Good Evening,

From soil degradation in the UK to disappearing storm damage data in the U.S., cracks in climate responsibility are widening. A new global framework seeks to hold fossil fuel giants accountable, while Taiwan’s fruit crisis shows how volatile weather is already hitting food systems. In Pakistan, the climate conversation shifts to children—those most vulnerable to a warming world..

📊 🌍 Climate Fact Of The Day

Did you know that over 90% of the excess heat from global warming is absorbed by the oceans? This has led to record-breaking marine heatwaves, coral bleaching, and disrupted ocean currents like the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). These changes don't just affect marine life—they alter global weather patterns, intensify storms, and threaten food security for billions who rely on seafood.
