CBC: This atmospheric trend is devastating crops (and no one’s talking about it)

Scientists have coined a new term: thirstwaves. The phenomenon occurs during extended periods of unusually high evaporation — caused not from a lack of rain, but because the air is extra thirsty. Johanna Wagstaffe breaks down how thirstwaves could seriously affect farming and water supplies.

Can renewable energy survive climate change?

As #droughts reduce #hydropower and #clouds dim #solar output around the world, experts say #meteorology and #ClimateScience must be at the heart of the #energy transition.

Yet, even as the push for renewables gains momentum – driven by cheaper technology and an urgent need to slash carbon emissions – experts are waving cautionary flags: Because renewable energy sources depend on weather conditions, climate change is increasingly dictating, and jeopardizing, renewable energy production.

#ExtremeWeather is our new reality. We must accept it and begin planning
Gaia Vince

As #wildfires, #floods, #droughts and record-breaking temperatures have shown, the post-climate change era has arrived. Now we need honesty and action from our leaders

well, ahem, trouble is, have you seen "our leaders"? good luck with getting any honesty and action from them.

#ClimateCrisis ‘wreaking havoc’ on #Earth’s #watercycle
#GlobalHeating is supercharging storms, #floods and #droughts, affecting entire ecosystems and billions of people
Rising temperatures, caused by burning #fossilfuels, disrupt #water cycle. Warmer air holds more water vapour, leading to more intense downpours. Warmer seas provide more energy to hurricanes and typhoons. #ClimateChange also increases drought by causing more evaporation from soil, and shifting rainfall. theguardian.com/world/2025/jan

Learning interrupted

"Climate shocks are disrupting children’s education, putting their learning and their futures at risk."

"A new UNICEF analysis reveals that at least 242 million students in 85 countries or territories had their schooling disrupted by extreme climate events including heatwaves, tropical cyclones, storms, floods and droughts in 2024, exacerbating an existing learning crisis."
