Earth’s energy imbalance is the difference between the planet’s incoming and outgoing energy
It has more than doubled just since 1980s.
And from 2020 to 2024, humans added about 200 billion more tons of c02-equivalent greenhouse gases to atmosphere

Climate change is accelerating, scientists find in ‘grim’ report » Yale Climate Connections

They warn that humanity is just three years from overshooting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target, with seas rising faster than ever. But the report also contains a little bit of good news.

Unearthed @unearthednews.bsky.social · May 7

A new trade EU-UK deal could force the UK to restrict a carcinogenic herbicide currently routinely used on UK food crops.

Glyphosate is used to dry out cereal crops before harvest, a practice banned in the EU since 2023. The WHO
classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” in 2015.

EU trade deal could force UK to restrict use of weedkiller linked to cancer

Glyphosate is currently sprayed on cereal and pulse crops to dessicate them and make them easier to harvest

An old article from the Guardian I posted on Mastodon but a very worrying one I thought I'd share here. It's extremely worrying what's happening to our food, water and supply chains and the toxic poisons inside them #ForeverChemicals #ToxicPollution #FoodPollution #PlasticPollution #Environment

Every fraction of a degree matters. So will this latest apocalyptic fact about global warming make you change your lifestyle?

Shifting to a plant-based diet is one of the most significant climate actions you can do - so why are you still eating meat/dairy/fish?

Almost all half-decent laws worldwide
are scrutinised by paid lackeys of billionaires
and then either thrown out,
or amended to insignificance,
or underfunded into minimal enforcement

"Republican House bill guts laws protecting US consumers from toxic chemicals"
