The world is burning. At this point, should not be an abstract concept anywhere, anymore. 🙁 Time to act to mitigate/reduce global warming/climate change = now... Really, it was several decades ago. 😡

Vietnam records highest ever temperature of 44.1C (111.38F).

A climate scientist told AFP: "I believe this record will be repeated many times. It confirms that extreme climate models are being proven to be true.”

Damn, this sucks...

About 60% of monkeys, apes, and lemurs are currently threatened with extinction, and climate change is only a part of it.

Habitat loss, hunting, the illegal pet trade, and disease have already cut back primate populations. Climate change will likely increase the duration and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones and droughts, putting more pressure on the survival of already struggling species.

La temperatura del mar se sale de los registros: “Entramos en terreno desconocido”

El agua del mar medida a comienzos de abril es la más caliente, al menos, de los últimos 45 años debido al final del fenómeno de La Niña, que camuflaba el calor acumulado por el efecto invernadero :bd08:

Do you have your money in a bank that funds fossil fuels? The top four offenders in the U.S. are Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citibank. They continue to invest in more and more climate-destroying fossil fuel extraction.

Please do not support them!

Defense Ministry preparing for extreme hot weather as #ClimateChange sets in

The Ministry said that it has put together an #ExtremeWeather scenario for government ministries so the country can prepare for the possibility of a #crisis caused by scorching temperatures during summer #heatwaves.
The document imagines two “severe” heatwaves of 3 to 4 days each, twice a month, throughout the summer from June to September, with temperatures reaching up to 49°C

"Millionaires will burn through two-thirds of the world’s carbon budget by 2050, scientists warn"

To limit global warming to below 1.5°C, we can only burn a certain amount of carbon.

But millionaire emissions alone will deplete 72% of this allowance before 2050, according to a new scientific paper.

“Continued growth in emissions at the top makes a low-carbon transition less likely, as the acceleration of energy consumption by the wealthiest is likely beyond the system's capacity to decarbonize,” the scientists warn.

The research coincides with the release of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, which warns that a ‘liveable future’ requires urgent emissions cuts.

Here's a cheery article for you...

"The Sixth Mass Extinction is happening now, and it doesn’t look good for us"

In the timeline of fossil evidence going right back to the first inkling of any life on Earth — over 3.5 billion years ago — almost 99% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct. That means that as species evolve over time — a process known as ‘speciation’ — they replace other species that go extinct.

Extinctions and speciations do not happen at uniform rates through time. Instead, they tend to occur in large pulses interspersed by long periods of relative stability. These extinction pulses are what scientists refer to as mass extinction events.

At least five mass extinction events have been identified in the fossil record. Mounting evidence is pointing to the world having entered a sixth mass extinction. If the current rate of extinction continues, we could lose most species by 2200.

According to the fossil record, the average ‘lifespan’ of a species is around one million years, which equates to a background rate of about 0.1–2.0 extinctions per million ‘species-years’. This makes the number of observed extinctions in the modern era 10 to 10,000 times higher than the background rate. Even the most conservative estimates that ignore undetected extinctions firmly place the modern era well within the expected range to qualify as a mass extinction.

Most of the damage to the Earth’s life-support system has happened over the last century. The global human population has tripled since 1950, and there are now approximately one million species threatened with imminent extinction due to massive population declines, representing about 10–15 percent of all complex life on Earth.

Recent evidence suggests global warming causes up to ten times more extinctions than we might expect by looking only at a species’ upper temperature limit. In fact, when we take the relationships between species into account — such as predators depending on their prey, parasites depending on their hosts, or flowering plants depending on their pollinators — near-future extinctions are expected to sky-rocket.
