Japan landslide: 20 people missing in Atami city

An emergency taskforce arrives in the area around Atami, which has seen heavy rain.

www.bbc.com

Video on social media showed a torrent of black mud plummeting down from a mountain top and on through the city towards the sea.
Several houses were destroyed or buried.
Kyodo news agency reports that the bodies of what appear to be two victims have been found in the port district.
A witness described a "horrible sound" before he fled to higher ground.

Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has put together a task force to respond to the disaster and the wider emergency caused by heavy rainfall on the Pacific coastline.

Atami, a popular hot-spring resort in the prefecture of Shizuoka, has had more rainfall in the first three days of July than it usually sees in the whole month. The weather has been similar in neighbouring Kanagawa prefecture.

Japan is a very mountainous and densely populated country and landslides are not unusual, says the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, in Tokyo.

But there is growing evidence that climate change is making these sorts of extreme weather events more frequent and more destructive, our correspondent adds.

The heat killed dozens of Quebecs

Over the past five years, half of those who have died from…

www.moviesonline.ca

Of the 166 heat-related deaths, 75 occurred outside Montreal. Three-quarters (125) of the deaths occurred in the summer of 2018, including 117 related to the July heat wave. On July 4 and 5, 2018 alone, 44 people died. The 2019 and 2020 heat waves meanwhile killed 17 and 21 people, respectively.

And there are more and more heatwaves, imagine if the temperature increases by a few degrees, how many deaths would we have?

No, tere is no climate change.

Talk to the people of Litton, it was 49.5 degrees. I know it was in British Columbia, it's an example.

Record Brazilian drought causes coffee prices to spike to highest level in years.

Brazil produces one-third of the world's coffee — and this year's crop has been damaged by dry weather.

A once-in-a-century drought in Brazil has walloped the world's largest coffee crop, pushing up wholesale prices to their highest level in years.

The going rate for prized arabica beans was almost $1.70 US a pound at one point this week. That's almost 60 per cent higher than it was last summer.

Abnormally dry conditions late in the growing season in Brazil are the main culprit, as Brazil typically produces about one-third of the world's supply of coffee beans.

Sweltering June breaks heat records in North America

The month of June was the hottest on record in North America, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

In 127 years of record-keeping, the United States was never this hot in June.
Blistering and record-setting heat waves on both the West Coast and the East Coast made last month the hottest June in U.S. history, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Another extreme heat wave in the West threatens all-time highs

For the third time since the beginning of June, a life-threatening heat wave is underway in the western U.S.

www.cbsnews.com

This latest heat wave comes on the heels of the hottest June on record for the United States.

A new study published Wednesday shows the Pacific Northwest heat wave from June 27 to June 29 was made at least 150 times more likely by human-caused climate change and, even in today's heated climate, is a rare 1-in-1,000-year event.

The study, by a collaboration of 27 climate scientists, warned that if we keep warming the climate, extreme heat waves like that will happen once every 5 to 10 years by mid-century.

California wildfire advances as heat wave blankets U.S. West

Firefighters struggled to contain an exploding Northern California wildfire under blazing temperatures as another heat wave hits the U.S. West this weekend, prompting an excessive heat warning for inland and desert areas.

On Friday, Death Valley National Park in California recorded a staggering high of 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 Celsius) and could reach the same high on Saturday.

If we don't act, the climate will destroy the planet.

How Warming Winters Are Affecting Everything

Winters are warming faster than summers in many places, and colder parts of the U.S. are warming faster than hotter ones. The warming winter climate has year-round consequences across the country.

More words without verification. Numbers never lie.

You take these climate changes as not significant, but it's the exact opposite. Since these changes take decades, it doesn't seem to matter. Without a controlled climate the earth is heading for disaster.

You are like people who don't care and you say to yourself, I'm going to be dead for a long time.

Shutttt ! it's a secret. TV, radio, social media don't talk about it, so we should keep it quiet alright ? So don't talk about climate change to me ok ?
Yes, all this wild fires, floods, dryness is caused buy my car,? so mind as well burn it down ok ?
J'en ai marre d'entendre parler du changement climatique tout le temps. C'est qui qui a creé cela ? dis sa aux politiciens, ils disent que c'est ta voiture ki pollue et on doit te taxer au maximum sur l'essence pour ke tu ne prennes pas ta voiture pour aller travailler !
ce qu'ils ne te disent pas (même les scientifiques qui sont baillonnés) c'est leur machine de querre! combien de CO2 chanque char de combat émettent ? quaque bombe qu'ils font exploser? les avoins de chasse? combien d'avions de combat décollent chaque jour d'un porte avion? et combien de porte-avoins, navires de guerre il y en a dans ce monde?

I could not, not comment after having read this text so irrational.

The more you say to stop talking about it, the more I'm going to talk about it.

I agree with you that these climate changes are due to industrialization.

You surely have no children or small children because they are aware of these phenomena.

If you're tired of hearing about it, change planet.

If we do nothing, hundreds of years from now, life on earth will no longer be viable.

Climate change affects global temperature and precipitation patterns.
These effects, in turn, influence the intensity and, in some cases, the frequency of extreme environmental events, such as forest fires, hurricanes, heat waves, floods, droughts, and storms.

Moi perso, je maintiendrais l’État d’urgence sanitaire jusqu’à temps que toutes les questions à propos des changements climatiques soient réglées définitivement.
Après tout, on se sent tellement bien et en sécurité depuis que notre majesté a instaurée l’État d’urgence sanitaire, on ne saurait plus comment s’en passer maintenant.

Ok, on va garder l’État d’urgence sanitaire, vitam eternam.

Disons que c’est davantage de la satire que de l’humour et que nos idéos sont à l’opposé complètement donc j’ai vraiment l’impression que c’est plus mon idée satirique que mon humour dont tu raffoles.

How can climate change affect natural disasters? | U.S. Geological Survey

With increasing global surface temperatures the possibility of more droughts and increased intensity of storms will likely occur. As more water vapor is evaporated into the atmosphere it becomes fuel for more powerful storms to develop. More heat in the atmosphere and warmer ocean surface...

What are the long-term effects of climate change?

Scientists have predicted that long-term effects of climate change will include a decrease in sea ice and an increase in permafrost thawing, an increase in heat waves and heavy precipitation, and decreased water resources in semi-arid regions.
Below are some of the regional impacts of global change forecast by the Intergovernmental Panel on.

Climatoseptic:
Climate change denial, or global warming denial, is denial, dismissal, or unwarranted doubt that contradicts the scientific consensus on climate change, including the extent to which it is caused by humans, its effects on nature and human society, or the potential of adaptation to global warming by human actions.

Many who deny, dismiss, or hold unwarranted doubt about the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming self-label as "climate change skeptics", which several scientists have noted is an inaccurate description.
Climate change denial can also be implicit when individuals or social groups accept the science but fail to come to terms with it or to translate their acceptance into action.

'It's terrifying': Merkel shaken as flood deaths rise to 188 in Europe

German Chancellor Angela Merkel described the flooding that has devastated parts of Europe as "terrifying" on Sunday after the death toll across the region rose to 188 and a district of Bavaria was battered by the extreme weather.

www.reuters.com

Germany, July 18 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel described the flooding that has devastated parts of Europe as "terrifying" on Sunday after the death toll across the region rose to 188 and a district of Bavaria was battered by the extreme weather.

Merkel promised swift financial aid after visiting one of the areas worst affected by the record rainfall and floods that have killed at least 157 in Germany alone in recent days, in the country's worst natural disaster in almost six decades.

She also said governments would have to get better and faster in their efforts to tackle the impact of climate change only days after Europe outlined a package of steps towards "net zero" emissions by the middle of the century.
