#KittenSeason is out of control. Are #WarmerWinters to blame?
The trend is bad news for shelters and #wildlife alike.
by Sachi Mulkey
Mar 18, 2024"Across the United States, summer is the height of 'kitten season,' typically defined as the warm-weather months between spring and fall during which a cat becomes most fertile. For over a decade, #AnimalShelters across the country have noted kitten season starting earlier and lasting longer. Some experts say the effects of #ClimateChange, such as milder winters and an earlier start to spring, may be to blame for the uptick in feline birth rates."

As Price Of #OliveOil Soars, Chainsaw-Wielding Thieves Target Mediterranean's Century-Old #OliveTrees
By Associated Press, November 8, 2023
"In an olive grove on the outskirts of #Athens, grower Konstantinos Markou pushes aside the shoots of new growth to reveal the stump of a tree — a roughly 150-year-old specimen, he said, that was among 15 cut down on his neighbor's land by thieves eager to turn it into money.
"Surging olive oil prices, driven in part by two years of #drought in #Spain, has meant opportunity for criminals across the Mediterranean. Warehouse break-ins, dilution of premium oil with inferior product, and falsification of shipping data are on the rise in #olive-growing heartlands of #Greece, #Spain and #Italy. And perhaps worst of all: Gangs using chainsaws to steal heavily laden branches and even entire trees from unguarded groves.
"'The olive robbers can sometimes produce more oil than the owners themselves – seriously,' Markou said, before heading off to patrol his own grove at nightfall.
"The crimes mean fewer olives for growers already contending with high production costs and #ClimateChange that has brought #WarmerWinters, major #flooding and more intense #ForestFires. In Italy’s southern #Puglia region, growers are pleading with police to form an agriculture division. Greek farmers want to bring back a rural police division that was phased out in 2010. In Spain, a company has developed tracking devices that look like olives to try and catch thieves."

#WarmerWinters and vanishing snow breed #ClimateGrief by Stuart Braun

"#Temperature records this northern winter will increase #ecological grief and anxiety for people living in once snowy regions. But could these feelings spur #ClimateAction?" ( I rather doubt it since #Coal just won, again, in Germany. It will take millions and millions of #protesters and #strikers to make an impact.) -
