As the Arctic warms and tundra thaws, minerals once trapped in permafrost are leaching out, turning rivers orange and acidic — some as acidic as vinegar. Experts are racing to understand the ramifications for fish, wildlife, and Indigenous people.

Was good to write a positive story, though there is plenty we don’t know about these guys and there are challenges ahead to make sure they remain not extinct. But here’s to positive news. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

illustratief filmpje van een nestelende Tjiftjaf. Net als veel andere vogels heeft die het nest op de grond of vlak daarboven. Alle reden om honden en katten aan de lijn te houden. Wij zien zo'n nest niet maar hond ruikt het direct en slobbert het zo leeg. www.facebook.com/reel/1335198...

Waarom is de Koning naar Miami afgereisd om "zich daar te laten bijpraten over waterbeheer"? Moeten we wat leren van het mismanagement aldaar?

Tja, je moet toch wat te schieten hebben als jager? Bij Reeën heeft jacht geen enkel effect op het aantal wildaanrijdingen. Dat is bij Wilde zijnen echt niet anders. Bovendien: op de Veluwe zijn Wilde zwijnen de belangrijkst prooi voor Wolven, daarna de Reeën. www.gld.nl/nieuws/74181...

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration. ​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro.

Er wordt in Den Haag langer en intensiever vergaderd over het criminaliseren van een handjevol ongedocumenteerden dan over de grootvervuilers die ons, op onze eigen kosten, ziek maken. Onbegrijpelijk dat we dat kennelijk normaal zijn gaan vinden. Waarom accepteren we dit?

Anyone who know if it is possible to download the exact image of OpenStreetMap in QGIS? I see a proper map in QGIS, but if I write it to an image the place names are tiny and way too small.

My story on the 57 forest service research stations that are going to be closed is up now

A river does not force its way to the sea. It does not worry about the rocks in its path. It does not stop flowing because the terrain gets difficult. It simply moves. It finds the path of least resistance, and follows it. Not because it is lazy. But because it trusts the landscape to guide it.

Kabul is rapidly running out of water. Experts say climate change has played its part,  but so has massive population growth and resource mismanagement.

#Zout | Door stroomstoring Stevinsluis (mrt ‘26) stroomde zoutwater uit wadden naar IJsselmeer. Omdat dat weg te spoelen laat Rijkswaterstaat minder water door bij Stuw Driel, waardoor meer Rijnwater via IJssel naar IJsselmeer gaat 💧Nieuws: tinyurl.com/yck7br29 💧Uitleg: tinyurl.com/2ku8w4mh

Leger Israël schiet op Palestijnse schoolkinderen die door kolonistengeweld niet naar school konden

I found the entire 2025 political debate in the UK just baffling. If you went to Copenhagen, Riga, Berlin, everybody was talking about the dramatic international situation. London? Immigration (again), cost of living, rise of Reform. And opposition leaders did not exactly change the conversation./5

The Strategic Defence Review warns that Britain is,for the first time in decades, at risk of full inter-state war, and it calls for a “whole-of-society“ approach to defence. There is a lot on resilience, hybrid warfare, etc. It explains just how depended the UK is on its neighbourhood (gas &food)./3

De 🇺🇸 hittegolf in maart was zo krankzinnig extreem, dat tien weerstations een temperatuur hebben geregistreerd die zelfs in mei (!!!) nooit zijn gehaald!! 🫪😵‍💫😰 En nog veel meer feiten. Wat een 🧵!!!

Dit doet droogte door klimaatverandering, snelle waterafvoer tbv landbouw en teveel onttrekking van grondwater. Waterbeheer en grondwaterstand: belangrijk voor de fundering van je huis. Hou dat in gedachten bij de verkiezingen voor Waterschappen volgend jaar. nos.nl/artikel/2610...

Wanna know who the real “environmental terrorists” are? 👀 Billionaires hoarding wealth, trashing the planet and destroying nature. A person in the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a single day than someone in the bottom 50% produces in an entire year (Oxfam International).

As billionaires grow richer, the climate crisis gets worse. If, instead of hoarding wealth, trashing the planet and destroying nature, the super-rich paid their fair share in taxes, there’d be enough money for a green and fair world for all. It’s time to tax the super-rich act.gp/4sOwu1J

Whoahh!! Massive rockfall in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, India. A huge section of rock beside the Bagheigadh–Changju road gave way in seconds, blocking the route with debris. Locals spotted smaller falls earlier and stopped traffic just in time, preventing a major tragedy.

So Trump's grand plan now that he screwed up any chances of a ceasefire are to...<checks Notes> blockade the already blockaded straight... By the Gods he is the stupidest person to ever live... #PedoGate #PedoWar

"There is a 100% chance of a tsunami of at least 1 metre in height occurring in the Mediterranean in the next 30-50 years", according to UNESCO. That is a bold statement, but where is the scientific backing? A 1-m high tsunami in the Mediterranean would affect only a small portion of the coastline.

In Budapest, locals tore down Orban’s anti-Ukrainian posters and celebrated Magyar’s election victory in various ways. A Hungarian soldier shouted to the crowd from the stage that the government's attitude toward Ukraine had been absurd and had only weakened Hungary's position.

Snowpack snow water equivalent (amount of water in the snowpack) as of April 6 was well above normal in the middle/upper Yukon River drainage in ERA5 reanalysis courtesy @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social. With continuing cool temps, it's likely to be a consequential break-up for some communities. #akwx

The U.S. just killed five more people in its latest boat strikes. The death toll of these extrajudicial killings is almost 170 civilians. And more deaths are on the horizon. Pentagon Reveals Attacks in Latin America Are Just the Beginning theintercept.com/2026/03/23/t...

Can someone explain this?

Today at Dam Square in Amsterdam, thousands of children’s shoes were placed in front of the Royal Palace to honour the ~20,000 children killed in Gaza. Each name was read aloud, remembering every young life lost. Picture: @kadirvanlohuizen.bsky.social / Noor images

Only 70 days until solstice.

The Tagliamento, Friuli–Venezia Giulia, Italy, is a braided river that flows from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea. It is regarded as the last morphologically intact river in the Alpine region, retaining its natural hydromorphological dynamics and sediment transport.

I think they were expecting the usual flood and instead got this.... 📍 Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, yesterday

I'm surprised (but am I?) about how little discussion there seems to be in the weekend papers that a deranged US president can now openly threaten genocide. That this seems to have been framed as "oh, it's just Trump - next story!" is deeply disturbing and shows a lack of moral seriousness.

How much water lies beneath our feet? After years of research, scientists have an answer, and a new, detailed national map of groundwater. I spoke with @reedh2o.bsky.social of @princeton.edu and Laura Condon of @uarizona.bsky.social about their fascinating research: www.latimes.com/environment/...

Wat een armetierig, schraal, tot op de naad versleten landje zijn we toch geworden. Alles voor de Bassies die het al goed hebben. En de rest bekijkt het maar. Kinderen in kerkasiel? Kunnen we niks voor doen. Long COVID patiënten? Pannen en lepels. Mensen in de shit: sop het op. Intens verdrietig.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.
