If the green divide deepens in #Europe, this could slow down the existential race we’re in. That risks delaying not so much the decarbonisation agenda, but rather the wider sustainability agenda, focused on biodiversity, agriculture and nature conservation.

It is here that a political backlash, coupled with the absence of a profit-driven corporate interest, risks derailing Europe’s role in saving people and planet alike

Rain Comes to the Arctic, With a Cascade of Troubling Changes

Rain used to be rare in the Arctic, but as the region warms, so-called rain-on-snow events are becoming more common. The rains accelerate ice loss, trigger flooding, landslides, and avalanches, and create problems for wildlife and the Indigenous people who depend on them

Nearly all imported cut flowers go through the same emissions-intensive journey — climate-controlled greenhouses, refrigerated trucks and a long, chilled flight. Fresh flowers are a $34 billion global industry with a massive carbon footprint
