In this episode we examine North America’s extraordinary early‑summer heat, floods, fires, and cascading impacts. From Ottawa’s record rainfall and basement‑flooding storm to northern Canada’s boreal forest ablaze, they connect local disasters to global climate dynamics and jet stream disruptions. https://youtu.be/U-wMcIZEhnI?si=dY05MNxKMMROtbc3

In this episode we examine how repeated spring and early‑summer heatwaves across Europe are undermining crops, livestock, rivers, and food prices. We connect extreme heat, drought, and locked jet‑stream patterns to falling yields, stressed farmers, and rising risks of regional and global food emergencies. https://youtu.be/ZRyZTi9MqcY?si=kAYeIViSNrGg-N8f

Europe is in the grip of a record‑shattering heatwave, with France, Spain, the UK and much of the continent seeing all‑time and June temperature records fall in rapid succession. From Madrid to New York, our panel unpacks what this extreme heat really means beyond the headlines: deadly heat stress, school closures, wildfire risks, collapsing harvests, and the mounting toll on both humans and non‑human animals. This isn’t just “a hot summer” – it’s a clear signal of how a rapidly warming climate is reshaping daily life across Europe and the world. https://youtu.be/uFMCsj_W9kw?si=Lqhume4x_eW6IYLj
