#Mexico to unveil #sargassum plan as crisis worsens in #Caribbean Specialists attribute the increase in sargassum influxes to rising ocean temperatures, greater nutrient availability and prolonged hours of solar radiation. By Mar Puig, UPI Published Jul 30, 2026 Excerpt: "Specialists attribute the increase in sargassum influxes to rising ocean temperatures, greater nutrient availability and prolonged hours of solar radiation. "According to La Nación, which cited Brian Barnes, an assistant research professor in the University of South Florida College of Marine Science in St. Petersburg, those factors have fueled the accelerated growth of the #macroalgae in the tropical Atlantic.

…Dividing the world into #SpheresOfInfluence & pursuing #neocolonial ventures for strategic resources are anachronistic gestures & steps backward. 
Despite the #US’ long history of political & military interventions in #LatinAmerica & the #Caribbean, there have been moments when Washington proved capable of being a partner worthy of our development interests. #Brazil #geopolitics #Lula #law #sovereignty #trade #economy #Trump #tariffs #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie #JairBolsonaro

This speaks volumes about the inconsistency between the interests the #US proclaims in its #NationalSecurity strategy & the policies it pursues in the #WesternHemisphere.
 #LatinAmerica & the #Caribbean need neither aircraft carriers patrolling their waters nor punitive #tariffs. What we lack are reliable & predictable partners. While the US is closing off its #market, other countries have stepped forward as alternatives, with a positive agenda capable of fostering economic & social development.

I’m continuing experimenting with this topographic map style and here’s one for the French Caribbean island of Saint-Barthélemy. France’s IGN provides DEM with a horizontal resolution of 1 metre so I wondered how my map workflow would look like for smaller islands. Feedback and comments are welcome! 🙏 #maps #cartography #Mapstodon #gischat #France #Caribbean

Here is another indicator of the distance between the global North and South but also another form of #classwar in the "advanced economies". Healthy diet too expensive for one in three people globally, UN report finds https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jul/21/healthy-diet-too-expensive-for-one-in-three-people-globally-un-report-finds One in three people cannot afford to eat a healthy diet, a new report has found, prompting calls for urgent action on food affordability. There are 2.69 billion people unable to afford a diverse diet that meets their energy and nutrient needs. The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2026 report calculated the cost of a healthy diet is 4.28 purchasing power parity (PPP) dollars a day. This means that in any given country, a healthy diet costs the amount of local currency with the same buying power that >>>>> $4.28<<< has in the US. “The extreme poverty line is $3PPP per person,” Torero said. “So it’s significantly higher.” In Africa, 66.6% of the population was unable to afford a healthy diet in 2025, more than double the levels observed in #Asia or #LatinAmerica and the #Caribbean. #Africa is now home to the highest number of hungry people for the first time, with about 309 million, surpassing Asia’s 292 million. Another of the #UN agencies behind the report, show adult #obesity rose from 12.1% in 2012 to 16.2% in 2024.

Breathtaking, if even for a moment. Already gone as I type this. Water vapor and some Saharan dust in the shape of a cumulonimbus cloud towering and becoming a lantern holding the last rays of the sun during this rotation... #landscape #photography #sunset #caribbean
