Research reveals hidden ocean heat waves threatening South China Sea ecosystems

The South China Sea (SCS), a vital marine region supporting rich biodiversity, productive fisheries, and extensive coral reefs, faces growing threats from marine heat waves (MHWs). While surface MHWs have drawn attention, subsurface events—intense warming below the ocean surface—during boreal winter have been less studied, yet they can disrupt deeper-dwelling species and ecosystem stability in this semi-enclosed sea.

From fire to flood, how climate change contributed to summer of whiplash weather
By Tyne Logan

Scientists warn sharp swings from extreme heat to flooding this summer signal climate change is overtaking other weather drivers.

From fire to flood, how climate change contributed to summer of whiplash weather

Scientists warn sharp swings from extreme heat to flooding rain experienced over summer are a sign climate change is overtaking other weather drivers.

Quick list:
1. Added insulation to the attic. Houses of this era were under-insulated
2. Added radiant barrier under the roof struts. Adds additional heatwave resistance
3. Added radiant barrier above garage (enclosed roof)
4. Solar panels on roof (which also helps providing roof shading)
5. Repainted house with ceramic, heat reflecting paint (ceramic bead technology)
6. Changed out single pane windows (earlier), and changed out some double paned windows for new, more efficient (Arizona heat rated) windows to prevent heat from entering.
7. Patched bad/missing insulation in the walls
8. Put insulating covers on all light/power outlets
9. Replaced extremely leaky, warped wood front door with brand new door

A habitable climate?

Australian governments subsidising fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute, analysis finds

"Australian federal and state government subsidies that encourage fossil fuel use and help drive the climate crisis will reach $16.3bn this year after leaping by nearly 10%, according to a new analysis."

"It found federal and state governments will pay or forgo the equivalent of $31,020 each minute in 2025-26 to subsidise companies producing and using coal, gas and especially oil, mostly in the form of diesel." >>

How much have our summers changed over three generations?

“What we’re seeing now is the rate in which the climate is changing is faster than any part of our Earth system can keep up with — our plants, our animals, our infrastructure, us." >>

Australian governments subsidising fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute, analysis finds

Australia Institute data finds state and federal subsidies for coal, gas and oil products increased 10% in past year, growing at a faster pace than funding to NDIS

Planetary warming has significantly accelerated over the past 10 years, with temperatures rising at a higher rate since 2015 than in any previous decade on record, a new study showed. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/03/07/climate-change/earth-warming-study/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #heatwaves #emissions
Earth is warming faster than previously estimated, new study shows

The Earth warmed around 0.35 degrees Celsius in the decade to 2025, compared to just under 0.2 C per decade on average between 1970 and 2015.
