Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels.

Scientists just found several fossil bumblebees covered in pollen that directly matches fossil flowers nearby.
The 24-million-year-old discovery reveals the oldest known evidence connecting pollinators to the pollinated.

These ancient bumblebees were found with their pollen source
Insects have long pollinated plants, but evidence of ancient pairing is rare. Fossils now show bees and linden trees goes back 24 million years.
