Another alarming study: Africa’s wildlife “power grid” has dimmed. Total ecological energy has fallen by more than one-third.
This is not only about species dying, but about ecosystems collapsing. “Restoration isn’t just about bringing animals back, it’s about bringing back what they do,”

Possums in Australia show some of the world's highest PFAS levels among small mammals
New research has shown for the first time that Australian marsupials are contaminated with synthetic "forever chemicals," which are linked to significant health impacts on other animals and humans.

Watched ‘All that’s left of you’ tonight, a deeply moving film about the intergenerational trauma of a Palestinian family. Definitely agree with all the 5star reviews.
I hope it will open many eyes to the tragic history of the Palestinian people since the Nakba. m.imdb.com/title/tt2934...

That's odd—the carbon footprint of your flight is 5x higher than the airline industry's been telling you, according to researchers ... www.newscientist.com/article/2502...
Your flight emissions are way higher than carbon calculators suggest
Existing tools that work out the carbon footprint of flights greatly underestimate their warming impact, say the makers of a new calculator

This could be a historic day. If Geert Wilders loses in the Netherlands, this could be the start of a new wave of European elections with losses for the extreme right, according to Italian journalist Valentina Brini. Let’s hope she’s right 🤞🏼 nos.nl/l/2588372

Total devastation. Heartbreaking
The island of #Jamaica is devastated after #HurricaneMelissa 🌪️. The town of #BlackRiver has suffered massive damage.

Total devastation. Heartbreaking
It is so sad to see another major hurricane approaching very vulnerable people. Melissa shows wind speeds up to an incredible 387km/h. Incredibly frustrating to know in advance about all the devastation this is going to cause. Heartbreaking
Simply incredible imagery of Hurricane Melissa this morning as it approaches Jamaica.

What this story also shows: ‘it is not just the heat. It is inequality – who has access to shelter, healthcare, money and social support – that often determines who lives and who dies.’
One of the many things @ninalakhani.bsky.social does so well is show the very real, very now cost of climate change at the most human level. This story is devastatingly good: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story
Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

Well… Agricultural industries, which have been responsible for 85% of forest loss over the past decade, have received average annual subsidies worth $409bn (£307bn). This is almost 70 times more than the $5.9bn of international public finance provided each year for forest protection and restoration.

Time and time again, sustainable solutions are smarter business
Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.
