Documenting coral bleaching

Bleached coral

A new study found four of seven world ocean basins have crossed the planetary boundary for ocean acidification, 40% of ocean surface waters, and 60% of subsurface water to 660’.

Wildfires can spark and spread fast.

That’s why it’s important to know two or more ways out of your neighborhood before evacuations are ordered. Make time to talk with your household about how to get out.

Plan for pets, young children, elderly family members, and anyone who may need extra help.

Factory farms don’t just stink — they make it harder to breathe, too New maps show that where animal feeding operations exist, higher percentages of Latino and uninsured residents also live.

New research out this week underscores what many environmental justice advocates in the U.S. have long argued: factory farming pollutes the air, and these environmental impacts are disproportionately felt by nearby communities, who are often people of color.

We have had solutions for decades but they are unacceptable to elite
Stop deforestation, destroying wetlands, polluting ocean
Ration air flying
Eat veg not meat
Have less children
End fossil fuels
Stop growing economies and grow nature
Take power away from elite
Otherwise life will crumble on E

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

HARSH HEAT IN JAPAN again

The new week starts with temperatures up to 39.2C at Toyota: It's the beginning of a new heat wave with temperatures close to 40C the whole week with high humidity and hot nights.
Records might fall in some areas.
Stay tuned

Invasive ticks have scientists spooked about new diseases — National Geographic Over 100 new tick species have entered the U.S. in the last 50 years. Scientists say it's just the beginning.

Invasive ticks are spreading, bringing new disease risks. Climate change plays a role—but so does 150 years of catastrophic bird loss and broader biodiversity collapse. Fewer predators = more ticks. Nature’s balance sheet is in the red.

Glacier lake outburst at Alaska's Mendenhall Glacier causes record-breaking flooding One of Alaska's most populated cities is bracing for potentially catastrophic flooding as a basin dammed within the Mendenhall Glacier has started to release water.

Evacuations in Alaska after glacial melt raises fears of record flooding 15 billion gallon glacial lake
Glaciers around the world lost an estimated 7,211 billion tons of ice between 2000 and 2023, equating to an average annual loss of 301 billion tons,

Yes and We don't have enough people educated about how to help fund our top 100 solutions in the trillions yet!

Many are doing all the can to educate, communicate and help fund yet we need more people to know we must fund in the trillions exponentially for decades now!

A study predicted huge climate damages. But it had a fatal flaw: Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan’s erroneous data dramatically changed the results of a study on global climate damages.

A study predicted economic damages from climate change 3x higher than previous assessments. But it was flawed -- all thanks to the data from just one country.

I dug into this strange study and the researchers calling it out:

Has NSF defied a court order by suspending 300 UCLA grants? Federal judge to hear arguments relating to preliminary injunction to restore funding for other UC grants

A federal judge in California wants NSF to explain why its decision to freeze 300 grants to scientists at UCLA isn’t a violation of her earlier ruling in another case that such blanket grant terminations are probably illegal. scim.ag/4fnlgei

We planted over 700,000 trees on July 31st, mainly from Ethiopia. TreeGens on X organized it with Jimi Cohen the Founder leading the way.

The International Court of Justice’s recent ruling—that states must protect people from the “urgent and existential threat” of climate change—is an important step forward. But such decisions only matter if governments act on them with urgency and accountability.

Forget carbon neutral, Northwestern develops carbon NEGATIVE concrete The quest for carbon-neutral concrete has become a billion-dollar endeavor – but a team of scientists from Northwestern gas gone one better.

Concrete is responsible for between 5 and 10% of global carbon emissions.
Now Northwestern University have made a game changing break through and created carbon negative concrete

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

What fracking is doing to the Earth—and to our bodies Beneath layers of ancient rock, a high-pressure process is reshaping the modern energy landscape. As fracking expands across the globe, so does the growing debate around its impact.

Great new explainer on the harms of fracking from National Geographic with summary of the newest science, research findings from from methane expert @profbobhowarth.bsky.social and quotes from me: “fracking is a public health crisis.” Yes, it is.
