Here's an update on Arcitc sea-ice extent, which is still at a record low for the date, about 180,000 square kilometers below the previous record daily low set just last year.

This isn't going to end well.

Nature doesn’t negotiate with budgets. When a system survives only because of constant human intervention, it’s no longer an ecosystem…it’s a managed illusion. The façade crumbles when the money stops.

A new weasel species just found in China. Every time I mention “dark extinctions,” people demand proof. But how do you prove the loss of a species we never knew existed?

There are more undiscovered species than known ones.

10 years after the Paris Agreement, we have reached a '3-year average global temperature anomaly of +1.5°C in 2 or more datasets'!

And we can't blame El Niño for this, as ENSO was on average negative during this period.

The Paris Agreement was doomed from the start..

It's going on 64 years since Rachel Carson warned us about the harmful effects of pesticides in her groundbreaking book 'Silent Spring'. We're still learning how harmful they are, yet consumption of these products has doubled since 1990. Increasing use driven by the need to feed a growing population
A new study shows the danger of pesticides isn’t only in what they kill, but in what they change. When bees forage less and fish behave differently, ecosystems begin to fail long before we notice the losses.
