On September 12, the weather will split Ukraine in half: rain and thunderstorms in the west and north, dry and up to +30 in the south and east. The Hydrometeorological Center declared a yellow danger level in nine oblasts.

Microsoft programmer Andy Gaverly proposed detonating a nuclear charge on the ocean floor to accelerate carbon sequestration. Scientists called the idea irresponsible and not peer-reviewed.

The WMO and the UN warn: El Niño is intensifying and could become the most powerful in a thousand years. The ocean anomaly is already 2.6°C, and by November it may reach 4°C; the consequences will affect harvests, water resources, and food security.

A PLOS study showed that the release of ancient viruses from melting glaciers could reduce populations of modern organisms by 30%. Scientists warn of a new driver of species extinction that has not been factored into climate models.

Four record heat waves this summer led to at least 35,000 deaths in Europe. The highest excess mortality was recorded in Germany, France and Spain, where the figure has already exceeded 25,000.

Researchers, publishing their work in Nature Communications, established that 22 global cooling events over the past 11,700 years were triggered by powerful volcanic eruptions that emitted sulfur into the stratosphere.

AI giants OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI are preparing for IPOs while ignoring environmental reporting. In 2026, California law SB253 will force them to disclose emission data comparable to that of entire countries.

Europe has faced an unprecedented food crisis in 2026: record heat and drought have led to crop failure in France, Italy, and Germany, threatening the region's food security.

🥒 Why are cucumbers bitter? In 2026, gardeners are facing new challenges due to climate change. Bitterness is caused by cucurbitacin, which accumulates under stress. Learn how to properly care for cucumbers to avoid this problem! #cucumbers #gardening #cucurbitacin

🚨 Logistics Collapse 2026: Freight rates soared by 234% due to wars and drought. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, the Rhine has dried up, and port queues have reached record highs. Experts warn of a structural crisis and rising prices for consumers. #Logistics #Economy #Crisis

🔥 The largest fire in Belgian history has engulfed 3,000 hectares in the High Fens. The fire threatens the German border, and smoke has reached France. Firefighters from 3 countries have been mobilized, and the EU has deployed equipment. Residents have been evacuated, and climatologists link this to climate change. #Belgium #Fire #Climate #Europe

🇭🇺 Hungary on the brink of energy collapse: PM Magyar ordered the sinking of two barges to raise the Danube level and save Paks NPP from shutdown. The plant is operating at 25% capacity due to drought. Neighboring Romania has already shut down its reactor. The climate crisis is hitting the region's nuclear energy sector. #Hungary #NPP #Drought #Danube

🇨🇳 China is changing its strategy to combat climate disasters. After summer floods that claimed dozens of lives in Gansu and Chongqing, Xi Jinping ordered the implementation of AI and drones for disaster monitoring. Beijing has been identified as a risk zone due to outdated drainage infrastructure. #China #Climate #Floods #XiJinping #Technology

🇭🇺 Hungarian PM Péter Madjar harshly criticized the Paks II nuclear project, calling it "concrete pits" and outdated. He claims Rosatom is not honoring the contract and the country has lost €2.8 billion. Climate risks and missed deadlines exacerbate the situation. #Hungary #Rosatom #NuclearPower #Politics

🇷🇴 The Cernavodă NPP has shut down its second unit due to the Danube's low water levels. Romania is losing 680 MW and switching to energy imports from Ukraine. Authorities promise that household power will not be cut off, but industry may be affected. The situation mirrors the problems Hungary faced with the Paks NPP.

🌤️ In Ukraine, comfortable weather +22+26°C until the end of the week. But heat will return on August 16-17! Synoptic forecaster Didenko warns: nights will be cooler, but daytime temperatures will reach up to +28°C in Kyiv. No rain is expected — an anticyclone is maintaining dry weather. 📊 #Weather #Ukraine #Heatwave2026

⚡️ **Amazon Builds a Gas Power Plant in Texas for AI** Amazon has supported the construction of the 7.65 GW GW Ranch plant in Pecos County to power its data centers. 📉 **Environmental Conflict:** A permit for emissions of up to 33 million tons of CO2 per year jeopardizes Amazon's promise to become carbon neutral by 2040. 🏗️ **Paradigm Shift:** Hyperscalers are moving to a "Power-First" principle and bypassing public grids by building their own energy sources. 🔍 **Facts:** The project was previously estimated at 5 GW (Pacifico Energy initiative); now Amazon is increasing the scale. The company is also considering nuclear power plants and diesel generators. #Amazon #AI #Energy #Texas #ClimateChange

🚨 Microsoft study shocks the world: AI could increase oil production by hundreds of billions of barrels! 🛢️ Scientists have found that algorithms optimize fossil fuel extraction more effectively than they help green energy. This threatens additional CO2 emissions of 1.8 billion tons annually. Without strict state regulation, technologies could exacerbate, rather than solve, the climate crisis. 🌍📉 #Microsoft #AI #ClimateChange #OilGas #Economy
