What if climate adaptation isn't happening in government plans, but in everyday decisions? From farmers adjusting practices to businesses redesigning operations, people are quietly adapting to a changing climate long before official policies catch up. theconversation.com/climate-rela...

Climate-related ‘silent adaptation’ coping strategies are going beyond official directives

At local level, many grassroots initiatives are cropping up to tackle unforeseen climate-related events, but improvising and instinctive ways of working are often overlooked in public policy.

🔓️ Most sustainable finance taxonomies are not yet designed to fully support the transition to #NetZero, find Catherine Marchewitz et al. @diw.de, as green economic activities are prioritised while transitional activities are largely omitted ⤵️

Sustainable finance taxonomies – Designed to support the transition to a net-zero economy?

A growing number of sustainable finance taxonomies aim to redirect capital towards climate change mitigation. Yet achieving net zero requires not only financing green economic activities but also t...

Butterflies around the world are changing habitats - and experts say it’s ‘signalling a warning’

Butterflies around the world are changing habitats - and experts say it’s ‘signalling a warning’

New research shows early-warning species is on the move, expanding or contracting geographic range and changing altitude * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Butterflies, often considered a “sentinel of change”, are on the move across every continent they inhabit, shifting to survive as global heating reshapes their environment. About one in 10 species have already expanded or contracted their geographic range, or shifted in altitude, according to a global study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution. Continue reading...

"This map shows a critical situation... It’s hard to avoid speaking of an ecological breakdown or point of no return for some of France's aquatic environments…When a riverbed dries up completely, almost all aquatic biodiversity—flora & fauna—disappears, with consequences for the entire food chain."

Cette carte est gravissime. Mais elle n'a pas fait la une de l'actualité. Pour moi, l'été 2026 marque un tournant. Après celui de 2022, il devient difficile de ne plus parler de "rupture écologique" ou de "point de non retour" pour une partie des milieux aquatiques français. 1/18

Guess what this critter I found in the garden yesterday is! I will answer in the comments tomorrow.

Some recent photos in the garden. The Common Wood-Nymph Butterfly (Cercyonis pegala) was in the wooded area (hence the ferns), and the Widow Skimmer Drangonflies (Libellula luctuosa) were in the meadow.

Update, The American Lotus seed I sandpapered 1st, sprouted 1st. That one and the lotus already in the cylinder glass vessel were planted in my large pot outside with more direct & longer sunlight. The species has low genetic diversity, each are different sources and so hopefully also gene pools.

Growing more American Lotus so I can transplant the two I grew indoors into the big pot outside (3 in that pot did not take, water changes were needed) The new sprouts will take their place indoors. This time I am experimenting with two different approaches to see which, if at all, perform better.

Been a bit. Since my last post I have managed to photograph a bunch of the little flying beasties while at rest and a golden crab spider. (See Alt text for species ID) 🧵1/2

9am, July 16th, 12026 H.E. Manitoulin iland The morning is pale grey, the appearance of fog. The sun, a red disc hanging above through the haze. When the door was opened the scent of smoke spilled in, but this time not near as strong and more akin to sitting beside a very smokey campfire.

10 am, July 15th, 12026 H.E. The wildfire smoke is so thick the day appears dusk, we turn on lights to see. Outside is a haze of orange as though looking through fogged tinted glass, cameras poorly capture the color. As the day goes on the smoke thickens like a dense fog, the orange color deepens.

Funding to address Climate Change was never "too expensive"

We need a broader understanding of foreign interference. If a platform millions of people use is paying people to post disinformation, then the platform and its owners are culpable. Not the “bad actors” they knowingly incentivize. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Just did a survey from the Liberal Party of Canada and used all the text available to share my piece on what I would like to see from the party and Prime Minister Mark Carney 🧵1/11 "Publish an actionable plan that transitions Canada away from Oil Dependency, especially on foreign owned companies.."

I am seeing a lot of butterflies on the property, but are really hard to snap photos of! Of those I could not catch of photo of were Eastern Tiger Swallowtail and Monarch. These three little flutterbugs (a term I use for both moths and butterflies) were who I could photograph. Names in Alt Text,

I have been planning my native climate adapted food forest for about two years, and yesterday, with the garden finally enclosed from deer, I planted the remaining trees and shrubs I preordered early last winter - two of which are endangered species, Butternut and Red Mulberry. It is kind of surreal.

Just finished making this ornate bushcraft deer fence gate. The posts are discarded cleared trees from my yard and/or neighbor's (saved for years for such projects). Woven sisal rope, cedar branches, and stone counter-weight that keeps the top branch raised.

Pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus), Turtle Island's (North America's) largest woodpecker, visited our yard today. I line my paths / bordered my garden beds in my rewilded / young climated adapted native food forest with old logs that have had many woodpecker visits over the years. #Rewild

Beavers are nature’s chaotic engineers! By building dams and creating wetlands, they help filter pollution, create wildlife habitats, and protect against wildfires. Ecohydrologist Emily Fairfax studies how beavers reshape ecosystems. Plus, she was a science consultant on Pixar’s “Hoppers”.

Laws only matter to the Republican Regime if they are leverage, otherwise are completely disregarded. If there is a time for mass civil disobedience its now. Anything they try to shut down, ignore their demands. Virginia, ignore them, listen to the people and Redistrict anyway.
