Oh Great, something else to worry about. I'd read that salting of roads in Canada was genderbending toads or salmon or something, but this is a whole new level of OhFFS.

What Does Global Land Climate Look Like at 2°C Warming?
Abstract
Constraining an increase in global mean temperature below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels is critical to limiting dangerous and cascading impacts of anthropogenic climate change. Understanding future climatic changes and their spatial heterogeneity at 2°C warming is thus important for policy makers to prepare actionable adaptation and mitigation plans by identifying where and to what extent lives and livelihoods will be impacted. This study uses the recently released NASA Earth eXchange Global Daily Downscaled Projections (NEX-GDDP) CMIP6 data to provide a broad overview of projected changes in six key climate variables and two climate impact indicators at a time when warming exceeds 2°C. Analysis of global mean temperature changes indicates the 2040s as the decade when most CMIP6 models reach 2°C warming with respect to a pre-industrial period (1850–1900). During the 2040s, we find that global mean temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, downwelling shortwave and longwave radiation, and wind speed over land under the high emission scenario are projected to change by +2.8°C, +22.4 mm/year, −0.73%, −2.23 , +15.9 W/m2, and −0.04 m/s, respectively. Many of the future changes are expected to exacerbate climate impacts including heat stress and fire danger. Our analysis shows geographic patterns of policy-relevant climatic changes, as parts of the globe will experience significant climate impacts even if the goal to keep warming below 2°C goal is achieved. Our results highlight the urgent need for further studies focused on identifying key hotspots and advancing region-specific actionable adaptation and mitigation plans.- oh noes!zardoz

First the earthquake in Morocco and now the flooding and dam failure in Eastern Libya - nearly 5000 lives lost in a week in North Africa.

Parts of tropical rainforests could get too hot for photosynthesis, study suggests
Some leaves in tropical forests from South America to South East Asia are getting so hot they may no longer be able to photosynthesize, with big potential consequences for the world’s forests, according to a new study.
Leaves’ ability to photosynthesize – the process by which they make energy from carbon dioxide, sunlight and water – begins to fail when their temperature reaches around 46.7 degrees Celsius (116 Fahrenheit).
While this may seem high, leaves can get much hotter than the air temperature, according to the report published Wednesday in Nature by a group of scientists from countries including the US, Australia and Brazil.

Supermarket AI meal planner app suggests recipe that would create chlorine gas
A New Zealand supermarket experimenting with using AI to generate meal plans has seen its app produce some unusual dishes – recommending customers recipes for deadly chlorine gas, “poison bread sandwiches” and mosquito-repellent roast potatoes.- well I'm off to make some “aromatic water mix”Nutter

Individual action won't save the planet. Corporations, enabled by governments, did the damage and only they have the reach to undo it.
- If anything will save the planet, it's profit. Things just need to get bad enough that the profit mechanic can kick in.

So we’ve been hearing the alarm bells for years and now finally we’re starting to see concrete evidence for ourselves, it’s all around us and all over the news, we’re living it.The big question and one that nobody’s talking about is what do we do?
Stop driving gas cars?
Live in 15 minute cities?
Buy local only?
Stop buying cheap shit from China?
Switch to renewable energy?Instead of listening to doom and gloom, what are concrete steps that we can take to actually address this?
And it’s not fucking paper straws lol

Antarctica’s heatwaves are a warning to humanity – and we have only a narrow window to save the planet
Antarctica’s sea ice levels are plummeting as extreme weather events happen faster than scientists predicted
Antarctica is currently experiencing dramatic changes at unprecedented rates, marked by repeated extreme events. These include circum-Antarctic summer heatwaves and an autumn heatwave last year, with temperatures soaring up to 40C above the average. Moreover, both last summer and this winter, sea ice extent has reached record lows. These changes have happened even faster than scientists predicted.
These changes coincide with a broader global pattern of extreme air and sea surface temperatures, wildfires, floods, disease and other events deeply impacting ecosystems and society. Scientists have warned society about global climate change and its impacts since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s first report in the early 1990s. The Antarctic community has done so repeatedly too. These warnings are now being realised.
