Climate change-related heat stress is making workers less productive. In the U.S. alone, productivity losses due to heat stress cost an average of $220 billion annually, up from $130 billion in 2001. Why aren't businesses working to address it?

Microplastics in soil create microbial habitats known as the plastisphere, causing an increase in antibiotic-resistant genes that is further amplified by agrochemicals. This stew can persist for years, creating a global threat to healthy soils.
El Niños that see heating reach or exceed 2°C
are defined as “SUPER”.
The incoming El Niño,
which is forecast to top-out at
an astonishing 4°C later this year,
is so much bigger.
The term “HYPER” might be more appropriate.

Hurricanes already cause extreme damage, and analysts fear it's going to get worse. Insurance industry bean counters say that stronger winds, worse flooding, slow-moving storms and rising sea level are potentially devastating wildcards.
The study reveals that heavy rainfall—not extreme temperatures or drought—is the biggest threat to cocoa yields. #ResistanceEarth
Heavy rainfall can be forecast. This will help farmers to reduce the damage, notably around drainage and disease management. #ClimateAdaption gizmodo.com/scientists-f...
So much for tech caring about anything but taking over humanity while destroying our HOME!🌎

Trump is trying to undo all progress we've made in combating climate change. Proposed new rules would eliminate regulations requiring coal and natural gas power plants to limit carbon emissions. Trump claims the move will save the industry $300 billion.
The EU fishing industry have been consistently overfishing and now face regional collapse of cod and haddock. The EU does not factor #climate into its decisions.
Iceland’s fish stocks are #sustainable.
Iceland voted NO to join the European Union.

British people have made tea a part of their daily routines for more than 350 years. However, soaring temperatures, are causing many Brits to forego their afternoon cuppa. Ice cream sales, on the other hand, have seen an uptick.
Removing tons of killer ghost nets and trash from the ocean is no easy task. #ResistanceEarth
Technology helps the Indigenous rangers who use drones and AI to spot nets. Once fishing nets are removed rangers comb through the nets to free any #wildlife that is entangled but still alive. #Pollution

This is what I call a better use for land. The Greek island of Gyaros, long used to exile prisoners, is now a protected wildlife area. Located in the Aegean Sea, the island has become a haven for diverse species, such as Mediterranean monk seals.
The results are in, and August was ... HOT. It beat the record for world's hottest month (July 2023) by one-hundredth of a degree Celsius, but that's within the statistical uncertainty so they're calling it a tie. Can we agree this is not normal?
The findings show a world in motion. One in 10 butterfly species globally has shifted its distribution. #ResistanceEarth
Climate change and extreme weather were identified as drivers in nearly 80% of documented movements.

Historically, forests, wetlands and the tundra have stored carbon. Rising temperatures are causing them to release it, creating a feedback loop that amplifies the impact of fossil fuels by up to 30%, worsening heatwaves, droughts and floods.
