Let me try to convey how bizarre, absurd, out-of-range, and worrying this ongoing deluge in southern Spain is.
January 2026: wettest month ever recorded in Grazalema, 5 times normal rainfall.
February 2026: already the new wettest month ever after just 11 days, 6 * normal rainfall for the entire month.

The world is closer than thought to a “point of no return” after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped.
Policymakers and the public remain largely unaware of the risks posed by what would effectively be a point-of-no-return transition.

The devastating news on Grazalema - definitely climate change at work - hits home hard because we once camped outside the town with our kids. In the evening we visited the Plaza, and it was the most lively community you can think of, everyone chatting, having a drink, playing, and enjoying life.

Aerial footage of the destruction in Madagascar after cyclone Gezani. It won't leave you unaffected.
Thank you, @barijaona for sharing! I hope you and your people are ok...

Premier bilan après le passage du cyclone Gezani à Madagascar : au moins 20 morts.
Les images sont impressionnantes. Je vous laisse essayer d'estimer le nombre de sans-abris.

The global economy must be radically transformed to stop it rewarding pollution and waste, UN secretary general António Guterres has warned.
We must place true value on the environment and go beyond GDP as a measure of human progress and wellbeing.

As climate disasters drive up the price of home insurance, three US states are considering empowering their state prosecutors to sue major polluters for their role in those rising costs.
We know that the years ahead are going to be dramatically more dangerous, tragically, when it comes to climate disasters, and we can’t allow our residents, our small businesses, to be left holding the bag.

As the world speeds towards 2C of global heating, the risks of extreme weather disasters and climate tipping points are increasing fast. But current economic models used by governments and financial institutions entirely miss such shocks. This is because the models assume the future will behave like the past, despite the burning of fossil fuels pushing the climate system into uncharted territory.

This is absolutely devastating news.
Slapton Sands, and the road that runs (ran) along its length, known as Slapton Line are a magnificent part of the South Devon coastline.
The Line separates the sea from Slapton Ley, a freshwater nature reserve.
Torcross, at the western end of the sands, is a bustling little hamlet with a pub that is popular with locals and tourists alike, and which serves some of the best fish and chips in England.
It looks like this is now all going to be lost.
Devastating.

Fossil fuel companies could be forced to pay some of the price of their damage to the climate, and the ultra-rich subjected to a global wealth tax, if new tax rules are agreed under the UN.

I welcome the news that these properties will be bought and demolished by the local council for the sake of the residents who live in constant fear of flooding. It is the most pragmatic solution.
But how viable will this approach be as the numbers of homes that cannot realistically be saved from flooding escalates in the near future?
