RT Bloomberg Live (@BloombergLive)We are identifying areas of opportunity and challenges in the climate investing landscape and what public and private sector goal setting looks like in a world beyond 1.5C at #BloombergGreen. #ClimateWeekNYC. ...

There's more to worsening wildfires than climate change, writes @lararhiannnonw (via @opinion) https://t.co/oOyCHKr9FV ...

The consequences of climate change on pregnant women and their babies have become clear in recent years, but the reasons why have not. New research is trying to change that https://t.co/mfrThrQ0Pi ...

Today on “The Intelligence”: how climate change is making malaria worse, China’s food-delivery race to the bottom and competitive python-hunting in Florida. Listen now https://t.co/y9lV6iH0Zm ...

Climate Change & Environmental Concerns - Climate change is framed as a series of natural disasters, aligning with proximity bias, where risk is considered nearby in time or space [9] - The amplification of the hydrological cycle, leading to whiplash between extremely dry and extremely wet conditions, is consistent with a warming climate [15] - A reconstruction of runoff in Swift Current Creek shows that 2021 was the driest year in 260 years, with the last time being 1760 [14] - The number of days with temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius has decreased significantly since the 1950s in Indian Head, Saskatchewan [5][6] Urban Planning & Sustainability - Collective imagination envisions idyllic modern cities without cars and trucks, highlighting a disconnect with current car-centric urban planning [19] - In Regina, 476% of private land downtown is used for parking, indicating an over-incentivization of driving [20] - Within 3 kilometers of home in Regina, all goods and services are accessible, walkable in less than 45 minutes, yet driving is preferred [20] - Helsinki has one in three residents owning a car, and downtown Oslo is essentially car-free, demonstrating the possibility of pedestrian-centric communities [21] - Southwood Circle in Winnipeg is under construction, designed with transportation by bike, foot, and skis, with workplaces, restaurants, shops, and workout facilities within walking distance [22][23] Consumption & Lifestyle - The solution to climate change is simple but difficult due to the love for a comfortable fossil-fueled lifestyle [24] - Social media trends like under-consumption and slow fashion advocate for consuming less, including cooking, wearing vintage clothing, hanging clothes to dry, and gardening [24][25]

Groundwater Importance & Challenges - Groundwater is often overlooked despite comprising 98% of Earth's fresh, liquid water [11] - Over half of global river flows are sustained by groundwater, potentially reaching 100% in dry seasons or areas lacking dams/major rivers [13][14] - Approximately 25 billion people rely on groundwater for their water supply, with projections indicating an additional 600 million by 2100 [15] - Climate change impacts on rainfall are complex, with models varying on whether regions will become wetter or drier, increasing reliance on groundwater [18][20] Scientific & Technical Difficulties - Understanding groundwater systems is challenging due to high costs of bore drilling and sample analysis (upwards of $1,000 per sample) [21] - Hydraulic conductivity can vary drastically (e.g., gravel being 100 billion times greater than clay), complicating analysis [22] Call to Action - Increased groundwater pumping is anticipated due to climate change and population growth, necessitating understanding and minimizing potential impacts [24] - Collaboration between industry, universities, and schools is crucial to address the "wicked problem" of groundwater management and encourage more people to work in this field [25]

On “The Intelligence” @robertguest1 explains why climate change will make malaria far more widespread—and how a “mosquito taxi” is part of the solution. Listen now https://t.co/61RM80Ac9y ...

Higher temperatures are having a devastating impact on some pregnant women and their babies. The trend is apparent around the world, and is projected to get worse https://t.co/9COvLzTdmXIllustration: Agnes Jonas https://t.co/JrTaT0z2ih ...

Industry Focus - Offshore wind opponents are pressuring Brown University to retract research produced by a climate lab [1]

In the past decade or so, interest in commercial skiing in South America has risen. Yet now, as the world warms, the industry is facing an uphill climb https://t.co/oCoN21bdd8 ...
