20 to 30 Swiss glaciers could disappear this summer

Switzerland is on course for its second-most severe glacier melt on record.Small glaciers are especially vulnerable, with around 20–30 potentially losing their remaining ice completely.

The severe melt is driven by little winter snow and intense heat early in the summer.

Astonishing 1000-YR++ rain in the DESERT in Mohave last evening.

9 inches in just 3 hours, SE of Las Vegas & Henderson Nevada, near Nelson. Actually exceeds the criteria by 2.5X

In the desert where rain is rare, the ground can’t handle it, rain runs off quick and can cause massive flash flooding. A reminder that a 1000-yr event doesn’t happen once every 1000 years. Instead it means the chance any given year is .1%.

This statistical calculation is based on our past climate record. But this is a new climate, with new rules, more moisture, and more frequent extreme rain events.

JOHANNESBURG, Aug 14 (Reuters) - South Africa's Constitutional Court on ​Friday blocked offshore exploration led by Shell (SHEL.L), opens new tab along the country's ‌pristine Wild Coast, a setback for the oil major after years of legal challenges by local communities and environmentalists.
The ruling is the latest outcome in ​a series of court cases that have dampened investor ​appetite and delayed exploration offshore South Africa.

This is fine

Na Šumavě dnes ráno mrzlo, na Rokytské slati na Klatovsku byly minus dva stupně Celsia. Na dalších místech v Česku pak teploty klesly téměř na nulu. Přes den ale budou zase v Česku tropické teploty, které se dostanou až na 36 stupňů.

PROJECTED 2027 GLOBAL WARMING - UNPRECEDENTED

2026 super El Nino on top of accelerating global warming.
2017 was 0.9°C. This projected (1.76°C) is a 0.86°C temperature increase in 10 years. Far faster than any increase in Earth's history, so Explosive (London Geological Society 2022, global warming fastest in geological record)

WHAT COMES AFTER DESPAIR

I would humibly suggest other perspectives to neo-liberal psychology...

"Above all, despair is irrational. Let me explain why."

There was a time when despair was a pathway to God. Or to put it in more secular language - what does not kill you makes you stronger.
Humans are not accounts - where despair is a negative cost - an "irrational" thing. Where the worse the despair, the worse the account.

Humans are alive. They can self-create, transcend, they have free will. Out of the darkness comes the light. It's complicated. It not a rational thing.

Despair was seen as the penultimate emotion by now forgotten 20th century philosophers who saw and experienced the desolation of war. Despair destroys the ego. This devastation of the self leads you to get over your self, and so to act in service to the other, and prepare for death.

Despair is the essential pathway for rage to be liberated from respression. In the crises to come, despair is the power house that creates the character to resist - to do what is necessary in the time we have. To live as a human and die as a human

Living systems don't survive because they optimize. They survive because they engage in circularity, cooperation and robustness, leveraging diversity and mutual support to survive and thrive.

This can and should apply to human systems, as well.
