Global emissions are projected to decrease this year, and the Trump administration played a major — if unintentional — role, according to new research A study released Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change projects a 0.4% decrease in global climate-warming emissions for 2026, largely due to the Iran war and its effects on energy markets https://archive.ph/81Hew#selection-1551.0-1561.133 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#food #Europe Its paper called “Europe’s dairy comfort zone is moving” estimates that annual heat-related milk losses across Europe could rise from around 4.5 million metric tonnes in today’s climate to around 12.5 million metric tonnes by 2050 under a global warming scenario https://www.dairyreporter.com/Article/2026/11/09/climate-change-poses-growing-threat-to-competitiveness-of-europes-dairy-sector/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#COP31 “The world is not running out of climate warnings. It is running out of excuses. After more than 30 years of climate negotiations, governments can no longer hide behind promises of future action or avoid confronting their fossil fuel industry allies. The climate crisis is not a failure of knowledge, but a failure of political courage https://www.amnestyusa.org/press-releases/cop31-world-leaders-must-break-fossil-fuels-grip-on-climate-policy-and-peoples-futures/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

They found a two-sided pattern: Weak runoff events become weaker, while the strongest ones, which are most likely to cause flooding, become even stronger. Moreover, urban development can amplify this phenomenon, leaving densely populated cities particularly vulnerable https://phys.org/news/2026-11-intense-storms-climate-extreme-urban.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Less rain, more intense storms: Climate change strengthens extreme urban floods

A new study reveals a troubling consequence of climate change: Even as rainfall decreases, cities could face increasingly severe flooding. The study was led by Ph.D. student Raz Nussbaum and co-authored by Dr. Moshe Armon and supervised by professor Efrat Morin from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

5 ways countries stymie climate negotiations without actually saying ‘no’

  1. Say we can’t afford it

  2. Promise to fix it later

  3. Water down the promise

  4. Make promises, then fail to deliver

  5. Make decisions without everyone at the table

5 ways countries stymie climate negotiations without actually saying ‘no’

The methods can be subtle but effective at slowing progress, particularly when fossil fuels are involved. Here’s what to watch for as the latest global climate talks get underway.

warming is not occurring evenly around the world. The study found that global land temperatures have already risen an average of 1.9 C above pre-industrial levels, while northwestern North America has experienced warming of approximately 3 C. “What is less well understood is that 1.5 C of global warming does not translate to the same amount of warming everywhere,” https://cheknews.ca/uvic-study-finds-world-already-experiencing-warming-equivalent-to-1-5-c-climate-threshold-1360121/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

It’s noteworthy that value—not values—is driving much of this change. While advocates have argued for decades that shifting to sustainable, renewable, noncarbon energy is simply the right thing to do, people everywhere are finding that moving away from fossil fuels is the right move for their bottom lines https://time.com/article/2026/11/09/time100-climate-how-we-chose/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

A pumped hydro facility stores excess energy by using it to pump water from a low-elevation reservoir to a higher one. Semel: “That difference in height allows us to use the power of gravity to do the work for us.” When energy is needed, the water is released. It rushes down, spins a turbine, and generates electricity https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/11/could-skyscrapers-be-used-as-giant-batteries/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

20–40-year sliding windows, reflecting a generational offset that generational amnesia is sufficient to explain the offsets in perception of environmental change. We argue that historical archives carry a generational imprint of perceptual bias, in which the severity of climate extremes is judged against recent lived experience rather than long-term climate variability https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-78922-x #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #pollution #environment #climate

Archival and palaeoenvironmental documentation of extreme climate events reveals generational amnesia in collective memory - Nature Communications

Collective memory shapes how societies respond to climate extremes, but its long-term biases are hard to observe. Here, the authors show that historical severity assessments of droughts and floods in northern China over 430 years are biased toward recent experience, consistent with an agent-based model of generational amnesia.

According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), insurers initiated just over two million homeowner policy non-renewals in the US in 2024, a 61% increase from the year before. Non-renewal rates rose in every NAIC region between 2018 and 2024, by between 96% and 216%, with the Southeast recording the sharpest increase https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/au/news/catastrophe/record-heat-in-2026-puts-the-insurance-industry-on-notice-596630.aspx #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
