Although many ecosystems can weather several years of moderate drought, consecutive years of extreme dryness push them past a tipping point, resulting in dramatic declines in plant growth, researchers report in Science. https://scim.ag/4ogN9I8
Drought intensity and duration interact to magnify losses in primary productivity
As droughts become longer and more intense, impacts on terrestrial primary productivity are expected to increase progressively. Yet, some ecosystems appear to acclimate to multiyear drought, with cons...

‘Motherhood penalty’: Working moms are paying a steep price amid return-to-office orders
As companies across Canada enforce return-to-office (RTO) orders for employees, some wonder how to balance their responsibilities, especially mothers who juggle caregiving with their full-time careers.

PRO: It saves money and keeps mail affordable. It’s a healthy little walk (But: why do people use a car for less than 100 meters?)

CON: Not convenient for those with mobility impairments, especially in winter. (But: if the box is on the opposite side of the footpath, walking isn’t safe either.)

New sign: the expensive renovation of @westernu.ca Chemistry Parking lot (that removed green strips and 5 trees) REDUCED the number of parking spaces by 5% to accommodate larger cars. Why do people need a pickup truck to commute to work?

No wonder we need to put more green spaces under concrete

It is painful to see, but not surprising.

The MAGA movement shares many traits and tactics with the Hitler movement, at least for 1928 to 1937. This includes virulent anti-immigration rhetoric (later action) and defamation, persecution (and later murder) of the most significant ethnic minority.

A strategy of extending the car-based infrastructure to bring even more cars to campus, reduces safety for walkers and cyclists, and pushes nature away from people is harmful for sustainable development and the mental health of students, staff, and faculty.

Larry Cornies’ editorial hits right on the mark. London needs a better balance between development approvals and our mobility infrastructure. lfpress.com/opinion/colu...
Yet this council is full-speed-ahead on approvals without adequate regard for traffic implications. It’s simply not sustainable.

As I am nearing completion of my book "From Democracy to Fascism", I struggle how to communicate in a single Chapter the events in Germany in Jan to Apr @1933.

How can words express how quickly cruelty won out, people discarded their values, and opposition voices were silenced by intimidation?

Competition is the lifeblood of a market economy; market concentration usually leaves consumers and suppliers worse off. These insights shape competition policy yet are difficult to apply in the digital economy.

Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating
A decision to negotiate over the heads of the Ukrainians would reveal just how Trump sees Ukraine and Europe.

Competition is at the heart of a market economy, market power undermines its benefits. Big issue in the digital economy:

“Regulators have begun to understand digital business models better ... and identify potential market power abuses.”

“Nasa data reveals dramatic rise in intensity of weather events. Extreme events such as floods and droughts are becoming more frequent, longer-lasting and more severe, study says.”

Obviously.

That’s what #ClimateChange does.

Makes the bad things more likely, and worse.

More likely. And worse.
