Das Szenario mit den höchsten Emissionen würde weltweit etwa ein Drittel der Arten bedrohen"

Airborne mineral dust delivers nutrients that promote glacier algae growth on the Greenland Ice Sheet, reducing surface reflectivity and accelerating ice melt.
Mineral dust accelerates Greenland ice sheet melt by promoting algae growth
Large-scale melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is irreversible and happening at a rapid rate, and now a new international study is the first to understand why.

The report says: “Food production is the most significant cause of terrestrial biodiversity loss... Animal farming at current levels is unsustainable without imports... The UK does not have enough land to feed its population & rear livestock: a wholesale change in consumer diets would be required”.
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.

Forests are increasingly dominated by fast-growing tree species, leading to reduced biodiversity and weakened climate resilience, especially in tropical and subtropical regions.
Fast-growing trees are taking over the forests of the future and putting biodiversity, climate resilience under pressure
Trees play a central role in life on Earth. They store CO₂, provide habitats for animals, fungi, and insects, stabilize soils, regulate water cycles, and supply resources that humans rely on—from timber and food to recreation and shade on a hot day.
