Floods 9 Oct 2026:
- Hurricane #Isaías barrelling towards Panhandle
- damage in Newport Beach, Long Beach, CA
- mud flood in Chile
Droughts, floods, storms are getting stronger as we enter 1.5C warmer world. We leave a future of decline, suffering and regret if we don’t act now!
Floods worldwide!
500,000 Thai directly affected by Bangkok’s inundation. Nor'easter storm with severe flooding in US. Southern France warning of 400mm rain today.
We live in 1.5C warmer world with all predicted consequences.
Sane, scientifically-minded people - work together.
Biggest wildfire in history of the state North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. 2,000 evacuated. Flames 150m from residential area. Health hazard. Adds more CO2 to atmosphere. #ClimateChange has worsened drought conditions for fires. #ActOnClimateNow to avoid far worse consequences.
Flooding in Japan. 3 times average August rain in a single day. 8 dead. Unprecedented. 230k evacuated. 1000s stranded at airport, rail stations. Great damages. #ClimateChange amplifies extreme precipitation. We must act now! Ban fossil-fuel lobbying. Ban oil & gas exploration.

Catastrophic flash flooding due to storms in Indiana. 800k without power. Evacuations. Unprecedented event. #ClimateChange is amplifying weather extremes. Economic impact, shortages, suffering will multiply over next decades. Humanity must act urgently for a liveable future!
World’s non-polar oceans hit record-high July temperatures. Western Europe experiences hottest ever June and July. Soil moisture levels across Western Europe low, even worse than 2022 drought. The #ClimateCrisis is becoming an economic and existential threat. Act now!
For the first time, a wildfire causes Spain to declare a national emergency. Several fires have combined to form one front near Madrid. Meanwhile ~70,000 evacuation from out-of-control fires in France. Scientists have linked events to #climatechange.
#DemandClimateActionNow
I ask the #ClimateChange deniers - when have you last experienced record breaking heat & drought across the globe, this scale of flash flooding, mudslides, haze from extreme wildfires all at the same time?
I ask good Americans! #FightClimateChange #DemandScienceNow
#DumpTrump
#JapanHeatwave under way with cruelly hot 40C temps. #ClimateChange amplifying extremes.
- Aging population vulnerable to heat stroke
- “kokushobi” - brutally hot days - becoming more frequent
- Rice crops threatened
People of Japan! Demand climate action now!
Severe storm hits Chile. Year’s worth of rain in one day. Mudslides. Floods. Towns cut off. Evacuations. 10 dead. More rain incoming. #ChileFlood
Caused by El Niño but also #ClimateChange means 1 in 50 year event now occurs once in 10 years.
Chileans! #DemandClimateAction

The south street seaport flooded in Manhattan today. My old neighborhood. The city spent millions building a seawall for storm surges and sea level rise. BUT warmer climate means NYC is now a humid subtropical zone, with heavier rain. The flooding is from inside the wall. – at Manhattan, NY
Warnings from decades ago are becoming true: We’re now at ~1.5C warming. More weather extremes. Millions suffer. Floods, mudslides, stronger storms, droughts, heat, downpours. 1/100 year events now common occurrence.
At 2C, millions will die.
Americans, #DemandClimateAction!
Low-elevation clouds (<2km) - cooling. High-elevation clouds (>6km) - warming.
There are many dangerous tipping points and interactions in the climate system. We should stop messing with the atmosphere so much lest human civilisation goes extinct too soon. #ListenToTheScience
100 million Americans on #flashflood alert in Northeast USA. Travel chaos in NYC, Ohio, Maryland, NJ. Great damages to infrastructure, private stores and homes. #ClimateChange makes flash floods ever more intense and more frequent. Soon uninsurable. #ListenToTheScience
UNEPAR6 proposed peak emissions mid-2020s. Alas, they’re still rising! Large parts of South American & Asian tropical forests have turned from CO2 sinks to sources. Wildfires, tundra thaw now add gases.
Politics must become global, scientific, and less greedy, or else…
Act now!
#Oregon sees 50+ wildfires. Unusually strong, intensified by #ClimateChange. #HoagFire destroys homes. Air quality very unhealthy in large parts of state. Evacuations. More CO2 released. Wildlife suffers. Old forests threatened. State budget strained.
Demand action on climate!
#ClimateChange in #Texas: Highest flash flood warnings in Hill Country. Warmer air hold more moisture intensifying downpours. At least 2 dead.
Intensity of flooding on the rise worldwide due to human-caused CO2 emissions. We must come together. Texans! #DemandClimateAction!
Wildfire in Scotland Cairngorms national park. 3rd day, 300 hectares burnt. Healthy, beautiful nature turned health hazard. #ClimateChange has amplified hot and dry pre-conditions for fire. Act decisively on climate now, or extremes will spiral out of control beyond adaptability.
- Orange-tinted, smoke fills skies in Toronto, New York, Chicago, Duluth. Hundreds of wildfires.
- Bangladesh flash floods kill at least 51.
- Rhine drying up threatening German industry.
Increasing intensity of extreme weather due to human-caused #ClimateChange. We must act!
