Climate change is making plants less nutritious − that could already be hurting animals that are grazers

Rising carbon dioxide levels in the air are making plants grow larger and faster, but diluting their nutritional content. This could threaten the h...

Many people think of the ocean like a bathtub — turn on the faucet, and water levels rise everywhere. As the planet warms and ice melts, they assume that the ocean might act in the same way. Sea level rise, however, is very uneven. Thanks to a complex set of factors, water levels are not rising at the same speed everywhere. And these factors have made the U.S. South particularly vulnerable https://archive.ph/JrlRc #USA #US #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

This is what happens when tropical cyclones collide The Australian Bureau of Meteorology describes this interaction as rare These types of convergences are one of the most extreme interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere on Earth. But with the number and intensity of tropical cyclones increasing because of global warming, understanding their impacts has become more important than ever https://cosmosmagazine.com/news/what-happens-tropical-cyclones-collide/ #Australia #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #pollution #environment #climate

If the United States were to continue exporting liquefied natural gas in the way that has made it the world’s biggest gas supplier, the study by the Energy Department found, it could drive up energy costs in America by further exposing the domestic market to international pricing. It could also increase pollution in coastal communities where export terminals are built & create more global greenhouse gas emissions https://archive.ph/wip/MrdZt

Gas Exports Pose Some Risks to U.S. Economy and Environment, Study Says (Published 2024)

The long-awaited study was criticized by the oil and gas industry and could help environmental groups that want to stop new export terminals.

‘We have got so little time left in order to say what we can of a liveable future for our kids, & so they're just displaying the creatures that have already gone extinct and the fact that we are playing with death ‘They signify death, they signify a hotter world, they signify the end of civilisation as we know it

Scientists can now predict how climate change will alter plant growth cycles The breakthrough was sparked by the rediscovery of an old 19th-century report containing thousands of detailed phenological observations for plants and animals throughout the eastern United States Using these historical growth patterns as a starting point, the authors tested the accuracy of their equations https://phys.org/news/2024-12-scientists-climate-growth.html #USA #US #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #MassExtinction #ecology #environment #climate
