European companies are increasingly lobbying for strong climate action, research has found, in a “profound shift” that analysts say challenges the narrative that businesses see green rules as a threat to profits.

"If rising global temperatures have you feeling worn down, you aren't alone. A new study published in Science Advances and reported on by NPR found that extreme heat can speed up biological aging in a way that researchers say is "similar to the effect of smoking and drinking.""

I'm getting fed up with the *tsunami* of awful articles about USA, Trump, Gaza, racism, anti LGBTQI, misogyny, crime, corruption, trade, tariffs, environment, animal extinction, polar ice melting, ICE raids, wars ...
We need links and advice about what we the ordinary ppl can actually DO to be proactive and help.
Every day Im left hanging, emotionally wiped out, bc it's all so much and i feel SO FRIGGIN POWERLESS. And governments aren't doing what needs to be done.
Am i the only one ??
How can i help ??

Just taking a moment in my laboratory this afternoon, staring at this investment of my time and love, and taxpayer dollars, and wondering what will become of the USian scientific enterprise as we cede our role in the world.
We are discontinuing sea ice monitoring.

We are burying our head in the sand at the behest of a little weak king of whom everyone is afraid. Meanwhile the world rushes to save valuable scientific datasets.

Malm noted: “1840 was a pivotal year in history, for both the Middle East and the climate system. It marked the first time the British Empire deployed steamboats in a major war. Steam power was the technology through which dependence on fossil fuels came into being: Steam engines ran on coal, and it was their diffusion through the industries of Britain that turned this into the first fossil economy.
“Only by exporting it to the rest of the world and drawing humanity into the spiral of large-scale fossil fuel combustion,” Malm writes, “did Britain change the fate of this planet: The globalization of steam was a necessary ignition. The key to this ignition, in turn, was the deployment of steamboats in war. It was through the projection of violence that Britain integrated other countries into the strange kind of economy it had created — by turning fossil capital, we might say, into fossil empire.”

Will you live an unprecedented life?
A new study published in Nature finds that today’s vulnerable youth will be most affected by continued greenhouse gas emissions

Children born in 2020 will face ‘unprecedented exposure’ to climate extremes
That is according to a new study, published in #Nature, which calculates the number of unprecedented extreme events that people born in different decades and countries might live through.
Using a case study focused on #Brussels, the researchers find that people born in 2020 will experience an “unprecedented” 11 #heatwaves in their lifetime – even if #GlobalWarming is limited to 1.5C by the end of the century.
In contrast, in a pre-industrial #climate, a person living in the Belgian capital would likely experience just three such heatwaves, according to the study.
More than half of children born in 2020 – around 62 million people – will experience “unprecedented lifetime exposure” to heatwaves, even if warming is limited to 1.5C, the study finds.
However, this number nearly doubles to 111 million under a scenario where warming hits 3.5C.
The study also analyses crop failures, river #floods, tropical #cyclones, #wildfires and #droughts.
The research “helps the climate community build new narratives that better clarify the impacts [of #ClimateChange] on younger generations and vulnerable populations”, one expert who was not involved in the study tells Carbon Brief.
