The researchers found that increased exposure to particulate matter in the air from wildfire smoke raises the risk of a person over 60 being diagnosed with dementia by 18%, Casey said. This exposure can come from longer bouts of exposure during an extended wildfire season or it can come from short but intense bursts during days with particularly bad air quality https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/climate-lab/wildfire-smoke-increases-risk-of-dementia-uw-study-finds/ #health #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #GlobalBurning #pollution #environment #climate

Climate issues catch up with India For more than a month now, the residents of New Delhi – India’s overpopulated capital, home to more than 30 million people – have been suffocating under a cloak of pollution. The city’s air quality index has reached an all-time high, rising well above the 400 mark beyond which prolonged outdoor exposure becomes dangerous to the human body

Oceans emit sulfur and cool the climate more than previously thought University of East Anglia For the first time, researchers have quantified the global emissions of a sulfur gas produced by marine life, revealing that it cools the climate more than previously thought, especially over the Southern Ocean https://phys.org/news/2024-11-oceans-emit-sulfur-cool-climate.html #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #GlobalBurning #ClimateDestruction #ClimateSuicide #MassExtinction #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

We had expected people to turn their backs on this land-devouring force as quickly as possible—but the opposite is the case: those affected remain surprisingly loyal to the river. Even those who have already lost their homes several times usually want to stay in their village at all costs. For many, moving is only a last resort https://phys.org/news/2024-11-climate-mass-migration.html #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #GlobalBurning #ClimateDestruction #MassExtinction #pollution #environment #climate

How billionaire ‘pollutocrats’ are driving our climate crisis – and what we can do about it If everyone used private jets and superyachts like 50 of the world’s richest billionaires, the remaining carbon budget to stay within 1.5C would be burned up in just two days. Nafkote Dabi introduces Oxfam’s new climate report, which spells out how the emissions of the super-rich are driving inequality, hunger and heat-related deaths
