Yesterday I went to help at the clean-up at Manor Fields Park following the fire on August 13th. It’s one of my favourite local spots for a walk, looking out for herons, other birds and waterfowl, butterflies, insects and wildflowers. So it was depressing to see nearly half the park completely scorched black, trees burnt dead, and just a few brave, resilient plants left standing. But it was uplifting to join with about one hundred volunteers, organised by Green Estate, to help start to put things right. On the ground were incinerated blackberries and calcified snail shells, sometimes indistinguishable from white plastic bottle tops. Litter that was previously covered in vegetation was now easy to find, including tyres, car parts, bottles and cans, crisp packets, and unidentifiable miscellaneous bits. So we set forth with litter pickers, and after just an hour, the lorry was jammed full of rubbish. Many thanks to everyone who turned out to help and to the organisers from Green Estate.
So what caused the fire? Apparently, there is no evidence that it was arson, although not far away, I am aware of many deliberate attempts to burn Skye Edge, endangering nearby houses and allotments, and of course, our fantastic fire service. So maybe the fire was caused by a discarded bottle, the sun’s rays being magnified to create enough heat to ignite the grass. But what is certain is that our extremely hot, dry summer made the conditions ideal for the fire to spread quickly, posing a very difficult challenge for the fire service. Throughout the world, wildfires are happening more frequently as the planet continues to heat up as a direct result of our carbon emissions.
As I write, the rain is hammering on my bay window. When it rained for the first time in many weeks, I was very happy- it reminded me of my time in Uganda, when our water tank ran dry in the drought. When it eventually rained, we put every container outside to collect as much water as we possibly could! Maybe this is the end of our hot summer, but perhaps the hot conditions will return. Next year is already forecast to be an even hotter summer, due to the record-breaking El Niño. So we need to be prepared for these extreme conditions.

To stop fires, we need to report people behaving in a way that might start one. Whether it’s fireworks, barbeques, carelessly discarding a cigarette, or simply playing with matches, this behaviour in hot, dry conditions puts lives at risk and must be stopped. You can ring Firestoppers anonymously on 0800 1695558. Add this number to your contacts so you have it when you need it.
Your local park or green space may have a Friends of group. Get in touch with them and help with litter picks and improving the park. Friends of Manor Fields Park is here. Picking up one glass bottle may prevent the disaster Manor Fields just suffered.
I’ve heard some blame rewilding for the fires, but aerial photographs show that areas that have been rewilded, letting streams take their natural course, have remained green throughout the drought, whereas fields of short grass, such as at Arbourthorne Park, have caught fire. Read more about this here.
The fire service has done a magnificent job this summer, but they were not able to stop houses from being ruined at Foxhill. As the planet heats up, the fire service needs more personnel and better resources. They can’t be everywhere at once, and at some points this summer, fires were blazing all over the city. So the Government must fund them properly, put a stop to any idea of more drilling for more oil and gas, and tackle the climate emergency by putting the country on a war footing to reduce our carbon emissions.

A confronting truth.
The gargantuan lie that “we have more time when it comes to climate change" puts BILLIONS of lives in peril.
The truth is that the oil industry is propelling us rapidly towards a virtually uninhabitable planet while making record profits.
For us to have a future, the oil industry can have no future.
We have to end their dangerous business and make them pay.
🚨 OCEAN HEAT: We are entering uncharted territory.
Record-breaking ocean temperatures are pushing ecosystems closer to dangerous tipping points. Fossil fuel corporations and big polluters are gambling with a liveable planet for profit.

"Part of Lowcewicz’s job is to figure out which plants will remain indoors and which will go outside. The climate has changed considerably since the Barbican was built in the 1960s and many indoor plants are now outdoor plants."
The country is not built for the Climate it is in, and the Government just could not care, it's view is too short term and guided by the Rich.
Good news, the future of law enforcement and government totalitarianism is coming your way soon !…… spoiler, you have it already really.….

The allotment looks more like autumn now, with colour mainly coming from dry plants, seed heads and yellow leaves on stressed trees. We had a tiny bit of rain last night, not even enough to make the plants wet, the ground is as dry and dusty as before. At least it is not as hot anymore, a small respite before the next heatwave they forecast for September. #allotment #garden #climatechange

@ProgressivePower Not untill every place is safe from wildfires, our planet is getting destroyed due to the reluctant citizens about environmental conservation.
We should stand together and fight against climate change through afforestation, agroforestry,eco farming and other nature conservation measures.

El Niño loads the dice for more extreme fire conditions
By Romy Stephens
Fears have been growing around what Australia's spring and summer will look like after the weather bureau declared an El Niño in June, which has the potential to become the strongest on record.

If you were watching the World Cup, you may have seen them too: the Liberal government’s TV ads about its climate record.
The ads boast about a clean energy future and lower emissions, while in actual fact the Carney government has dismantled climate policy and doubled down on fossil fuels. Mark Carney has even candidly admitted that these policies will increase Canada’s emissions.
When you make false environmental claims in advertising, it’s called greenwashing. And in Canada, it’s illegal.
So my NDP colleagues have filed a complaint with the Competition Bureau to open an official investigation.
If the PM wants to reverse climate action and buy the oil industry another pipeline, let’s have that debate.
But you can’t have it both ways: Canada is not currently on track for a clean energy future. We’re hurtling in the wrong direction.
@NorcalGma2 Thanks for the great work being done at your home.
Owning a home garden is so special as it will help provide organically grown healthy food.
We are also having same challenges of drought or else flooding depending on the time of the year.
On the other,I train young people and locals communities about sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation to make the earth a better place for living in.

A new study suggests that the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”
"It’s observational data from the South Atlantic which suggest the AMOC is on tipping course. Not the model simulation, which is just there to get a better understanding of which early warning signals work, and why."
Stefan Rahmstorf: https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2024/02/new-study-suggests-the-atlantic-overturning-circulation-amoc-is-on-tipping-course/ @climate
#AMOC #EWS #warningSignals #climateChange #dataViz #maps #map #Scotland #Iceland #Norway #Denmark #climate #ColdBlob #NorthSea #Atlantic
"The amount of heat transported to the north Atlantic is huge. […] It’s enough to warm the entire region by 4.5°C on average which means that I’m cutting the grass in November rather than shovelling snow. It also means the northern hemisphere is about 1.4°C warmer than the southern hemisphere and why the thermal equator is at 10°N which positions the tropical rain belts further north than they would otherwise be."
https://drtomharris.substack.com/p/amoc-weakening-declared-a-national by Tom Harris after @rahmstorf
"Without the #AMOC, the southern hemisphere warms more rapidly as heat is not passing through to the north. This lowers the thermal equator and takes the rain belts with them. Areas used to significant rainfall such as the northern part of the Amazon and southern Asia would see significant less rain fall affecting the crop growing potential for billions of people."
"Emissions reduction is the only way of delaying or potentially preventing AMOC collapse."
Thermohaline circulation of the oceans involves the flow of warm surface waters from the southern hemisphere into the North Atlantic. Salinity increases as water flows northward and undergoes evaporation, mixing with other water masses. If too much rainfall and ice melting, then not enough water cools and sinks through convection in the North Atlantic, which disrupts sea levels along the US East coast.
Such weakening has a 51% chance to happen: https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adx4298
We find that cold blobs significantly increase heat wave duration and magnitude downstream over the European continent. Our results highlight the relevance of the subpolar North Atlantic region for European summer conditions, a region that is marked by large biases in current coupled climate model simulations.

"The melting of land and sea ice are expected to increase over the coming decades, resulting in an enhanced freshwater discharge into the Northern Atlantic. With stronger freshwater anomalies, our results indicate an increase in the risk of warm, dry European summers and of heat waves and droughts accordingly".

"Our storyline simulations reveal an additional risk: worst-case heatwaves occur predominantly after another extreme heatwave.
[…]
"Given the scale, intensity, and unprecedented successive and compounding nature of these worst-case heat storylines, we underscore the urgent need for well-informed adaptation strategies that sufficiently reflect these risks."

https://www.thetimes.com/uk/environment/article/farmers-heatwave-causes-harvests-to-fail-f8f93n538
"Our synthesis suggests that the AMOC strength acts as a ‘heat valve’ that alters planetary temperature by changing the radiative balance. This implies amplified planetary heat uptake in response to projected future AMOC weakening."

Widespread Landslide Activity in an Extreme Wet Season and Implications for Regional Sediment Management, Eastern San Francisco Bay Area, California
--
https://doi.org/10.1029/2026EA005227 <-- shared paper
--
H/T @amy East, Ph.D., P.G. | Researcher integrating geoscience and climate-change preparedness
“[This paper (link above) is] a collaboration with [the H/T’s] colleagues from [the] USGS Landslide Hazards Program, who mapped over 8,900 landslides in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area during an extreme wet winter.
How much sediment does such an extreme winter produce, from landslides or in stream discharge? How does that compare with long-term sediment production and landscape denudation rates?
[They] f[o]nd that landslide sediment mobilization is comparable to long-term denudation rates, emphasizing the role of extreme events in long-term sediment production. However, one extreme wet year has a negligible effect toward counteracting ongoing problems of sediment deficit in San Francisco Bay: to keep pace with sea-level rise, extreme wet conditions would need to occur in 50 out of the next 75 years…”

"PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Watersheds will likely produce more sediment in a warmer future with more extreme rain, primarily through landslides in steep terrain. This study examines how an extremely wet season affected sediment production and transport in the eastern San Francisco Bay area, California. By mapping and measuring 8,928 landslides, [they] found that rare, extreme rain conditions are likely responsible for the vast majority of long-term hillslope erosion rates in this region. However, due to long residence times for sediment on hillslopes and in stream channels, a maximum of 1%–2% of that newly mobilized landslide material could have potentially contributed to sediment carried by streams into the Bay that year. Even extremely wet years cannot provide enough sediment for Bay wetlands and shorelines to keep pace with rising sea levels. To meet the demand for sediment in the Bay, such extreme rain and sediment production would need to occur in most years, which is not realistic. To restore wetlands and protect shorelines, managers likely will need to supplement the coastal system with repurposed dredged material…”

For those of us on the Fahrenheit system, that's 129.2 F! Yikes!!!
Just watching the same people who have ignored Covid for years now being surprised at how other people can ignore the obviousness of Climate Change.
Climate Change 2:
People treating this summer's heatwaves as anomalous have their heads buried in (hot) sand;
Those declaring there is nothing we can now do to change course, having previously denied climate change at all, must be ignored
With political will we *can* engineer a Green Transition; we have the technologies, we can find the money, but what we lack is a political class who will show sustained climate leadership!
