How a Changing Climate Is Reshaping the Spread of Infectious Diseases
"...Then you have this convergence of crises—the #ClimateCrisis overlapping with the #PollutionCrisis. So you get this intersection between air pollution and respiratory #diseases, and then infectious diseases more broadly, all layered on top of a changing #climate.
When it comes to waterborne and foodborne diseases, the link to #ClimateChange is even more direct. As temperatures rise, you create more favorable conditions for #bacteria and other #pathogens to multiply. They thrive in warm environments—soil, water, contaminated areas—so warming can increase their abundance.
#ExtremeWeather events are also a big factor here. Aedes #mosquitoes need water to complete their life cycle—from egg to larva to pupa, it all happens in #water. When #floods occur, all the discarded #plastic and #trash lying around fill with water and becomes the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.
What’s interesting is that these diseases aren’t just associated with floods—they’re also linked to #droughts. That might seem counterintuitive at first, but in many parts of the world, people don’t have safe, reliable access to clean water, especially during drought conditions. So they store water in containers that aren’t properly sealed or protected, which too can become the perfect breeding sites for mosquitoes.
Infections—particularly vector-borne diseases—are increasingly reemerging and emerging in new areas around the world for a lot of different reasons. Climate change is definitely part of that, with rising temperatures and more extreme weather events like floods and droughts. But the way we live our lives and interact with the environment also plays a huge role. I mean, first and foremost, most of us now live in urban areas rather than rural ones..."

😢 Poor axolotl! This article laments the fate of these little water critters, but fails to mention they've been dodging extinction longer than most Twitter accounts survive. 🌍 Meanwhile, Basilio's net skills could give a TED talk on catching nothing but pollution! 🎣

Microplastics Found in Unlikely Places !
Microplastics have spread to surprising locations: human placentas, ancient rocks, clogged arteries, blue whales, baby poop, Antarctica, near Mount Everest's peak, the ocean floor, and now even testicles.
The pervasive reach of these tiny pollutants is truly alarming. #Microplastics #EnvironmentalImpact #PollutionCrisis #pollution #plasticpollution

@Andy_Scollick it's taken forever to get climate change on the map, and many have had their backs turned. As you know, it's not even (yet) the most serious of the planetary boundary breaches. I think these two images capture the essence of the problem.
