Scientists say warming waters off the U.S. West Coast could be causing more humpback whales to get fatally entangled in fishing gear. They say the cold-water pockets the animals typically thrive in are shrinking, forcing them closer to shore

At least 22 dead after record rainfall triggers floods and landslides in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Up to 191 mm within a day, of which 100 mm in 3 hours!

Human-driven climate change intensified torrential downpours that killed dozens and forced thousands of people from their homes across Spain, Portugal and Morocco earlier this year, a network of climate scientists said Thursday.

Precipitation during the region's wettest days now entail around one-third more rainfall compared with the pre-industrial climate, which was 1.3C cooler

RE:

Interesting. It isn't known why old carbon gets released from black lakes in the Congo, whether it's a natural process and part of the carbon cycle, or a process triggered by

Another study is also mentioned about methane release from the lakes. Only if water levels are high do microbes have enough time to break down CH4 sufficiently. But in drought, lake levels aren't high enough so CH4 reaches the atmosphere.
Drought is projected to increase in climate change and ongoing deforestation to accommodate the growing population only worsens drought conditions.

Why I fear for the future of mankind

As extreme rainfall intensifies and return periods shorten, this tipping point will be crossed more often, demanding integrated forecasting and adaptive planning in vulnerable, low-lying, rapidly urbanizing regions

The report concludes that scientific models estimating ocean carbon uptake may differ from real-world measurements by as much as 10 to 20 percent globally, with even larger discrepancies in some regions. These inconsistencies stem from limited long-term observational data and gaps in understanding how key processes respond to a changing climate

The ecological impacts of this are not fully clear, but these changes to flowering times may threaten the dependent relationships between plants, pollinators, and fruit-eating seed-dispersing animals, therefore raising the likelihood that shifts to flowering periods impact the wider tropical ecosystems

Chronic heating fuels staggering loss of marine life
levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade
Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 populations in the northern hemisphere between 1993 and 2021, and isolated the effect of the decadal rate of seabed warming from short shifts such as marine heatwaves. They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year.
