"During the meeting, the U.S. said it will cut support to Ukraine after disbursing the last installments of a G7-wide loan that was negotiated by the Biden administration in 2024, an EU diplomat said."

Additionally, it appears that all of EPA's previously extensive "indicators of climate change" pages have been scrubbed entirely. The pages no longer exist; there are numerous dead links on the current/live EPA site, and no indication they have been moved to a new URL.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

This is something new. And gloomy. (Probably not yet reality, but within realm of possibilities already. Think about doubling the warming to global +2.5C or similar (now ca. +1.1C) - and what that results in...)

This morning's ECMWF deterministic forecast simulates an extreme scenario: +11 °C in Finland in mid-December.

Most likely does not verify as such but gives perspective of what it possible in today's climate under the current large-scale weather pattern.
2m temperature anomaly chart based on ECMWF forecast on Mon 08 Dec 00z. Highly anomalous warmth over southern Finland. Maximum temperatures from the ECMWF forecast. The forecast is valid on Tue 16 Dec. The highest values are +11 °C in Finland.

Seeing this, and thinking about immigration to Europe... not going to be easy if Europe aims to limit immigration even more. We should embrace change and use this as an opportunity to refresh old continent. But not easy to do, given the current situation...

"Syria is enduring one of its worst droughts in decades, with severely low rainfall and rising temperatures. This has caused wheat harvests to drop by 40% and pushed fodder prices up, forcing herders to sell livestock at a loss"

Annual reminder that warming climate will cause wild swings in weather. And that might increase extreme cold conditions and severe storms.. not to mention the AMOC down the line if we keep warming the globe..

Sure. But all eastern European countries are hesitant to offer security guarantees (Finland's PM has publicly said no to offering sec guarantees, and Sweden almost), and it seems everyone is beefing up their own defences first, which takes years... that is why we need the whole Europe.

The track record of Europe up to this point does not provide much hope (but of course everything is possible, I just don't have high hopes for sudden European common will that will materialise in concrete actions at this point. For sure there will be a lot of talk and grand gestures, but what else?)
