Burning soil and peat drove most emissions in Canada's record 2023 wildfire season, study finds

Most of the carbon released during Canada's record-breaking 2023 wildfire season came from burning soil and peat, rather than trees, according to new research from McMaster University.

Major orangutan study finds Sumatran population fell nearly 20% despite slower forest loss

JAKARTA — The number of Sumatran orangutans has declined by nearly 20% in the past decade and the critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan remains perilously close to extinction despite years of conservation efforts, according to a new study.

Wildfires are raging – and the world has junked 45 climate pledges. Disaster looms, and little wonder | Bill McGuire

Five years ago, I wrote an open letter asking climate scientists to speak out. Now governments are in retreat, it is surely time to act, says climate professor Bill McGuire

Sea salt in Lombok Island, Indonesia is contaminated with microplastics: study

Sea salt sold in markets across Lombok Island, Indonesia, is contaminated with microplastics, according to a recent study. Microplastics are small plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in length that form when larger plastic waste breaks down.

📰 Curb‑cutting Resistance Helped Reshape Tucson’s Urban Ecology

🌧️ Tucson: A man illegally diverted rainwater into streetside basins in 1998. Years later, it transformed a desert neighborhood into a shaded, food‑producing micro‑ecosystem.

🌵 The approach revived Indigenous rain‑harvesting traditions but also caused Tucson to change water management laws to be more nature positive.

In 1998, a man illegally cut holes in a Tucson street curb. The result changed the law.

He ratted himself out to the city when it was clear his water diversion plan had worked.

A win-win, animal crossings make roads safer for wildlife and people

Worldwide, roads act as both death traps and barriers for wildlife, fragmenting the landscapes animals need to survive. However, ecologists and engineers are working to “reconnect the wild” through the strategic construction of wildlife crossings.

Decline in plankton across Northeast Atlantic sends stark warning for ocean health

Microscopic plankton are among the most important organisms on Earth. Phytoplankton produce around half of the oxygen we breathe, while plankton as a whole underpin marine food webs, support fisheries, help regulate carbon and sustain life across the…

Trees have a hidden climate superpower: They keep absorbing carbon long after growth stops

For decades, forests have occupied a central place in discussions about climate change. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, convert it into organic matter and store part of that carbon in their trunks, branches and roots.

This weekend we had a collective work session for 'Another Infrastructure (AI)', an art project about the environmental and social impact of data centres in south Dublin.

Seven artists will build a community-run server and host artist led workshops and events over the next few months, opening conversations about topics including heat, disinformation, tokens, game systems, counter-maps and thneeds.

Including @dasha @yambunz and @aswemaysink
