Lake Mead is sitting at 1,040.85 ft as of Aug 3, 2026 — just 0.27 ft above its all-time record low set in July 2022.

That's 26.9% of capacity, down 13.3 ft over the past year. The Bureau of Reclamation's July 2026 study projects the lake could keep sliding toward 1,037 ft this fall. Boaters are being warned of newly exposed hazards as the water retreats.

The Colorado River basin's water crisis isn't easing up.

“The living world cannot be cared for well by men who have cut themselves off from feeling.”

When men are trained to conquer their own sensitivity, it becomes easier to conquer forests, rivers, women, children and animals – and to treat the future with contempt.

When sensitivity is severed, relationship with life is severed too

UK - Vegetables to get smaller and more expensive due to hot weather, farmers warn

by Alex Daniel and Esme Stallard, 5 August, 2026

"This year's harvest could be the worst on record as farmers warn the exceptionally dry spring and summer could lead to 'shrinkflation' in UK supermarkets.
England and Wales saw their driest July since records began 190 years ago, according to the Met Office, and a drought has been declared across large parts of the country.

"The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) thinktank said the UK's cereals and oilseed harvest could be 2.5 million tonnes less than ​earlier forecasts.

"Tim O'Malley, the chairman of Nationwide produce, said it was "as bad as its ever been" and that shoppers will likely see higher prices or smaller vegetables in supermarkets.

"The harvest of barley, oats and rapeseed, which are used in beer, breakfast cereals and vegetable oil, is estimated to drop to just 19.5 million tonnes, the worst since records began in 1984.

"That is compared with a previous low of 19.8 million tonnes in 2020, and would cost farmers £390m in lost revenue, the ECIU estimated.

"The crops are also used for feeding livestock, making them crucial across most of the food chain.

"O'Malley said consumers could feel the impact in the vegetable aisle too, where grocers are likely to swap in smaller produce at the same price, which is known as shrinkflation."

Figure SPM.1: (c) Observed (1900–2020) and projected (2021–2100) changes in global surface temperature (relative to 1850–1900), which are linked to changes in climate conditions and impacts, illustrate how the climate has already changed and will change along the lifespan of three representative generations (born in 1950, 1980 and 2020). Future projections (2021–2100) of changes in global surface temperature are shown for very low (SSP1-1.9), low (SSP1-2.6), intermediate (SSP2-4.5), high (SSP3-7.0) and very high (SSP5-8.5) GHG emissions scenarios. Changes in annual global surface temperatures are presented as ‘climate stripes’, with future projections showing the human-caused long-term trends and continuing modulation by natural variability (represented here using observed levels of past natural variability). Colours on the generational icons correspond to the global surface temperature stripes for each year, with segments on future icons differentiating possible future experiences.

1/ As I received this news today here in British Columbia, the wildfire smoke blankets the sky, our eyes are burning and our kid is complaining of a sore throat from it. And we’re the lucky ones. Over the weekend, more than 5,000 British Columbians had to flee their homes in 24 hours, under evacuation from just two of the approximately 130 wildfires currently engulfing the province.

2/ What is our government doing? This project defies common sense - this is corporate welfare on a surreal scale, giving a gift to an industry making $90 billion in excess profits this year, and which still refuses to pay for its own infrastructure. It makes a mockery of the duty to consult First Nations, guaranteed under our constitution. You can’t approve a project and then engage in consultation: that is just a pipeline to the courts.

more water shortages at nuclear plants.

Until they use little to no fresh water for cooling, current plants are not a realistic solution to the fossil fuel transition and building new is ludicrous when renewables, even with battery systems, are orders of magnitude cheaper and less environmentally needy.

Almost inconceivable! Never in my life would I have imagined glaciers melting, giant chunks of Artic and North Pole glaciers calving at so many places, nor frozen tundra thawing out and dangerous release of methane gas. SciAm article from today.

“The Arctic is cooking. Across northern Russia—a region that is famously bitterly cold—temperatures this week have routinely surpassed 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2 degrees Celsius), adding to the mountain of broken heat records this summer has racked up so far.

In recent days, the Selagoncy meteorological station, near the border of the Arctic Circle, recorded 93.0 degrees F (33.9 degrees C); another station, Olenyok, logged 90.9 degrees F (32.7 degrees C), according to data collected by weather information service Ogimet and reported by climatologist Maximiliano Herrera. To put that in perspective, these temperatures are on par for Orlando, Fla., at this time of year.”

This area is warming up in general up to four times faster than the average place anywhere else in the world.

Hochkalter mit Blaueis for #MountainMonday

This is the Hochkalter massif with Blaueis (German for "blue ice"), the northernmost glacier of the alps, in Bavaria, Germany.

It never was a big glacier; estimated to be ~25 hectares in 1820. Only ~5.2 hectares remained in 2018. It's surely even less nowadays. The photo is from July 2009.

Specialists attribute the increase in sargassum influxes to rising ocean temperatures, greater nutrient availability and prolonged hours of solar radiation.

By Mar Puig, UPI

Excerpt: "Specialists attribute the increase in sargassum influxes to rising ocean temperatures, greater nutrient availability and prolonged hours of solar radiation.

"According to La Nación, which cited Brian Barnes, an assistant research professor in the University of South Florida College of Marine Science in St. Petersburg, those factors have fueled the accelerated growth of the #macroalgae in the tropical Atlantic. "

Down this street before
But the sun, I fear,
Had not this orange glow before

All at once I sneeze
"Gah! No mask," I sneeze
Knowing I'm
On the street
Where I live

Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town
Are they all ablaze
Yes all are swiftly burning down

Once again I sneeze
In a dirty breeze
Oh, yay, I'm
On the street
Where I live... 🎶

The Dragon of #ClimateChange

"There once was a terrible dragon
Whose name was climate change
He slept atop a mountain
As he'd done for an age

'Til the king made the poor
mine the mount for gold
The dragon gave a scary roar
And out of bed he rolled

Lo! The dragon of climate change hath come
But slay the beast named greed and that dragon will be done

The king lied to the peasants
He blamed the dragon on them
And sold them pointless weapons
So he could casheth in

But when flames razed the town
The folk saw through his scheme
'tis a wood house the dragon burns
But not your stone keep

Lo! The dragon of climate change hath come
But slay the beast named greed and the dragon will be done

The king summoned a mage
He said would end this chapter
He promised a spell called
Direct Air Carbon Capture

It could keep the dragon away
While the gold forever grew
But soon they found out the mage
Was just the king's court fool

Lo! The dragon of climate change hath come but
But slay the beast named greed and the dragon will be done

The people marched from town
On horse the king fled
The dragon saw his shiny crown
And barbecued his head

Folk shared the kingdom's riches
So they had all they need
The dragon's home was left alone
So he could get some sleep

Lo! The dragon of climate change was done.
But beware the beast named #greed or he won't gone for long"
