Election season is underway in scorching temperatures but in spite of repeated extreme climate scenes, voters still don't demand climate accountability
Does anyone know what these wee lumps are? I see so many of them on coastal walks around #Scotland. Always on the skyline and near the top of grass-covered rocky outcrops. They seem to be similarly sized - a few inches in diameter and a few inches high
I've asked plenty of people who are generally knowledgeable about nature, but none of them know what causes them. Some interesting speculation, though
Central to this verdict was the Court’s decision to lift a ban on overhead power lines spanning 99,000 square kilometres in parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan. The ban aimed to protect these endangered birds but was deemed counterproductive to India’s transition to clean energy, particularly wind and solar power, which is crucial for global climate action and fulfilling the energy needs of Indian citizens
The number of individual birds found at the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve has dropped by half, according to a study published earlier this year.
Other studies have shown a similar trend in preserved rainforests, pointing to habitat deterioration and pesticides as the usual causes of widespread bird decline in the Northern Hemisphere, but this does not explain the phenomenon in tropical sites.

The era of “global boiling” is here, sending shivers down young worker’s spines. But instead of sitting with their anxiety, Gen Z and millennials are trying to save the planet by quitting jobs that aren’t eco-friendly.
'Woodcock’s entries in the Lords’ register of interests show he is paid to act as the chair of the Purpose Business Coalition, an organisation run by the PR and lobbying firm Crowne Associates, which counts the oil company #BP and the arms company #Leonardo among its clients.'
Microsoft has increased carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 30 percent since 2020, making its goal of becoming carbon-negative by 2030 even more difficult, and it looks like AI is to blame.
It is so depressing. OK, the speed limits is as much a statement of intent as a meaningful measure (ave you ever tried driving in the Netherlands), but depressing ostrich like behaviour all the same.
John Woodcock, whose review proposes bans for protest groups, has lobbying links to firms in arms and fossil fuel sectors.
Conflict of interest? Really? No doing the wishes of the #Conservative#maladministration and their corporate sponsors. New party slogan ‘bugger the environment’.
How human hair can help tackle challenges associated with climate change
The industry consumes a massive amount of water. According to the World Research Institute, it takes 700 gallons to produce just one cotton shirt when compared to the human hair method, which uses no water
Portland’s climate tax could fund energy-efficiency upgrades for 3,100 homes
Portland’s climate action fund is preparing to invest $140 million toward 3,100 home retrofits over the next five years.

170 Bison Herd Could Offset CO2 Equal To 2 Million Cars, Study Finds
Researchers studying bison in Romania find that a herd of 170 bison could store an amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to taking nearly 2 million cars off the road for a year
Majority of Singaporeans aware of net zero concept, but less clear on national climate targets: study
Research finds that only 15 per cent of respondents know of the city-state’s goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Singaporeans also lack understanding of the types of action – for example, switching to a plant-based diet – that can bring about larger impact on cutting emissions
“Unprecedented” – CO2 Rising 10 Times Faster Than Any Time in Recorded History
Recent research indicates that the current rate of atmospheric CO2 increase is unprecedented, being ten times faster than any period in the last 50,000 years, highlighting significant implications for global climate dynamics and future CO2 absorption capabilities of the Southern Ocean
