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.

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.

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.
