"... The new study estimated that at current rates, humans will burn enough fossil fuels and release enough climate pollution to commit the planet to over 1.5°C of global warming above preindustrial temperatures within about three more years, in 2028...."
Yale Climate Connections: limate change is accelerating, scientists find in ‘grim’ report
They warn that humanity is just three years from overshooting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target, with seas rising faster than ever. But the report also contains a little bit of good news.

According to latest data the AMOC slowdown/shutdown is expected till 2050 with ~59% probability.
I expect that much earlier. 10 years are really optimistic methinks. Let's see, what the effects will look like.

“The prolonged Nordic #heatwave in July was supercharged by the climate crisis and shows “no country is safe from #ClimateChange”, scientists say.
#Norway, #Sweden and #Finland have historically cool climates but were hit by soaring temperatures, including a record run of 22 days above 30C (86C) in Finland. Sweden endured 10 straight days of “tropical nights”, when temperatures did not fall below 20C (68F).”
Norway #Oil, #gas exports and high temperatures.

What lets you travel freely across 29 different European countries?
It’s Schengen, of course! So, you’re free to live your best European Summer!
Schengen is one of the world’s largest zones of free movement. It has reshaped how over 450 million Europeans live, work, and travel.
It’s a symbol of freedom, collaboration, and opportunity, turning the promise of Europe into an everyday reality!
Wherever you are in Europe, we hope you’re having a great summer.

Setting aside the oxymoron of an "environmentally sustainable airline", is there anything more unsustainable in aviation than an "All You Can Fly" deal?
Some things I don't know and would like to know:
1. What is the life expectancy of current generation photovoltaic #solarpower panels?
2. What is the physical process which causes degradation?
3. At the end of economic life, could they be refurbished for reuse, and if not, why not?
4. If they cannot be refurbished, what proportion of the components can be recycled?

Reuters: COPENHAGEN/BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Around 2,300 people died of heat-related causes across 12 European cities during the severe heatwave that ended last week, according to a rapid scientific analysis published on Wednesday.
The study targeted the 10 days, ending July 2, during which large parts of Western Europe were hit by extreme heat, with temperatures breaching 40 degrees Celsius (104°F) in Spain and wildfires breaking out in France.
