Swarms of tiny robots remove microplastics from soil and water
Microplastics, which are plastic particles under 5 millimeters, are a major and growing threat in both soil and water. They damage soil fertility, disrupt nutrient cycling, harm aquatic and terrestrial life, and can move through the food chain. That makes cleaning them up an urgent priority.

Fifty-six million years ago, Earth’s forests reached a tipping point. They had grown dense, lush canopies at the start of one of Earth’s most intense episodes of greenhouse warming. But those canopies began to thin.

Depends on the cause and the severity of their decline.
From that article:
Our study shows that carbon dioxide emissions have pushed forests beyond their physiological limits before, triggering changes that ripple from vegetation to rivers and across entire landscapes. It also shows that forests are remarkably resilient when given time to recover, but what counts as time is far longer than a human lifespan – it requires thousands of generations.
Today, human-caused carbon emissions and warming are unfolding vastly faster than during the PETM. The fossil record reminds us that forests can recover, but only if humanity avoids pushing them beyond thresholds from which recovery takes tens of thousands of years.

Yeah. I was once asked how long it would take trees [;anted to solve the salinity problems. My answer was well, the forests we cleared had been there for thousands of years and individual trees were at least a thousand years old. So that’s how long it will take.

Lampreys are nicknamed vampire fish because they have sharp teeth and feed on the blood of other fish, but these are non-parasitic.

Nature invented biodegradable plastic long before humans did—and animals may have been feeding on it for hundreds of millions of years. Researchers discovered that dozens of animal species possess enzymes capable of breaking down microbial bioplastics called PHAs, a talent once thought to belong only to microorganisms.

Hidden Structures in Clouds May Solve a Longstanding Mystery About Rainfall
It’s well known that where there’s smoke there’s fire, but did you know that where there’s rain there’s ice?
Or so the conventional thinking goes, as atmospheric ice crystals allow raindrops to grow large and heavy enough to fall from cold clouds.

In many years of flying I don’t recall encountering any ice in smaller cloud, but certainly some in thunderstorms. The problem with aircraft radar is that it detect rain but not ice. The problem with that is in a pitch-black night when you’re in cloud and there’s nothing to see outside, if the radar picks up a thunderstorm (which is very easy to do) you have to do two things –
- If your path is anywhere near it, you should always fly upwind of it as they can spit out hail downwind for kilometres. Hail can destroy many parts of the aircraft very quickly.
- If you just leave the radar sitting as it is, usually with a few degrees pitched down, quite often the thunderstorm will slowly disappear. That’s just the radar beam being focused above the rain as the plan gets closer and the danger is that it’s not picking up the hail/ice in the tops of the cloud and you fly right through it. Then bad things can happen.
So you have to change the pitch down angle of the radar head to get a picture of how tall the cloud is likely to be. Then quite often just change course to go around it upwind anyway.

FWIW that’s only a small thunderstorm. The biggest one I’ve ever seen was coming back from Townsville to Brisbane in a Citation jet at 39,000’. I estimated that we were no more than about 2/3’s the way up it.
But strangely the thunderstorms in PNG were a bit of a toothless tiger. Sure, lots of rain but not very strong turbulence and little if any real ice. On some of the medivacs I did, for expediency when getting to the destination airport to pick up the patient, I’d flying through the edges of the storms (they were huge in width on the radar) and never had a problem. Just turned the ignition on in the engines to make sure they didn’t flame out.

Sydney is currently forecast to reach 24–27°C between Tuesday and Thursday next week, which are the first three days of spring. This is around 4–7°C above average for this time of year. The last time Sydney reached at least 24°C on the first three days of spring was in 1969. If the city’s temperature manages to climb above 24.8°C between Tuesday and Thursday next week, which is possible, it will be the city’s warmest start to spring in 161 years. Other areas in eastern and southeastern Australia will also get a taste of the early-season warmth next week. Maximum temperatures in Melbourne and Adelaide are forecast to reach around 21–22°C next Tuesday, while Hobart should reach about 19°C. These temperatures are about 3–4°C above average for a September day.

Ian Wright is a former Sydney Water scientist who spent 18 years with the company, and is now an associate professor and water science researcher at Western Sydney University. He said treating raw effluent reliably was difficult, and expressed concern with the proposal. “To put treated water, treated from sewage, into the Parramatta River is actually unbelievable to me,” Professor Wright said.
Local resident Andrew Yeung shared his concerns, given the area’s high recreational use. “We’ve got swimming areas, three downstream, and a junior sailing club, as well as three boat ramps,” he said. “We’re very concerned about potential for a combination of factors heading over a tipping point and creating an environmental disaster.

Just because you want details of what is proposed. Or have questions about how quality control will be maintained does not mean Australians want coal burning fascists to continue.
It just means folks have questions about what is involved.
How will quality be maintained?
What are the potential downsides?

Questions don’t mean that folks are automatically rejecting a proposal. It means they are asking questions.

Having lived without a kitchen, a laundry in a caravan for almost a year (losing 90% my stuff) for almost a year due to extreme weather events. I am pretty keen to see the coal burning fascists lose.
But I don’t have to not ask questions or query for things to improve. I thought the opposite would be true.
on the face of it perhaps, however the features that challenge this allegedly innocent reading of the article are
one, the media publishing it in a “balanced” way, not actually answering the questions but putting claims and uncertainties on equal footing
two, the prevalence of for example anti vaccination great defenders of freedom, “just asking questions”
outside the article sure, your kilometric may vary, hoarses four coarses, this advice contains general information provided as a guide only and readers should consider their own individual circumstances
Anti vaxxers have access to the science if they choose to read and explore.
And anti vaxxers aren’t asking questions in good faith.
agreed so how do we tell the difference

I don’t think there’s a lot of anti vaxxers involved in discussing alternative sources of energy.
However, just under half billion dollars is spent on Climate Change Denial each year. How we sort out folks funded by those income streams I have no idea.
I suppose this is a weather thread.

🐦 The critically endangered Mindoro bleeding-heart pigeon just appeared on a camera trap in the Philippines, the first confirmed photo in about two decades. The bird lives only on the island of Mindoro and gets its name from a reddish-orange patch on its pale chest that looks like an open wound.
The photo was taken in August at more than 900 meters elevation, well above where the species has historically been found. The find came out of an Indigenous-led conservation effort in the Iraya Mangyan ancestral domain, working with the Center for Conservation Innovations Philippines.
One photograph can’t tell us how many birds are left, and the unusual elevation raises its own question: has the loss of lowland forest pushed the surviving population higher up the mountain? But after twenty years of silence, this bird is still out there.

Rivers may be carrying more microplastics into the world’s oceans than previously thought
Microplastics are a modern environmental menace and a potential threat to human health. These tiny pieces of plastic, measuring from 1 to 5,000 micrometers, come mainly from larger plastics as well as sources such as paints and cosmetics. They are found in almost every corner of the planet, and a new study published in Science suggests rivers may be carrying far more of them into the ocean than previously thought.

Simple Summary
Public debate in Australia often focuses on pet cats as a major threat to wildlife. While cats can affect wildlife in some situations, this study looked at what brings threatened animals into wildlife care in New South Wales. We analyzed 11 years of records from the NSW Wildlife Rehabilitation Data Dashboard, covering 52,475 rescued animals from 158 threatened species. This is the first statewide study to look specifically at threatened species in these rescue records. Importantly, these records only include animals that were found, reported, and brought into care, mostly in places where people live, work, travel, or visit. They do not show all wildlife deaths or the total impact of any threat beyond the rehabilitation dataset. Outcomes for rescued threatened animals were often poor: 24.1% were released alive, 58.5% died, and 17.5% had another recorded outcome. The most common recorded reason for rescue was Unknown, followed by Entanglement, Weather Event, Abandoned or Orphaned young, Unsuitable Environment, and Motor-Vehicle Collisions. Together, these accounted for 68% of threatened species rescues. Animal attacks made up 4.4% of recorded rescues. Dog attacks were more than three times as common as cat attacks, while cat attacks accounted for 0.6% of threatened species rescues. These findings show that preventing common recorded rescue causes, such as entanglement, heat stress, unsafe environments, and road injuries, could help reduce the number of threatened animals needing care.

No, the Australian Alps do not receive more snow than the European Alps; that claim is a long-standing weather myth.
The Facts
• The Myth: A popular piece of Australian folklore claims that the Snowy Mountains get more annual snowfall or have a larger snow-covered area than Switzerland or the Swiss Alps.
• The Reality: The Swiss Alps cover a much larger geographical area (roughly double the size of the entire Australian Alps bioregion) and hold vastly greater volumes of snow, depth, and permanent glacial ice.
• Scale: Australia’s snow-covered terrain is scattered and restricted to high-altitude pockets in New South Wales and Victoria, whereas the European Alps feature massive, continuous alpine ranges

No, the Australian Alps do not receive more snow than the European Alps; that claim is a long-standing weather myth.
The Facts
• The Myth: A popular piece of Australian folklore claims that the Snowy Mountains get more annual snowfall or have a larger snow-covered area than Switzerland or the Swiss Alps.
• The Reality: The Swiss Alps cover a much larger geographical area (roughly double the size of the entire Australian Alps bioregion) and hold vastly greater volumes of snow, depth, and permanent glacial ice.
• Scale: Australia’s snow-covered terrain is scattered and restricted to high-altitude pockets in New South Wales and Victoria, whereas the European Alps feature massive, continuous alpine ranges…

Even been known to fall in the higher parts of Toowoomba.

Yeah, I knew about Stanthorpe etc (it’s their height, right), but I was amazed about the Gold Coast.
Of course Tasmania gets snow. It’s even snowed in this village several times since I’ve lived here.
In South Mole Creek the snow was occasionally heavy enough to build actual snowmen, albeit rather small ones.
https://www.weatherarmidale.com/Qldsnow5.pdf
Interestingly there are records of snow in Brisbane and near Mackay. But I can’t find anything about the Gold Coast. Maybe Steve was thinking Springbrook. The Big Snow of 1984 was amazing in Armidale.
The Mount Lofty Ranges in SA gets a dusting of snow.
How about NT just to demonstrate how thoroughly unreliable is Witty?

I dunno.
You know what councils are like – if there’s a cheap way and an expensive way…
From Quora:
Is it true that according to NASA humankind’s emission of CO2 is trivial at about 2% compared to naturally occurring CO2 emission at 98%, and that nature doesn’t distinguish between human or natural emissions?
Yes, both things are true, but they don’t matter.
Imagine you have a credit card. Every month you spend say, 1000 dollars on it, and pay off 1000 dollars on it.
Now we’ll increase your spending by 20 dollars- just 2%, but not increase your payments.
In a year, you’ll have a balance of about 200 dollars (120+ interest) on the card
In two years, that’ll be about 500 dollars
In five years, it’ll be several thousand dollars.
Now at what point does the credit card debt become a problem? You were only spending 2% too much, until compound interest ( positive feedback loops) bit you in the arse.
Of course, cutting your spending and dealing with the debt sooner rather than later is much less painful in the long run.

Collective human metabolism produces 2 billion metric tons of CO₂ a year, global study estimates
A University of Bath–led study has estimated that the carbon dioxide produced by humans as our bodies turn food into energy rose by 74% between 1985 and 2015, reaching 2.05 billion metric tons a year. Researchers say the findings could help scientists better understand where carbon comes from, where it goes and how human activity fits into the bigger picture.

Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen has used a COP31 Opening Plenary Speech to call on nations to take faster action on climate change. Bowen is president of negotiations at this year’s climate summit. It was a role he was given after Australia ceded hosting rights to Türkiye. In the speech, Bowen said nations must move faster and scale up the use of technology. He’s called for more progress on electrification. “Whether it be glacial collapse in Nepal, heat deaths in Europe or an intensifying El Niño, climate change is here,” Bowen said.

no apparently this one is a non government politician
When asked about the Coalition’s argument that the government needs to cut back on climate change mitigation measures to rein in spending and lower inflation, Boele says she’s not buying that argument. She says fossil fuels have been a “major part” of the “savage cost of living crisis, made even worse by the war in Iran”. “So I would say to the Coalition: when you’ve got a problem created by fossil fuels about dependency on international markets, we need to double down on our energy sovereignty,” she says. “And one of the best ways to do that is to electrify our economy, to make sure that we have homegrown, Aussie, clean energy here with solar and wind.”

First things first. I appreciate you collecting interesting videos, but the Ozgeology channel is garbage.
He just makes up stuff with no actual evidence, and then invents a story about geology. I tried to call him out on his obvious bullshit, and he blocked me instead of discussing facts.

Report on ABC radio this morning spoke of pulling warming up at about + 2.5 C sometime in the 2030s.
Is that doable using current strategies?
oh it really is the same governments that insist on burning more coal and exporting more gas, damn we are so surprised

well bullshit
Analysts estimate that if the 35 per cent target was reached using only clean energy, it could cut the projected level of global warming of at least 2.6C above pre-industrial levels, based on present government policies, by 0.3C. Supporters say it is an ambitious target, requiring the world to electrify at four times the current pace. But sceptics say that if the shift to more electricity was partly based on fossil fuels, it will only lock in the prolonged use of fossil fuels.

Could be risk analysis have been conducted and its considered by the owners of said fossil fuels that it’s acceptable

well it’s just stupid is what it is
what if they just assumed that data centre magic is going to double electricity use from this decade to the next, then boom they’ll be at 37% of energy consumption being electrical anyway no other changes needed
maybe they’re arguing that moving from direct dependence on fossil fuels to using electricity which currently depends on fossil fuels will somehow support the monopoly of fossil fuels in which case LOL fucking joke

Climate change – Benefits of greening
Over the past two centuries, humans have pumped billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, raising global temperatures in the process.
Luckily for humanity, Earth has done what it could to soften the impact.
The world’s oceans have absorbed 35% of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels since 1990, our new research shows, and the forests and other plants of the world have absorbed another 13%.

The world will soon shoot past 1.5°C. What does this mean?
Did you know that global heating will unavoidably soar past the 1.5°C temperature goal over the next three to four years? This is certain, despite our efforts to address the climate crisis.
In fact, a recent United Nations report found that with current climate and energy policies, the world is on track to heat 2.6°C above industrial levels by the end of this century. This is well beyond the Paris Agreement target of 1.5°C, and we know the dangerous consequences: more forest fires, extreme weather, loss of nature and rising seas.

Global carbon emissions may have peaked in 2026 – but only time will tell
A new report suggests this year, carbon emissions may begin to trend downward for the first time.
But it’s important to take this with a grain of salt. While news reports have hailed this event, it will take years to confirm it wasn’t just a blip caused by the US–Iran war.

Direct observation of a submarine landslide reveals seafloor processes
Submarine landslides have significant implications for marine ecology and infrastructure, yet these unpredictable events have remained challenging to study. New research co-led by Newcastle University’s Dr. Sanem Acikalin and involving an international team of collaborators from 10 institutions has provided the first direct observations of these elusive events.

More Than a Billion Years of Earth’s History Is Missing – Scientists May Finally Know Why
Earth’s rocks are missing more than a billion years of history in some places, and the slow rise and fall of continents may explain how those chapters disappeared.
A study led by University of Wollongong (UOW) PhD candidate Santosh Dhungana suggests that the slow rise and fall of continents helped create the Great Unconformity, a vast gap in Earth’s geological record. Published in Nature, the research links this missing history to currents of hot rock in the mantle that moved continents vertically over hundreds of millions of years.
