Europe’s mighty rivers are drying up in the climate-driven drought
Europe’s major rivers are shrinking under the most severe climate-driven drought in decades.

Fate of the East Antarctic ice sheet ‘in our hands’
The fate of the world’s biggest ice sheet rests in the hands of humanity, a new analysis has shown. If global heating is limited to 2C, the vast East Antarctic ice sheet should remain stable, but if the climate crisis drives temperatures higher, melting could drive up sea level by many meters.

Cooperation on climate between the US and China turns soar
After Nancy Pelosi’s recent courageous/provocative trip to Taiwan, the oasis waters have turned to sand as China cancelled all climate talks with the US.

Climate change is making over 200 diseases worse and our immune systems weaker, study finds
More than 58% of human diseases have gotten worse because of climate change, according to a new study, published in Nature Climate Change and was conducted by researchers at Mamoa’s University of Hawaii.
Analysing over 70,000 scientific papers for examples of direct links between known diseases and climate change, the scientists discovered that all of the extreme climatic events made more common and more severe by global warming had an influence on diseases triggered by viruses, bacteria, animals, fungi and plants.

Even modest climate change may lead to major transitions in boreal forests
The survival of southern boreal tree saplings decreases in response to even modest warming and reduced rainfall, which, together with species-specific growth responses, could lead to regeneration failure of currently dominant tree species. More...
Today, we can see with our own eyes what global warming is doing. In that context it becomes truly irresponsible, if not immoral, for us not to do something.
