Heat and cold alter how animals fight disease. As the climate changes, this knowledge may be vital https://theconversation.com/heat-and-cold-alter-how-animals-fight-disease-as-the-climate-changes-this-knowledge-may-be-vital-276623 #climatechange #environment #health #science #biology #STEM

Warnings about melting glaciers and rising sea levels may not move people as much as one simple message — climate change is harming your health. A major global study has found that people are twice as likely to support urgent government action on climate change when they are informed about its direct impact on human health, including air pollution, extreme heat, food shortages and disease risks https://indianpsu.com/health-messages-more-effective-than-climate-warnings-global-study/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#UK 8 in 10 Brits would be concerned if the UK became reliant on America for gas, as US imports rise over 40% in 2026 01 May. 2026 Nearly three in five (56%) people say the UK should prioritise transitioning to renewable energy and net zero technologies, such as solar and heat pumps, to meet its future energy needs https://eciu.net/media/press-releases/8-in-10-brits-would-be-concerned-if-the-uk-became-reliant-on-america-for-gas-as-us-imports-rise-over-40-in-2026 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

While the world is a big place, humans are making greater and greater demands on the same areas of land. "This means that, unless we use the same land to serve multiple needs and coordinate this effort through planning, it is unlikely that we will have enough land for conservation, food and energy," https://phys.org/news/2026-04-ease-food-energy-biodiversity-conflicts.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#UK Commenting on new Government data that shows that the UK has seen more than 27,000 solar installations completed in March 2026 - the highest monthly total since 2012 - and total solar capacity in the UK surpassed two million installations (across solar farms and rooftops) for the first time ever https://eciu.net/media/press-releases/uk-solar-installations-peak-following-iran-war-comment #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Boston #Massachusetts #USA #US Boston’s New Climate Plan Is At Odds With Boston’s New Transportation Policies Mayor Wu's climate plan calls on the city to cut traffic and "transform" its transportation system, but City Hall leadership is cancelling and delaying projects that would actually accomplish those goals https://mass.streetsblog.org/2026/04/30/bostons-new-climate-plan-is-at-odds-with-bostons-new-transportation-policies #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Nairobi The study, conducted by the IGAD Centre of Excellence for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (ICEPCVE), found that by the time climate-induced material grievances such as drought, vegetation decline, livestock loss, displacement, and loss of livelihoods are formally captured in states’ Early Warning and Early Response (EWER) systems, extremist organisations have often already reframed those hardships into powerful recruitment narratives https://eastleighvoice.co.ke/news/341751/igad-study-reveals-armed-groups-exploiting-drought-and-displacement-to-drive-violent-extremism #ClimateChange

#Netherlands The availability of clean drinking water in the Netherlands is under pressure. Demand is growing due to population growth and economic development, while less and less fresh water is available because of climate change and pollution. The Netherlands needs a national approach to keep the taps running in the future, the Council for the Environment and Infrastructure (RLI) said in a recommendation to the Cabinet on Thursday, NOS reports https://nltimes.nl/2026/04/30/climate-change-pollution-high-demand-put-drinking-water-availability-pressure #ClimateChange #climate

"The fossil fuel cost crisis now has its foot on the throat of the global economy," Stiell said at a meeting on the energy transition hosted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris. "From this tragedy, an immense irony is unfolding. Those who've fought to keep the world hooked on fossil fuels are inadvertently supercharging the global renewables boom," he said, without naming countries or companies https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260430-oil-crisis-fuels-calls-to-speed-up-clean-energy-transition #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #climate

#EU At current trade levels, an EU standard of 0.2% methane intensity could reduce emissions by more than 3 Mt CH₄ annually from its imports alone. Wider adoption by six other major importers could cut global methane emissions by over 10 Mt CH₄, driven in particular by Russia and the United States, which have the largest excess methane emissions relative to a 0.2% intensity standard https://climateanalytics.org/publications/how-import-rules-can-cut-global-methane-emissions #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Participants in his study bet on the outcomes of various climate events that were happening at the time, such as the California wildfires, and the participants were surveyed before and after to gauge how the betting changed their views. It found that people who bet on these markets became more aware & concerned about climate change, and even those who were climate skeptics were possibly converted https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/betting-climate-polymarket-kalshi-prediction-9.7181757 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Health Generally, “rain tends to lower pollen counts by cleansing the air, and many people find that rainy weather tends to reduce asthma symptoms triggered by allergies,” said Harvard Health Publishing. But thunderstorms are an exception because they can cause cold downdrafts, which “concentrate air particles, such as pollen and mold.” https://theweek.com/health/thunderstorm-asthma-climate-change-health-allergies #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
