Burned permafrost peatlands release carbon for years after wildfires, researchers find In the face of climate change, permafrost peatland wildfires could play more of a role in the destructive cycle of global warming, University of Alberta research suggests.

Burned permafrost peatlands release carbon for years after wildfires, researchers find
"It could turn these ecosystems from carbon sinks, which absorb harmful greenhouse gas from the atmosphere, into carbon sources."

Shrinking North American bird population is getting worse faster. Experts blame agriculture, warming A new study finds North American bird populations keep dropping, and that decline is speeding up for many species.

Costa Rica gets back to nature after decades of deforestation Paying farmers to swap cattle for conservation has helped sway the balance in biodiversity’s favour

Costa Rica has shown it *IS* possible to bring back nature on a mass scale, as @thinkorswim.bsky.social outlines in this great piece.

Meanwhile in Ireland all we get is, at best, incremental change and fudging.

Why is Irish nature always just an afterthought?

Fascinating summary of NASA studies on contrails.
Better measurement could forecast where persistent contrails are likely to develop and allow pilots to choose better routes that minimize formation. This could reduce ghg warming.

Aviation industry responsible for 5% of global carbon emissions when you include nitrogen oxides, aerosols, and contrails—emissions that aircraft also release bsky.app/profile/ecow...

Deadly bombing of Iran primary school ‘a grave violation of humanitarian law’: UNESCO The UN education agency, UNESCO, says that the bombing of a primary school during the US and Israeli military attacks on Iran on Saturday constitutes a grave violation of humanitarian law.

When the target of the much-vaunted “precision weapons” deployed by Israel and its puppet, the US is a girl’s primary school, with 150+ defenceless children massacred, you’re left in no doubt that this is state terrorism and the perpetrators are vile criminals.

At public meeting on offshore wind farms in Dublin last night, speaker’s Gotcha slide featured monstrously huge turbines looming over Dublin Bay (below, left).

When I asked him to confirm this image is technically accurate, ie verifed by an engineer, turns out nah, Photoshop quickie.

"Ireland’s staggering lack of national ambition on nature, #climate is in marked contrast to Costa Rica, which despite having a fraction of our wealth, has been able to meet fundamental needs of its citizens while respecting nature."

Despite aviation industry being responsible for 5% of global carbon emissions when you include nitrogen oxides, aerosols, and contrails—emissions that aircraft release
Not once have media like BBC Sky CNN rebuked aviation industry bosses when they claim they admit only 2.5%

Contrails are a climate puzzle written across the sky As airlines test new routes and researchers refine models, contrails are shifting from an afterthought of flight to a potential tool for cutting the carbon footprint of aviation.

Aviation is responsible for 2.5% of global carbon dioxide emissions, but aircraft also release nitrogen oxides, aerosols, and contrails so aviation is responsible for 5% of emissions

Contrails are a climate puzzle written across the sky As airlines test new routes and researchers refine models, contrails are shifting from an afterthought of flight to a potential tool for cutting the carbon footprint of aviation.

Most contrails dissipate quickly. But under the right atmospheric conditions, some linger and spread into thin cirrus clouds that trap heat, subtly but persistently altering the climate below

germinate after remaining dormant in a dry, preserved, or frozen state
