More Latin American species are surfacing at a Bangkok wildlife market

More Amazonian species, in larger numbers, are appearing for sale on the other side of the planet in Southeast Asia’s exotic pet trade, reports contributor Gloria Dickie for Mongabay. Over the past two years, Scott Roberton, who leads the countertrafficking program for U.S.-based nonprofit Wildlife Conservation Society, has observed a rise in Latin American species, […]

#Australia Weather is only part of a catastrophic fire. Another factor is fuel – combustible vegetation. Our new research, published today, shows the current fuel load in some Australian forests is not “natural”. It is a product of colonisation, which loaded Australian landscapes with fuel a century before human-made climate change began https://theconversation.com/colonisation-not-climate-change-first-primed-these-forests-to-burn-292997 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
Colonisation, not climate change, first primed these forests to burn

Colonisation, not climate change, first primed these forests to burn

For more than 800 years, frequent cultural burning kept this land as stable, open woodland.

#Himalaya • The Himalayas are known as Earth’s “third pole” due to the massive accumulation of snow and ice there • A new study details how soot from brick kilns in India is coating glaciers, impacting regional albedo, & speeding up melt rates by one-third • Nepal's deadly flash flood in August was a wake-up call to the region’s growing ecological instability https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a74036997/black-carbon-himalayas/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#canada Despite growing discussion among political observers and environmental advocates about the government’s climate agenda, climate change remains well down the list of issues Canadians want Ottawa focused on right now. Just 13% of Canadians rank climate change and the environment among the top three issues facing the country today https://abacusdata.ca/climate-concern-remains-high-but-affordability-still-dominates-canadians-priorities/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#canada the changes made to Alberta’s industrial carbon market are simply not sufficient to put the system on firm footing nationally. In fact, the price of carbon credits in Alberta has actually declined since the MOU was signed. Industrial carbon pricing needed fixing when Carney took office, and it still needs fixing now https://climateinstitute.ca/the-evolving-carney-climate-plan/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#canada “With this agreement, the federal government risks doing significant damage to minimum national standards that will have broader impacts on Canada’s climate change efforts. Such standards are essential to maintain economic cohesion and avoid a dysfunctional patchwork of provincial policies with conflicting market signals https://climateinstitute.ca/news/mou-alberta-canada-risks-unravelling-canada-climate-policy/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Federal-Alberta MOU risks unravelling Canada’s climate policy

While promised improvements to industrial carbon pricing are positive and important, other aspects of Alberta-Canada MOU will undermine policy effectiveness across the country.

#canada The report's projections show Canada will fall well short of its 2030 climate goal — just halfway to its target of a 40 to 45 per cent reduction below 2005 levels https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emissions-reduction-plan-greenhouse-gas-projections-9.7020385 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#canada What was particularly remarkable this year was the exceptionally rapid rate at which burned area accumulated over a very short period of time. Estimates indicate that approximately 94% of the total area burned occurred during the five weeks between end of June and end of July (CWFIS, 2026) https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change-canada-wildfires-2026/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Researchers at Northwest A&F University, working with colleagues in Spain, have found that when biodegradable polylactic acid, or PLA, microplastics are mixed into orchard soil, the soil dramatically ramps up its emissions of two potent greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide https://bioengineer.org/biodegradable-plastics-may-be-worse-for-the-climate-than-conventional-ones-soil-study-finds/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
