🌡️ Unprecedented June heat across Svalbard, led by extreme spikes at the highest latitudes! Final monthly data shows Karl XII-øya (80.65N) shattered its June record reaching 0.8°C (prev 0.2°C), while Verlegenhuken (80.05N) crushed its 2024 record by a massive 0.8°C, hitting 3.2°C.

The EU wants to hand over our fingerprints and facial images to Trump. Hardly anyone knows. Sign and share to help stop it! action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-06...

Tbf, they did that calculation in gmd.copernicus.org/articles/17/..., and I’m no longer worried about the carbon footprint of climate modeling (their sample of modeling centers casusd ~one year of a large apartment building’s worth of people’s emissions for their CMIP6 runs)

In the Netherlands, the budget cuts on Social Sciences & Humanities will not be reversed cause the cabinet wants to invest in "innovation" (read AI factories). This is a political agenda and would be great if STEM colleagues recognise it and fight back.

Wow. This is not good. And what terrible style from the US Ambassador (consciously mimicking the political boss apparently) in emailing journalists @eurcorrespond.bsky.social ... newsletter-cdn.europeancorrespondent.com/go/ke13kj8tc...

PSA to people on Instagram: people who don’t have Instagram can’t see your posts! They see a login prompt. That information about your business or your event? Literally inaccessible

I’m not sure where this is, but i’m going to guess somewhere in the greater Houston area.

Après nous, le déluge...

For the first time, temperatures above 30 °C have been recorded on Heligoland. This is remarkable because Heligoland is located in the middle of the North Sea, far from the mainland (at least 47 km away).

The reason we created all these technologies and interventions was because each step made the world incrementally better for everyone versus much better for a small preferred class. #BillionairesAreTheProblem

The Danes can't claim all the credit, though. It was teamwork...

We “only” reached 33C in Copenhagen today, and it’s currently “just” 27C in my apartment. But the warm weather was accompanied by a thunderstorm that hit larges areas but will not hit Copenhagen either.

And we've done it! All time Danish record of 36.4C broken with 37C. Previous June record (from 1947) beaten by a full 1.5C. Also warmest tropical night on record. Previous record was August 1975* *Not a typo for UK readers, 1975 was was warmer than 1976 in Denmark. www.dr.dk/nyheder/vejr...

Der bliver sagt og skrevet meget vrøvl om droner efter at først Forsvaret har fremlagt sin evaluering og Politiet nu har lukket efterforskningen af nedlukningen af Københavns Lufthavn. Derfor kan det være relevant at gøre op, hvad der faktisk er blevet lagt frem. (1/x)

Europe currently faces a trilemma between: - achieving strategic autonomy from the USA - avoiding pooling its defence procurement and deployment - meaningfully cutting welfare spending//raising taxes It must choose two out of three. 1/4

Laying in the garden, joined by one of the cats, it's so tranquil and theres a cool breeze. The earth smells strange and scorched but the airmass is moving.

Yet nevertheless, actual data shows that right now, the carbon balance of French electricity is minuscule 22 gCO2-e/kWh. About one fifteenth (1/15) of German average. In practice, it is almost as clean as it can get. 100% wind power would be ~10-14 - w/o storage. www.rte-france.com/en/data-publ...

Hitzeflaute is the usual term for the conditions

The basic foundation of the post-WW2 settlement of Eastern European grievances was that we draw a big fat line under them and move on. Polish right has been repeatedly trying to overturn it, first by issuing pie in the sky demands for reparations from Germany, now reviving the Wołyń trauma.

Denmark will supply Ukraine with 15,000 long-range artillery rounds after Kyiv urged allies to prioritize long-range firepower over short-range systems. www.kyivpost.com/post/78902

NHS England admits it has been lying about Palantir’s effectiveness. Whilst the systems we build ourselves are producing better results with faster systems and happier medics.

Hitzewelleflaute?

After weeks of searching, I think I have broken @railfinder.eu -> I am looking for a fast + cheapish route home from UK. Eurostar extmely expensive, so I thought, how about ferry from Harwich to Hoek and then train to Copenhagen. Railfinder routes me back from Hoek van Holland to Harwich and […]

It’s a heatwaveflaute. Energy prices tonight are going through the roof.

Interesting analysis of UK power grid during the heatwave - It's like a reverse dunkelflaute (surely there is a german word for this?) where we don't (yet) have enough solar, there isn't enough wind and it's too warm for nuclear to fill gap. Gas it appears is also struggling to cool..

This is going to be a terrific adventure... www.science.org/content/arti...

Can I chip in with another oddity and say that Denmark is the only western European country to have been occupied by the USSR (Bornholm until April 1946).

It remains a classic - thankyou @micefearboggis.bsky.social for reminding us it's not actually about the rankings..

Some really interesting stuff in here - I am slightly depressed by the dominance of older male scientists - but methodology pulls it that way as it does H-index. Also, counting @ecmwf.int as "UK" in the list is stretching things a bit (a lot). Perhaps like the R team "international" is fairer.

I feel this way every time a new Reuters Institute Digital News Report comes out. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing report and they are doing a fantastic job. But the media trends it reveals have been down for a decade now...

Ingen ny påg än

We're going to need a new colour scale

Harmonie for Friday is absolutely insane.

“convinced that rapidly increasing electrification of our homes, industries and transport systems, supported by resilient, modern and flexible grids and storage, powered by clean energy sources, is an immediate strategic and economic priority and a lasting response to the current energy crisis.”

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

The Copenhell Metal Festival is on this week, just in time for the heat wave and whoever thought of this is genius. #Copenhagen #Copenhell #Heatwave #Wx

I generally think that Belgium works quite well, considering, but people should be more angry that Flanders was able to block the creation of a national heatwave plan for the petty politics of nationalism and the suicidal politics of climate scepticism.

We regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office. Our apologies to everyone who was planning to attend the event.

🇩🇰Danish national service conscripts serving 11 months will be deployed to 🇬🇱Greenland in July. This is according to the Minister of Defence to augment the existing contingent of infantry and special units.

Our research group and @precise-project.bsky.social is represented by Clement Cherblanc who will be presenting the first results from our SMB emulator in Antarctica at the poster session. Looks like a very interesting line-up

Det er mig en gåde, at kritikken af Søren Gade ikke for alvor slår igennem i #dkpol Den dybt problematiske dobbeltrollen i Esbjerg Havn ser nu ud til at nå nye højder. Sammen med de andre lorne ting håber jeg virkelig FT genovervejer situationen.
