It is a cloudy June day and the region and the region has spent over a year in drought, the third worst since the canal opened in 1914, forcing the authorities to restrict the number and size of vessels crossing the continent, creating today’s waterborne traffic jam. The vessel limits are a response to a drop in water levels at Lake Gatun, a water reserve essential for the canal’s operation. Since the drought, the impact of extreme weather on the country’s fast-growing economy has been under scrutiny, leading Panama’s authorities to adopt strategies to combat the risk of events triggered by the climate crisis: undertaking works to ensure the canal’s continued operation and, simultaneously, investing in sustainable development and adaptation. x Bayer’s latest PR campaign seeks to align the company with farmers. But to truly stand with farmers and pesticide applicators is to expose Bayer’s PR spin and push the EPA to follow the science on glyphosate. https://t.co/4xpNGXcyWn — Daily Climate (@TheDailyClimate) November 7, 2024 Op-ed: If Bayer really wanted to stand with farmers, it would stop selling them toxics Lee Johnson’s lymphoma lesions made even wearing a cotton shirt painful as he sat in the front of the courtroom on August 7, 2018, for the closing arguments in his lawsuit against the chemical company Bayer for links between his cancer and the company’s most widely sold herbicide, Roundup. After three days of jury deliberations, Bayer was found guilty of hiding the truth about its products’ health risks to farmers and groundskeepers like Johnson. It was ordered to pay $289 million in damages. In the wake of that trial and the first wave of additional ones, thousands of pages of internal corporate documents became publicly available, most of them from Monsanto, the original manufacturer of Roundup that Bayer acquired in 2018. The documents clearly show the company had evidence linking Roundup’s key ingredient, glyphosate, to cancer as far back as 1983. The documents also reveal a multi-million dollar PR effort over years to shape the story of glyphosate and thwart regulation. The use of this cancer-linked chemical has increased in the U.S. more than 10-fold since. x #Adaptation is a central part of the fight against climate change.

The prognosis comes the week before diplomats meet at the Cop29 climate summit and a day after a majority of voters in the US, the biggest historical polluter of planet-heating gas, chose to make Donald Trump president. Trump has described climate change as a “hoax” and promised to roll back policies to clean up the economy. The report found 2024 is likely to be the first year more than 1.5C (2.7F) hotter than before the Industrial Revolution, a level of warming that has alarmed scientists. “This marks a new milestone in global temperature records and should serve as a catalyst to raise ambition for the upcoming climate change conference,” said Dr Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service. x After Disasters, Whites Gain Wealth, While People of Color Lose, Research Shows - Inside Climate News https://t.co/vkMrnLtg3p — Robert D. Bullard (@DrBobBullard) November 7, 2024 After Disasters, Whites Gain Wealth, While People of Color Lose, Research Shows When Hurricane Milton knocked out power to Charlene Love’s apartment for a week, forcing her to toss all the contents of her fridge, she did not eat for two days. This would be a terrible hardship for anyone. But Love, a warm, round woman who prefers to be called Ms. Love or just Love, suffers from multiple health ailments that have left her disabled, including heart problems and epilepsy. She is due for a second open heart surgery. “I’m on a fixed income, and when all my food go bad, I cannot go back out and buy that food again,” said Love, 54, who lives in the two-bedroom apartment with her husband and grown son. “I just didn’t eat because there was no food.” Milton caused widespread wind and flood damage across Florida after making landfall in October 67 miles south of Tampa as a Category 3 storm. The hurricane was the second to strike the state in a mere 13 days, after Helene swirled ashore in northwest Florida as a Category 4 storm, carving out a vast swath of destruction from southwest Florida to western North Carolina. x Researchers just put a "twist" on #SolarEnergy!
