hazardous waste facilities found them at risk of damage from climate-related events such as flooding and hurricanes. Some are in the six-state Great Lakes region, including ones near southern Lake #Michigan According to the study, there are more than 700 treatment, storage and waste facilities in the U.S., 68% of which are at risk of a climate hazard such as wildfires, storm surges and rising sea levels, which can be exacerbated by climate change https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/study-warns-of-climate-risks-to-hazardous-waste-facilities,117994 #GreatLakes #USA #US
This year, Europe's potato farmers have encountered a series of challenges, starting with a limited seed supply that led to increased seed prices. Compounded by weather conditions, heavy rainfall delayed both the planting and harvesting phases. Research indicates that climate change is intensifying the hydrological cycle, exacerbating extreme precipitation events, and enhancing flood risks, which impacts agricultural activities
