Human Rights Watch said Thursday Zambia must investigate the health fallout of a major toxic spill at a Chinese-owned mine dam after reports of risks from heavy metal poisoning. "Zambian authorities should conduct a comprehensive investigation with international and domestic experts to identify environmental health risks, and test affected communities for possible acute and cumulative heavy metal poisoning," it said. from Environment News, Earth News, Global Warming, Wild Life, Carbon Trading, Climate Business, Climate Change & Pollution News https://ift.tt/ql8xzgj via IFTTT

An Australian fire surveillance camera captured dramatic video images Wednesday of a tornado towering over a thunderstorm-struck stretch of countryside. A fire tower camera, set up to monitor for bushfires, automatically captured images of the tornado's tail curling up from the ground into a dark cloud that covered the sky near Young, a town in the Hilltops region of New South Wales. from Environment News, Earth News, Global Warming, Wild Life, Carbon Trading, Climate Business, Climate Change & Pollution News https://ift.tt/8fniwNy via IFTTT

Fossil fuel and cement producers have contributed "significantly" to the growing number and intensity of climate-change-driven heatwaves, according to a study published on Wednesday in Nature. "We also show that emissions associated with the largest producers of fossil fuels and cement contribute significantly to heatwaves," Quilcaille told AFP. Emissions from just one of these carbon majors would have been enough to cause events deemed 10,000 times more likely, they found. from Environment News, Earth News, Global Warming, Wild Life, Carbon Trading, Climate Business, Climate Change & Pollution News https://ift.tt/MKtdHsf via IFTTT

Devastating wildfires and blistering heatwaves during the world's third-hottest August on record underscored the urgency of tackling climate change and preparing for its deadly consequences, the European global warming monitor said Tuesday. "With the world's (oceans) also remaining unusually warm, these events underline not only the urgency of reducing emissions but also the critical need to adapt to more frequent and intense climate extremes," said Samantha Burgess, strategic lead for climate at the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service. from Environment News, Earth News, Global Warming, Wild Life, Carbon Trading, Climate Business, Climate Change & Pollution News https://ift.tt/L9YiOfA via IFTTT

The amount of carbon dioxide that can be stored underground is vastly overestimated, new research said Wednesday, challenging assumptions about the "limitless" potential this approach holds to reducing global warming. However, in a new paper published in the prestigious journal Nature, a team of international scientists has sharply revised down the global capacity for safely and practically storing carbon underground. from Environment News, Earth News, Global Warming, Wild Life, Carbon Trading, Climate Business, Climate Change & Pollution News https://ift.tt/bqm4vnJ via IFTTT

Portugal this year recorded its hottest and driest summer in nearly a century, with temperatures 1.5C above the average for 1991-2020 and just under a quarter of normal rainfall, the national meteorological agency said Friday. The summer months were also the driest since records began with just 24 percent of the normal rainfall during the 1991-2020 period, the Portuguese Institute for the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) said. from Environment News, Earth News, Global Warming, Wild Life, Carbon Trading, Climate Business, Climate Change & Pollution News https://ift.tt/rIhftnV via IFTTT

China experienced its hottest summer on record in 2025, the meteorological authority said, as heatwaves continued to scorch the country's south.

A devastating 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan, resulting in over 1,400 deaths and 3,000 injuries in Kunar province alone. The shallow depth of the quake and vulnerable mud-brick homes contributed to the high casualty rate. This disaster compounds Afghanistan's existing crises, including reduced aid funding and a struggling economy, hindering rescue and relief efforts. from Environment News, Earth News, Global Warming, Wild Life, Carbon Trading, Climate Business, Climate Change & Pollution News https://ift.tt/g0w4NPn via IFTTT
