This footage shows the terrifying scope of the Glass Fire, which has ripped through Northern California this week. Thousands of people have been displaced and at least 80 homes have been destroyed in Napa and Sonoma counties. The fire had burned more than 46,000 acres and was 2% contained by Tuesday evening, according to Cal Fire.

Scientists say the climate crisis is making wildfire seasons longer and more destructive. Rising temperatures have created arid conditions in forested lands, which makes trees drier and therefore more flammable. This year’s wildfires have been further exacerbated by extended heatwaves and warm, dry wind patterns. 2020 has been the worst wildfire season ever in CA, with 5 of the 6 most destructive fires in state history occurring this year.

The Climate Crisis Is Still a Crisis

If the fate of American democracy is on the ballot in November, so too is the future of the planet.

The past five years have been the hottest on record; 19 of the hottest 20 years have occurred since 2001. Polar ice and glaciers are melting. Coral reefs and rainforests are disappearing. Hurricane season comes earlier and more intensely, and every year brings 100-year storms.

If we fail to limit greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030, searing heat, widespread drought, destructive storms, and coastal flooding will become even more common. Rising oceans will envelop coastal cities such as Miami, New York, Boston, New Orleans, and Houston. The Pentagon predicts that mass migration and climate refugees will lead to widespread political instability.

As a sizzling July continues, here’s what to know about climate change and weather

Freakish Siberian heat and a record string of high-temperature days during the already typically soupy Washington, D.C., summer are just two of a handful of...

As for the bigger picture, the World Meteorological Organization said forecasts suggest there’s a 20% chance that average global temperatures will be 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) higher than the pre-industrial average in at least one year between 2020 and 2024. The 1.5 C mark is the level countries agreed to cap global warming at in the voluntary Paris accord.

Not too long ago, a blink of an eye, in climate terms, the models and scientists were projecting these kinds of impacts for 2100, and then 2070, 2050, 2040, and now … , a 1 in 5 chance before 2024. 

Before 2025.

World has six months to avert climate crisis, says energy expert

International Energy Agency chief warns of need to prevent post-lockdown surge in emissions

The world has only six months in which to change the course of the climate crisis and prevent a post-lockdown rebound in greenhouse gas emissions that would overwhelm efforts to stave off climate catastrophe, one of the world’s foremost energy experts has warned.

“This year is the last time we have, if we are not to see a carbon rebound,” said Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency.

Governments are planning to spend $9tn (£7.2tn) globally in the next few months on rescuing their economies from the coronavirus crisis, the IEA has calculated. The stimulus packages created this year will determine the shape of the global economy for the next three years, according to Birol, and within that time emissions must start to fall sharply and permanently, or climate targets will be out of reach.
