The Hunger Gap A gulf in public understanding prevents us from seeing how and why our food supply is at risk.

In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

The worst possible news

This means 2C will likely be breached in the late 2030s

So much for us being on track for a 2.8C rise by 2100

Ongoing heatwave to fuel further extreme weather on east coast An ongoing heatwave along Australia's eastern seaboard will fuel further extreme weather this weekend, and its longevity is now breaking long standing records.

That’s an amazing and damning statistic

“For every dollar of wealth created since the year 2000, 41 cents have gone to the richest 1% of people, while just one cent has gone to the bottom 50%.”

Global inequality is as urgent as climate change: the world needs a panel of experts to steer solutions There is a great institutional need for strong inequality analysis. That’s why the world needs to establish an International Panel on Inequality.

Coalition's no-zero, pro-coal policy will kill hundreds (and it has nothing to do with the climate) Decades of well-established science shows that keeping coal-fired power stations going longer will kill hundreds of people every year — with taxpayers funding it.

Coalition latest policy - to use tax payer dollars to subsidise more ill health and death in their own electorates

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

How attacking healthcare has become a strategy of war

A two-part infographic showing relationships between five nexus elements: biodiversity, water, food, health, and climate. Part A shows projected future impacts across six different nexus archetypes, ranging from "Nature-oriented nexus" to "Nature overexploitation." Impacts are indicated using blue upward arrows (positive), red downward arrows (negative), and wavy lines (variable). Part B displays six network diagrams showing interactions among the nexus elements. Each diagram represents a different archetype, using circles with icons for each element. Arrows between elements show relationships: Blue arrows indicate positive influences Red arrows indicate negative influences Different arrow thicknesses show magnitude (high, moderate, low) The diagrams progressively show how relationships between elements change from balanced and positive interactions in the "Nature-oriented nexus" to predominantly negative interactions in the "Nature overexploitation" scenario. The visualization demonstrates how different management approaches affect the relationships between environmental, health, and climate factors.

🔍#Biodiversity. Water. Food. Health. #ClimateChange. All of them interact and intersect but how?

Check this new graphic from the @ipbes.net #Nexus Assessment and explore the interactions among the nexus elements.
