A sharp analysis of the damage wrought by the reckless super-rich, and progressive toolkit for repairing itThe more power the radical rightwing nationalists of our age accrue, the greater the risk that their destructive brand of politics becomes normalised. We should not, for instance, regard it as normal that the man in charge of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal casually promises “a whole civilisation will die tonight”. We should not accept that history’s first trillionaire is allowed to spread racist conspiracy theories to a hitherto unimaginable extent. We should be alarmed that, here in the UK, a party tipped to lead a potential future government is trying to cruise to power in the slipstream of this international movement.In fact, we shouldn’t just be alarmed by such developments: we should stop them and urgently repair the damage already done. But how? And what is the nature of that damage? This bold, clarifying intervention from Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor provides some of the answers. “End times fascism” is their term for a convergence of interests that can broadly be understood as a response to the climate crisis. Faced with a world coming under unprecedented strain from environmental shocks and an unequal, resource-hungry economic system, today’s reactionaries are effectively saying: bring it on.

Climate change is forcing Kenya's wildlife officers to go on a crocodile hunt on the shores of Lake Baringo in a bid to curb growing human-wildlife conflict. Lakes in Kenya's Rift Valley have risen to levels not seen in at least half a century, pushing the reptiles towards human homes. Officers are tasked with trapping the animals and relocating them — an operation as tricky as it is dangerous.
How should we envision the African city of tomorrow? A city adapted to population growth and climate change, and freed from a colonial past that is still very much present in some places. Africa’s first pan-African architecture biennale, held this week in Kenya, is seeking to answer that question.

As trust in institutions wavers, experts say local, collective action is more effective in driving changeWildfires, excess deaths, hosepipe bans, school closures: this summer many British people have experienced the often devastating effects of the climate crisis in ways they had not before. In that sense, policymakers and climate experts have a unique opportunity to engage with the public about what needs to happen to better prepare the country for the years ahead. But as trust in institutions wavers – and yellowed, drought-stricken grass begins to recover – can the messaging cut through?This week, reflecting on a summer as “hot as hell”, the UN’s head of climate, Simon Stiell, said: “Climate is sometimes seen as a partisan issue, as territory in the culture wars. That is palpably false.” Continue reading...

Scientists have long warned of more intense extreme weather events in the decades to come due to our fast-warming climate. The question they are asking is how we are going to be better prepared as we become more prone to natural disasters.A group of researchers in Switzerland believe that artificial intelligence modeling could revolutionise forecasting systems.
Records from the past few decades show that, during this period, El Niño events have been frequent and often extreme. But is this normal, or is it the result of climate change? Corals can give us a clear indication.
