For every degree C that Earth’s atmospheric temperature rises, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere can increase by about 7%.

A warmer world is a one with heavier precipitation events, even in places where average rainfall may remain unchanged. carbonbrief.org/explainer-what…

Every tiny-scale coral ‘restoration’ project on the Great Barrier Reef has been destroyed or severely damaged this summer due to anthropogenic heating.

Qantas is pulling your leg, so they can keep polluting while pretending to care about environmental damage.

In my new The BMJ piece, I argue that economic activity must serve the health of the planet & population—and not the other way around. This builds on my work as chair of the World Health Organization (WHO) WHO Council on the Economics of Health For All Council.

The white corals are bleached. Some colonies are partially dead.

The pink table coral on the right has manufactured colourful pigments in a desperate attempt to stay alive.

The green corals are already dead, their skeletons colonised by algae.

SEVERE BLEACHING = MASS MORTALITY

Brazil is facing cascading impacts to its health system due to a strong El Niño.
