The science has been settled for decades. #ClimateChange

In the remote Amazon rainforest, traditional midwives like Tabita dos Santos Moraes provide essential care as climate change-induced droughts cut off access to hospitals. Tabita, who calls herself the “umbilical mother” to over 180 babies, practices skills passed down through four generations of women in her family

This dataset fills a critical gap in long-term, global-scale heat stress data. Additionally, we employed climate network methods to innovatively explore teleconnections of extreme heat events, providing a tool to reveal their spatiotemporal relationships and supporting the development of effective health protection strategies

#cleanenergy progress in the states!

Very promising pilot program for electrifying low/middle income homes,
Incl heat pump, solar, batteries, etc.

Batteries help grid during high demand. Utility incentive payments go to company installing battery - offsets cost.

Seventeen nations just pledged to halve air pollution – now comes the hard part

Nearly 50 countries, cities and organizations committed to halving air pollution by 2040 at the WHO conference in Cartagena. This agreement highlights the urgency of addressing air pollution, which causes seven million deaths annually. SEI’s Jennifer Pedraza offers insight into how these commitments can stay on track

The graph shown below is a bit more technical than the one in my previous post. It illustrates three things:

First, that global warming in March 2025 was at 1.6°C above the pre-industrial average.

Second, that average warming over the past 22 months has been 1.61°C, well above the previously hoped for 1.5 limit.

And third, it also shows that the warming we are currently experiencing should not be as high as it is. Last year’s El Niño has ended, so we *should* have seen global temperatures drop significantly. But they have not.

That's because we are witnessing the total wreckage of Earth’s precious ecosystem. The world you and I were born into is gone forever.

Capitalist commerce and industry, if left unchecked, will ultimately destroy modern civilization, resulting in millions if not billions of human deaths, along with the extinction of countless plant and animal species.

That’s not doomism. It’s reality.

Seems like a good day to remind folks of Bill Moyer's 4 Kinds of Activists & 8 Stages of a Movement... and the role that hopeful #climatefiction can fill in the fight.

Data centers contain 90% crap data

｢ We’re destroying our environment to store copies of copies of copies of stuff we have no intention of ever looking at again. We’re destroying our environment to take 1.9 trillion photos every year. That’s more photos taken in one single year in the 2020s than were taken in the entire 20th century. That more than 200 photos taken for every child, woman and man alive ｣
