"Environmental laws exist for a reason – to protect our health and safety, the clean air and water we rely on, and the nature that makes Canada unique. Dismantling decades worth of legal protections to speed up development and putting these important values at risk is not a path to true prosperity."

Stretching from West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico, a massive bloom of sargassum seaweed is swamping beaches and killing coastal wildlife. But scientists have discovered the floating algae also shelters a vast array of ocean creatures, and some are now calling for its protection. Read more on E360 →

UN: “We’ve seen mass evacuations. Power stations closed. And trade routes choked. Crops lost. Yields down. And food prices up – and set to rise further.”
”To be soft on climate action is to be soft on inflation, and the cost of living, soft on sovereignty and security, and soft on economic growth and jobs. The fossil fuel crisis is also pushing up the costs of government borrowing, meaning less fiscal space to deliver vital services that populations need and expect.”

Unaccounted climate feedback loops may amplify warming by 20–30% this century, but cutting emissions will reduce risks
Even once #emissions from human activities reach net-zero, #GreenhouseGas feedbacks could still add an estimated 0.2°C (1 standard deviation: ±0.2°C) of warming by 2100 under a stronger climate action scenario (SSP1-2.6). Under a scenario with higher emissions (SSP4-6.0), they could add an estimated 0.4°C (1 standard deviation: ±0.2°C) by 2100.
Critically, these warming-induced emissions remain largely absent from most Earth system models used to estimate the response of temperature to anthropogenic emissions. This means that current climate projections likely underestimate future warming.

"Carney has once again taken a wrecking ball to Canada’s environmental safeguards and climate progress. Many of his moves since coming to power have been done quietly, to avoid the public backlash that these environmental rollbacks rightfully deserve. Such is the case with the amendments tabled this morning in stealth."
"There was no forewarning of this decision. No press release. No press conference."

Mark Carney's "latest attack on Canada’s hard-fought environmental rules came in the form of a quiet posting in the Canada Gazette which announced that some of the country’s most polluting projects will no longer be reviewed under the country’s Impact Assessment Act. This includes the country’s largest carbon bombs: oil and gas pipelines (including in national parks), in situ oil sands extraction and fossil gas plants."
"If the Prime Minister proceeds, nature will suffer, species could be driven to extinction and climate disasters will continue to become more severe, deadly and expensive — all while project decision-making becomes less transparent, less evidence-based and more politicized."

NOAA data show unprecedented heat across the contiguous U.S., as deepening drought, shrinking reservoirs, and a severe wildfire season underscore the growing impacts of a warming climate.

I think that advertisements promoting holidays in far-away exotic destinations requiring taking long-haul flights to get there need to be banned, or at least restricted, given the state of climate emergency that we are currently in. #EUpol #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis

Spent a chunk of today co-hosting a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing at work. Although I’d already seen it, I still felt quite emotional in putting it on. So important to discuss the #ClimateCrisis with colleagues afterwards.

"Overlooked Climate Feedback Loops Could Make Global Warming 30% Worse
A new study reveals that warming-induced greenhouse gas emissions are amplifying global temperature rise at an alarming rate.
As humanity pumps the atmosphere full of carbon emissions, rising global temperatures are fueling rampant wildfires, permafrost melt, wetland warming, and other phenomena that produce even more emissions. Scientists know that these feedback loops are exacerbating climate change, but most models fail to account for them. A new study reveals just how dangerous that gap may be.
(. . .)
Some climate feedbacks, such as the rising amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or the ocean’s diminishing ability to absorb carbon, are relatively well-represented in climate models, according to the new study. However, warming-induced emissions are not.
These emissions stem from the impacts of human-driven warming. Thawing permafrost and warming wetlands release CO2 and methane, while wildfires burn through the carbon stored in forests. These processes, therefore, amplify global warming, and yet they have been largely overlooked.
To determine whether this gap has led scientists to underestimate warming projections and overestimate remaining carbon budgets, researchers used a reduced-complexity climate model to quantify the combined impact of four major feedbacks for both CO2 and methane emissions: permafrost thaw, wildfires, wetlands, and inland waters. Previous research has shown that rising global temperatures increase emissions from each of these sources, but this study appears to be the first major effort to understand how much they amplify global warming.
The findings are staggering. Even if humanity achieved net-zero emissions, greenhouse gas feedbacks could still lead to an additional 0.4 degrees F (0.2 degrees C) of warming by the end of the century. Global emissions are nowhere near net-zero, and if they continue at their current rate, these feedbacks could lead to an additional 0.5 degrees F (0.3 degrees C) of warming by 2100."

"Himalaya's 'glacier bankruptcy' threatens water supply for 2 bil. people
Experts stress rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to avoid bigger catastrophes.

A houseboat is left stranded on the dry riverbed of the Jhelum River in Kashmir, in this undated photo. Captured from Article 14In November 2023, Indian investigative news outlet Article 14 published an in-depth report highlighting the crisis facing Himalayan glaciers. Due to global warming, rainfall in Srinagar, Kashmir, fell to just 9.5 millimeters in August, an 87.63 percent drop from the normal 76.8 millimeters. September rainfall was also only 20 millimeters, 73.33 percent below the average of 75 millimeters.
The outlet issued a stark warning: 'Glaciers are shrinking across the Himalayan mountain range, and only scattered patches of white snow remain at the foothills where ice once covered the landscape.'
The suffering of local residents was conveyed in vivid detail. Particularly striking were photographs of the Jhelum River, once fed by melting glacier water, reduced to a dry riverbed. Houseboats that had floated on the Jhelum for more than a century were left stranded on the riverbed, while residents waded into the parched river to catch fish.
'From apple harvests, a major source of local income, to drinking water, electricity supplies and livelihoods, everything has begun to suffer as Himalayan glaciers shrink,' Article 14 reported."

Why would they advise to plant more trees yet they are not protecting the ones that were planted before?

Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us
Dear Senator / Representative:
You must speak out about the politicization of climate change.
The United States just recorded its hottest summer and warmest August in 131 years of record keeping, beating the benchmark set with the 1936 Dust Bowl. In August, Lake Mead reached its lowest water level since it was filled about 90 years ago, as the Colorado River remains over-committed.
Globally, ocean temperatures hit a record high in August, foreshadowing a super El Nino climate pattern.
Meanwhile, this Republican Administration is actively glorifying petroleum products and ignoring alternative energy sources.
The administration’s FY2027 budget request seeks to cut the National Science Foundation budget by 55% and eliminate NOAA’s climate research arm entirely. These requests ignore that Congress rejected similar cuts to FY2026 funding just months ago.
Please::
-Make it clear that we must acknowledge climate change is real.
-Introduce a bill boosting research related to mitigating climate change.
-Make it clear that the U.S. will honor its Paris Accord agreements.
-Decry this Republican administration’s war on science and love affair with oil.Thank you.

The second headline on the #ClimateCrisis is less encouraging - because our business "leaders" and politicians fear making the necessary changes. In spite of knowing HOW to rapidly #ElectrifyEverything, the #LemmingsInCharge are leading us into disaster.
(And I apologize for the slur on lemmings, they do not blindly follow each other in mass suicide events. Are they smarter than we are?)
