The past week has been marked by a series of extreme weather events around the world. From the epic floods wreaking havoc in Africa, Asia, and Europe, claiming over 1,500 lives and costing over $15 billion, to the impact of climate change shaping the Louisiana coast, demonstrated through a compilation of photos and essays. In the US, PTC 8 lashed the Carolinas while Tropical Storm Gordon remained far out to sea, underscoring the continued intensity of the Atlantic hurricane season. In California, the state shifted from record heat and devastating fires to a rapid cooldown, with some areas even experiencing early season snow. Further, Google's announcement to invest in satellites and AI to better detect wildfires, using FireSat, a constellation of over 50 satellites, shows a growing focus on innovative approaches to address the escalating wildfire crisis. These events underscore the urgency of the climate crisis and emphasize the need for immediate, coordinated action on a global scale.
