Native American farmers in the southwestern U.S. have long deployed weather-adaptive techniques to grow crops in high-desert environments.

The techniques range from hillside terracing and “waffle” gardening, to water conservation and leveraging microclimates on a piece of land.

This month, Mongabay spoke with the leaders of these groups about how these farming techniques can be replicated in increasingly dry regions around the world.

“In 2020, nearly all new trucks in China ran on diesel.

By the first half of 2025, battery-powered trucks accounted for 22% of new heavy truck sales”

Trump’s anti-green agenda could lead to 1.3 million more temperature-related deaths.

Most of the people expected to suffer live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

The #Trump admin proposed Monday to significantly limit the EPA’s authority to limit #pollution in #wetlands, #rivers & other bodies of #water across the country.

The proposed rule could strip federal #protections from millions of acres of wetlands & #streams, potentially threatening sources of clean #DrinkingWater for millions of Americans.

The generous conclusion is that our politicians understand how the #EV incentives used to work, but they believe #climatechange is a hoax. And before they say, "We're too small to matter", remember that any group of 5 million people anywhere on Earth could, erroneously, make the same claim. #nzpol #climate

The potential collapse of the AMOC is shifting from theory to real climate risk. Iceland now treats it as a national security threat. For data and climate analytics, it’s a call to improve forecasting, scenario modeling, and risk intelligence. Climate is the ultimate data challenge.

The new definition would exclude #wetlands that abut or touch many intermittent #streams, which do not flow during dry periods. It also could exclude ephemeral streams, which sit dry for much of the year & fill up only after rainfall or snowmelt.

These changes could strip federal #protections from up to 55 million acres of wetlands, or about 85% of wetlands nationwide, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group.

It was a victory for a range of business interests that have lobbied to scale back the #CleanWaterAct of 1972, including farmers, home builders, real estate developers, #oil drillers & #petrochemical manufacturers.

…Under the #CleanWater Act, companies & individuals must obtain a permit from the #EPA before releasing #pollutants into the nation’s #waterways. They must receive a permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers.…

If we’re not being generous, we might conclude that our politicians know that #climatechange is real, but they are so incompetent that they can’t develop effective policy to address the issue. #nzpol #climate

"4B is about autonomy. It stems from the realisation, among young #feminists, that relationships with #men influence women's ability to truly be themselves. This led to a radical question: what would a #world without men look like?"

In "A New Faith", the city of Sequoia which was created, specifically, for #climate #refugees the women to men ration is 2:1

As I prepare to write the script for this #solarpunk film, I gather my thoughts to clarify the ideas I want to put out clearly, and so this blog post hints at life in this future without a centralized government, no police or military, and no capitalism.

I need your support to make it! Please share, or donate if you can!
