NEW: Despite a legal requirement to do so, Vermont never audited a water project that’s cost nearly a billion. “I find it amazing that they haven’t done the audit and that somebody in the legislature did not hold them to account,” said a former lawmaker. https://www.propublica.org/article/vermont-clean-water-act-champlain-audit?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#News #Vermont #Environment #Water #Lake #Pollution #Law

Vermont Was Supposed to Get an Audit of Its Lake Champlain Cleanup. It Never Happened.

Halfway through a 20-year push to get Vermont’s waterways in line with tougher EPA standards, some lawmakers worry the project’s strategies aren’t as cost-effective as they could be — especially as a state-mandated audit was never done.

Global biodiversity summit ends with shortfall of funding for Africa, despite 30x30 push

African countries left the United Nations biodiversity conference in Yerevan, Armenia, with an unresolved funding gap for conservation. International funding for protected and conserved areas in Africa fell significantly even as countries are working toward a global agreement to protect 30% of the world’s land and oceans by 2030, known as the 30×30 goal. During […]

Reservoir, human activity impact Ravi River's surface water availability by fivefold

What does a healthy river look like? For most of us, an obvious answer would involve two aspects: water flowing through a channel and green vegetation along its banks. However, in reality, a river's health depends on several factors, such as how much water flows through it, how water moves through the landscape, how that flow changes with the seasons, how sediment moves downstream, how often it spills into its floodplain and how these processes change with the seasons.

UN reports warn of large-scale damage to Earth's ice from climate change

Exceeding 1.5C of global warming will have "irreversible" consequences for glaciers, sea ice and the Earth's frozen regions, two U.N. reports warned on Monday, calling for urgent action.

Extreme heat no longer confined to summer, extending health risks, study finds

There was a time when, across large swathes of the world, the seasons fed into each other in a relatively predictable cycle of warmer and colder weather. In temperate nations, frigid winter thawed into spring. Spring bloomed into summer, where extreme heat beat down until cooler weather provided autumn’s relief. No longer. A recent study […]

stronger warming from higher radiative disequilibrium & weakening carbon sinks, driven by saturated land carbon uptake and the reduced radiative impact of CO2 drawdown at higher background CO2 concentrations. Higher peak warming therefore commits the planet to additional warming, limiting temperature-overshoot reversibility https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-026-02776-w https://archive.ph/wip/uMgo3 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Zero emissions commitment depends on warming level - Nature Climate Change

The global temperature change that happens after emissions cease is expected to be close to zero. Here the authors use model simulations to show that this zero emissions commitment depends on the warming level at which emissions cease and might be positive for higher warming.
