Tracking the toxic metals left behind by #wildfires
Researcher Derek Peak and colleagues used the powerful X-ray beamlines at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) to study how #chromium can change into a #toxic form, and how it interacts with iron in soils during #fires. The interaction with #iron is important because the two elements "tend to travel in the same circles" in nature, says Peak, a soil chemist in USask's Soil Science department.
"This project was looking at fundamental mechanisms under controlled conditions so that we can start to predict or model the process better," he said. The CLS's SXRMB beamline was vital to this work, Peak says, because it is difficult to study the oxidation states of iron and chromium without ultrabright synchrotron light.

Once endorsed by the state, it seems likely that an awful lot of insurers are going to drop wildfire coverage in Nevada over the next year.
#GiftLink but some people may be asked to register.

Get ready for several years of killer heat, top #weather #forecasters warn
“Higher global mean temperatures may sound abstract, but it translates in real life to a higher chance of extreme weather: stronger hurricanes, stronger precipitation, droughts,” said Cornell University #climate scientist Natalie Mahowald, who wasn’t part of the calculations but said they made sense. “So higher global mean temperatures translates to more lives lost.”

A Warning From a #California Marine #HeatWave
An extreme heat wave off California’s coast seemed like an anomaly 10 years ago. But as the #ocean warms, the catastrophe may be a glimpse of the future.

#US is about to make a sharp turn on #climate #policy
We can expect to see a dramatic shift in how US talks about climate on the international stage. We will once again withdraw from the #ParisAgreement.
We can also expect to see efforts to undo some of Biden’s key climate actions.
A Trump presidency could add 4 billion metric tons of #carbondioxide #emissions to the atmosphere by 2030 over what was expected from a second Biden term.

'We don't really consider it low probability anymore': Collapse of key #Atlantic current could have catastrophic impacts, says #oceanographer Stefan Rahmstorf
he Atlantic #Ocean's most vital ocean current (#AMOC), which includes the #GulfStream, acts as a planetary conveyor belt bringing nutrients, oxygen and heat north from tropical waters, while moving colder water south, is showing troubling signs of reaching a disastrous tipping point.

Trees and land absorbed almost no #CO2 last year. Is nature’s #carbon sink failing?
The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into #climate models – and could rapidly accelerate #globalheating
#2023, hottest year ever recorded, findings by an team of researchers show the amount of carbon absorbed by land has temporarily collapsed. The final result was that forest, plants and soil – as a net category – absorbed almost no carbon.

Record-breaking increase in #CO2 levels in world’s #atmosphere
Experts issue warning after finding global average concentration in March was 4.7ppm higher than same period last year
The largest ever recorded leap in the amount of #carbondioxide laden in the world's atmosphere has just occurred, according to researchers who monitor the relentless accumulation of the primary gas that is heating the planet.

How melting #Arctic #ice leads to #Europe's #drought and #heatwaves
Fresh, cold water from #Greenland ice melting upsets #NorthAtlantic currents. Based on measurements from the new study, a currently emerging “freshwater anomaly” will likely trigger a drought and #heatwave this summer in Southern Europe. The coming extremes will probably be similar to the European heatwaves of #2018 and #2022 https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/03/how-melting-arctic-ice-leads-to-european-drought-and-heatwaves/

A new hybrid #subspecies of #puffin is likely the result of #climatechange. Researchers report that a hybrid #Atlantic puffin population on the remote Norwegian island of Bjornoya seems to have emerged in a period coinciding with the onset of a faster pace of #globalwarming. This arose from the #breeding between two subspecies within the past 100 or so years. Serious loss of #genetic diversity still poses risks for their future. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/10/a-new-hybrid-subspecies-of-puffin-is-likely-the-result-of-climate-change/ #cliamtecrisis

@larryneufeld The marvelous technique of lying with the truth, the part truth and nothing like the whole truth.
2 things strike me as abundantly clear:
1) We must convert to #renewables with #storage as soon as humanly possible (and WW 2 manufacturing ramp and repurposing in the US shows what can and must be done)
2) We will need #fossil fuels ONLY until alternative renewable energy is deployedAnd so we need a strategy that defines how we will manage that transition, and how we will respond to unexpected setbacks, AND unexpected successes
Saying we will need fossil fuels, without linking to an explicit strategy and timeline (subject to acceleration) , is merely a shill for the status quo that will cause death, displacement and despair unlike anything known in recent times.

As #Ocean #Oxygen Levels Dip, #Fish Face an Uncertain Future
