Since many people are canceling their streaming services, I can recommend a new documentary series from NOVA PBS about the origin story of Homo sapiens. It includes several recent discoveries on the different human species, as well as the impact that climate change had on our evolution.
The first episode was aired yesterday and you can watch it for free thanks to public television 💚 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjH71hmrGGQ

California lawmakers voted to ban “forever chemicals” in cookware and other products this week, but not everyone is happy about the move. A group of celebrity chefs—some of whom sell or endorse nonstick pots and pans that use chemicals covered by the ban—want to stop it from taking effect. #ClimateChange

Pavilion of the 2025 World Expo in Osaka in late September, sharing stories from Pacific island nations under threat from rising sea levels caused by climate change. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/16/japan/ai-avatar-at-osaka-expo-climate-change/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan#osakaexpo #ai #undp #climatechange #anime
Climate change is accelerating, scientists find in ‘grim’ report.
They warn that humanity is just three years from overshooting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target, with seas rising faster than ever. But the report also contains a little bit of good news. #ClimateChange

Good news for your Monday:
Solar is winning globally, and globally is what matters:
"Global solar installations rise 64%, to 380 GW, in first half of 2025"
- China installed the most
- India was #2
- US was #3, despite 🍊
Very good that the most populous countries are also installing the most #cleanenergy

Toxic “forever chemicals” are altering human liver function at a fundamental level by triggering both fat accumulation and cancer-linked cell damage, a new study has found.
The scientists stressed the importance of taking individual action to limit PFAS exposure, by making personal choices such as drinking filtered water and avoiding nonstick pans. #ClimateChange

RESTORE WETLANDS
#WetlandRestoration can tackle #WaterPollution and help our #Reef 🪸
#Wetlands are very effective at reducing water pollution. #Research shows that restoring wetlands in 5% of land can slash nitrogen pollution by up to half.
Coastal wetlands have unique superpowers to help tackle the biggest threats to the #GreatBarrierReef like #ClimateChange and water pollution.
