Some river levels are still increasing after parts of Queensland recorded their highest three-day rainfall totals

This is a super damaging event, I was reading about it and it has 59 people dead, but also over 400,00 people labeled as affected by the event. The cyclone had winds up to 115 mph, which is something I can't even imagine.

This is a reminder of how vulnerable island nations like Madagascar are to intense and frequent storms. The fact that it struck so soon after another cyclone underscores how compounding disasters can overwhelm communities, highlighting the urgent need for stronger climate resilience and disaster preparedness.

This was an interesting read. Goes to show there's always something that can be missed in our studies, and there's always room for improvement. Wonder if heat drones could help with their documentation...??

With them setting up a camp near one of the worst environmental disasters ever leads to more impacts to the community than they affected. People are still trying to recover from the last disaster and they are also trying to prep for when the next one is. The NIH setting up a camp there doesn't do those people in the community any justice, it just makes them panic more.

I see this happening in parts of the US too. It is so concerning as this is a clear indicator of anthropogenic climate change.

This is also happening in Southern California. The entire winter was a constant temperature and precipitation pendulum and it felt very different than the winters I grew up with

This is a terrible situation, the level to which the Potomac is polluted now is tremendous. The water was compared to raw sewage itself with very high bacteria levels in the water, including Staphylococcus aureus and E. Coli.

It is so interesting that solar storms could possibly contribute to tectonic activity. While they may not be the sole cause of earthquakes it's certainly interesting that they found that, "unusual ionospheric behavior has often been detected before powerful earthquakes." Definitely not a connection that most people would expect but I find this theory very intriguing!

Truly tragic. It seems that there were many other landslide deaths across New Zealand around the same time. It leads me to question what improvements can be made to infrastructure in New Zealand to help prevent future landslides.

It is devastating that people are willing to saccrifice an entire species for economic gain. This article describes the speed rule as "one of the most effective, feasible options available to reduce the likelihood of lethal outcomes from vessel collisions with right whales." Another radical statistic stated was that a third of whale deaths are actually recorded & documented. Based on these facts, the speed rule saves more whales than we realize & will cause numerous unrecorded deaths if speed is deregulated.

This is a very unfortunate situation for farmers in Florida. I am glad that this is being designated as a natural disaster, and hopefully these farmers will be able to receive aid that helps mitigate the impact on Florida's growers. This historic freeze does bring to mind the effects of climate change, and the reality is that historic disasters such as this will continue to occur, and likely with more frequency, as climate change advances.

Even Orange County is absolutely blooming again, which would be fantastic if it wasn't full of mustard.

This is a really interesting article. It is astonishing how the desert can be so underestimated in its beauty and diversity.

This is very fascinating to learn about! Makes you wonder what other places that lack certain key sustainers of life might actually find themselves with diverse species.

Taking a look in the article, I saw a lack of attribution to the effects of global warming and rather praying to the Snow Gods and a hope for a late winter. This is interesting and I wonder how far the exposure and education of global warming extends to very rural communities. Hopefully there is preparation under way for potential fires and drought effects.

I find it kinda interesting how many modernly banned materials could still be found in our school, and in the event of a structural or ceiling collapse. In the event of an earthquake, much of the school would be considered biohazardous because of the lead, fiberglass, and remanant popcorn ceilings.

It is crazy to me that the current president denied funding relief following a disastrous flooding and two fires. The Southern Colorado Flooding caused $13.82 million in damages to roads and infrastructure. Reports claim that the Trump administration has released billions in disaster aid but certain states such as Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, and California have not received any assistance.

I am curious as to how much this large restoration event is going to cost and if they received their funding from FEMA
