This year's gardening gambit: establishing grapevines, in hopes that they will be resistant to future heatwaves (at least for a little while). They seem to be able to grow in Fresno... so thinking that will be a plus here near the California coast, even with increasing heatwave conditions. #gardening #California #heatwaves #climateadaptation

"“We now expect a 3°C world,” Morgan Stanley analysts wrote earlier this month, citing “recent setbacks to global decarbonization efforts.”"

Perth bracing for March hot spell not seen in 40 years

Perth and many of Western Australia's coastal communities are yet again in the grip of an unseasonal heatwave, with a hot streak that has not been seen in 40 years predicted.

Climate warming and heatwaves accelerate global lake deoxygenation, study reveals

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1077716

Long-term climate warming and the increasing frequency and intensity of short-term heatwaves are significantly reducing surface dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in lakes worldwide, according to a new study published in Science Advances.

"Freshwater ecosystems require adequate oxygen levels to sustain aerobic life and maintain healthy biological communities. However, both long-term climate warming and the increasing frequency and intensity of short-term heatwaves are significantly reducing surface dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in lakes worldwide, according to a new study"

More than 150 ‘unprecedented’ climate disasters struck world in 2024, says UN
"Floods, heatwaves and supercharged hurricanes occurred in hottest climate human society has ever experienced."

“Global warming continues unabated, exactly as predicted correctly since the 1980s, [and] millions of people are increasingly suffering the consequences. We can only stop the warming trend by getting out of fossil fuels fast. We have the solutions – but what stops us is the disinformation campaigns and lobby power of the fossil fuel industry. Ignoring reality, denying the laws of physics and silencing scientists can only lead to harm, and ordinary people will pay the price for that.” Prof Stefan Rahmstorf, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate

Extreme weather last year including typhoons, heat waves and flooding led to the biggest displacement of people since 2008, and exacerbated a food crisis in more than a dozen countries, according to a report. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/03/19/climate-change/extreme-weather-2024-16-years/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #drought #floods #typhoons #heatwaves

when #ecosystems thrive, they protect us—absorbing #floods, softening #heatwaves, keeping #disease in check. #forests, #wetlands, #reefs, and #grasslands act as nature’s safety net, holding everything in #balance. but when we destroy them, we unravel the very systems keeping us alive. ⁠

by protecting #nature, we protect ourselves. every #tree, every #river, every #species is part of the web that holds our world together. if we want a future, we have to fight for it.
