Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

At present the issue is how to reinforce existing infrastructure or fortify shoreline, or relocate, Indigenous villages. In future decades major coastal cities around the world will face the same dilemma. Metres of sea-level rise are committed, even if we succeed in reaching net zero.
Storms that battered Alaska’s western coast this fall have brought renewed attention to low-lying Indigenous villages left increasingly vulnerable by climate change.
Alaska Native villages have few options and little US help as climate change devours their land

Climate tipping points are close: scientists urge radical action before it’s too late
Tipping point risks are interconnected. Most interactions among them are destabilising, meaning that tipping one system into disaster makes tipping another more likely.

Climate tipping points are close: scientists urge radical action before it’s too late
Dangerous climate tipping points will threaten food, water and coastlines. They’re irreversible and only radically accelerated climate action can stop them now.

Emerging evidence for abrupt #Antarctic changes: declining sea ice, slowing ocean circulation, reduction in ice sheets and changing ecosystems. theconversation.com/from-sea-ice...
From sea ice to ocean currents, Antarctica is now undergoing abrupt changes – and we’ll all feel them
The vast ice of Antarctica has long seemed impregnable. But sudden changes are arriving – from shrinking sea ice to melting ice sheets and slowing ocean currents.
