Climate Change Costs The World Over $250,000 A Minute Here's What It Means For India

In India, urban flooding has disrupted transport, power supply and essential services, while desertification is hurting agricultural output and rural demand.

Scientists in New Zealand are warning that climate change is accelerating the risk of landslides, already the countrys deadliest natural hazard. After another deadly collapse killed eight people in January, experts say extreme weather is becoming more frequent, more intense, and far more dangerous

Satellite observations spanning more than two decades have revealed a gradual decline in vegetation cover across Uttarakhands Himalayan regions, raising concerns over the growing impact of climate change, pollution and human activity on fragile mountain ecosystems

A taste of spring in late winter. Everywhere in the garden the Crocus buds are up, ready to burst into flower. Early pollinators love them.

The global economy must be radically transformed to stop it rewarding pollution and waste, UN secretary general Antnio Guterres has warned.

We must place true value on the environment and go beyond GDP as a measure of human progress and wellbeing.

By the late 21st century, most regions in Africa will stop having occasional heatwaves and will suffer from extreme heat lasting most of the year. A study shows that by 2065-2100, many parts of Africa (apart from Madagascar) could experience heatwaves on 250-300 days per year.

Some one is saying it out loud GDP doesn't measure the true cost of living on this planet.

We must place true value on the environment and go beyond gross domestic product as a measure of human progress and wellbeing. Let us not forget that when we destroy a forest, we are creating GDP. When we overfish, we are creating GDP.

I was holding on to downpipes to stop myself being dragged out again. It was unbelievably strong, the water, he said.

"A cubic metre of water weighs about 1 tonne, or roughly as much as a small car. It is estimated that at Denniss peak, the Taff, which Nant Clydach flows into, carried 805 cubic metres a second enough to fill an Olympic size swimming pool in just over three seconds."

Australia cant reach its ambitious climate targets with current policies. Here are 6 things we can try

last year sometime, I looked into some of the modeling for precipitation, falling over the Himalayas. The most interesting aspect of it is some parts get more water some parts get less, but more of it was coming down as liquid. What this means is that those less snowfall, and that has applications for glaciers and two ways the first is its not replenished by snow and the second liquid water falling on glaciers tends to help them melt

Africa: Heat With No End - Climate Model Sets Out an Unbearable Future for Parts of Africa: The Conversation Africa People often think of a heatwave as a temporary event, a brutal week of sun that eventually breaks with a cool breeze. But as the climate changes globally, in parts of Africa, that level of heat is becoming a permanent part of the weather.

The Europeans banned from the US for fighting misinformation: Elon Musk has pushed the nuclear button. He doesnt like us -

The planet didn't get to this (image) because of the kids. It was US driving to get burgers, flying for holidays and denoucing measures to contain emissions as "tree hugging shit" and "climate alarmism".

We handed "the kids" a steaming pile of smoking shit. Demanding they stop doing what WE did with cavaleer impunity is only going to get ironic dismissal.

I'm far from claiming, like the broligarchs do, that is going to save us from

But the "Inconvenient truth" (! Sic) is that we have crossed 6 out of 9 planetary boundaries ()

At this rate, ecosystem collapses may be starting as early as 2027. Billions of humans will die from catastrophic events and resource wars...

... Worrying about extra 1% in carbon emissions when the whole shitshow is about to come down around us, is rearranging deckchairs on the titanic.

And when you can't get a good data analyst because the last one was eaten by the wasteland reavers, a shitty one from an engine is a pretty good substitute. Which is what the broligarchs in their bunkers will get.

I don't mean to sound so negative, but for far too long we have been blaze about and now it's very likely too late.

Pushing forward with the tech is probably the only way forward... I'd rather get the big brother sorting out the Apes... Relying on "free market" and got us here...
... And I can't see fixing shit.

Thanks to a dramatic drop in the cost of solar panels and batteries, countries on every continent are installing record amounts of renewables, which overtook coal to become the top source of electricity worldwide in 2025

A record number of EVs were also sold last year, the total jumping 20 per cent over 2024. They now account for one out of every four cars sold worldwide a level Bloomberg called unthinkable just a few years ago.

Landscape isnt decorationits climate infrastructure. Every park, campus, public space, or commercial site quietly:
Guides water to prevent floods and waterlogging
Preserves soil health and local geology
Plants species that thrive, not just look good
Supports birds, insects, and broader biodiversity
Works with climate conditions instead of fighting them
Provides psychological calm and physiological comfort
