Dutch government (council of ministers) is back from summer holiday, and parliament returns in ten days from now.
Would it be too much to expect the announcement of a strong climate offensive (accelerated emission reduction and adaptation) one of these days, in response to this Summer of Reckoning?

In the Netherlands, the 2026 summer drought just isn't over yet. Precipitation deficit (evaporation minus rainfall) is going up again in a warm and dry September week, ending the season in the top 5% of driest years on record. At the end of the month, the deficit will be ~3 times higher than in a median year.

As could be expected, the extremely warm waters of the Mediterranean - due to the record hot summer of 2026 - now lead to unprecedented rainfall, with flooding as a result.
70 mm is more than a month's worth of rain in Valencia, now delivered in 30 minutes. Try adapting to that.

My sister just had a soundbite in a spot about ENSO (El Niño) on NPR All Things Considered.
She did some of the foundational research on ENSO & paleoclimate using coral which is what everyone is referencing now to say that this year is the worst in forever.

Drought in the Netherlands: precipitation deficit for the season reached above 300 mm, a rare value, 150% above peak in a mediaan year.
Now forecasted to stabilise thanks to a bit of rain.
Worst in the west of the country.

The water flow in the Rhine keeps plummeting. It had never been below 780 m³/s in summer. When we were at 650, an expert told us it couldn't go much lower. Now we're at 572 m³/s, the lowest on record, even below the ice blocked flow in the winter of 1929.

I remember discussions about US subsidies for CCS as far back as 2003 - accompanied by promises that this was THE SOLUTION. The technology for carbon capture is much older. And it still is not "mature" as a means of addressing #ClimateChange. Why do governments keep wasting money on this? None of the projects have delivered as promised.
