" seeing surge of climate-related power outages, report says

Power in the US are surging, as climate-related strain an already burdened energy .

Over the last decade, severe outages increased by 74% compared with the previous 10 years.

High , , winter storms and tropical including , accounted for 80% of all power interruptions over the last 20 years, a new report from non-profit research group Climate Central shows."

I am looking for good examples of contributing to in , , or (yep, the big 3!).
I am also interested in examples where it contributed to helping . Any help appreciated!

"In the MIT study, researchers created a model using satellite imagery to predict how a 3C (5.4F) increase in global temperatures will impact the worlds oceans, specifically with regard to the growth and interaction of different types of phytoplankton species."

I went to a local climate assembly meeting last night. Like similar events Ive been to, I came away reflecting on the fact that we vegans are pushing on locked doors behind which the rooms are full of people with their fingers stuck in their ears & who are covering their eyes so they cant see the billions of sentient beings being harmed in a food production system that is a major contributor to .

I'm afraid that selfishness, ignorance and incompetence to change behavioral patterns will cause humanity to postpone radical action until disaster and war will solve the crisis we're causing, decimating humanity, flora and fauna. It's a dire prediction, but at the moment I can't see a different outcome. Apparently, the shit needs to hit the fan before humans wake up too late.

our main huge river system, its ecology, health and flow (the Murray- Darling) is in crisis. Due to extraction by agriculture and all forms of mining, including fossil fuel extraction. So is the huge artesian basin for the same reasons. The fact that is a water poor count is just one of the myriad reasons why nuclear power a terrible idea.

Anjana Ahuja quite correct here, we should try to reduce emissions as much as possible. But we're also going to need to learn to adapt to

Woodside shareholders unlikely to back climate action plan, company bosses warn
By Keane Bourke

Woodside is being forced to defend its climate transition plan, with the gas giant's bosses saying it's unlikely to win the support of its own shareholders.

Tutto molto intelligente ci che scritto nell'articolo. Che parte dal presupposto che le persone siano razionali e abbiano un orizzonte temporale pi lungo delle vacanze estive. La crisi climatica ci sta rendendo tutti pi poveri, ma continuiamo a far finta di nulla

Peter Dutton continues to spread toxic pro-nuclear lies constantly amplified by the Murdoch Press.

Despite staunch community opposition to radioactive waste dumps. And despite the big companies joining experts to oppose Dutton's plan for slow, expensive nuclear reactors which would delay the transition from polluting coal & gas to clean renewable energy.

And a planet at stake, not just a civilization or two.

It's true: it's a lifestyle that only a privileged few (well... privileged many in Canada) can do due to cost and access.

But this is fundamentally the same question as climate change and Gaza and Ukraine and any government program: shouldn't we be subsidizing the ethical choices

California has proposed comprehensive and science-driven nature-based solutions (NBS) climate targets. These solutions harness the power of nature to remove and store carbon from the atmosphere, buffer climate impacts, and build Californias resilience to future climate-driven extremes.

WA's greenhouse gas emissions continue to climb above 2005 levels despite net zero pledge

> As Australia works towards net zero by 2050, the latest data shows WA, a state reliant on the resources sector for its economic prosperity, continues to struggle mightily in its efforts to decarbonise.

Words matter, "struggle mightly" should read "fails miserably", Shane on the journalist. You either reduce emissions, or you fail to reduce emsisions, increasing them and saying " aww shucks" doesn't cut it.

That said, I see nothing happening in Australia that indicates we've even started to accept the changes that will be needed (Degrowth), not doing so just means nature will decide, not that we can avoid it.

Shame on voters for not voting Green and for continuing to destroy the biosphere and helping make an unlivable planet.
