaterSafety @anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange

Europe’s extreme heat has killed around 20,000 people in just one week, including over 5,700 deaths in France alone, while a five‑day heatwave in India was linked to nearly 30,000 excess deaths. Adapting our homes, cities and health systems and protecting people from the fossil‑fuelled climate crisis must now be treated as an ABSOLUTE political priority. #heat #fires #health #climatechange #climatecrisis #heatwaves #makepolluterspay

"Extreme heat is scorching our health: increased irritability, poorer sleep and more cardiovascular problems For every one-degree Celsius rise in ambient temperature, heat-related mortality increases by 35%. Living with this sweltering climate means that we have to take precautions Extreme heat makes us sick. And, in many ways, it kills us. The most striking – albeit infrequent – effect is heatstroke, a medical emergency characterized by a body temperature exceeding 40°C (104°F), which causes an altered mental status, along with a high risk of multiple organ failure and death. However, there are many more potentially serious physiological imbalances linked to high temperatures. Heat stress – which occurs when the body’s need to dissipate heat exceeds its capacity to do so – can also lead to cardiovascular problems, worsen sleep quality, increase irritability and exacerbate mental health disorders." https://english.elpais.com/health/2026-07-25/extreme-heat-is-scorching-our-health-increased-irritability-poorer-sleep-and-more-cardiovascular-problems.html #climate #health #heatwaves

“We are experiencing exactly what the climate models in the 1990s said we should experience now... ... more frequent, more severe #heatwaves, bigger temperature anomalies, more humidity, higher overnight temperatures... all part and parcel of the climate story" ~ #ClimateCentral org The 3rd major #HeatDome in a month is set to hit southern & central U.S.. Temperatures of 95-105F (35-40C) are expected -- potentially reaching 120F (48C) in some areas. #ClimateChange https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/25/scorching-us-heat-wave

Increasingly hot Europe faces more Severe Droughts and Growing Challenges for Water and Land Management The European summer of 2026 has so far been characterised by exceptional #heat and widespread #dryness (#Copernicus, 2026). Between April and June, large parts of the continent, from #Portugal in the southwest to southern #Finland in the northeast, received below-average rainfall. Combined with successive #heatwaves, these conditions have intensified drought across #Europe, contributing to widespread #agricultural and #hydrological impacts, unusually low river levels (#NOS, 2026), and severe #wildfires, particularly in #Spain and #France, where 116,000 and 42,000 hectares have already been burnt, respectively (#EFFIS, 2026). Although western Europe experienced a relatively wet start to the year, persistent precipitation deficits in eastern Europe carried over from 2025, resulting in different types and stages of drought developing across the continent. With forecasts indicating little relief in the near term, the summer of 2026 is emerging as one of Europe’s most significant heat and #drought events in recent years. https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/increasingly-hot-europe-faces-more-severe-droughts-and-growing-challenges-for-water-and-land-management/ #WeatherAttribution #ClimateScience

As Japan enters another long, hot summer, many will struggle to get a proper sleep. Around the world, human-induced climate change is at least partly to blame for a growing sleep deficit. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/07/19/climate-change/sleep-deprivation-summer-heat/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #emissions #sleep #health #heatwaves

If you need to go out in the heat anyway, this is the message you need right now. I say this as someone who hates YouTube and does NOT watch YouTube without an extremely compelling reason. Except Sarah Taber. I will actually watch to the end of a video of @sarahtaber@mastodon.online, because she is funny and smart and actually cares about keeping people from dying. And an actual farmer. #Heatwaves https://mastodon.online/@sarahtaber/116907540433115065
