Rain one minute, heatwave the next. How climate ‘whiplash’ drives unpredictable fire weather
We’re not going to be able to stop climate instability and associated dangerous wildfire weather, so we need to adapt.

Curious why so much of #Europe is on fire 🔥 right now? NASA GRACE Soil moisture is in the bottom 1% across the vast majority of the Continent. This is what happens when the climate warms at 2X the Global rate, with 5 #heatwaves so far this summer.

New: Both Lake Powell and Lake Mead are now officially at their all-time record low levels.
Here’s the change in just the last 10 years. It’s unsustainable due to infrastructure built for a different population and our former climate. #lakepowell #lakemead #drought
