New research from South Korea has found that for every 1°C increase in average annual atmospheric temperature (from the average temperature in the 1961–1990 period, due to climate change), the odds of having at least moderate depressive symptoms increased by 13%. These increases were 14% for adults between 19 and 40 years of age and 15% for participants who had lived in the same metropolitan area for 20 years or more #spy #SouthKorea #ClimateChange #environment #climate

first time in Canadian history, the country’s insured damage from severe weather events exceeded $8 billion in 2024. According to Catastrophe Indices and Quantification Inc. (CatIQ), this figure shattered the previous record of $6 billion in 2016, following the Fort McMurray wildfires. The 2024 total is nearly triple the total insured losses recorded in 2023 and 12 times the annual average of $701 million in the decade between 2001 and 2010.
