‘Illegal’ forest service overhaul risks causing ‘chaos’ across US public lands, union claims.

The restructuring will close all regional offices, which manages 193m acres of land, roughly the size of Texas. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

Evolution works over millennia. Climate change is moving far faster.

That mismatch is killing some of the planet’s most vital ecosystems, from California’s towering redwoods to the seagrass meadows along its coast, both of which store vast amounts of carbon and support complex webs of life. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

Scientist use DNA in efforts to help species adapt to climate change

As climate change outpaces the ability of ecosystems to adapt, scientists are turning to conservation genomics to guide restoration. By sequencing DNA, researchers can identify traits better suited to withstand warming, drought and disease. In California, eelgrass and redwoods, which are major carbon sinks, genomic sequencing is helping pinpoint traits linked to resilience, though applications remain largely experimental. Coral restoration, however, is already using these tools to breed and transplant more heat tolerant colonies. Experts caution genomics is no substitute for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

After a 'Windy' start to Trumps' first year- Wind power bounces back.

Construction of the nation’s first five major wind farms along the eastern seaboard can continue. When complete, the wind farms will generate enough electricity to power well over 2 million homes. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

There’s hope for the offshore wind industry — yes, really

Trump’s court losses give the industry a chance to get back on stable footing.

A More Troubling Picture of Sea Level Rise Is Coming into View.

Scientists have uncovered a “blind spot” in the research on rising seas, revealing that tens of millions of people thought safe from coastal flooding are at risk of inundation. Across much of the world, sea levels are higher than previously assumed and land is sinking faster. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

i try to emphasize good news

and if i can't do that i try to emphasize anger over sadness

but there's nothing i can do about this bit of news except be depressed:

"Mass drowning of chicks puts emperor #penguins at risk of #extinction"

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/09/mass-drowning-of-chicks-puts-emperor-penguins-at-risk-of-extinction

essentially, #globalWarming, the #climateCrisis, is breaking up the ice the #emperorPenguin depends upon to raise its young, and this is resulting in mass killings of their young now

Mass drowning of chicks puts emperor penguins at risk of extinction

Record low levels of Antarctic sea ice is having grim consequences for penguins yet to grow waterproof feathers
