Price Increases - Lettuce prices jumped 300% [1] - Spanish olive oil prices rose 15% [1] - US vegetable prices increased 80% [1] Climate Change Impact - A study links the price spikes to climate change [1]

Environmental Impact & Conservation - Sea turtles play a vital role in maintaining healthy seagrass beds and coral reefs within the ocean ecosystem [2] - Coastal development, including infrastructure like hotels and houses near beaches, disturbs sea turtle nesting processes [3] - Climate change, exemplified by the construction of sea walls, can impede turtles from reaching nesting beaches [4] - Pollution, specifically plastic mistaken for jellyfish and chemical runoff, poses a significant threat to sea turtles [5] - A disease causing tumors impacts sea turtles' ability to swim, see, and eat, affecting populations globally [5] - Conservation efforts, such as protecting nests, reducing plastic usage, and supporting conservation groups, are crucial for sea turtle survival [6] Population Trends & Challenges - Sea turtle populations are declining rapidly due to pollution, poaching, coastal development, and climate change [6] - Data collection on sea turtle populations was limited between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic [3] - Sea turtles require specific nesting environments: soft sandy beaches, warm temperatures, low light, and clean surroundings [4] - Despite challenges, Pinang remains an important nesting site for sea turtles, highlighting the need for continued conservation efforts [2][6]

Green Technology Innovation - Hostility towards climate change may drive green technology innovation by forcing a rethink of wasteful subsidies [1] - Government efforts may refocus on the most promising technologies to scale [1]

Climate Change Impact - Climate change is causing floods to become more deadly and costly [1] - Communities at risk are facing difficult economic choices due to climate change [1] Expert Perspectives - Rick Spinrad (former NOAA head), Joshua Saks (Climate Center), Zhirji28, and Kara Carlson are discussing the issue [1]

On today’s Big Take podcast, @sarahsholder talks to former @NOAA head Rick Spinrad, @Climate_Center’s Joshua Saks, @Zhirji28 and @KaraCarlson2 about how climate change is making floods deadlier and costlier — and the difficult economic choices facing communities at risk.🎙️ Listen now: https://t.co/yT3DsoVeH6 ...

Climate Change & Extreme Weather - New science is addressing the complex relationship between global warming and extreme rainfall [1] - The report explores whether climate change is exacerbating floods [1]

Sustainable Energy Shift - Tesla is driving the shift to sustainable energy [1] - Tesla utilizes electric cars, solar power, and batteries [1] - The company aims to cut fossil fuel use and fight climate change [1]

Carbon Credit Market Overview - Carbon credit is presented as a new sustainable currency that can be monetized for doing good [1][2] - The global goal is to reduce 2°C, and carbon credit is a concept that incentivizes emission reduction [9][10] - Developed countries are setting carbon emission limits and investing in climate projects, creating a market for carbon credits [13] - Carbon market involves trading between carbon emitters and those reducing carbon emissions [12] Cook to Earn Concept - The "cook to earn" concept is being implemented, where rural women are paid for using clean energy for cooking [7] - In Bangladesh, 17% of people cook with unclean fuels, leading to indoor air pollution and over 100,000 deaths annually [5][7] - Shifting from unclean to clean energy allows for tracking cooking data, converting it to carbon credits, and paying the cooks [6] - The project uses IoT devices in stoves to track cooking data, which is then certified and sold as carbon credits [13][14] Business Potential and Examples - Elon Musk's Tesla earned over $16 billion in 2020 from selling carbon credits to competitors [15][16] - Carbon credit prices vary from $1 to $4 per ton, and up to $15 to $25 per ton for digitally monitored, reviewed, and verified (DMRV) carbon [17][18] - In some cases, carbon credit prices can reach $8,200 [19] - Companies buy carbon credits to build reputation and comply with regulations [20] - Rice production in Bangladesh emits methane, which is 25 times more harmful than carbon dioxide, presenting an opportunity for carbon projects [21][22]
