As Global Drought Deepens — Climate Change Kills by a Thousand Cuts — Covering Climate Now

Unlike climate change–fueled hurricanes, floods, and other weather disasters that wreak fast and obvious havoc, drought sneaks into our lives more slowly — eroding the resources needed to live daily life. And with 2026 expected to be the hottest year in recorded history, thanks in part to an extraordinarily powerful El Niño, the coming months will [...]Read More... from As Global Drought Deepens — Climate Change Kills by a Thousand Cuts

A research team led by Professor Seung-Ki Min of the Department of Environmental Engineering at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has found that merely achieving “carbon neutrality” by reducing emissions is not sufficient to significantly reduce extreme wildfire risk. The team argues that active “carbon reduction”-removing carbon dioxide already accumulated in the atmosphere - must be pursued in parallel

Electric delivery truck. This is good news for the climate. This was one of the objectives of the carbon tax in #Canada. By increasing the cost of pollution non-polluting options become cheaper. Dropping the tax was stupid but at this point I guess the change has (probably) become inevitable.

Our analysis shows that on June 17, 2024, the combined effect of heat and humidity breached the survivability threshold for even young, healthy adults for approximately four consecutive hours. During this period, the human body cannot maintain a safe core temperature through sweating alone, making unshaded outdoor exposure life-threatening

YES!! "when they're over five years old and they've degraded down to the point where they're only 80% of their original capacity," Whale says. "What we can do is repurpose those batteries and repack them into larger units that can provide energy storage for off-grid solar systems like mini-grids."

Seventy-eight percent of older adults globally live where heat exceeds survivable thresholds. Millions of grandmothers who cannot sit in their own yards. That is not a policy abstraction. That is a sentence. The land is handing out the bill.
