We found that members of parliament deploy the same language of pragmatism to defend fossil fuel companies and to insist to their constituents that nothing needs to change too fast. The paradox, of course, is that more urgent social and economic change is precisely what the world’s climate scientists say is necessary to avert climate breakdown

With NASA's latest images now confirming the complete vanishing of Lake Urmia, the "blue jewel" of northwestern Iran has transitioned from a living, breathing ecosystem into a stark and tragic historical landmark—a potent symbol of the devastating consequences of environmental mismanagement & climate change https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/story/862270/lake-urmia-has-become-part-of-history-report-declares-as-nasa-images-confirm-complete-disappearance #Iran #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #UpheavalClimate #GlobalBurning #ClimateDestruction #MassExtinction #pollution #environment #climate
Solar Production Faces Climate Challenges Solar production fell across parts of the U.S. Midwest and Southeast in August. Canadian smoke drifted south and cut sunlight. At the same time, tropical systems over the Atlantic spread thick cloud cover across the Southeast. These patterns pushed monthly irradiance below average in many counties

The team discovered the North American continent creates a heating centre in summer. This then creates atmospheric ripple effects, which strengthens the North Pacific subtropical high-pressure system and widens the north Hadley cell. This enhanced anticyclone pushes stronger westward flows toward Asia, causing a deeper convection and bringing more moisture from the ocean, thus intensifying rainfall over East and South Asia https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1097155 #Tibet #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Climate
