suggesting fish may be exploiting prey that also concentrates near those boundaries. That spatial clustering means catch rates near hypoxic edges will be elevated, and stock assessments built on standard distribution assumptions could be systematically off https://www.ecoportal.net/en/fish-lake-erie-oxygen-depleted-zones/31651/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Periods of ⁠extreme ⁠heat are becoming more frequent, ⁠intense and longer-lasting as climate change warms the planet, the U.N. ​weather agency said on Tuesday, noting changes since the famously hot European summer of 1976. Parts ‌of Europe are enduring their fifth ‌heatwave of a summer marked by drought, wildfires and record-breaking temperatures https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2026-08-11/extreme-heat-becoming-more-frequent-and-intense-un-agency-says #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Hermit crabs spread the seeds of a parasitic plant through their droppings — an unexpected ecological partnership https://phys.org/news/2026-08-secret-gardeners-parasitic.html In the coastal forests of a tropical Japanese island near Okinawa grows an inconspicuous plant that is easy to mistake for a mushroom. It is a non-green parasite that feeds on the roots of other… #science #biology #ecology

#AI #tech A new peer-reviewed study, using energy-economic modeling, finds that when AI is adopted at similar rates across fossil fuel and renewable energy sectors, its fossil fuel applications enable more emissions than its renewable energy applications avoid https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/933229421/study-finds-ai-s-fossil-fuel-applications-outweigh-its-climate-benefits-raising-global-emissions-up-to-1-8-gt-annually #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

From nuclear energy to lab-grown meat, the list of effective but unpopular climate solutions is long. sheds light on why people reject or accept some proposed sustainability technologies: If it doesn’t seem natural, they won’t go for it. “We found that naturalness predicts support over and above a lot of other things you might think matter, like risk & benefit perceptions or how much people understand the technology,” https://www.colorado.edu/today/2026/08/10/it-natural-how-our-affinity-naturalness-can-save-or-sink-new-climate-solutions #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment

Traditional plastic forks shed harmful microplastics. Plastic created from sugar is an alternative The Associated Press 8–10 minutes WOBURN, Mass. (AP) — At a Massachusetts lab, pebble-sized pellets are transformed into forks and films that won't leave persistent microplastics in the environment https://www.audacy.com/kdkaradio/news/business/biobased-biodegradable-plastics-climate-compost-838fb5b4619e5020e3c01157a312a5d8 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#USA #US The contiguous United States sizzled to its hottest month ever last month, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. July averaged 76.89 degrees Fahrenheit (24.94 degrees Celsius) across the Lower 48 states, eclipsing the Dust Bowl’s July 1936 by an eighth of a degree. Records go back to 1895 https://www.audacy.com/wtic/news/national/hottest-month-july-climate-change-4a9d612281485356103631f0f09b61af-2677683367 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

The globally averaged CO2 level reached 425.6±0.1 parts per million, a 53% increase from the preindustrial level of ~278 parts per million. Fossil fuel emissions in 2025 were also a record high in 2025, estimated to be 10.3±0.5 petagrams of carbon per year, more than three times the 3.0±0.2 petagrams of carbon per year in the 1960s https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1139418 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Europe Surprisingly, natural disasters and climate change have long been discussed in quite separate policy worlds. Last year, a United Nations report found a lack of policy coherence between disaster risk management and climate change adaptation in Europe https://theconversation.com/can-the-searing-european-summer-put-climate-action-back-on-the-agenda-or-will-disaster-response-take-over-289151 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Acne Flares May be Worsened by Climate Change While potentially protective, Boos and colleagues noted that cutaneous bacteria may be more vulnerable to higher effective UV radiation doses at increased temperatures, which are direct consequences of the changing climate. https://www.dermatologytimes.com/view/acne-flares-may-be-worsened-by-climate-change #ClimateEmergency #pollution #environment #ecology #ClimateCrisis #ClimateCatastrophe #CllimateChange #dermatology

#Germany Germany: As temperatures rise, so does climate skepticism Some 98% of active climate scientists say climate change is happening, and is man-made. Nonetheless, a new study shows the number of climate-change skeptics in Germany has increased https://www.dw.com/en/germany-as-temperatures-rise-so-does-climate-skepticism/a-78206354 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

In Frederik Pohl's Gateway, he describes the "food mines". Growing fungi on organic-rich rocks to feed the masses. IRL, there are entire natural ecosystems that are organized around such a base.
