Giant ‘heat storms’ are scorching the Earth. This is the story of the biggest one on record. Supersized heat waves used to be rare. No longer. A Reuters data-driven examination of global temperatures reveals the emergence of what we call ‘heat storms.’ They now swarm the planet, upending life around the world from Texas to Ivory Coast to Poland. To continue calling such sprawling phenomena “heat waves” would be like calling a monsoon a rain shower. reuters.com/investigates/spe…

Dear citizens of Mumbai , What are you afraid of ? You got literal l poop in drinking water, and poison in the air. Poison kills life, what’s worse than death ? Why does the richest civic body in the world @mybmc think they can GET AWAY by doing this to you ? There’s like 3 CMs, what is the plan of action for air? You’ve always had terrible roads, now you have shit air and water too. Why do you pay so much tax to die via slow poisoning ? Mumbai contributes so much tax to the centre, what does it get in return? 7500 more trees are supposed to be cut. Why should a handful of environmentalists be constantly raising their voice for you? Are you cowards ? Why have you outsourced all courage to the young ? Ask questions, raise your voice! You don’t deserve this !

There is some absolutely wonderful news about the comeback of mangroves around the world. For those who missed the recent news, mangrove forests, once considered among the world’s most threatened coastal ecosystems, are showing signs of recovery. A study based on four decades of satellite data, published in the journal Science @Sciencemagazine, finds that global mangrove area has shifted from net loss to net gain since around 2010. After decades of losses driven by deforestation and coastal development, mangroves are expanding in many regions, largely through natural regeneration and colonisation of newly formed coastal areas. Mangrove forests lost nearly 2,900 square kilometres between the 1980s and 2010. Between 2010 and 2023, they regained a net 2,033 square kilometres, leaving an estimated net decline of just 0.5% over the entire study period, a much smaller loss than previously estimated. Restoration efforts and natural processes are helping this recovery. Mangroves are reclaiming abandoned aquaculture ponds and spreading across coastal mudflats, especially in river deltas where sediment creates favourable growing conditions. These forests protect coastlines, support fisheries and store carbon. Losses continue in some regions, but this recovery offers real hope. The study’s message is clear, stop deforestation,protect & plant more mangroves #Mangroves #Climatewarriors #climateaction

Humanity spends almost $6trillion trying to get rid of itself and 1,7 trillion in making us avoid learning ie dumber but 'more efficient'. Thanks Sasja Beslik for sharing this diagram..
