A city hotter than parts of the Sahara becomes a headline for a day, then disappears under sport, politics and celebrity gossip.

It really feels like this so much! There were quite some sad climate news this year already, but except the heatwave in Europe, they all got buried by Hormuz strait news, like:

  • collapse of AMOC now likely
  • collapse of Thwaites now likely
  • ~~acceleration~~ rate of warming almost doubled in the past decade to about 0.3 °C/decade
