There’s a river of molten rock flowing 1,400 miles below the Pacific Ocean in the Earth’s outer core, which is an important part of the planet’s magnetic field. Should we be concerned the river just changed directions? Read more from @sciencefocus@flipboard.com: https://flip.it/VqIZZd #Science #Earth #Geology

There is an alternative to climate breakdown, political extremism, and economic tensions. A set of bold policy proposals, including hefty wealth taxes on billionaires, sharp reductions in working hours, a change in diets and a shift of investment from materially intense sectors, such as industry and mining, to education and health. If these and other measures are taken the incomes of 89% of the world’s population would double by 2100 and global heating would be kept below 2C (3.6F) over the preindustrial average. This vision provides a positive alternative to the grim projections from far-right techno extractivists, nationalists and billionaires who claim the future will inevitably bring more fossil fuels, climate disruption and inequality. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/04/world-inequality-lab-equality-academics-planetary-survival #Earth #ClimateDiary #GreenEnergy #FossilFuels #Climate #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #ClimateCrisis #Nature #Science #TaxBillionaires #NoPlanetB #Economics #Politics #Health #Equality

The world is heading toward the greatest economic crisis of all time. On the one hand, because of Trump’s idiotic war that is blocking the Strait of Hormuz; on the other, because the economy is evaluated solely on the basis of growth. Endless economic growth is the philosophy of a cancer cell. The common good, environmental destruction, and population decline are not factored in at all. This can only lead to a crisis that keeps getting worse. meme #economy #down #downhill #capitalism #war #hormuz #inflation #groth #philosophy #politics #trade #world #worldorder #future #society #trump #finance #poverty #rich #equality #environment #emissions #pollution #earth #civilization #crisis #collapse #apocalypse #doomsday

Agi: Oceani di plastica, lo studio su scala globale: il 93% dei rifiuti sulle spiagge arriva da... AGI - La principale causa di inquinamento da plastica a livello globale e' rappresentata dai rifiuti derivanti da cibo e bevande. Lo evidenzia uno studio, pubblicato sulla rivista One Earth, condotto dagli scienziati dell'Universita' di Plymouth, dell'Agenzia nazionale indonesiana per la ricerca e l'innovazione (BRIN), della Brunel University di Londra e del Plymouth Marine Laboratory. Il team, guidato da Richard Thompson, Max Kelly e Susan Jobling, ha raccolto e valutato oltre 5.000 rilevamenti di rifiuti sulle spiagge per individuare gli elementi predominanti tra la spazzatura marina in tutti e sette i continenti. Gli autori hanno considerato nove sistemi oceanici, 13 mari regionali e 112 nazioni, un'area complessiva che rappresenta l'86 per cento della popolazione mondiale. L'analysis ha rivelato che le plastiche al settore alimentare sono gli elementi predominanti nel 93 per cento dei paesi considerati. Tra gli oggetti piu' frequenti, gli scienziati riportano, ad esempio, imballaggi, tappi, coperchi e bottiglie di plastica. L'allarme degli scienziati: 20 milioni di tonnellate all'anno nell'ambiente Le stime attuali, riportano gli esperti, suggeriscono che ogni anno 20 milioni di tonnellate di rifiuti di plastica entrano nell'ambiente, ed e' chiaro che la sola gestione dei rifiuti non e' sufficiente ad affrontare la sfida dell'inquinamento da plastica. Sono pertanto necessarie misure urgenti per ridurre la quantita' di plastica che raggiunge l'ambiente, ad esempio limitando la produzione ai soli oggetti in grado di apportare un beneficio essenziale alla societa'. "L'inquinamento da plastica - afferma Thompson - rappresenta un problema ambientale globale con gravi ripercussioni negative sull'ambiente, sull'economia e sulla salute umana. Il nostro lavoro evidenzia le categorie di rifiuti piu' abbondanti a livello nazionale, regionale e globale. Tali informazioni sono fondamentali per stabilire la priorita' degli interventi da proporre e sulle topologie specifiche di oggetti su cui concentrarsi". "Questo lavoro - conclude Kelly - fornisce prove inconfutabili del fatto che gli imballaggi monouso per alimenti e bevande sono il principale responsabile dell'inquinamento da plastica nei nostri oceani a livello globale e che le azioni volte a ridurre il consumo di questi articoli rappresenteranno un passo fondamentale per affrontare questa sfida ambientale globale". Oceans of plastic, a global study: 93% of waste on beaches comes from… AGI - The main cause of plastic pollution globally is represented by waste from food and beverages. This is highlighted by a study, published in the One Earth journal, conducted by scientists from the University of Plymouth, the Indonesian National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Brunel University London, and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory. The team, led by Richard Thompson, Max Kelly, and Susan Jobling, collected and evaluated over 5,000 waste measurements on beaches to identify the predominant elements in marine litter across all seven continents. The authors considered nine ocean systems, 13 regional seas, and 112 nations, a total area representing 86 percent of the world’s population. The analysis revealed that plastics related to the food sector are the predominant elements in 93 percent of the countries considered. Among the most frequent items, scientists report, for example, packaging, caps, lids, and plastic bottles. The scientists’ warning: 20 million tons per year in the environment Current estimates, according to experts, suggest that 20 million tons of plastic waste enter the environment each year, and it is clear that waste management alone is not sufficient to address the challenge of plastic pollution. Urgent measures are therefore needed to reduce the amount of plastic that reaches the environment, for example, by limiting production to only objects that bring a essential benefit to society. “Plastic pollution – says Thompson – represents a global environmental problem with serious negative repercussions on the environment, the economy, and human health. Our work highlights the most abundant waste categories at the national, regional, and global level. Such information is fundamental to establishing the priority of interventions to be proposed and on the specific topologies of objects on which to focus.” “This work – concludes Kelly – provides irrefutable proof that single-use food and beverage packaging is the main culprit of plastic pollution in our oceans globally, and that actions aimed at reducing the consumption of these articles will represent a fundamental step in addressing this global environmental challenge.” #Earth #RichardThompson #MaxKelly #SusanJobling #86percent #93percent #20milliontons #Thompson #Kelly https://www.agi.it/scienza/news/2026-05-22/plastica-oceani-rifiuti-cibo-37184697/

Domani: Ad aprile i mari hanno avuto temperature record. Perché è un grosso problema Secondo i nuovi dati di Copernicus, le temperature delle acque ad aprile sono state le più alte mai registrate dall’uomo dopo quelle dello stesso mese del 2024. E con il fenomeno del Niño in arrivo nei prossimi mesi, tutto fa supporre che si alzeranno ancora: «Un oceano caldo significa che il riscaldamento globale è profondamente radicato nel sistema della terra. Sono anni che lo diciamo. Se vogliamo arrivare a un punto di non ritorno, siamo sulla strada giusta», dice Sandro Carniel del Cnr In April, the seas had record temperatures. It’s a big problem. According to the latest data from Copernicus, water temperatures in April were the highest ever recorded by humans, after those of the same month in 2024. And with the El Niño phenomenon arriving in the coming months, it all suggests that they will rise further: “A warm ocean means that global warming is deeply rooted in the Earth’s system. We’ve been saying that for years. If we want to reach a point of no return, we are on the right track,” says Sandro Carniel of the CNR. #Copernicus #ElNiño #Earth #SandroCarniel https://www.editorialedomani.it/ambiente/crisi-climatica-aprile-mari-temperature-record-copernicus-perche-problema-jg3f7rdn

RaiNews: Concertone, Sayf lancia il 'mondo' al pubblico: "E' vostro, ragazzi" Sul palco un gruppo di performer con maschere da maiale, forse raffiguranti i potenti della Terra, con le mani su un pallone mappamondo. "Litigano, rubano il petrolio, ammazzano la gente", dice Sayf, poi lancia il pallone in mezzo al pubblico Concertone, Sayf launches ‘the world’ to the public: “It’s yours, kids.” On stage, a group of performers wearing pig masks, perhaps depicting the powerful people of the Earth, with their hands on a world globe. “They fight, they steal oil, they kill people,” says Sayf, then throws the globe into the audience. #Concertone #Earth https://www.rainews.it/video/2026/05/concertone-sayf-lancia-mondo-al-pubblico-e-vostro-3336eb9e-1844-42dc-8a39-54b1db262d9f.html

An active rift in the African continent has reached a “critical threshold” and will break apart soon. "We found that rifting in this zone is more advanced, and the crust is thinner, than anyone had recognized," says Christian Rowan, a geoscientist at Columbia University. Here’s more from @ScienceAlert@flipboard.com, including just how soon “soon” means: https://flip.it/0HeDb2 #Science #Africa #Geology #Earth #Nature

Here is what April knows that we keep forgetting: the dogwood blooms by wounding. Each bract — what we call the petal — is a leaf that scarred itself open, a piece of tissue that tore at its margin and healed into something people drive across counties to witness. Guarded and radiant. Not one then the other. Both, in the same white face of the same flower, at the same time. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtq

Mother of the earth, I am here. I come carrying two things today and they don't sit well together: the impulse to guard — to wall, to close, to cover the throat — and the radiance that keeps pushing up through the cracks like those damn redbud shoots that split asphalt. I lay them both here. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/3-4-2026-mourning-a-loss #meditation #spirituality #druid #earth #nature #eco #gaia #brigid #pagan #trans #queer #lgbtq
