#Hittegolf wordt waarschijnlijk geprolongeerd na het weekend waarbij het nog warmer wordt! Pikken we dit mee! slaperige media in dit land! Tja over vijf dagen wordt dit alles genoemd he bij een #NOS bijvoorbeeld. Hier week bekend! Prachtige exegese ook op weerprimeurlijn.

Bon, là, la situation est critique : les 40°C ne semblent plus être une barrière dès jeudi. On voit beaucoup plus large, beaucoup plus haut. Le potentiel d'une vague de chaleur historique (encore !) en juin dépassant les records tout mois confondus n'est plus une fiction. Chaque canicule ne fait désormais que détrôner la précédente dans la course aux températures les plus élevées. J’espère sincèrement que les modèles de prévision vont rapidement revoir leur copie et se limiter à du 38-40°C sur une durée plus courte, car sinon les conséquences pourraient être considérables. Les valeurs envisagées me paraissent tellement irréelles que je préfère attendre jeudi avant d’en détailler les impacts agricoles et les adaptations qui pourraient devenir nécessaires. Pour l’instant, je préfère rester prudent. Carte : meteologix.

„Völlig verrückt": Antarktis verzeichnet Rekordtemperaturen im Winter In der Antarktis wurden am 6. Juni Temperaturen von bis zu 15,4 Grad Celsius gemessen. Die Daten stammen von der argentinischen Esperanza-Station auf der Trinity-Halbinsel. Der neue Höchstwert fällt in eine länger anhaltende Wärmephase. Über drei Wochen hinweg lagen die Tageshöchsttemperaturen durchgehend über dem Gefrierpunkt.

Take the difference in temperature for each day, January 1, 1950 through June 13, 2026, from the exact same day 10 years earlier, to get a "daily decadal temperature difference." Graph those points with a linear trendline. The current rate of warming is about 0.32°C per decade.

Avec plus de cinquante ans de passion pour la météorologie et une carrière de météorologue prévisionniste et spécialisé dans les événements climatiques extrêmes (meteo-villes.com/chronique), je peux affirmer, en toute objectivité, que la vague de chaleur attendue en France dans les prochains jours suscite une réelle inquiétude. Son intensité, sa durée potentiellement remarquable et le fait qu’elle survienne après un premier épisode caniculaire, avant même le début officiel de l’été, en font un événement à surveiller de très près.

Nederlandse stallen verdwijnen door stikstofbeleid naar Polen en Zweden. Voedselzekerheid boeit niet. Dat er in Nederland ook wat verdient moet worden om zorg, onderwijs en defensie te betalen, boeit ook niet. Als je regering in sprookjes gelooft: nieuwrechts.nl/111408-nederl…

Eén van de belangrijkste redenen voor Hans van Mierlo en Hans Gruijters om D66 op te richten: dat er na de val van het kabinet-Marijnen (1965) geen nieuwe verkiezingen waren gekomen, maar een nieuwe formatie. Wie vertelt het D66-prominent Thom de Graaf? #buitenhof

BREAKING: The Netherlands just told its citizens to go to hell. 36% tax on unrealized gains. Approved. You didn't sell anything. You didn't make a single euro in cash. Your portfolio went up on paper. The government sends you a bill anyway. 61,000 citizens petitioned against it. Parliament approved it anyway. No cash to pay the tax? Not their problem. Asset crashes after you paid? Not their problem. This is not tax policy. This is the government treating your paper gains as their income. Before you've made a single euro. The most talented Dutch investors are already leaving. Capital goes where it is treated best. 2028 is coming. Plan accordingly.

One of the most ominous risks for Europe is that of a major change in Atlantic ocean currents. Recent science suggests it has been greatly underestimated in the past -including by me, having worked on it for over 30 years. Here my half-hour presentation in Vilnius a week ago!

For those suffering from amnesia: just four months ago, the Islamic regime in Iran slaughtered over 40,000 people in only two days, for the sole ‘crime’ of protesting for freedom.

Her name is Luana Zaratti, an Italian bus ticket inspector. She was 26 when, during one of her shifts, she asked an illegal Egyptian immigrant for his ticket. He had none. His answer was a violent headbutt straight to her face, so hard it shattered her nasal septum and caused severe head trauma. Luana collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from her nose. That single blow destroyed her life. It left her with permanent brain damage and lifelong disability. Years bedridden, almost vegetative. But her willpower pulled her back to a shadow of the life she once had. The attacker was sentenced to just 14 months in prison, but he never served a single day. He disappeared. Luana, declared unfit to work, now survives on less than €1,000 a month.

The North Atlantic cold blob is expanding while El Niño is simultaneously getting deeper, hotter, and bigger. Latest evidence confirms a huge expansion of the cold blob , exactly the signal of accelerating AMOC weakening. This is the “embolism” I’ve been talking about: the warm current that keeps the northern hemisphere mild is being blocked by a growing cold blob. Gulf heat is being forced to divert elsewhere. Rahmstorf’s brand-new 2026 paper just confirmed it with observations: the cold blob’s multidecadal cooling is driven by reduced ocean heat transport (AMOC slowdown), not surface fluxes. Full-depth heat content is declining. But even this strong paper — and the broader science , is still too conservative. Why do I say that ? Models average freshwater melt evenly instead of the real high-velocity point-source plumes from Greenland’s fjords. They miss ice-sheet basal thresholds that can suddenly accelerate discharge. They don’t capture the full industrial-biology loop: open-loop scrubbers deoxygenation phytoplankton shifts → then clearer water then deeper solar heat penetration then faster melt then more freshwater then further AMOC slowdown (plus lost DMS for clouds and potential N₂O hotspots). The system is nonlinear and coupled. The tipping point risk is a lot closer than everyone thinks , possibly right now. I’ve been yelling that our prediction science and risk standards are wrong for a threshold-driven system. Models are maps, not the territory. The territory already has sharper edges and the territory , the actual climate that is unfolding right now looks significantly different to the current science models The problem we have is the science models through conditioned model orthodoxy doesn’t measure the actual risk . The IPCC models dumb the coupled tipping data down Full essay with every mechanism explained (point-source hosing, ice thresholds, phytoplankton/scrubber loops, aerosols, albedo, polar motion, better evidence standard): x.com/ctindale/status/205260… The embolism is growing in front of our eyes. Thoughts?

Non‐significant trends (90% level) are indicated by stippling. Note that even no trend in the “cold blob” region would be highly relevant when almost the whole globe is warming.

Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier' collapse may be worse than we thought If it destabilises, it could trigger a wider collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet, raising sea levels by up to 5 metres Scientists believe we may be approaching a tipping point that could completely redraw the world’s coastlines newscientist.com/video/25290…
