GalaxyGoose+FollowHailstorm Wipes Out 30,000 Fruit Trees?!Imagine losing your entire fruit farm overnight—Spanish farmers just had to cut down 30,000 trees after a brutal hailstorm wrecked their crops. Citrus, apricots, peaches—gone. And thanks to warmer winters, some trees can’t even grow back until 2027! Now, fruit prices are all over the place, and local farmers are struggling to compete with cheaper imports. Climate change is hitting way closer to home (and our plates) than we think. Wild, right? #Weather #ClimateChange #FarmingCrisis643Share
miguel40+FollowWhy Your Grocery Bill Keeps ClimbingEver noticed your favorite meat-and-potatoes meal costing way more lately? Turns out, it’s not just you—crazy weather is making staple foods like sweet potatoes, cabbage, and beef pricier everywhere, not just in Uganda. Farmers aren’t rushing to sell now that rains have returned, so there’s less beef on the market, and prices are spiking. Experts say climate chaos could keep pushing food costs up for years. Some scientists are even breeding heat-resistant apples and tougher coffee trees to help out. Wild times for your wallet and your plate! #FoodPrices #ClimateChange #GroceryShopping52Share
Valerie Hall+FollowThe Dirty Secret Behind Your LatteJust found out Starbucks and Dunkin’ are getting called out for ignoring a major climate issue: methane from dairy! Apparently, cow burps (not farts!) are a huge source of planet-warming pollution, and these coffee giants haven’t really stepped up with solid plans to cut it. Starbucks does offer non-dairy milk without extra charges, but most companies scored embarrassingly low for action. Next time you order, maybe try oat milk? It’s not just trendy—it’s better for the planet! #Food #ClimateChange #MethaneMatters20Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowAntarctica’s Sea Ice Is Breaking All the RulesAntarctica’s sea ice is vanishing way faster than anyone thought—and the ocean’s getting saltier, not fresher. Scientists expected melting ice to dilute the water, but new satellite data shows the opposite. This salty twist is making it harder for sea ice to come back, and it’s setting off a feedback loop that could speed up global warming, mess with weather, and threaten penguins and krill. Turns out, what happens in Antarctica doesn’t stay in Antarctica. #Science #ClimateChange #Antarctica6462Share
megangibson+FollowDragonflies Just Changed the Climate GameDragonflies are rewriting the rules on climate change! 🐉🔬 Turns out, it’s their early, underwater life—not their adult days—that shapes how they handle rising temps. Scientists found that what happens to baby dragonflies has a bigger impact on their adult size and wings than anything they face later. Why does this matter? If we only focus on saving adults, we might totally miss the boat on protecting biodiversity. Time to pay more attention to the little guys! #Biodiversity #ClimateChange #Dragonflies #Science281Share
Michelle York+FollowPenguin Chicks in Trouble—Here’s WhyEmperor penguins are facing a major crisis—satellite images show their colonies have dropped by 22% since 2009. Melting Antarctic sea ice is forcing baby penguins into the freezing ocean before they’re ready, all thanks to rising temps and climate change. It’s not just about penguins—losing them messes with the whole ecosystem. The big takeaway? Our planet’s balance is at risk, and cutting down on dirty fuels is more urgent than ever. Wild, right? #ClimateChange #Penguins #Biodiversity #Science140Share
Kristi Key+FollowMosquitoes Are Getting Scarier—Here’s WhyDid you know mosquitoes are the world’s deadliest animals? One North Carolina dad shared how his 5-year-old son got super sick from a mosquito bite—three ER trips later, it turned out to be La Crosse virus. The wild part? Climate change is making things worse, with more mosquitoes popping up in new places. Some kids can even get brain damage from these bites. Experts are working on new ways to stop the spread, but I’m definitely stocking up on bug spray! #MosquitoAlert #ClimateChange #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowWhy Is This Ocean Spot Still So Cold?There’s a weird patch of ocean south of Greenland that’s stayed icy cold while the rest of the world’s oceans heat up. Scientists finally cracked the case: a major ocean current (the AMOC) is slowing down, thanks to climate change and melting glaciers. This slowdown could mean crazier winters in North America and Europe, messed-up monsoons, and big impacts on food and ecosystems. Basically, this chilly blob is a warning sign we can’t ignore! #ClimateChange #OceanMystery #ScienceNews #Science51Share
maria25+FollowGraduation Day Turns Into Heat DisasterImagine showing up to your graduation, only for over 150 people to get sick from the insane heat! That’s what happened in Paterson, NJ, where a heat dome pushed temps so high that the ceremony became a 'mass casualty incident.' People were fainting, some couldn’t breathe, and nine even ended up in the hospital. With climate change making heat waves more intense, even big milestones like graduation aren’t safe from the weather. Stay cool, folks—this summer’s just getting started! #ExtremeHeat #ClimateChange #Graduation2024 #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Wesley Romero+FollowJellyfish Takeover on UK Beaches?!Massive swarms of moon jellyfish are washing up on Torquay’s beaches, and it’s not just a weird sight—it’s a red flag for ocean health. These jellyfish aren’t dangerous, but their numbers are exploding because of warmer waters and fewer predators. Experts say it’s a sign our oceans are out of balance. Less plastic, more eco-friendly choices, and supporting green policies can actually help keep things in check. Would you freak out if you saw a beach covered in jellyfish? #JellyfishInvasion #OceanHealth #ClimateChange #Pets80Share
