Juste 2 % des terres suffiraient à protéger la moitié des zones inondables habitées Préserver ne serait-ce que 5 % des bassins versants canadiens – environ 2 % des terres du pays – permettrait d’aider à protéger plus de la moitié des zones inondables habitées, révèle une étude. Ces solutions naturelles sont négligées, mais gagneraient à être intégrées dans les stratégies nationales d’adaptation, d’après son auteur principal #canada #environnement #écologie #Climat

They have some of the lowest temperature thresholds, beyond which their condition would rapidly change, and they also have strong links to other climate tipping points. Despite this, their behavior is not well understood, and more progress is needed in modeling and observation https://phys.org/news/2024-11-illuminates-role-polar-ice-sheets.html #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #GlobalBurning #ClimateDestruction #ClimateSuicide #MassExtinction #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Climate change is taking a toll on Ghana's cocoa crop Cocoa farmers in Ghana are hoping new farming techniques and better fall weather will help reverse decreased crop yields. Smaller harvests due to climate change have resulted in rising chocolate prices and fewer growers. #Ghana #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #GlobalBurning #ClimateDestruction #ClimateSuicide #MassExtinction #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
«Quand on regarde les définitions qui sont mises de l’avant, certains pays veulent juste que la pollution réfère au plastique qui existe déjà dans l'environnement et non pas aux émissions qui sont produites tout au long du cycle de vie du plastique», alors que 90 % de l’empreinte carbone du plastique est générée lors de sa production #plastique #ChangementClimatique #RéchauffementClimatique #SurchauffeIrréversible #pollution #écologie #environnement #Climat
La production mondiale de vin au plus bas en 2024, conséquence du dérèglement climatique La production mondiale de vin devrait tomber en 2024 à son plus bas niveau depuis 1961. Une baisse notable due au dérèglement climatique. La France devrait toutefois garder sa deuxième place du podium des plus gros pays producteurs, après l'Italie et devant l'Espagne #vin #ChangementClimatique #RéchauffementClimatique #ExtinctionDeMasse #pollution #écologie #environnement #Climat
Climate change study shows potato yields could drop by over 50 percent in warmer conditions In a research facility located in the northwest of Beijing, molecular biologist Li Jieping and his team have been examining the effects of climate change on potato yields. They have produced a cluster of seven unusually small potatoes, with one being as tiny as a quail's egg, under simulated conditions of higher temperatures forecasted for the end of the century #food #climate
