Decline in dugong population prompts calls for action in Gulf of Carpentaria

I didn't always realize this but "A plant based food system is the biggest way to combat climate change and deforestation" is malthusianism transposed onto human supremacy.

What is the difference between "livestock eat the majority of crops and drink a lot of water" and "There are too many humans the most effective solution to climate change is to have less mouths to feed and less energy demand"

For a while I excused this because I saw depopulation as an unavoidable consequence of market shifts, after all I'm not advocating they be killed its the farmers who would see them as an un-recouped investment and would have them killed

But this is just endorsement with extra steps, there is no way to say that water and land usage are a benefit of a plant based diet without it being human supremacist.

Yes I know I'm inviting the overpopulation antivegan argument but I'm at the point where I'm like "our species has made this ethical bed now we need to lie in it and bear the cost of caring for the population of moral patients we've created"

I recognize that with the way the world is atm the farmers will kill the livestock they don't sell. But I act to prefigure the world I want to create not to compromise with the one that already exists.

Analysis of tree growth since 1902 of over 4,100 trees from the Northern Hemisphere, matched to precipitation, temperature, and vapor pressure deficit records, was used to forecast 30-year growth based on CMIP6 climate predictions. Predicted growth varied spatially, but the net effect was negative: most losses were rarely reversed, and many gains were only temporary. Warming and atmospheric oxygen demand drive the changes.

A school district pioneers and battery

City Public Schools is building the states first solar-plus-storage systems to keep emergency shelters going during and cut down on costs.

By Elizabeth Ouzts
8 September 2026

"As intensifies, communities around the country are looking for ways to better prepare for extreme weather, from ice storms to heat waves. In Roanoke, Virginia, nestled in the , that starts with the schools.

"For years, the Roanoke City Public Schools district has been installing to lower electricity bills, minimize its carbon footprint, and teach students about clean tech. Now, the district is set to be the first in the state to invest in storage, with a solar-and-battery-powered microgrid at each of its two high schools, which double as official .

" 'Theyll run on the battery until such time as its discharged,' said Jeff Shawver, senior director of school plants for Roanoke City Public Schools. 'Then the diesel generators are cut on. Then, the next day, the sun comes up, and you start charging the battery again. It just keeps the cycle going.'

"Due to be installed by the end of the year, the storage systems will be among just a handful of batteries at school buildings around the country, according to , a national nonprofit headquartered up the interstate in Charlottesville. The dearth of at schools is problematic in the wake of natural disaster, since they account for 60% of all FEMA-designated relief shelters in Virginia and half of those nationwide.

" 'Schools are also the hubs where citizens vote, where groups gather, and now increasingly where neighbors need to huddle or seek shelter during emergencies,' said Tish Tablan, senior program director at the nonprofit and a former teacher. 'So theyre just critical parts of our communities.'

"The microgrid is funded partially by a grant from the states Department of Emergency Management and a donation from commercial solar installer Secure Solar Futures. 'The grant has been around for a few years,' Tablan said. 'They are the first to utilize it for a solar microgrid instead of diesel.' "

One bright spot (apologies to family in Hawai'i and West Coast) for the upcoming cataclysmic super El Nino Southern Oscillation (#ENSO ) -- if you live in southern US (CT, RI, MA, and southern VT, NH, ME) and don't like cold and high snows and Nor'Easters - likely that familiar harsh winter weather pattern will be suppressed. That ENSO coupled with a rare La Nina forming over the Atlantic (6 times in the last 40 years) lowering Atlantic temperatures, should keep high snows at bay, and moderate temperatures - less use of #2 super expensive home heating oil (#2 diesel). It also explains why this year's US hurricane season is almost non-existent.

However, everything has a plus and minus. Expect lots more ice in New England this winter.

Yankees plan for winter. Good luck to all of us. The US use 85% of all US home heating oil (only 4% of the US heats with oil), and current prices and futures prices are off the charts.

Lessons in : Libraries Roles in and Recovery

by Denise Lyons, Apr 01, 2025

"The vital role libraries play in their communities has been well documented, yet many libraries are overlooked, and certainly underfunded, for their significant involvement in disaster preparedness and recovery. A small team (of which I am a part) has dedicated 10 years to researching the value of libraries through disasters, highlighting clear demonstrations of leadership as seen most recently following the devastating wildfires in and the flooding in from Hurricane Helene. Each new disaster brings focus to the urgency around recognizing libraries as key partners. To that end, academics, practitioners, educators, and other leaders have created a body of work to help share stories that raise awareness."

Once Upon a Forest: A Twig Poets Rewilding Journey (18 mins)

As a child, Maria struggled to fit into a conventional life. But the forestwith its gnarled twigs and quiet strengthoffered her a path to healing and purpose. Now known as Swedens twig poet, she transforms natures remnants into powerful sculptures and poetry.

She replanted thousands of leaf trees that tried to grow in ditches or under electric lines and wouldn't have had a chance there, and put them in her family's bark-beetle decimated spruce monoculture.

"Learn how Library System ( ) in transformed its 'Library of Things' into a disaster response asset that directly supports community needs before, during, and after major disruptions. This webinar will explain how readiness planning and intentional selection helped expand access to essential tools during emergencies, strengthening recovery efforts and reinforcing the library's role as a trusted, practical community institution. Library Director will share how the BCLS integrated the Library of Things planning and acquisition into core library strategy rather than treating it as an add-on and how partnerships and a community-centered services model helped her library counter book banning narratives by emphasizing libraries as hubs for equitable access."
