Bomb the Arctic, dam the Mediterranean and build a second moon: five outlandish plans to remodel our #climate | #Geoengineering
▻https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/06/five-outlandish-plans-to-remodel-earth-climate

#Humans have long sought to #geoengineer the Earth’s environment. Tim Flannery outlines a few of the wildest ideas from the 20th century

An increasing number of scientists think we have let the climate crisis fester for so long that our only hope to stave off ever-intensifying catastrophes is to use #technological interventions. Cloud brightening, injecting sulphur into the #atmosphere and the use of tiny mirrors in space – all of which might reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth’s surface – are among the concepts being promoted by entrepreneurs and governments alike. Geoengineering, they argue, is now inevitable.

#France Is Hotter Than the #Sahara. This Is Everyone’s Warning.
▻https://www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/france-is-hotter-than-the-sahara-this-is-everyone-s-warning

27/06/2026

France is currently glowing red with heat. Not metaphorically. Literally. Land surface temperatures in parts of the country have been recorded at levels more commonly associated with the Sahara Desert.

France. The country of vineyards, alpine villages, stone farmhouses, rivers, forests and temperate European summers. Looking like the Sahara. That should stop us in our tracks.

The real story isn’t that France is having a #heatwave. It’s that #climate_change is making places behave like somewhere else. Places are beginning to lose the climate that shaped their buildings, their farms, their infrastructure, their ecosystems, their communities, cultures and expectations of normal life.

Europe must choose between AI and climate goals, data center lobby says

BRUSSELS — #Europe must prioritize #artificial_intelligence over its immediate #climate ambitions or risk surrendering its #tech #sovereignty to #China.

That’s the view of the president of the European Data Centre Association, which lobbies the #EU on behalf of data center companies.

Lex Coors said that Europe’s energy system is not ready to power advanced AI data centers, and Europe may need to fall back on new #carbon-emitting gas power plants to meet its tech sovereignty goals.

Tu vois, le souci de la souveraineté technologique, c’est pas les GAFAM, le souci, c’est la Chine. Et faut rouvrir les centrales à charbon américain, sinon les IA chinoises vont nous manger tous crus.

Mentre le città si scaldano, un’onda di soluzioni creative sta trasformando piazze, parchi e biblioteche in oasi di refrigerio. Scopriamo come i rifugi climatici urbani stanno rivoluzionando l’adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici.

Le estati in Europa sono sempre più torride, con ondate di calore che mettono a dura prova la salute dei cittadini e la resilienza delle nostre città. In un mondo che si scalda, l’adattamento climatico in città non è più un’opzione, ma una necessità impellente. Di fronte a questo scenario, le amministrazioni urbane stanno sperimentando soluzioni innovative per rendere le nostre metropoli più vivibili. Una di queste è l’introduzione dei rifugi climatici urbani, oasi di refrigerio in mezzo all’asfalto e al cemento. Questi spazi, che combinano design intelligente, natura e tecnologia, rappresentano un elemento cruciale nelle strategie di raffrescamento urbano. Ma cosa sono esattamente e come stanno trasformando il volto delle città europee, da Roma a Barcellona, da Parigi a Lione? Scopriamolo insieme.

Under #US pressure, #EU moves to soften rules for fighting #climate #superpollutant 
▻https://www.politico.eu/article/under-us-pressure-eu-softens-climate-superpollutant-methane-rules

BRUSSELS — The #European_Union is bowing to demands from the #United_States and the #fossil_fuel industry that it scale back its efforts to fight a planet-warming superpollutant.

The EU in 2021 vowed to curb emissions of #methane and drew up legislation that forces the oil and gas sector to limit emissions of the powerful #greenhouse #gas, which is responsible for around a third of the global rise in #temperatures since the industrial era.

Now, however, #Brussels is poised to significantly weaken enforcement of its flagship methane #regulation, granting fossil fuel companies the freedom to pollute with a focus on protecting the continent’s energy security, according to a draft document seen by POLITICO.

The following is an edited transcript of Mr. Sadki’s remarks. Living with #Artificial_Intelligence Moderator: You have just seen some of these really incredible changemaker ideas and so what skills and mindsets stood out to you and how do you think those can be scaled to build a workforce that is living with AI and not competing with it?

Beyond the Apocalypse - How visions of #catastrophe shape the ‘climate solutions’ imposed by aid agencies | #Amitav_Ghosh
▻https://www.equator.org/articles/beyond-the-apocalypse

This pattern, in which interventions spearheaded by foreign officials and experts end up by compounding problems on the ground, has repeated itself over and over again in coastal Bengal. Of these, none has been more destructive than the introduction of prawn and shrimp farming.

The idea that shrimp farming might be a good way for farmers to earn some extra money was first suggested by Western experts in the 1960s, and the initiative was taken up enthusiastically by USAID 20 years later. Initially intended as an income-generation plan, in recent decades shrimp farming has also been strongly advocated by experts and aid agencies as a ‘climate solution’. The thinking behind it, as explained to Dewan by a Western development professional, was this: “Climate change is a fact. [All of] #Bangladesh will become saline; it is inevitable. Bangladesh should accept this and focus on cultivating saline-tolerant species such as tiger prawn… ”

[...] But the ethnographic record makes it amply evident that the large-scale adoption of shrimp farming has caused an ecological and social disaster in the Bengal delta, blighting once-fertile land and further impoverishing the poor and landless.

[...] Irony of ironies: people who are forced out of their villages because of shrimp farming are often classified as ‘climate migrants’ by aid agencies and bureaucrats, despite the fact that their displacement is the result not of global warming itself, but rather of #climate solutions advocated by credentialed experts. In effect, this is a process, as Paprocki notes, of “anticipatory ruination”, intended to ward off the possible harms of the future by causing actual harm in the present day.

Bill Gates’ latest public memo marks a significant shift in how the world’s most influential philanthropist frames the challenge of climate change. He sees a future in which responding to climate threats and promoting well-being become two sides of the same mission, declaring, “development is adaptation.” Gates argues that the principal metric for climate action should not be global temperature or near-term emission reductions alone, but measured improvement in the lives of the world’s most vulnerable populations. He argues that the focus of climate action should be on the “greatest possible impact for the most vulnerable people.” The suffering of poor communities must take priority, since, in his view, “climate change, disease, and poverty are all major problems. We should deal with them in (...)

How the #Lancet_Countdown illuminates a new path to #climate-resilient_health_systems
▻https://redasadki.me/2025/10/29/how-the-lancet-countdown-illuminates-a-new-path-to-climate-resilient-healt

The 2025 Lancet Countdown report has begun to acknowledge a critical, often-overlooked source of intelligence to build climate-resilient health systems: the health worker. By including testimonials from health workers alongside formal quantitative evidence, the Lancet cracks open a door, hinting at a world beyond globally standardized datasets. This is a necessary first step. However, the report’s framework for action remains a traditional, top-down model. It primarily frames the health workforce as passive recipients of knowledge—a group that must be “educated and trained” because they are “unprepared”. The 2025 report confirms that climate change’s assault on human health has reached alarming new levels. Yet, within this sobering assessment lies a quiet but potentially pivotal shift. For the (...)

After the World Health Assembly’s adoption of ambitious global plan of action for climate and health, global and country stakeholders are meeting in #Brasilia for the Global Conference on Climate and Health, ahead of COP30. Three critical observations emerged that illuminate why conventional #Global_health approaches may be structurally inadequate for the challenges resulting from #climate_change impacts on health. These observations carry particular significance for #global_health leaders who now possess a WHA-approved strategy and action plan, but lack proven mechanisms for rapid, community-led implementation in the face of an unprecedented set of challenges. They also matter for major funders whose substantial investments in policy and research have yet to be matched by commensurate (...)
