The wildfires tearing through northern Algeria show exactly what a warming world looks like. Emergency crews have brought 127 of the 146 wildfires reported in the past 24 hours under control, but 19 blazes are still burning across the country's northern provinces. Forests, farmland, olive groves and palm plantations have been reduced to ash, while small-scale farmers have suffered devastating losses, with entire herds of sheep and goats killed by the fast-moving flames. This is what climate change looks like on the ground: longer heatwaves, drier landscapes and wildfires that burn hotter, spread faster and cause greater destruction.

“Everyone in the fire brigade is feeling the exhaustion.” With wildfires and drought ravaging the UK, James Rodgers shared his experiences as a firefighter in London at a press conference alongside Green party leader Zack Polanski on Wednesday. After Rodgers' speech, Polanski urged Andy Burnham to draw up a “robust wildfire prevention strategy” and create “a fire service with the resources it needs to tackle blazes”. “This should be funded by taxing the fossil fuel giants who are profiting from fuelling these infernos,” Polanski said.

😳 Europe is burning again as wildfires spread to new regions. One of the most serious fires is currently raging in Croatia After the area around Omiš, the flames have now reached the Zadar region. More than a thousand residents and tourists have been evacuated. Major wildfires are also continuing in Greece, Spain, and France. In some areas, residents and tourists are being evacuated as the fires destroy forests, homes, and infrastructure. Extreme heat, drought, and strong winds are making the situation even worse. Croatian authorities say the current fires are among the most severe in recent years. While some hotspots are being brought under control, new ones are already breaking out elsewhere.

Once again, Narendra Modi is off on a foreign tour. This time, his destinations are France and Slovakia. When the country is facing so many challenges, what exactly are the government's priorities? Young people are frustrated by repeated paper leak scandals. Inflation continues to put pressure on household budgets. Discussions about water shortages and fuel-related concerns are taking place in several parts of the country. Many people feel uncertain about their future. At such a time, another overseas trip by the Prime Minister has become a subject of debate. Interestingly, only a few weeks after returning from a lengthy foreign visit, another international tour is already on the schedule. Critics argue that whenever difficult questions arise at home, the Prime Minister is often seen traveling abroad. The country's youth may be worried about their future, questions may be raised about the economy, and people may be dealing with everyday challenges, yet it appears that international engagements are receiving greater attention than these domestic concerns. In any case, the trip will go ahead. The real question is what message the Prime Minister will deliver to the world this time, and what answers he will bring back for the people of India.

Zakhiku - the ancient city in Iraq revealed by severe drought : In 2022, as the climate crisis causes water levels to plummet, riverbeds to dry and glaciers to melt, artefacts like old warships, an ancient city and human remains have emerged. This story is part of “Climate artefacts”, a miniseries telling the stories behind the people, places and objects that have been discovered due to drought and warming temperatures. Around 3800 years ago, traders in the ancient city of Zakhiku would wait for wooden beams, cut down from the forests in the mountains in north and east of Mesopotamia – spanning what is today Iraq, Kuwait and parts of Turkey, Iran and Syria to float down the Tigris River. Once the logs reached Zakhiku, they were collected and taken to storehouses. From same mountainous regions in what is present-day Türkiye and Iran, merchants transporting metals and minerals such as gold, silver, tin and copper would travel by donkey or camel to Zakhiku. To protect against bandits, they would make the difficult journey as caravans of travellers. After selling their wares in Zakhiku, merchants would cross the Tigris before continuing on to the borderlands. Zakhiku was founded around 1,800 BC by the Old Babylonian Empire that ruled Mesopotamia between the 19th and 15th centuries BC. With only water and soil in the area, Zakhiku was established to take advantage of the traffic of caravans and a flourishing trade route in the Near East, which includes the present-day Middle East, Turkey and Egypt. The trading post grew into an important commercial city in the region for about 600 years before it was hit by an earthquake and later abandoned. Zakhiku disappeared altogether in the 1980s, when – as part of the Mosul Dam project, built under the late Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein – it was flooded and submerged. Previously known as Saddam Dam, it is Iraq’s largest and most important water reservoir used for downstream irrigation. Iraq is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change, and its southern governorates, where temperatures surpass 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit) in the summer, have faced severe drought since 2019, forcing farmers to abandon their dying crops. Last December, water was released from the dam to irrigate farmland. As the water levels fell, Zakhiku emerged earlier this year in the Kurdish region of Iraq. A team of local and German archaeologists sprang into action to excavate the site, uncovering new details about the city following a brief initial excavation in 2018 that revealed a palace. "With the recent excavation the local people have become aware of Zakhiku; they visit the site … it was broadcasted on the local television … and people start knowing their history [more deeply] and they’re proud of it," says Peter Pfälzner of the University of Tübingen, Germany, an archaeologist working at the site, known as Kemune. © Al Jazeera #archaeohistories

❗️❗️❗️🇺🇸 🇨🇳🇫🇷🇯🇵🇰🇷🇬🇧 #BREAKING “Many countries — especially those affected by Iran’s attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz — will send warships together with the United States to ensure the strait remains open and secure,” Donald Trump said. 📌 “We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capabilities, but it is still easy for them to launch one or two drones, lay a mine, or fire a short-range missile along this maritime route or directly into the waters — even after the severe defeat they have suffered.” “I hope China, France, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and other countries affected by these artificial restrictions will send naval vessels to the region so that the Strait of Hormuz is no longer threatened by a regime whose power has been completely destroyed.” 📌 “In the meantime, the United States will continue intensively bombing the coastline and systematically destroying Iranian boats and vessels. One way or another, we will soon make the Strait of Hormuz open, safe, and free,” the U.S. president added.

On Last Night’s Attack on Khor Mor Gas Field in Chamchamal: While the field has been attacked through the years, this is the largest such attack. It was reportedly carried out with rockets and took more than 10 hours to extinguish the resulting fire. The rockets targeted storage tanks for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate. One LPG tank was completely destroyed by fire, and both a condensate tank and the pipeline network connecting the tanks sustained damage. The field, while located within the Kurdistan Region under PUK control, sits very close to Kirkuk - particularly near rural villages controlled by Shia militias. Two days before the attack, rumors circulated of an imminent drone attack there and Dana Gas had instructed employees to seek shelter after radar at the site was activated. The field is the largest source of natural gas powering Kurdistan’s electricity grid, supplying more than half of the region’s power. The attack caused a severe electricity crisis: daily power availability collapsed from 24 hours to just 5 hours, with blackouts affecting most areas. Additionally, 1,700 megawatts of electricity that were being exported to Iraq were also halted.

🚨 Warning! It’s happening again: A new heat dome is building.. The 5th heat dome is coming to Europe! 📈This summer is by no means normal.. 2026 is revealing an uncertain and dangerous future ahead.. ⚠️Make no mistake: these are not typical summer temperatures. It is a severe atmospheric anomaly. This wave won’t be limited to Western Europe—Central Europe and parts of Northern Europe will also run dangerously above seasonal norms. Timeline: • 9 Aug: Starts over UK & Western Europe • 11–13 Aug: Peak intensity • Late week: Expands strongly into Central Europe Country-by-country breakdown 👇 📍 West & Southwest Europe 🇪🇸 Spain: Already hit by record wildfires. 11–14 Aug: Madrid & inland → 38°C+, locally higher. Extreme fire risk returns on dry, scorched ground. 🇫🇷 France: Southwest devastated by massive wildfires. Paris & western/central France: 34–38°C midweek. 🇵🇹 Portugal: Inland areas 38–40°C+. Very high wildfire risk continues. 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: Southern England & London: 32–37°C (GFS showing possible 36–37°C peaks). Highly anomalous warmth for the UK. 📍 Central Europe 🇩🇪 Germany: Heat arrives mid-to-late week as the dome shifts east. Widespread 32–37°C expected—far exceeding typical summer averages. 🇵🇱 Poland + 🇨🇿 Czechia + 🇦🇹 Austria: Late week into the weekend: 33–37°C range possible under the expanding ridge. Central Europe will sit clearly above normal. 🇧🇪🇳🇱 Benelux & 🇨🇭 Switzerland: Pulled into the warmer pattern mid-to-late week with well-above-average values. 📍 Northern Europe & Summary 🇩🇰 Denmark + Southern Scandinavia: While not as extreme as the core, 25–30°C+ is possible in southern areas—unusually hot for the region. 📌 Overall Picture: What we are witnessing in 2026 is not standard summer heat, but a continent-wide climate anomaly. The heat dome and expanding ridge will push far-above-normal temperatures across Western, Central, and Northern Europe. 850 hPa anomalies are strengthening. Wildfire risk remains critical in devastated areas of Spain and southwest France. #HeatDome #EuropeHeatwave #WeatherAlert #ClimateEmergency #ExtremeWeather #wildfire #smoke

Firefighter James Rodgers speaking alongside Zack Polanski, on the need to address climate change "When people talk about climate change, they often talk about the year 2050. I’m a firefighter. I want to talk about now, because for firefighters, climate change isn’t a prediction, it’s a shift we’re already working. Climate change is the fire call to multiple back gardens alight, children’s clothing burning on the washing line." "Climate change is the acrid smell as you effect entry into a flat because someone has succumbed to heat stroke and hasn’t been checked on in weeks. Climate change is the sound of people in floods of tears when they’re stuck in a lift 20 floors up in 30-degree heat." "Climate change is the taste of dust in your dry mouth watching a fire sweep uncontrollably across a park you used to play football in as a child in your summer holidays. Climate change is this becoming a day-to-day reality." "This week I’ve spoken to my colleagues from all over the United Kingdom and they have said no one wants to admit it, but the heat is getting to all of us. We’re getting shorter with each other and we’re finishing jobs feeling like we’ve done a full day’s work even before lunch." "Another said, my station gets very hot inside and there isn’t a place I can find relief from the heat whilst at work. It leaves me having more headaches and brain fog, less able to do my job after 24 years in the job. Another firefighter said to me, when are we finally going to get the workwear designed for this climate?" "Everyone who works in the fire brigade is feeling the exhaustion. We expect the fires, we expect the floods, we expect the road traffic collisions. What we didn’t expect was for the extreme heat itself to become the emergency." "Not just for the public, for the people responding to it too. Climate change is rapidly changing the conditions in which every part of our job happens. Make no mistake, we will turn up. Don’t fear the sound of our sirens – it’s the sound of help on its way." "We will keep responding, we will keep adapting. The question isn’t whether us firefighters will do our job, the question is whether the rest of us are willing to do ours. The climate crisis is stretching the fire service long before it makes headlines." "And whilst the same debates continue to happen, whilst fossil fuels are exploited from the earth for the profit of the few, our jobs are getting harder, days longer, resources thinner and incidents more severe." "Major fires can start with a single spark. Every solution starts with a decision to act. Every action that cuts emissions, protects our green spaces, teaches our children to care, supports resilience or helps a vulnerable neighbour matters." "Our future isn’t decided by one big decision, but millions of small ones. And the longer we wait, the harder it becomes for communities, for governments and, yes, for firefighters too. Because the climate crisis isn’t coming." "It’s calling 999."

I have repeatedly emphasized the danger of further Russian occupation of Ukraine, because it would mean that Russia, preparing for a future war in Europe, would gain not only Ukraine’s infrastructure, but also additional mobilization potential - Ukrainians who know how to fight. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians from territories occupied by Russia have been mobilized and forced by the Russian occupation authorities to fight against their own country - Ukraine. Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, 46,327 Ukrainian citizens rom temporarily occupied territories have been mobilized into the Russian army. The overwhelming majority of them are residents of Crimea. Here is an example - the story of 26-year-old Ukrainian Pavlo Pshenychnyi: He served in the Anti-Terrorist Operation Zone (ATO), where he sustained a severe injury in 2019. After treatment, Pavlo settled in the village of Kalanchak, on the left bank of Kherson region. On 24 February 2022, the village was occupied by Russian forces. Pavlo ended up in the Russian army after being told he was facing a 12-year prison sentence. He wanted to serve the sentence, but Russians told him that his "prison" would be the army - and according to Pavlo, he had no other choice. In the summer of 2025, he was captured by Ukrainian Forces.

At Kaluku Field Headquarters, four orphans are growing up together. Each arrived here against extraordinary odds. Mwinzi was found comatose in the Amboseli dust, felled by drought before he was five months old. He revived in an hour and has been making up for lost time ever since – currently the most enthusiastic consumer of leafy branches at Kaluku by some distance. Natibu was pulled from a water pipeline manhole in Maungu, deeply traumatised by the experience. The same elephant who once trembled in his stable now launches himself into mud wallows with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever. Korbessa fell into a well at two days old. She arrived at Kaluku fast asleep – so spent from her ordeal that the team had to wake her up to board the rescue plane. She has since assumed full command of the unit. Keeper Joseph is her devoted subject. And then there is Toto – Korbessa's self-appointed big brother, a role she acknowledges only when it suits her. She is just as fond of jailbreaking him from his stable as she is of being looked after by him. Four rescues. Four extraordinary characters. All of them here because someone made the call, flew the plane, and stayed through the night. Your adoption helps fund the milk, the Keepers, and the round-the-clock care that keeps them alive. Meet Toto, Natibu, Mwinzi, and Korbessa – and adopt one of them, or all four –

🚨 / 🇫🇷 FRANCE ON FIRE After Boy Shot at Traffic Stop You’ve probably seen all the videos of buildings and cars on fire, the explosions and reported shootings in Europe’s 3rd largest economy. Some have even compared the footage to a war zone. While this is very dramatic, to say the least, it still shows the extent of the unrest in the country. But why? WHY? An officer shot and killed a 17-year-old North African boy at a traffic stop. A prosecutor has determined the need for an investigation for voluntary homicide. It was the third killing this year during a police traffic stop, after a record 13 deaths last year. Most of the victims have been black or Arab. A study by an independent French human rights watchdog found that Blacks and Arabs in France were 20x more likely to be stopped by Police. Amnesty International has been critical of French Police’s ethnic profiling and discrimination records. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? Protests kicked off 3 days ago and continue to get worse. 40,000 law enforcement personnel were deployed in response to the unrest with hundreds of arrests and counting. Fears are mounting of a repeat of the 2005 riots, also sparked by the death of African boys during a Police chase, which saw mayhem in the country and thousands arrested. While most of France agree violent protests are never ok, some are using this as an opportunity to attack migrants and religious minorities, blaming them for the violence and claiming these riots are a result of lenient immigration laws. MY THOUGHTS: First, this hits close to home. I’ve spent a LOT of time in France and speak the language fluently. France is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but they have their flaws, and we’re seeing one of them unravel yet again. We all agree the boy should not have been shot by the officer. We also agree that violent protests are NOT the answer. BUT, the problem goes deeper than this. Studies have shown systemic racism within the French police, despite denial by President Macron and France's Foreign Ministry. So, if there IS systemic issues, aren’t protests one way to force needed change? Yes and no. Protests serve an important piece of our democracy, one that should be cherished. They pressure authorities and Government officials to act. Unfortunately though, there will ALWAYS be bad actors in any protest, and these bad actors sometimes turn a peaceful protest in to a riot. When that happens, when a protest is dominated by rioters, a line is crossed. Do you agree with my take? WHEN does a protest CROSS THE LINE?

Climate change is an existential threat to civilization and humankind, according to top scientists, journalists, and policymakers. They say that planetary warming caused by human emissions is making forest fires, hurricanes, and floods more frequent, worse, and more widespread; reducing arctic ice and submerging atoll islands; killing the coral on the Great Barrier Reef; worsening heatwaves and reducing crop yields. Former President Biden said climate change is “an existential threat to all of us,” and scientists and environmentalists say “one billion” to “billions” will die from food shortages and other climate impacts. But those claims are all nonsense. Climate change is real, but there was never any scientific evidence that it posed a threat to civilization and humankind. The area of Earth on fire has declined for decades, and what determines whether there are high-intensity fires is forest management and other forms of fire protection. There is no increase in hurricane frequency or intensity, and flood deaths and damages are determined by infrastructure and emergency preparedness. Nearly 90 percent of atoll islands have either increased in size or stayed the same in recent decades. Arctic ice did not decline from 2000 to 2024 and likely will not decline in the coming years. Coral on the Great Barrier Reef is at a 36-year high. Crop yields continue to climb, even with higher temperatures, aided in part by greater carbon dioxide. And heat waves were far worse in the 1930s, before significant human emissions, cold deaths outnumber heat deaths, and heat deaths are easily avoidable with access to air conditioning. The claims that billions will die and that climate change poses an existential risk are thus misinformation and, often, given that many scientists know they are lying, intentional disinformation. The best available evidence suggests nobody will die from climate change. None of this means we should not worry about climate change and humankind’s contribution to it. The evidence that human emissions change the climate is overwhelming, and many climate skeptics simply go too far in dismissing rising temperatures and humankind’s contribution. We have good temperature measures on land and oceans. We have known for over a century that the accumulation of carbon dioxide traps heat and that it has increased by 50 percent since the pre-industrial period, and the fact that it is a small amount of Earth’s atmosphere by volume does not erase its contribution to warming. And, all else being equal, we should not want any change to average global temperatures since humankind created agricultural, urban, and environmental systems to function within today’s moderate temperature band. But scientists, journalists, and activists have so wildly overstated the claims of climate change that they must at this point be considered lies, given their discrepancy with known scientific facts and highly visible realities. Sea levels have been rising since the mid-19th Century, and there is no scientific evidence that their rise has accelerated since emissions grew significantly after World War II, and the scientists who claim otherwise are manipulating their models to show acceleration when they can just as scientifically show deceleration. Given how clear the data are on climate change’s alleged impacts, the claims to the contrary by scientists, journalists, and activists cannot be attributed to ignorance. Moreover, there is strong evidence of deliberate deception. I recently documented how a top sea level rise scientist, Robert Kopp of Rutgers, engages in deception. The leading global organization that tracks disasters abruptly and inappropriately changed its methodology after climate expert Roger Pielke, Jr. showed that they had declined from 2000 to 2021. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration gave the false impression that disasters that cost over $1 billion were increasing and then abruptly ended its “Billion-Dollar Disasters Database” after Pielke showed how it had manipulated the numbers. Because the data clearly show that climate change is not an existential threat, scientists, politicians, and journalists have misrepresented practically every aspect of the issue. Carbon emissions are largely flat over the last decade and there is simply no conceivable way that humankind will produce high enough emissions to meet the wildly high “RCP 8.5” scenario upon which most of the alarmist predictions of future climate impacts show. What’s more, scientists know this perfectly well as Pielke and other scientists have documented abundant natural gas and slower than predicted economic growth and population growth will prevent it. “RCP8.5 is not simply ‘highly unlikely’” explained Pielke recently, “it is falsified, meaning that its emissions trajectory is already well out of step with reality. We showed this conclusively” in recent studies. And yet scientists continue to use the alarmist RCP 8.5 model for the simple fact that the other models simply aren’t alarmist enough. Why have scientists, politicians, and journalists repeated false and often apocalyptic claims for so long? And how were they able to get away with it?

This guy’s vow after learning about polyester is spreading fast for good reason: “I will never let my little girl wear polyester again — and after hearing why, you might not either.” In 65 seconds he explains the process: Polyester is plastic — made from crude oil or recycled bottles, melted at high heat, extruded into threads through spinnerets, stretched, and coated with synthetic dyes, phthalates, BPA, antimony, and chemical treatments. The problem: Plastic fibers shed microplastics and nanoplastics that absorb through your skin — especially when you sweat (sports bras, activewear, leggings). These carry endocrine-disrupting chemicals linked to hormone imbalance, fertility issues, and long-term accumulation in organs, blood, and brain. His wake-up call: What you wear against your skin is absorbed by your body. Polyester clothing = wearing plastic all day. How much of your current wardrobe is polyester? Drop the percentage below — are you planning to make a change after this?
