Up to 2022, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the tipping point for coral reefs would occur when warming is between 1.5C and 2C above preindustrial levels. But in 2023, we revised that to between 1C and 1.5C. The world is already close to that upper limit and it will certainly come within the next 10 or 20 years as a result of committed climate change which comes from cumulative emissions that have already gone into the atmosphere.

Summer has officially begun with a blast of scorching temperatures across much of the United States. The National Weather Service is warning of extremely dangerous heat baking 160 million people under a heat dome stretching from the Midwest to the East Coast the rest of this week. Its already proven fatal.

How to manage anxiety and build resilience

A team of Japanese scientists released a study on Thursday, asserting that the unseasonable that struck the nation would not have occurred without the influence of human activities on the global climate system.

You don't need expensive rain water barrels to start saving water.

When thunderstorms were forecast a month ago I just used whatever I had at hand to save water.

Storage bins.
They're like $40 for 50 gallons.

But during the heat wave last week I didn't have to use city water for my garden once.

And I had water left when it rained this morning! (they're now full again).

ERW aims to turbocharge a natural geological process called weathering.

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks by carbonic acid, which forms when carbon dioxide in the air or soil dissolves into water.

Weathering occurs naturally when rain falls on rocks, and the process can lock away carbon dioxide from the air or soil as bicarbonate, and eventually limestone

"s only working nuclear power plant at shut down in an emergency procedure when jellyfish clogged the sea water-cooling intake pipes at the plant, according to the Scotland Herald this week. Without access to cool water, a nuclear power plant risks overheating. The intake pipes can also be damaged, which disrupts power generation. And ocean life that gets sucked into a power plants intake pipes risks death.

...

"The clash between gelatinous jellyfish and hulking nuclear power plants has a long history. These spineless, brainless, bloodless creatures shut down the Torness nuclear power plant in 2011 at a cost of approximately $1.5 million per day, according to one estimate. Swarms of these invertebrates have also been responsible for nuclear power plant shutdowns in Israel, Japan, the United States, the , , and Sweden.

"Humans have unwittingly nurtured the adversarial relationship between jellyfish and nuclear power plants. That is, human-induced has raised ocean water temperatures, setting conditions for larger-than-usual jellyfish populations. Further, the relatively warm water near nuclear power plant discharge outlets may attract jellyfish swarms, according to one study. Also, has lowered levels in sea water, which jellyfish tolerate more than other marine animals, leading to their proliferation.

"Some look at jellyfish and see elegant ballerinas of the sea, while others view them as pests. Either way, they are nothing if not resilient. Jellyfish are 95 percent water, drift in topical waters and the Arctic Ocean, and thrive in the oceans bottom as well as on its surface. Nuclear power plant operators might take note: Older-than-dinosaur jellyfish are likely here to stay."
