"Newborn deaths are up because bat numbers are down so farmers use more insecticides. Glacier melt leads to the diffusion of toxic heavy metals. G beats me with a cast-iron skillet as I stand naked against the kitchen wall. The decline of wolf populations means more car accidents because there are more deer. Ten billion snow crabs have disappeared from the Bering Sea. Oceans have never been this hot in recorded history."

Scientists Find Polar Bear Genes Behave Differently According to Climate
This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Changes in polar bear DNA that could help the animals adapt to warmer climates have been detected by researchers, in a study thought to be the first time a statistically significant link has been found between rising temperatures and […]The race for Britain’s EVs is poisoning water supplies – 6,000 miles away https://www.bocvip.com/1125410/the-race-for-britains-evs-is-poisoning-water-supplies-6000-miles-away/ #environment

Extreme #Dürren und steigende Temperaturen führen zu einer neuen #Klimazone, den sogenannten #Hypertropen. Diese Phasen belasten den #Wasserhaushalt der #Bäume so stark, dass ihre #Sterberate deutlich steigt.
Besonders betroffen sind sekundäre Wälder.

In #Basel testet der Kanton erstmals eine komplett emissionsfreie #Baustelle mit elektrischen Baggern und Kippern.
Ziel ist es, #Lärm und CO₂ im Stadtgebiet spürbar zu senken. Begleitet von der Hochschule #Luzern sollen Erkenntnisse zu Effizienz, Kosten und #Stromversorgung gesammelt werden.
Bis 2037 sollen alle Baustellen im Kanton #emissionsfrei betrieben werden.
