#Iran Climate crisis or a warning from God? Iranians desperate for answers as water dries up As rainy season fails to bring relief, authorities try cloud seeding – while others across the country pray for a miracle Iran launches cloud seeding operations to induce rainfall as severe drought deepens #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #UpheavalClimate #MassExtermination #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
#COP30 As Greta Thunberg said four years ago, before COP26: Blah blah blah. This is all we hear from our so-called leaders. Words that sound great, but so far have led to no action. The influence of oil company lobbyists and petrostates remains dominant at COP30. Be prepared for more blah, blah, blah #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #UpheavalClimate #GlobalBurning #MassExtermination #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
#Vietna Vietnam's Mekong Delta is under serious threat from climate change. The agricultural region, which produces half of the country’s food supply, is being hit hard by rising sea levels and saltwater intrusion, which devastate rice crops. The landscape is changing, and with it, the delicate balance of an entire ecosystem #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #UpheavalClimate #MassExtermination #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
So can the world quit coal? Yes, I believe we can. Or, as Brazilians say, “Sim, nós podemos.” #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #UpheavalClimate #GlobalBurning #ClimateDestruction #ClimateSuicide #MassExtermination #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
#Toronto It’s unclear if Harnum meant that climate change is driving a change in more or less snow. Either way, he’s right: research shows it’s doing both. “It’s one of these paradoxical things about climate change,” said Kent Moore, a professor of physics at the University of Toronto who specializes in extreme weather events. But a warmer atmosphere also supercharges storms, raising the risk of “Snowmageddon”-type events, research suggests https://archive.ph/A3f9z #ClimateChange #climate

The report suggests adopting a ‘Sustainable Cooling Pathway’, which could reduce emissions to 64 per cent - 2.6 billion tons of CO2e - below the levels expected in 2050. When combined with rapid decarbonization of the global power sector, residual cooling emissions could fall to 97 per cent below business-as-usual levels #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #IrreversibleOverheating #UpheavalClimate #GlobalBurning #MassExtermination #MassAtrocity #pollution #environment #climate

#UK 60% of Britons support net zero Plurality say government is not doing enough on cutting carbon emissions, and only 2% think the government will reach net zero by 2050 However, even among net zero supporters, backing for major carbon reduction policies is often limited Majority of net zero supporters say action on cost of living is a greater priority than cutting carbon emissions #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
The exponentially growing losses and damages from extreme weather events that are undermining the insurance market, are caused both by increasing temperature and the destruction of ecosystems that are protecting us WWF warned that climate change and nature loss are rapidly eroding the foundations of global insurance markets, threatening not only households and businesses but also public finance budgets and a stable economy #ClimateChange #pollution #environment #climate
