This isn't Spain. This isn't Greece. This is North Wales. A major wildfire on Conwy Mountain near Sychnant Pass has triggered a major incident, forcing evacuations in parts of Capelulo. Authorities have closed Conwy Old Road and are urging nearby residents in Dwygyfylchi and Penmaenmawr to stay indoors with windows shut. It's only going to get worse!

Virtually every fish in one of Arizona’s largest lakes has died after the reservoir fell to less than 1% of its capacity. This spring, the mountain snow that feeds the reservoir reached just 2% of its normal level. With almost no inflow, the lake shrank dramatically, the water overheated, oxygen levels collapsed, and nearly 100% of the fish suffocated. But drought wasn’t the only reason. Even as the reservoir was collapsing, water continued flowing downstream to supply farms under agreements written decades ago, when a snowpack collapse this severe was considered unthinkable. The ecosystem kept losing water while the climate that sustained it had already changed. The rules were built for a world that no longer exists. Climate change isn’t only testing ecosystems. It’s testing the systems we built to manage them. Before and after: San Carlos Reservoir, Arizona (2023 vs. 2026). [Source: NASA Earth Observatory, June 2026.]
