  3. From drought to deluge: WMO report highlights increasingly erratic water cycle

    The water cycle has become increasingly erratic and extreme, swinging between deluge and drought, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It highlights the cascading impacts of too much or too little water on economies and society.

    ... the water cycle through excretions and thus into the oceans, affecting the animals (and plants) there.

    Medication residues affect aquatic life. Medication residues have been found in water all over the world, even in oceans where few people live.

    Small concentrations of medications can have a major impact.

  6. #ClimateCrisis ‘wreaking havoc’ on #Earth’s #watercycle
    #GlobalHeating is supercharging storms, #floods and #droughts, affecting entire ecosystems and billions of people
    Rising temperatures, caused by burning #fossilfuels, disrupt #water cycle. Warmer air holds more water vapour, leading to more intense downpours. Warmer seas provide more energy to hurricanes and typhoons. #ClimateChange also increases drought by causing more evaporation from soil, and shifting rainfall. theguardian.com/world/2025/jan

  7. @koen_hufkens @biodiversity from the abstract “.. mean transit times of water through aboveground vegetation vary from ~5 days in croplands to ~18 days in evergreen needleleaf forests, with a global median of 8.1 days. In herbaceous..land-cover types with comparatively low water storage &high seasonal water use, such as grasslands, the water stored in biomass may be.. transiting in less than one day. .. plants store little water compared to other pools..”

  8. "Rising temperatures are changing the way #water moves around our planet, wreaking havoc on the #WaterCycle."

    This leads to both ferocious #floods and devastating #droughts.

    "The real question isn’t if we should do something about it — it’s how quickly we still can."

    news article:

    How light can vaporize water without the need for heat

    Surprising “photomolecular effect” discovered by MIT researchers could affect calculations of climate change and may lead to improved desalination and drying processes.

    Amazing!

    And oddly coincidental since lately I have been doing green kasina meditation and started green light therapy for migraines 3 days ago.
