I'll just leave this right here: The summer of 2024 was the hottest on record, according to the EU's climate change monitor, driven by human-caused global warming and the El Ni?o weather phenomenon.

They’re Sizing Up Earth’s Lungs. It Takes Tape Measures and Tree Climbing The leaves, found only on the highest branches, would help the scientists waiting below identify the species. And that, along with the tree’s exact size (or at least as close as one can approximate a tree’s size) would tell them something very important: how much carbon it contained. ?The team, wearing gumboots caked with mud, were at the beginning of a monthslong process of painstakingly measuring pretty much every woody plant growing on this patch of Amazon rainforest in Colombia, one by one. A census of all 125,000 individual plants with a trunk size at least a centimeter in diameter. Read more...

Bangkok turns to urban forests to beat worsening floods “I remember when I was a young child in Bangkok, we used to sail our boat on the clean floodwater,” says landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom. “Flooding was fun.” But when a tropical storm hit the city of Bangkok in 2011, her opinion of floods changed forever. Residents had to flee their homes and more than 800 people in Thailand lost their lives. “Floods were no longer fun, it moved to fear,” Voraakhom says. Not only has rainfall increased in Voraakhom’s lifetime, but so has the sea level. The densely populated capital is also sinking by up to 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) each year. According to the World Bank, 40% of Bangkok could be flooded by 2030. Read more...

Lack of research as contaminated Yaqui River poses health risks In June, residents of communities along the Yaqui River found various dead tilapia, carp and catfish floating on the banks of the river. According to Guadalupe Flores Maldonado, this was not a singular event. Fish die-offs have been happening for over a month now. Health officials said it was because of the heat, said Maldondo, a local from the Yaqui village of Loma de Bácum. “However, the heat has always been like this here, and there has never been a fish die-off. That makes us suspect that there is contamination.” For generations, the waters of the Yaqui River ran so clean that the Yaqui peoples could fish from its banks and drink safely from the stream. But in recent decades, a large portion of the river has dried up and the little water that remains is contaminated. Read more...
