PIRatE Lab's insight:

In this news report Seth Bornstein mentions that the members of the United Nations have a deadline to submit their report on how the county will fight climate change. Most nations haven't submit their reports yet so the UN climate chief suggests to have the plan well thought out instead and submitted late.

This article goes over how nature can help us achieve our goal set forth by the paris climate agreement, which is to limit global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees celcius. If we are smart and careful we can use nature as our ally to help fight climate change. However if we are not so smart nature could hinder our fight with rising global temperatures and contribute ultimately to natures desctruction.

I experienced the earthquake as I live on campus and it did feel pretty crazy. The earthquake felt like a 3 at least because it shook the entire building. It is nice that some tension on the plates were relieved.

Barbara Kim's comment, March 12, 1:15 AM

I didn't feel this earthquake! I wonder if earthquakes will be more common due to climate change or urban development.

Rai Young's comment, March 12, 2:06 PM

I felt this earthquake! I didn't realize it was a 4.1, it felt much smaller. I wonder if they will get more or less strong due to global rising temperatures.

PIRatE Lab's insight:

It has been over 100 days since Storm Bert caused severe flooding in Chippenham, Wiltshire. The storm, which struck in late November 2024, led to significant damage in the town center, with many organizations still unable to use their buildings. Residents and business owners have described the experience as surreal, with ongoing recovery efforts highlighting the community's resilience

Kristiann G's comment, March 8, 2:40 AM

I wonder if, in the past, the floods were shorter in duration. It is insane to see that a town has been flooded for 100 days.

David N. Folino's comment, March 10, 12:54 PM

With water damage lasting that long the entire city will need rebuilding. 100 days is more than enough to destroy foundations.

I really hope the proper conservation measures can be taken to help our butterfly populations. Butterflies are such important and beautiful creatures.

Marisol Pantoja's comment, March 7, 4:08 PM

This is a kin to the polar bears going extinct. Are butterflies going extinct this generations new environmental concern? The article did mention that butterflies can recover quickly, so there is hope to boost number back up but that is only with the help of conservation and habitat restoration.

Lauren Sauceda's comment, March 7, 11:48 PM

Articles like these can be short in writing, but so impactful in numbers and statistics. There has been an ongoing decline in butterfly populations for now 25 years as the article mentions, with declines noted since 2000, and although these species are still with us now, the rate of loss in these populations can be detrimental. To me, these articles truly shed light and almost "put in your face" how in danger these species are to extinction and how important it is to act fast on issues like these. Some populations of butterflies have declined as much as 90%, which to some might just be a number, but to others like us in ESRM can be eye opening and create even more devotion to saving our plant and creatures that live among it.

Brandon Hidalgo's comment, March 8, 2:46 AM

This is such a heartbreaking article and I've heard much more on this already. A new study shows a severe drop in butterfly populations across North America with some species dropping as much as 90%. Thus, this is clearly urgent. Especially as butterflies aren't only valuable for their beauty. They also act as major pollinators as well as food for some of our beloved birds. Furthermore, they act as a sort of indicator of the health of an ecosystem due to their sensitivity to environmental changes.

The Trump administration is considering terminating the lease of the support office for Hawaii's Mauna Loa Observatory, a pivotal institution in climate research. The Mauna Loa Observatory is renowned for initiating global carbon dioxide monitoring and maintaining the longest continuous record of atmospheric CO₂ measurements. The potential closure of its Hilo support office could severely disrupt the collection and analysis of critical data essential for understanding climate change

By destroying trees, which dry out and provide ideal fuel, hurricanes can create conditions for wildfires. Add some drought, it's essentially a formula for disaster. I didn't think about it like that, that is wild.

Brandon Hidalgo's comment, March 15, 3:00 AM

Its so important to be able to understand the interconnectedness of these disasters . Better understanding of how and why these events are getting worse is pivotal to make any genuine change. This is an example of climate change feeding into itself in a loop.

Here, it is explained that lawmakers found California was unnecessarily unaddressed for helping vulnerable people during a disaster. Unfortunately, Altadena residents Anthony Mitchell Sr. and his son Justin both passed while waiting for assistance to evacuate. Therefore, they set up a hearing to improve evacuations. "No amount of planning will guarantee success during a disaster, but I think a lack of planning is a contributing factor to failure during a disaster, " said Grant Parks at a hearing back in 2022.

It must have been shocking for the affected communities to potentially face a disaster of this magnitude, especially with several decades having passed since the last cyclone. I wonder how well-prepared they were in their cyclone response, as there are certainly people in this area who hadn't lived through the previous disaster.

PIRatE Lab's insight:

An atmospheric river is bringing heavy rain to California, with risks of flooding, landslides, and debris flows, especially in wildfire-affected areas. While these weather systems are essential for the state’s water supply, intense storms can cause significant damage, as seen in past disasters. Scientists warn that climate change may increase the intensity of such storms, making extreme rainfall events more common in the future.

Federal funding freezes under Trump have stalled wildfire prevention in Colorado, leaving nonprofits like the Poudre River coalition unable to access grants. Legal challenges have paused some cuts, but wildfire preparedness remains uncertain.

Natalie Jones's comment, March 7, 7:30 PM

Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of what we are going to see regarding this administration making budget cuts and cancelling funding for environmental efforts. If we continue to ignore climate change is a real issue and threat, we are going to start seeing the consequences of these "freezes" and budget cuts rather quickly

Barbara Kim's comment, March 7, 11:08 PM

I feel like this new administration isn’t fully considering the serious consequences of these budget cuts and funding freezes. By cutting or delaying funds for wildfire prevention and other environmental efforts, they’re putting communities at greater risk. These decisions could lead to more frequent and severe disasters, and it seems like they’re not recognizing how damaging this will be in the long term
