Seawater pushed over shorelines up and down the coast of California and spilled onto roadways on Monday and Tuesday as high tides reached record levels. Experts said it was a taste of what the state’s residents should expect throughout the winter as the Pacific Ocean swells from this year’s El Niño.

"We're living in a world of major system collapse, and policymakers are forcing technology into our homes (and data centres into our neighbourhoods) that will undermine the very things that bring meaning to our lives, and that would otherwise help us to cope with a collapsing world."

Most people don’t realise that you don’t actually need fired bricks to build masonry houses. That’s why bricklayers aren’t called ‘bricklayers of fossil-fuelled fired bricks’. Don’t let yourselves become dependent on them – you have excellent jobs and skills. #earthbuilding

New data confirm carbon capture & direct air capture are useless opportunity costs At the capture rate (0.59 MTCO2/y) from new CC/DAC in 2026 where the CO2 isn't used for EOR, it will take 81,000y to build enough CC/DAC to capture the current CO2 emis from fossils & land-use change (47,200 MTCO2/y)

Thwaites is a runaway climate disaster. New studies show how.

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

“For local communities to embrace new developments and to make a dent into the #housing crisis, the government must provide the funding to address schools that are already overcrowded, roads that are gridlocked, and local hospitals under strain.” Chris Rath

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

As habitat destruction, disease and climate change threaten koalas with extinction, successive Australian governments continue to fail the iconic species. An Australia without koalas may be closer than we think ~ Sue Arnold buff.ly/bnPjfEW

A financial crisis does not start when losses appear. It starts when losses reach the system that supplies credit: lenders weaken, funding dries up, and businesses that were managing their own costs cannot refinance. www.forbes.com/sites/we-don...

In the old days I would have said that was a close call, but in today's politics I say it counts as a decisive victory!

"If the government is serious about tackling the cost of living...it should focus its attention on insulating homes and rolling out #cleanenergy, which will cut bills and create good jobs." @jamesdyson.bsky.social @e3g.bsky.social https://bit.ly/3VUOkV6 by @fionaharvey.bsky.social @theguardian.com

For every 1°C of warming, the atmosphere holds 7% more water. 9°F is 5°C. If the air coming off the ocean equilibrates with the warmer surface water, that's 35% more water vapor. Atmospheric Rivers are rightfully called Fire Hoses of precipitation. But now increase the cross section of the hose 😱

While oil is known to float, new research finds that over time it can permeate even extremely deep marine habitats, with animal populations declining by as much as 80 percent.

In the coming century, there will be very few people who have seen a coral reef or a glacier.

People are increasingly urged to become resilient to flooding. Yet many question whether this shifts responsibility from institutions to residents.

Exceeding 1.5°C of warming is now unavoidable. But how much further temperatures rise depends on how quickly we cut emissions. The new #EmissionsGap Report shows how deep those cuts must be to limit warming and make a return to 1.5°C possible. Explore the findings: https://ow.ly/voCP51002C2

I still believe this, 15 years later: "I think that the big open secret about sustainability work and innovation is not how bad things are. The real secret is how good things can get." The meanings have shifted in this discontinuity, but the point holds true. designobserver.com/alex-steffen...
