#Amsterdam #Netherlands Amsterdam begins enforcing ban on adverts for meat and fossil fuels: ‘Climate crisis is very urgent’ Politicians behind move say it is about aligning Amsterdam's public spaces with its own environmental targets https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/amsterdam-meat-fossil-fuel-ad-ban-b2970028.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#food #Arizona #USA #US Davidowitz wants to preserve this produce by drying it. Then it can be used to make packaged food, fertilizer, or animal feed instead of being tossed. He’s designed a drying tower that looks like a tall greenhouse. As the sun streams in, heat rises and collects. Fans spread the heat around, and the crops dry out quickly Keeping food out of landfills prevents it from breaking down into methane, a powerful climate-warming gas https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/05/solar-drying-towers-could-reduce-food-waste-researcher-says/ #ClimateChange

#health #USA #US We find that renewable energy deployment yields greater combined climate and public health benefits than direct air capture across nearly all scenarios and regions, with direct air capture approaching cost-effectiveness only under highly optimistic assumptions about future technological breakthroughs https://www.nature.com/articles/s44458-026-00068-0 https://archive.ph/wip/bpSZr #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#UK New analysis released today by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) indicates that UK food prices are on track to be 50% higher by November 2026 compared to levels at the start of the cost-of-living crisis in mid-2021. This would suggest that the amount of price growth seen in the nearly 20 years prior to the crisis would be achieved in just over 5 years – almost quadrupling the pace of food inflation https://aboutmanchester.co.uk/warning-that-food-prices-on-track-to-have-risen-50-per-cent-in-five-years/ #ClimateChange #pollution #environment #climate

Crikey | Why big tech has always been obsessed with hiding its shame by Ketan Joshi AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article argues that big‑tech companies routinely obscure the true scale of their environmental impact, pointing to examples such as Amazon’s claim of 100 % renewable power while fighting mandatory emissions reporting, and using Canberra Data Centres (CDC) as a case study: its founder Greg Boorer boasts that Australia can build world‑class data centres and still meet net‑zero targets by tapping “substantial unused capacity” in the power system and claims CDC is already net‑zero, despite the broader reality that the industry is imposing massive new energy demand on suburban fringes and relying on vague promises of future technological fixes to downplay the issue.

#BassCoastShire #Victoria #Australia Bass Coast Shire Council in south-east Victoria wants the federal government to charge big polluters to help councils and communities recover from environmental disasters. The council says fossil fuel companies should be held partly responsible for extreme weather events https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-04/bass-coast-council-pushes-fossil-fuel-levy-for-recovery-fund/106624424 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#SouthAfrica #SA But it’s not an infinite supply. The groundwater recharges when it rains. When rainfall decreases, aquifers can’t replenish as much. Heavy rainfall during severe droughts could also worsen groundwater quality in instances where water rapidly infiltrates through the dry soil, without undergoing natural groundwater filtering processes https://www.moneyweb.co.za/news/south-africa/boreholes-are-booming-in-a-drying-south-africa/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Italy The Environmental Investigation Agency has raised alarms about the prevalence of illegal smuggling of fluorinated gases into Italy by criminal networks. The EIA's report, Fakes Frauds and F-gases, provides compelling evidence that these criminally sourced refrigerants are commonly sold to major suppliers. As a result, lawful suppliers lose hundreds of millions annually, and the European Union's climate goals also take a hit https://www.thecooldown.com/green-business/illegal-refrigerant-trade-italy-eia-investigation/ #ClimateChange #pollution #climate

A new study has found that 160 million small wetland patches release nearly one-quarter of methane emissions from wetlands outside forests Older satellite maps worked with very large grid squares, so many small wetlands barely registered or disappeared entirely When those wetlands covered only a small part of a grid, the maps often failed to pick them up, leaving large gaps in what was counted https://www.earth.com/news/small-wetlands-are-hiding-a-big-methane-problem-that-climate-models-are-missing/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Women #ghana This region, known for cultivating staple crops such as maize, cassava, yam, and plantain, is experiencing a worrying decline in food production. The transitional zones of Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo, long regarded as key agricultural hubs, are seeing reduced yields largely due to unreliable rainfall and rising temperatures Even when rains do fall, they are often irregular and poorly distributed, making it difficult to plan planting seasons https://countercurrents.org/2026/05/women-farmers-in-ghana-turn-to-agroecology-to-confront-climate-change/ #ClimateChange
