Study behind Reno “desert” warning used now-retracted worst-case climate model
Warnings about the desertification of Reno relied on a discredited emissions scenario the IPCC officially declared implausible. The study’s most dramatic projections depend on RCP8.5, which requires a five-fold increase in coal consumption by 2100. Over 99 percent of Earth’s land surface will remain within the same biome classification under realistic projections. The study excluded […]

ECB to penalize loans to climate-risky firms by up to 5% starting in 2027
The European Central Bank will impose up to a 5% penalty on loans to high-emission companies starting in 2027. Global sustainable funds saw $84 billion in outflows in 2025 as private green finance retreats. The IPCC quietly abandoned its most extreme warming scenario, undermining key climate models. The Trump administration is pushing the World Bank […]

German weather site’s viral Rhine temperature reading draws mockery over flawed method
A viral video from German weather site donnerwetter.de claiming the Rhine River hit 28 C was ridiculed for using a one-second dip in two-centimeter-deep, sun-baked water. The shallow measurement site near Bonn, with water only 2 cm deep, could not accurately reflect the river’s true temperature. Critics point to a broader pattern of overstated heat […]

Record drought drains the Danube, exposing Nazi warships and forcing first-ever nuclear shutdowns
Historic drought and record heat have reduced the Danube River to record lows, exposing WWII Nazi warships, a 1937 Hungarian cargo wreck, and suspected mammoth remains while crippling river transport. Hungary and Romania have shut down nuclear reactors that rely on Danube water for cooling for the first time in history, creating an unprecedented energy […]

The pledge requires tech companies to build or buy their own power and cover full infrastructure costs, preventing ratepayers from footing AI energy bills. Southern utilities tout early savings, including a $50 […]
