In the initial stage of climate policy norm emergence, broad support across the EU for climate action along with persuasive think tanks, researchers, and other policy entrepreneurs helped push the ECB to endorse new climate-related norms

Worrying heat and humidity killed hundreds of cows in Iowa last month. These losses have further reduced the size of the total US cattle herd, which has dwindled to $100,000 more than 50-year low

The image, released on Wednesday, is based on data from the US monitoring service Climate change (C3S) Surface air temperature anomalies for the month of July 2023 in Europe. Scientists highlight the picture of the European continent, but note that globally there are regions where temperatures were 7 degrees Celsius higher than average for that time of year

The analysis shows that stable temperatures favour the sylvatic cycle (i.e. the circulation of the parasite in animal reservoirs), while extreme climate events (such as El Niño) disrupt hunting patterns and favour parasite spillover to humans. "This means that regional climate change due to global warming may indirectly drive disease outbreaks in humans," says Adrià San José, first author of the study

The point is that local governments — counties, cities and towns — are the ideal laboratories for innovative climate solutions like this. They can move faster and more nimbly than large national governments or agencies. They can engage the support of residents in a direct way. And their efforts can feel more meaningful to those who are frustrated by the slowness of action on the global scale or the smallness of our own personal actions, however important those are

I must confess, my shock and despair have more to do with his statement.
It comes across as dramatically out of touch with the reality of the growing number of people whose lives have already been severely impacted by the disruptions caused by global heating, including the thousands who have drowned in the Mediterranean and the millions who are fleeing a toxic mix of conflict and climate disruption in their home countries
