'Single storm' could push thousands of Haitians into hunger, WFP warns as hurricane season begins

Im so sick of this. Its too damn predictable.

Once again, the situation is worse than we thought. Worse than whats been reported.

Environmental Protection Agency accounting loopholes and aging equipment hide pollution from pulp and paper mills that may be undercounted by up to 350%.

And you know what This story perfectly illustrates the Catch-22 we are in. Its like, we *need* to use less plastic, so lets switch back to paper packaging instead.

Except uh-oh, paper manufacturing emits just as much greenhouse gas as oil refineries. So were screwed either way.

The real solution, of course, is to quit trying to replace one sort of production with another sort of production, one kind of growth with another kind of growth.

The real solution is .

A Swiss mountain slope bursting and unleashing a cascade of rocks and ice over an idyllic Alpine village last week was a chilling image, but also the symbol of a well-managed climate crisis.

Many years ago I worked at this Guanacaste site in Costa Rica with Dan and Winnie and was at some of the magical moth lights there. Its *heartbreaking* to have a large conserved wildland like this unravelling as it heats up.

With the other causes of biodiversity decline, there have always been places in the worldreserves, national parks, islandswhere natural ecosystems could still thrive. The rea de Conservacin Guanacaste signals that nowhere will be safe from the centuries of global warming ahead us.

In even the best case scenario, where we finally grow up and turn off the fossil fuel flames, we are still going to lose so many precious things to the heat.

Insects are not only little things that run the world. Each tropical moth is like a fine artwork. Here are some caterpillars from my time in Guanacaste. We might as well be burning down the world's best art galleries.
