Around 63% of riverine fish will experience more persistent thermal barriers under a high-emissions scenario, with thermal fragmentation accelerating over time. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted conservation strategies to safeguard freshwater fish biodiversity

Climate warming drives thermal shocks and accelerated freshwater habitat fragmentation - Nature Climate Change
Assessing 9,809 freshwater fish species globally, this study shows risk to a high proportion of species in the tropics, and severe extremes in non-tropical regions.Nature
Tokyo’s average temperature has risen by about 3°C over the past century. About 1°C of this increase is attributed to climate change, while another 2°C is linked to the urban heat island effect, The Japan Times reports, citing Kazutaka Oka, head of the Climate Change Impact Monitoring Section at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES)

🍄🟫There’s a Global Network of Fungi under your Feet. This is the first Complete Map.
A new study has succeeded in mapping, on a global scale, the fungal network that supports plant life and helps regulate our planet’s climate.
Beneath the Earth's surface lies an extraordinary underground fungal network of almost unimaginable scale. An international team of researchers has, for the first time, produced a global map of this vast mycorrhizal network — the system of fungal filaments that forms mutually beneficial partnerships with plants across the planet. They estimate that the network stretches for roughly 110 quadrillion kilometers in total, nearly 1 billion times the distance between the Earth and the sun. The findings were published in Science.
science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc…
⁉️The scientists warn that less dense fungal networks could reduce the soil's capacity to store carbon and recycle nutrients.⁉️
“Mycorrhizal fungi have shaped life on Earth for hundreds of millions of years, yet we still know remarkably little about how the infrastructure of these living transport systems is distributed across the planet,” said coauthor Merlin Sheldrake. “This study marks an exciting step toward understanding how this planetary circulatory system functions, and it points to ways we can work more effectively with fungi to address many of the defining challenges of our time, from food security to climate change.”

Escaping reality.
70 of Australia’s leading scientists have signed an open letter calling on the Australian Government to implement a 25% tax on gas exports. The tax, could raise $17 billion annually
Fossil fuels are the root cause of the literal hot mess we are in – it makes complete sense to tax them & place this money back into climate & adaptation science, so that we are far better equipped for the long road ahead

“We are at a critical point in the climate crisis”: Australian scientists call for 25% gas export tax

suddenly fossil fuels are far more expensive than renewables. Suddenly it is green technologies that are generating vast employment and income. Suddenly, technological barriers that looked insuperable have come tumbling down. Suddenly, fossil-funded politicians look outmoded, ridiculous, corrupt. Suddenly, we are waking up to the need for urgent action, as heat shocks hammer the message home

Global #Plastics Treaty Negotiations: Success is still possible
Plastic #pollution is causing severe problems worldwide. However, negotiations at the #UN in Geneva last August did not result in the expected global plastics treaty.
