“The levels of PFOS found in freshwater fish often exceeded an astounding 8,000 parts per trillion,” said study coauthor David Andrews, a senior scientist at Environmental Working Group, the nonprofit environmental health organization that analyzed the data.

The return of the El Niño climate phenomenon later this year will cause global temperatures to rise “off the chart” and deliver unprecedented heatwaves, scientists have warned.

Originally posted by Obbe Climate migrants are a subset of environmental migrants who were forced to flee "due to sudden or gradual alterations in the natural environment related to at least one of three impacts of climate change: sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and drought and water scarcity."

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson The Earth is pretty much a closed system. Water isn't destroyed, key word is in your first sentence "Water Cycle".
While it might get droughty in one area other areas get wetter.The most devastating floods occurred in Pakistan, where about 8 million people were driven out of their homes by massive flooding along the Indus River.
…
The downpours caused flash floods and landslides, killing thousands and leaving many thousands more without a home. Growing population pressures are pushing ever more people into floodplains and onto unstable slopes, making heavy rain and flood events even more damaging than in the past. -

The key conclusion? Earth's water cycle is clearly changing. Globally, the air is getting hotter and drier, which means droughts and risky fire conditions are developing faster and more frequently.

Due to the increased temperatures of the oceans, fish are now suffocating to death as there are now vast, growing swathes of ocean where there's not enough oxygen for them to survive.
Nearly all marine species face extinction if greenhouse emissions don’t drop: studyIn addition to the threat this poses to biodiversity around the planet, the results of the study present a major threat to people in the global south, with the biggest danger to species native to low-income countries that rely heavily on fisheries in the tropics and subtropics, according to Boyce and his colleagues.
Expert identifies what caused a massive die-off of Alaska’s snow crabsErin Fedewa, a marine biologist with the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, told AFP the shocking numbers seen today are the result of heatwaves in 2018 and 2019.
The “cold water habitat that they need was virtually absent, which suggests that temperature is really the key culprit in this population decline,” she said.
It just flew over your head because you were too busy doing this:

HIGHLY DUTCH AMSTERDAM SATIVA?
I have gotten big bag o buds a few times before, different strain though. Stick with the brand I like but try this new strain? Or try something completely different? Never tried Highly Dutch before... -

Actions have consequences and these activists are causing far more harm than good.
Thousands of people demonstrated in persistent rain on Saturday to protest the clearance and demolition of a village in western Germany that is due to make way for the expansion of a coal mine. There were standoffs with police as some protesters tried to reach the edge of the mine and the village itself.

With the average family of four projected to spend more than $16,000 on groceries this year — about $1,066 more (or seven percent) than in 2022 — and food bank usage soaring to new all-time highs, Some might argue that Canadians already pay dearly for “food theft” of a different kind.
“Galen Weston and his family are thieves who have profited from it for decades and if you think stealing food (products insured against loss) to survive is wrong then you are a clown,” wrote this week Trending Twitter users.
“If you’re too poor to afford groceries and the government doesn’t give you options, taking groceries from a corporate grocery chain to survive doesn’t sound like STEALING to me,” wrote another, inspiring one now viral reaction from Karl himself. -

"The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is increasing year by year. And these greenhouse gases, trap energy in Earth's system prevent it from going to space, and most of that energy goes into the ocean, which causes the ocean to warm," he said.
From there, some of the ocean heat is transferred back to the atmosphere, Abraham said, as is moisture and humidity, creating a surge of more energy that "makes storms more powerful."
"So when oceans warm and when the Earth warms, it makes our weather wilder," Abraham said. "We go from one extreme to the other, more rapidly."
