To that extent, the flourishing of one person depends on and influences the flourishing of other things in the world – including other people and animals as companions, the plants and soil which provide food for survival, rivers and oceans that are a source of water, and the Sun which gives the energy that sustains life on Earth.

The Arctic Boreal Zone, encompassing treeless tundra, boreal forests, and wetlands spread over 26 million square kilometres, has undergone a significant transformation. New research has revealed that 40 per cent of this region has become a carbon source, releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs, marking a shift from its role as a carbon sink for millennia

A native Michigan apple tree, the Malus coronaria, learned to fight frost by blooming two or three weeks later than the trees that produce cultivated varieties of apples like Honeycrisp or Red Delicious
That doesn’t sound like a lot, but almost always that’s enough for the flowers to escape the killing spring frost

This rapid alteration indicates a severe ecological disturbance. Research reveals that 90% of microbial diversity vanished, iron concentrations soared by 1,000%, and the lakes shifted from absorbing carbon dioxide to releasing it—becoming significant sources of greenhouse gases
The primary catalyst behind this transformation was a particularly warm & wet fall in 2022, which caused significant permafrost thawing

Climate change could be blamed for around 25% of the fuel available for the fires, according to the rapid research from scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles. The report is clear in saying the fires likely still would have occurred in a world without climate pollution, but it concludes they would have been “somewhat smaller and less intense

The Netherlands' growing reliance on liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States has led to a sharp increase in the climate impact of its natural gas consumption, according to new data from Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN). Although the U.S. now supplies 27 percent of the gas used in the Netherlands, it is responsible for 66 percent of the total greenhouse gases emitted during gas extraction and transport,Trouw reports.

In essence, plants can’t absorb & concentrate nutrients while CO2 accelerates their growth
If plant nutrition declines significantly, it could trigger widespread food web disruption. The economic impacts of declining plant nutrition are vast, affecting everything from farm productivity to global trade

Los Angeles, in particular, has seen air pollution at levels that could be raising daily mortality by between 5 to 15 percent, said Carlos F. Gold, an expert in the health effects of air pollution at the University of California, San Diego.
That means current death counts, “while tragic, are likely large underestimates,” he said. People with underlying health issues, as well as older people and children, are particularly vulnerable

California wildfires: Why are they happening and is climate change to blame?
