Nations that pollute the least are among the most vulnerable to disasters and face the highest barriers to the financing they need to protect themselves, new research shows. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/02/10/economy/climate-country-credit-ratings/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #bahamas #jamaica #philippines #climatechange
Jean-Baptiste Fressoz's book "More and More and More" is a brilliant and sobering history of wood, coal, oil and gas and the reality of carbon emissions and industrial societies.

"We can't afford to build a port for the cook straight ferry, but we can build one for the #NaturalGas no one wants to use" is a wild stance for a govt. that claims to accept the reality of #ClimateChange

Panel about the impact of Climate Change. Food security. Strange conversation as the south of Spain, Portugal and parts of Morocco are flooded. There is no alternative but stop fossil fuels now. The food and water shortages (or floods) are already here.
Climate Disruption will move from chronic to acute.
And tipping points (which are being reached already) mean no turning back to a livable planet.
This is the kind of action we need to be taking around all climate migrants regardless of where they started from. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/feb/09/to-live-a-normal-life-again-its-a-dream-come-true-uks-first-climate-evacuees-can-cast-off-their-homes-and-trauma

Thanks to a dramatic drop in the cost of solar panels and batteries, countries on every continent are installing record amounts of renewables, which overtook coal to become the top source of electricity worldwide in 2025
A record number of EVs were also sold last year, the total jumping 20 per cent over 2024. They now account for one out of every four cars sold worldwide — a level Bloomberg called “unthinkable … just a few years ago.”
Landscape isn’t decoration—it’s climate infrastructure. Every park, campus, public space, or commercial site quietly:
Guides water to prevent floods and water‑logging
Preserves soil health and local geology
Plants species that thrive, not just look good
Supports birds, insects, and broader biodiversity
Works with climate conditions instead of fighting them
Provides psychological calm and physiological comfort

Each data center can “drink” as much as an entire community. Yet #Texas does not require data center operators to disclose projected #water use or report actual consumption. This makes research difficult and limits visibility for water-stressed municipalities. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-ai-data-centers-water-usage-regulation/
