While I have often talked about eutrophication (high nutrients leading to excess algae production), systems worldwide have also undergone oligotrophication: productivity reduction from nutrient decline or ecosystem changes. While lakes becoming clearer is often viewed positively, this results in food web alterations and loss of culturally and commercially important fisheries. This is often exacerbated by and invasives.

Thanks for sharing this
I'm going to look into more of these videos when I get the chance.

Planetary warming has significantly accelerated over the past 10 years, with temperatures rising at a higher rate since 2015 than in any previous decade on record, a new study showed.

Highlight Conflicting Interests: For an issue to be political, people need to see that there are competing interests. Making the fossil economy and those who benefit from it visible helps people feel the righteous anger needed for action.

Move Beyond Individual Guilt: While individual actions matter, the study shows that blaming the system (like the rules of the economy) is a much more powerful way to get people to join a movement

I fear, in the context of , caused by , etc., it would be a beggar-my-neighbour . WE would be alright - other, poorer, people wouldn't.

My online life apart from here is reducing.
Yet another group I've been involved with has gone down the AI route, proudly telling us it is trained on all the available research papers to answer my questions. And the first 2 questions are free.
Nothing about the use of copyright research papers, or the huge environmental costs. Just an assurance it can answer my questions so I don't need to do my own research.

I've lost count of how many sites I've closed accounts on or unsubscribed from in the past weeks.

This lawsuit sends a chilling message. If corporations can use the courts to punish environmental groups for speaking out, anyone who challenges fossil fuel power could be next.

This type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms. 

Googles Sneaky Trick to Sidestep an Iowa Countys Data Center Zoning Rules

When judges face complex cases, they need facts they can trust. That is why the quiet removal of a climate science chapter from a major judicial reference manual is so alarming. Courts often deal with Pollution, public health, and damage to the environment. So when politics pushes science aside, everyone should pay attention

But whats rising especially fast is the more damaging type when the heat comes first and that triggers the drought. In the 1980s, that kind of extreme covered only about 2.5 per cent of Earths land each year. By 2023, the last year the researchers studied, it was up to 16.7 per cent, with a 10-year average of 7.9 per cent

Every act of energy conservation is more than just common sense: I tell you it is an act of patriotism*

But how do we best honor that admonition The estimable has observed We need a proportional quantitative understanding of energy use, for everyone. Now, (Deputy Editor of and Senior Researcher in the Programme for Global Development at the University of Oxford) rides to the rescue with an elegant tool that compares and quantifies (in both watt-hours and usage cost, in both the U.S, and the U.K.) the energy consumption of different products and activities.
