Cacao trees are highly sensitive to temperature. More heat stress can reduce growth, lower yields, and impact the quality of cocoa beans.

Disaster is a function of three things: exposure, vulnerability, and hazard.
As climate change pushes up the hazard rates for wildfire, flood, hurricane & more, lack of adaptation and maladaptation on the part of both public and private entities is increasing vulnerability.

Barcelona is turning subway trains into power stations
Barcelona is using the regenerative braking of its subways to power trains, stations, and neighborhood EV chargers. Could New York do it too?

How much of global warming is human-caused, as opposed to natural?
MORE THAN 100%
That’s right: according to natural factors, including the sun and natural cycles, the Earth should be slowly, gradually cooling right now.
That’s why humans are responsible for all observed warming and then some.
