Solidago canadensis (Canadian goldenrod) can be invasive in the right conditions (rich moist garden soil) but give it poor dry and stony soil in full sunshine and it is very well behaved and needs no care at all apart from cutting it down in late winter. Pollinators love it and the yellow flowers really glow in the sunshine. The plants in the picture have not been watered this summer and are still looking good while many other plants are flagging.

all critical has to be like: these are the entities, corporations, powerful people and these are their failings. not to blame them or diss them or anything even remotely personal. but so that it becomes common narrative that they are this anonymous facade which has no morals and does not care about anything in the world, whatsoever, at times not even their own survival. where we go from there - i trust humanity to figure it out. but as long as everyone is just beating around the bush and pretending - i cannot.

Pollution permits. POLLUTION PERMITS! I am repulsed that such a thing exists. Anything that "pleases" investors in fossil fuels is a crime.

all the thinking that somehow the tech billionaires and hedge fund managers of this world will somehow find their weak spot for the - it has to completely stop. as if it wasn't perfectly clear already in the last half year they have showed us that they are not interested in such a thing and never will be. that that has to die. there would have to be much more radical measures, politically. we have to turn politics away from them and back to us, like in: how is your community going to be like. they have taken enough of our time. it is time to care for ourselves, our society.

YEAS. this is what i am talking about, man. enough of the "could have should have", we need actionable thinking, a new paradigm, a shared vision. the old one is eating us up alive emotionally.

Anyone remember the gentle summer storms that used to happen The 'heat lightning' at nighttime

Here on the east coast of US, every storm that comes through brings damaging winds, torrential rain and the odd tornadoe or two. Been like this past 5-7 years, I feel like I need to start building a bunker.

These nations, highly dependent on food imports and lacking adequate climate finance, are experiencing rising food prices and strained supply chains. Experts warn this serves as an early indicator for global food systems, stressing that degraded ecosystems worsen climate shocks. Investing in nature is crucial for building resilient food systems, combating malnutrition, and preventing economic decline

ETH Zurich: ETH Zurich centralises climate and Earth observation data for the research of tomorrow. AI models are playing an increasingly important role in weather forecasting and the early detection of natural hazards. Training these models requires vast amounts of climate and Earth observation data. Over the past few months, ETH Zurich has therefore copied openly available datasets from NASA

The Democratic Party and the People Power Party have agreed on a revision to the Framework Act on Carbon Neutrality that specifies national greenhouse gas reduction targets from 2035 to 2045 in law. The agreement comes about a year after the Constitutional Court ruled the country's greenhouse gas reduction pathway for 2031-2049 unconstitutional on the grounds that it was not stipulated in law

On the other hand, climate disinformation from the United States is more blatant, especially since the start of President Donald Trumps second term in the White House. The narrative is often relayed by official channels, and by conservative think tanks with links to the government

'It will get worse': Worlds second-coldest capital faces record heat

Summer in Astana is only halfway through, yet residents of the Kazakh capital have already endured two record-breaking heatwaves.

On 14 July, temperatures soared to 39.5C, breaking the previous record for the date of 35.3C, set 34 years ago. Just three weeks earlier, on 23 June, the city also set a new record of 36.8C, surpassing the 36.4C recorded in 1941

Colorado drought increasingly linked to long-term climate change
Seasonal crisis was 14 times more likely after years of global warming, Colorado School of Mines researcher says

Youd see massive glacier calvings, and youd just want to cry. But all the guests would be cheering. And youd be like can you not put two and two together Those are the words of a former

As recent summers have made clear, wildland megafires are no longer a regional anomaly but have become a global hazard. NASA reports that, due to human-induced climate change, Extreme wildfire activity has more than doubled worldwide.

Hotter temperatures evaporate soil moisture and create dry vegetation, making the land more likely to burn. What would have been a fire easily extinguished now just grows very quickly and becomes out of control

Prime Minister Mark Carney has reverted to type as a banker and the corporate cadres best friend. In Ontario, Premier Doug Fords government is on an extended break as their gravy train for opportunistic developers and corporate bootlickers rolls on

Honeybees Fare Better in Stable Winters as Climate Extremes Rise, Researchers Say

Commentary: Don't let geopolitical noise silence climate concerns

Temperatures in several European countries are going beyond 45C due to heatwave

There is a broader climatic shift unfolding when the world is increasingly consumed by geopolitical turbulence, allowing climate concerns to slip quietly down the global priority list

I was a journalist student, not a climate statistic: how the floods in Cameroon shaped my life

Last Month, it rained again in Yaound. Rain, which was once seen as a blessing has now been a crippling cause of anxiety in my country. The images I saw online after the rains, gave that story more colour. Streets swallowed by water. Homes completely submerged. People swimming their way through. Floods. Again. A trauma I know all too well

Climate-Responsive Homes For Year-Long Comfortable Living

Climate-responsive homes are gaining importance as extreme weather grows. Smart design, ventilation, shading and drainage improve comfort, cut maintenance and enhance long-term residential value

New findings from Japanese researchers suggest that streetlights and higher urban temperatures may be altering cicadas' daily rhythms, leading some to extend their cries well past sunset in Tokyo and other urban areas.

Erratic monsoon, falling sowing: How climate change threatens India's soybean

India's soybean sowing has fallen as erratic monsoon conditions disrupted planting across key growing states. The decline highlights how climate change is altering rainfall patterns and raising risks to edible oil security

Global Warming Unmakes Winter in the US West

A new climate attribution study shows that heating from greenhouse gases could drive extreme snow droughts in the region every third year by 2050

It disrupted daily life and caused economic hardships, dried up streams, left reservoirs depleted and primed forests and grasslands to burn in wildfires

'Die Schnheit einer Baustelle'

A mindset of "humans as a virus" or "overpopulation" as a great threat or "it would be best for the earth if humanity died out" is a colonialist mindset. It is the result of forcibly disconnecting humans from each other and their landbases, their cultural and material relationships of reciprocity with the rest of the living world. We can and we need to reconnect.

A couple of stinking hot days ahead, knocking on the door of 30C already. Weve had worst but still not nice. I feel for those to the east of the country, they are not use to it, its about 9C above where it should be...

Imagine if beavers, buffalo or blue whales decided to "protect" nature by refraining from interacting with it. Ecosystems would suffer and degrade because they are keystone species. But so are we humans.

We can harm nature, sure, but we can also restore and regenerate it and that is even easier than degrading it because everything else works WITH us on that! Even the elements, the water, wind and gravity, the tides, the cycles of night and day, season after season.

If you're interested in helping an African project develop a youth-centred approach to environmental projects, why not have a look at this Uganda project's go-fund-me page.... if you have any Q.s about it will be happy to tell you what you'd like to know about the project.

"There is 454m of re-prioritising money. It's switch spending, we're not going to be giving those grants for international climate projects in other countries."
Does that mean UK Gov is going back on commitments made at COPs

really needs an orange sky on the road ahead

The forecast is showing that my part of the UK may get some rain on 31 July. The possibility always seems to be about ten days off but then doesn't materialise.

Thatcher sabotaged the country by practically giving away our water assets, which have been used by monopolistic vultures as collateral in extractive loans. Water supply has been an afterthought.

Not good.

I thought that the 2 bus cap sounded like a good thing, but if they're paying for it by cutting "international climate projects" then I am concerned. Which projects are they scrapping

Tackling really should be any government's number one priority, and it sounds like Andy Burn 'Em really hasn't got the memo on that one (especially in light of his enthusiasm for drilling for more oil)..

Japan swelters as weather breaks brutally hot threshold

As of this year, (kokushobi) is now the new official meteorological term adopted by the Japan Meteorological Agency for days when the maximum temperature reaches 40 or higher. It sits above (mshobi, 35+) in Japans heat classification.
