As feared, Storm Boris is wreaking havoc across parts of Central Europe with major flooding becoming widespread throughout the region. Here’s a 50-hour visible satellite and radar loop courtesy of Zoom Earth

A weather station in Czech Republic has recorded over 450 mm of rain over the past 96 hours, leading to disastrous flooding. That’s half a year's worth of rain in just 4 days.

Here is, where we used to have lunch during European Geosciences Union from #EGU05 to #EGU24, talking about heavy precipitation and flooding in a warming climate for nearly two decades...

The white ice is turning into blue water... Impression from today's GLAMOS fieldwork on Findel #Glacier, Zermatt. Significant ice loss again despite lots of snow in winter. The decay of our beautiful glaciers is ongoing 😢

Yesterday I posted about the floods and had dozens of denialists insisting that: - it was normal weather - flooding has always happened - it was because of blocked drains & undredged rivers If any of them are real people then they are the victims of horrific disinformation

New analysis by World Weather Attribution says #climatechange made the ten deadliest #extremeweather events of the last 20 years more intense – and more likely. Find out more and download the full study ⬇️ worldweatherattribution.org/10-years-of-ra…

Curious about the #impacts of #climatechange on #alpine mass movements like #avalanches, #debrisflows, and #rockfalls? Check out this great piece of work by @MyleneJac and Samuel Weber @Rock_n_Ice , recently published in Earth Science Reviews! 🌍🔥➡️🧊🪨❄️ doi.org/10.1016/j.ears…

Record-breaking rainfall and flash floods have hit Spain, causing dozens of casualties and massive disruption and economic losses. It underlines why the top priority of the WMO community is to save lives as climate change super-charges extreme weather.    wmo.int/media/news/dev…

Emissions from eMobility depend heavily on electricity footprints. In Norway and Switzerland, EVs are genuinely low-carbon, while in China, savings are only ~50%. Decarbonizing electricity is essential for Net Zero—it powers all sectors, and electrification makes low-carbon

It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm. And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight euronews.com/travel/2024/12…

🤝 In 2025, we’re focused on strengthening collaborations with the UN Family so that all nations—especially the most vulnerable—can build resilience to extreme weather, climate, water, and environmental events.

Every fraction of a degree matters! To reach #ZeroClimateDisasters we must: 1️⃣stop the creation of new risks by rapidly reducing emissions 2️⃣ accelerate action on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction ow.ly/gIq450RYHKP

Sinkende CO₂-Senkenleistung der Wälder gefährdet Klimaziele: Klimawandel, Feuer & Abholzung schwächen CO₂-Aufnahmefähigkeit von Wäldern. Wird Waldschutz & Emissionsrückgang um 5 Jahre verzögert, könnten sich Klimaschutzkosten verdoppeln, so PIK Studie. pik-potsdam.de/de/aktuelles/n…
