TIL about "cool pavement". are you all familiar with this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCHxXIAf1fs
i wonder how often they have to apply it and what the cost is 🤔

L'ordre a pour fonction de débrouiller toutes les confusions.
"Il prescrit à chacun sa place, à chacun son corps, à chacun sa maladie et sa mort, à chacun son bien. Par l'effet d'un pouvoir omniprésent et omniscient qui se subdivise"
"La discipline fait valoir son pouvoir qui est d'analyse"
Michel Foucault, in “Surveiller et punir : naissance de la prison”"Les pouvoirs publics réagissent". "Les ordonnances royales et les status urbains viennent dire : Retournez à votre place."

Is there a trade-off between water use efficiency and hydraulic conductivity at the cross species level? This study investigated this issue along the precipitation gradient.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/20/ministers-are-in-denial-about-the-scale-of-the-crises-we-face. This #letter writer, Dr Amy McDonnell, wants the #Government to start getting its act together on #climate #adaptation - which is all well & good, & doubtless necessary, but that same Government needs to act with far greater #urgency on climate #mitigation, too - & there must be absolutely NO more talk about further #drilling for #oil & #gas in the #NorthSea!

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐛🌊 Scientists have long wondered why no #insects live in the #ocean, often blaming #water pressure.
A new #study found that #larvae of the lake fly Chaoborus edulis dive nearly 260 m in #LakeMalawi using stretchy air sacs powered by the #protein #resilin. This pressure-resisting ability rules out pressure as the barrier, leaving the #mystery unsolved.

A stream winds through fields on the Holnicote estate, #Somerset. The rewilding projects help “store water during drought… and slow water during extreme rainfall“.
“Nature is providing solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing society today,” said Ben Eardley, the project manager at the Holnicote estate.
“By reconnecting river systems with the surrounding area and creating natural sponges in the landscape, we’ve created a system that stores water during drought, keeping wetlands and the surrounding habitats healthy, and slows water during storms and periods of extreme rainfall, helping to protect villages from the risk of flooding downstream.”

#Cities are getting hotter: '#ThermalJustice' offers a fairer way to adapt -
💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐭❄️ Researchers studying long-clawed #shrew skulls from #Hokkaido found that while the #skull shrinks in #winter, the snout grows larger and wider, the reverse of a known seasonal shrinking pattern.
The expanded nasal cavity may warm freezing #air before it reaches the #brain, keep scent detection sharp, or both. The changes appear reversible and may occur in other shrew species.

Activities force climate shifts, which in turn disable life.
Some mitigation could be envisaged:
"Maintaining functioning ecosystems in a hotter world will require mass-scale assisted colonisation, so appropriate conservation policy, legislative frameworks and regulating bodies must be urgently developed."

“Is there a sadness greater than having to leave your place of birth?”, one relocated participant in Odisha asked us. They described leaving behind their farmland, trees and home, and arriving somewhere with “not even flowers to offer the Gods”.

The climate-fueled massive heatwaves, drought, and wildfires (understandably) lead to more attention for climate adaptation.
The fact that we can never win the adaptation race if we don't reduce global emissions to zero is overlooked, and so is the resulting need to accelerate emission reduction. -
If we breach climate tipping points, climate change will continue even if we do reach net zero.
A letter to the Sheffield Star.
Dear Editor
In Friday’s Star, you highlighted a quote from Baroness Brown, who chairs the Climate Change Committee’s adaptation work. She said, “It gets worse from here. Until we get to Net Zero, things go on getting worse.”
Unfortunately, they may carry on getting far worse after we reach Net Zero.
We are dangerously close to climate tipping points, and if these are breached, our planet will no longer be a safe home for us. For instance, if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation collapses, our weather will be like the Ice Age in winter and extremely hot in summer, making it impossible to grow crops. Or if giant ice sheets collapse in the Arctic or Antarctic, sea levels will rise and likely flood most of our best agricultural land. Or when areas of the tundra melt, large emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane will be released, further increasing climate change.
Governments must stop dilly-dallying and get on a war footing to end our addiction to fossil fuels. They should be showing the Climate Emergency Briefing film to the public so everyone understands the extreme threats we face. Baroness Brown is right about one thing: this isn’t the new normal. Things will continue to get worse, so we need massive investment in adaptation so we can cope better with extreme heat, floods, fires, droughts, and storms.
As we have watched awful fires scorch many of our green spaces this week, it gives me no pleasure to say, “I told you this would happen”. And still, the Fire Brigade lacks the resources needed to adequately cope with so many fires. We don’t even have a single firefighting plane in this country.
Instead of leading on adaptation to keep us safe, Andy Burnham is expanding airports and debating opening yet more climate-changing oil and gas fields in the North Sea. Surely this record-breaking summer should be a wake-up call for him?
Yours sincerely
Graham Wroe

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦑🌊 About 15 years ago, Japanese researchers on a #research vessel photographed a shoal of roughly 100 neon flying #squid gliding in formation above the #Pacific #Ocean, about 600 km from #Tokyo.
The species uses a funnel-like organ called the hyponome to jet #water, propelling itself through both #air and #sea. Scientists remain unsure why the squid fly in unison, suggesting they may be evading a #predator like a #shark.
