=====Remember “Dampen the forests”? Now, the Deep South is choking, and wildlife is devastated in Canada.=====
[https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/10/4/2197304/-Dampening-the-forest-floors-the-Deep-South-is-enveloped-in-smoke-and-wildlife-devastation-in-Canada?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=trending&pm_medium=web by Pakalolo 4/10/23 DAILY KOS]
Canadian wildfires are out of sight and out of mind for the most part. The fires only get press when the smoke affects human populations, particularly in the United States, such as New York City or Miami. Yes, all the way down to the Magic City.
=====Ancient wooden tools show human ancestors ate their veggies=====
[https://www.science.org/content/article/ancient-wooden-tools-show-human-ancestors-ate-their-veggies by Andrew Curry 3/7/25 Science]
Proponents of the “paleo diet” like to imagine the deep past as an all-meat barbecue buffet. And thus far, the kinds of tools dating to the dawn of humanity—countless stone blades and choppers, along with a few wooden spears and throwing sticks—seemed to support the idea of a pre-historic diet heavy on mammoth steaks.
=====Aid groups say USAID cuts are already having deadly consequences=====
[https://www.npr.org/2025/05/28/nx-s1-5413322/aid-groups-say-usaid-cuts-are-already-having-deadly-consequences by Gabrielle Emanuel 28/5/25 npr]
President Trump, with the help of Elon Musk, cut billions of dollars in global health programs earlier this year. The administration has dismissed the idea that that had much effect. Here's an exchange between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Democratic Representative Brad Sherman of California during a hearing last week.
=====Subcultures of collapse – will there be a convergence?=====
[https://jembendell.com/2025/06/08/subcultures-of-collapse-will-there-be-a-convergence/ by Prof Jem Bendell 8/6/25]
Many environmentalists have shifted from climate activism to mourning and degrowth, influenced by recent climate data and science. Richard argues they see climate change as unable to be fixed technologically, and prioritise localism, harm reduction and emotional wellbeing, amid disillusionment with both state action and mainstream environmental narratives.
=====What the farmers say=====
[https://jembendell.com/2025/06/21/what-the-farmers-say/ by Prof Jem Bendell 21/6/25]
In my experience, it is rare to hear farmers from the Global South discussing their challenges and aspirations, and what might be useful support to receive from successful restaurateurs and resort owners. That’s why I’m delighted to release a short film that brings you the voices of organic and regenerative farmers in dialogue with others in the food business sector in Bali, Indonesia.
=====Mangroves show surprising resilience to storms in a changing climate=====

The findings, recently published in Global Change Biology, help illuminate the complex process of ecosystem recovery after climate-driven shocks and the value of long-term ecological monitoring.

  Using advanced climate models and high-resolution data, the study projects significant warming in coastal ocean regions by 2100 under high-emission scenarios, with associated changes in salinity and ocean dynamics. These transformations are expected to have profound consequences for biodiversity, fisheries, coastal communities and the wider climate system.

  Researchers have revealed the declining health of coastal marshes several years before visible signs of decline, providing an early warning and an opportunity to protect an ecosystem that serves as the first line of defense against coastal flooding.

  A study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that glaciers in western Canada, the United States, and Switzerland lost around 12% of their ice between 2021 and 2024.

  Our ability to monitor sea-level rise is thanks largely to the long-term record of sea-surface height from satellite radar altimeters, initially provided by the French–US Topex Poseidon satellite and the Jason series of satellites, and now by the Copernicus Sentinel-6 mission.

  Sophisticated computer modeling of the Clyde by researchers at the University of Glasgow suggests that urban planners will need to adopt a "right size, right place" approach to tidal flood management in the years to come.

  On 28 November 1966, an American airplane flies over the Antarctic Peninsula just south of the southernmost tip of Chile. On board is a photographer, probably from the U.S. Navy, whose job is to map the Antarctic landscape. But it turns out that the photographer is also documenting a very special situation that is in progress. He shoots an aerial photo of the Wordie Ice Shelf, which, 30 years later, has almost vanished after a total collapse.

  The European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture has released the results of new study which reveals that regenerative farming systems across Europe are not only environmentally superior but bring higher returns for farmers and are more resilient than conventional models.

  When the head of the Environmental Protection Agency announced a wide-ranging rollback of environmental regulations, he said it would put a “dagger through the heart of climate-change religion” and introduce a “Golden Age” for the American economy.
