Investing in climate adaptation is not just good for the planet, it’s good business | William Ruto and Patrick Verkooijen Climate denialism should not blind investors and governments to the very real opportunities to be found in financing solutions

Africa is proof that investing in climate resilience works – and that it makes good business sense

Arctic Sea Ice Shrinks to Record Winter Low as Earth Heats Up The Arctic Ocean likely had the smallest winter ice cover in 47 years of satellite records this season, with just 5.53 million square miles of sea ice covering the region at its peak on March 22.

Holy crap, someone noticed!

Climate warming and heatwaves accelerate global lake deoxygenation Both long-term climate change and short-term heatwaves have a profound impact on dissolved oxygen levels in global lakes.

Climate warming and heat waves are accelerating global lake deoxygenation, study finds

….leading to the proliferation of “dead zones,” areas characterized by very low dissolved oxygen

The Greenland Sea is undergoing dramatic changes due to climate change, which has altered deep water production in the Northern Hemisphere. This is not just a regional issue—it has global consequences, especially for ocean circulation and carbon absorption.🧪🌊

Natural sequestration of carbon dioxide is in decline: climate change will accelerate The rate of natural sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere by the terrestrial biosphere peaked in 2008. Atmospheric concentrations will rise more rapidly than previously, in proportion to annual CO...
