#France Even if it needs repeating, again and again: the answer isn’t in the soil. It lies in how we organise our economy. The real issue is climate change. If we don’t stop it, anything else we do alongside it will be pointless https://www.futura-sciences.com/en/if-we-dont-act-now-on-climate-change-nothing-else-will-matter_38730/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Arctic Sea Ice appeared to be entering a new phase. In the early 2020s, the rapid decline seen over previous decades seemed to ease, leading scientists to ask whether winter sea ice loss had slowed. Our new study suggests that conclusion was premature. After two exceptionally low-ice winters in 2025 and 2026, the recent slowdown disappears. The almost 6% drop between 2024 and 2025 was the largest single-year decline on record. The latest observations restore a statistically significant downward trend, showing how a few unusual years can quickly change the overall picture. https://theconversation.com/arctic-sea-ice-decline-seemed-to-be-slowing-until-two-record-breaking-low-ice-winters-287637?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #ClimateChange #Environment #SeaIce
