"The #chancellor’s own calculations are off if she attaches no #economicvalue to #nature. In one #scientificstudy that tried to quantify the economic contribution of #wildlife, #researchers found that losing pest-eating #bats in North American #farmland would cost farmers several billions of dollars in #croplosses."

"The ‘weather whiplash’ fuelling the Los Angeles fires is becoming more common"
The kind of weather whiplash that fueled the fires is only becoming more common, and not just in the United States. A new analysis in the peer-reviewed academic journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment has found that rapid shifts between heavy rain and drought (and vice versa) are becoming more intense — and the trend is unfolding faster than climate models have projected.
The #MekongDelta faces #Saltwater intrusion every year, but more intense hot weather and rising sea levels -- both driven by #ClimateChange -- are increasing the risk.
The delta, which provides food and livelihoods for tens of millions of people, faces nearly $3 billion a year in #CropLosses as more #saltwater seeps into arable land. #RisingSeas

The damage would likely centre on the #MekongDelta region, known as "#Vietnam's rice bowl" because it provides food and livelihoods for tens of millions of people, research from the country's environment ministry showed. #RisingSeas #FoodSecurity #Salinisation
