🐝 En Colombia han construido “hoteles”… pero no para personas.

En Colombia, un proyecto científico crea alojamientos para abejas y otros polinizadores en crisis mundial.

Original de @theconversation.com.
La universidad colombiana que construye "hoteles" para abejas y otros polinizadores - Climática, el medio especializado en clima y biodiversidad
Esta iniciativa ha comenzado a cambiar la percepción de la sociedad, que ha pasado de concebir un solo tipo de abeja –vista únicamente como productora de miel y potencialmente peligrosa por su picadura– a reconocer y apropiarse de las especies nativas.

La deforestación de las laderas, bien por los incendios o bien por las talas para diferentes fines económicos, incrementan sustancialmente la erosión, cuyos efectos ambientales y sociales pueden ser muy graves. Es necesario ampliar la superficie de nuestros bosques autóctonos.

[COMMENTARY]

The “blue” — or aquatic — foods sector is often overlooked as a climate strategy, despite its potential to help meet demand for protein with a smaller environmental footprint, fisheries ministers from Brazil and Portugal argue in a new op-ed.

Aurora Forecast Update for 2025-11-13T08:04:01Z
Additional Details Here.
:Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2025 Nov 13 0030 UTC # Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 9 (NOAA Scale G5). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Nov 13-Nov 15 2025 is 8.33 (NOAA Scale G4). NOAA Kp index breakdown Nov 13-Nov 15 2025 Nov 13 Nov 14 Nov 15 00-03UT 8.00 (G4) 4.67 (G1) 2.33 03-06UT 8.33 (G4) 4.00 3.00 06-09UT 7.33 (G3) 3.33 2.33 09-12UT 5.00 (G1) 3.67 2.00 12-15UT 4.33 3.33 1.33 15-18UT 4.00 3.00 1.33 18-21UT 4.33 3.00 2.00 21-00UT 4.67 (G1) 3.33 2.33 Rationale: G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storming remains likely, primarily during the early hours of the 13 Nov UTC-day, due to ongoing CME effects. Primarily G1 (Minor) to G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storming is likely thereafter, carrying on into the early hours of the 14 Nov UTC-day as CME effects gradually wane. B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was above S-scale storm level thresholds. Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Nov 13-Nov 15 2025 Nov 13 Nov 14 Nov 15 S1 or greater 99% 75% 45% Rationale: S1 (Minor) to S2 (Moderate) solar radiation storms are expected to continue through 13 Nov before decreasing to the lower ends of the S1 (Minor) threshold over the course of 14 Nov as CME influences pass beyond the near-Earth environment. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast No radio blackouts were observed over the past 24 hours. Radio Blackout Forecast for Nov 13-Nov 15 2025 Nov 13 Nov 14 Nov 15 R1-R2 85% 85% 85% R3 or greater 55% 55% 55% Rationale: R1-2 (Minor-Moderate) radioblackouts are expected through 15 Nov and are likely to be accompanied by isolated R3 (Strong) events as AR 4274 makes it approach towards the western limb of the solar disk.

Global warming is melting away the sea ice they need for breeding, resting and feeding, which has led to widespread breeding failures.

In #ScienceUnderSiege, @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and I expose the bad actors (plutocrats, petrostates, pros, propagandists & the press) who are promoting deadly and dangerous antiscience--whether it regards climate or COVID--to enrich and empower themselves.

"Viewpoint diversity" about whether human activity is warming the planet, or whether vaccines work, is like "viewpoint diversity" about whether the sky is blue or whether the Earth is round. It falls outside the range of good faith scientific and academic discourse.

We often forget how far we have come:

➡️ Today almost 50% of EU electricity generation is from renewable energy sources.

➡️ It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix. This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation.

Approximately 1/3 of reef-building coral species are at high risk of extinction. 🪸 The loss of coral reefs could impact nearly 1 billion people who depend on them for food, medicine, storm protection, and livelihoods.

Vibrant underwater photograph of a healthy coral reef ecosystem showing rich biodiversity. The scene features pink and white coral formations with multiple species of tropical fish, including yellow butterflyfish, royal angelfish with blue and yellow stripes, and bright yellow butterfly fish. A sea turtle swims in the upper right corner. Red starfish are visible on the coral, and schools of smaller fish in blue, red, and yellow colors swim throughout. The water is a clear, bright blue, and the coral shows various textures and shapes, from branching to rounded formations. The image captures the complex interactions and diversity of a thriving coral reef community.
