The atmosphere just hit a new water-vapour record: 27.35 kg of water vapour per m2 in August 2026, ~20 trillion litres more water than the previous record.
Warmer air holds ~7% more moisture per °C.
More water vapour means more energy to fuel extreme weather.

Male helps by gathering nesting materials, while the female does the intricate leaf-sewing.
The female does most or all of the specialized work. She uses her beak like a needle to pierce holes in leaves and stitches them together with plant fibers or spider silk.

Čína dál sleduje kritiky v Evropě

Čínské zahraniční policejní stanice po odhalení z roku 2022 formálně skončily. Bezpečnostní experti a výpovědi členů diaspory ale ukazují, že mechanismy, jimiž Peking monitoruje a zastrašuje kritiky v Evropě, nezmizely – jen se hůře dokazují a častěji fungují pod civilním či digitálním krytím. I přesto, že Čína v roce 2022 formálně uzavřela své „policejní stanice“
