India makes history at COP29, rejects NCQG decision, speaks up for Global South

India was the first to reject the decision because it doesn't reflect the priorities of the Global South

RIP #RatanTata: homage from an environmentalist. I mourn his passing and the loss of time when business leaders stood for public good and tolerance of dissent as ideas that we did not know existed downtoearth.org.in/environme…
Ratan Tata: homage from an environmentalist

Ratan Tata: homage from an environmentalist

Our first interaction with the late Ratan Tata was not pleasant. Delhi was choking with pollution; our campaign on the right to clean air had been launched. Die

Preliminary rainfall estimates from NOAA's MRMS puts about half a million folks in Florida (850 square miles) in a 1-100 year Flood event from #Milton. Some areas even experienced a 1-200 year event. #FLwx @NWSTampaBay @NWSMelbourne @NWSMiami #StateOfTheFlood

Well said @shahzadgani. Not short cut solutions. Cloud seeding is a big gimmick. You wrote well what is right on this issue. I am sure, you may gain a few enemies in the scientific fraternity. Be bold & speak only truth. We have responsibility to the society. I admire you.

Helene’s Cat 4 landfall gives the U.S. a record eight Cat 4 or Cat 5 Atlantic hurricane landfalls in the past eight years (2017-2024), seven of them being continental U.S. landfalls. That’s as many Cat 4 and 5 landfalls as occurred in the prior 57 years.

The landslides that killed hundreds of people in Wayanad, northern Kerala were triggered by a burst of rainfall that was made about 10% heavier by climate change 📈🌧️ Until fossil fuels are replaced with renewable energy, downpours will increase, risking more landslides. 🧵

Drone footage shows the extent of damage after deadly landslides struck Wayanad in the southern Indian state of Kerala on Tuesday. Parts of Wayanad were flattened by thick torrents of mud and water. Hopes of finding more survivors are fading even as hundreds remain missing.
