Climate’s Ledger
Taxing investments of the wealthy could fund climate action and promote climate justice.
Dormant Disease
In the icy gloom where old gods sleep, microbes lie in wait with jealous, frozen rage – aching to be freed by the warmth of
Empty Echoes of Rain
Flash droughts, quick and severe droughts posing challenges to sectors like agriculture, are predicted to increase with global warming, especially in North America and Europe.
Gardeners of the Forest
If elephants, which are already critically endangered, become extinct, the Central and West African rain forest – the second largest on Earth – would lose 6-9% of its ability to capture atmospheric carbon, exacerbating planetary warming.
Sunburnt Algae
Climate change threatens endangered marimo algae balls with extinction through deadly sunburn.
Deep-sea Soot
Up to one a half million tonnes of carbon, soot, and other particles from combustion end up in deep-sea trenches every year.
A Lethal Climate
For the first time, hotter days brought about by climate change have been linked to an increased risk of shootings in the United States.
Draining the Water Tower
Climate change will likely lead to irreversible declines in freshwater storage in the Tibetan Plateau by the middle of this century, impacting the supply freshwater for nearly two billion people.
Rising Injustice
Global Warming is likely to lead to a huge increase in heat-induced labour loss, which will mainly impact those who work outdoors and for low wages. A tragic example of environmental injustice.
