Runaway #glacier loss has been my unwanted companion as I climb in the Andes. It not only makes climbing more dangerous, this rising imbalance in our alpine ecosystems has dire consequences to humans and wildlife. #ClimateAction Follow/share the thread ⬇️

Since the 1960s, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by more than 30%. The average portion of the planet likely to be covered by heat storms and heat waves has risen more than 12-fold. Explore the first in our series on this climate phenomenon reut.rs/4sl2Kdi

How can space help us see the changes unfolding across Earth? Last Saturday at the #ArsElectronica Festival 2026 in Linz, Austria, @mboothp took audiences on a journey from satellite observations and climate data to protecting Earth from asteroid impacts during "Protect Our Planet and Climate" in Deep Space 8K at the Ars Electronica Center. The live Science Experience showed how space-based evidence can turn complex global change into something people can see, discuss and understand. Want to explore climate data for yourself?

The biodiversity crisis numbers: 60% decline in our lifetimes - how much more?
"We are losing biodiversity at a rate unparalleled in human history." Global wildlife populations have sunk over 60% since 1970. We are destroying ourselves and taking nature with us. Time to protect people and the planet. #ActOnClimate #climate #biodiversity #nature

Awesome capture by MTG-I1 🛰️ as nightfall and the moon’s shadow race each other over Europe.
Solar eclipse as seen from space! From its vantage point in space, the Meteosat Third Generation Imager satellite (MTG-I1) captured the Moon’s dark shadow as it passed over Earth’s surface – converging with the advancing twilight shadow as dusk fell over Europe. ➡️esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Video… 📹ESA/Eumetsat #EuropeanSolarEclipse

Wildfires west of Athens, Greece, seen from space 🔥 Captured on 2 August 2026, these images show the event at different scales: on the left, @CopernicusEU Sentinel-2 shows the burned area and smoke plume, while on the right, Sentinel-3 shows the wider extent of the smoke across parts of Greece. esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image…

An intense heatwave is affecting western Europe. This image of land surface temperature was captured by the @CopernicusEU Sentinel-3 mission on Wednesday, 23 June in the late morning. Cities and regions of France, Spain and southern Italy are experiencing unseasonal temperatures: Madrid 48°C • Poitiers 46°C • Rome 44°C 🔥 More info 👉 esa.int/.../Europe_feels_the…...

Good news: economic growth doesn’t have to come at the expense of air quality. Using @CopernicusEU Sentinel-5P data, researchers found many major cities are growing while cutting NO₂ - read the full story⬇️ esa.int/Applications/Observi…

Europe is facing an exceptional heatwave.
Are you feeling the heat too?🥵 A heatwave is driving temperatures far above average across much of Western Europe and the UK, with record May temperatures reported in several countries. This map shows land surface temperatures across Europe, using @CopernicusEU Sentinel-3 data from 26 May 2026. 🔗esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image…
