“force over-reaction” yeah OK

Whales are now ‘sharing’ food amid shortages due to climate change Whales in the North Atlantic appear to be adjusting their behaviour to coexist and divide food resources among themselves as climate crisis and human pressures reshape ocean ecosystems, according to a...

Researchers studying fin, humpback, and minke whales in the Gulf of St Lawrence have found that the animals are eating more fish and less krill than they did in the past. Scientists say the shift could be a result of growing competition for prey as warming waters disrupt marine food supplies.

Multilateralism doesn’t work well without diplomats

This is an awesome opportunity! Need more students on bluesky to spread the word.

Maddening. Canada lost over 150 soldiers in Afghanistan. Operation Medusa in Kandahar was the largest Canadian military operation since the Korean War.

Plastic waste has become a household fuel in the world’s poorest cities Plastic is everywhere. It wraps food, carries water, and shows up in every corner of daily life.

Plastic isn’t just waste.
In many of the world’s poorest cities, it’s fuel.

Burning plastic releases toxic smoke; not just CO₂, but chemicals that damage lungs, hormones, and immune systems.

This is what material overshoot looks like at ground level.

Planet Enters Era of ‘Global Water Bankruptcy,’ UN Report Says The planet’s water reserves are overstretched and polluted, pushing the warming world into a dangerous condition of “water bankruptcy,” argues a new UN University report. This is not an alarm bell for...

She fought forIndigenous voices at the UN. Now she’s in a Russian jail cell. Observers say Daria Egereva’s case highlights the risks Native advocates face when they challenge the powerful.

Russian authorities have detained an Indigenous climate advocate, accusing her of participating in a terrorist organization in what international observers are calling “retribution” for her United Nations advocacy on behalf of Indigenous peoples.

Many people think about cold in Northern Europe if the Atlantic Ocean current system #AMOC fails. But that wouldn’t be the only problem for Europe by far.
This new study shows that severe drought is another one. 🌊

Not good at all

The thing about solar geoengineering is that once you start you cannot stop *ever* unless somehow you have already removed all the multi-billions of tons of carbon emitted since the day you started.

If you stop at the higher CO2 concentration you get virtually instantaneous catastrophic heating.
