Climate for kids - bee-eaters, icterine warmblers, are moving north for colder climes. Ivory gulls are already at the North Pole! Polar bear poop shows some eating moss/seaweed. Sea ice loss, no ice floes for seals & no food for polar bears. Who adapts? youtu.be/LzA3Y8U82Gg?si…

I don’t get any negative comments other than the crazy arguments from some who don’t believe in climate change. Once in a while you get some cute comments like this😀. Thank you all. I do this because I enjoy creating content & as my own climate action. Fun comments make it fun.

Climate for Kids - Nature makes the rules, biology finds the loopholes. How are some surviving warming? Pika - whistling hare - is finding cool réfugia in valleys. Lives in mountains, have to move up as well t find cool temps. But very few remain! Monitor youtu.be/X-KrYm_-K9c?si…

Climate for Kids - crops, cocoa, vineyards suffering but high latitudes will benefit from Canada to Siberia. Dams may have prevented Water wars? Water is still a big problem - too much, too little, distribution, displacing people. Need Solutions for food! youtu.be/Sjf8R0s1lAU?si…

Climate for Kids - concert-goers & apple orchards get hit with hail, crops & matches get drowned in heavy rain, skiers have to keep going higher for snow, blizzards shut down cities. Climate change has become a party-pooper with extreme events any time! youtu.be/kOlfAu5QZTw?si…

Climate for kids - warm, wet climate increases pathogens, vectors & their ranges & we move them with travel/shipping. Allergy seasons come early. Floods/droughts bring diseases. Thawing permafrost release some old bacteria/viruses also! Pollution kills!! youtu.be/iPfCiinHcSQ?si…

Climate for Kids - we talk about monsoon extremes a lot, but Lake Poopó in Bolivia is a showpiece for consequences of consequences of climate change. Irrigation, glacier loss, mining for zinc/lithium/tin have made it disappear. Buying cellphones to Poopó! youtu.be/qNyY811ukqU?si…

An enthu reporter may believe we can get into advocacy/activism but we is watching us? Lobbying would bother us when others do it. I agree with this view. We have become the judge, jury & executioners without really doing our part completely. Solutions! youtu.be/l5xynzR41-c?si…

Climate for Kids - sea level rise is one issue. Islands also face water/energy issues. From tropics to Chesapeake Bay to Alaska, island states are fighting climate change. Some have made plans to move entire populations elsewhere! Climate action! Adapt! youtu.be/jSJeI63kzAc?si…

Headlines were made with this press lease. Motivating COP29 is apparently the goal. What will be local effects? Could there be any unintended consequences? How long will it remain >1.5C? Social scientists ask good questions. Tunnel vision has limitations youtu.be/UIlkUQS-DH8?si…

Climate for Kids - current Climate change is the consequence of our actions. Arctic ice loss, for ex., is the consequence of climate change. The consequence of that is Everybody wants to grab the Arctic for fossil fuels there & the northwest passage! Wow! youtu.be/fULR4XXN1ZI?si…

We are likely to cross 1.5C this year. So? But look at this elephant taking a shower. Dream of a day when we will communicate with animals/birds with AI and invite them into an ark to save them from us. Solutions should make us constructive & optimistic. youtu.be/IJYVCR7X48s

Climate for Kids - some changes in the Earth System are irreversible; at least in short time. Glacier melt is one! We call these Tipping Points. Many potential points of no return exist. Hard to predict or prepare for them. So Mitigate, Mitigate, Mitigate youtu.be/fd3ZTP2IklQ?si…

So many climate communicators spending so much time in the media. Why panic when a new person gets elected? This is the best time to show your communication skills on someone who is not convinced? Preaching to the choir is easy. Keep your eye on who does what. Work on solutions

CLimate for Kids - vicious cycle when permafrost thaws, releasing CH4 & warming more. You see wavy roads, tilted houses, leaning bridges in Alaska. Virtuous cycle with eastern tropical Pacific cooling! Ocean takes up heat to modulate global warming. youtu.be/R5ariVkDjj8?si…

Tunnel visions lead us to comfortable rabbit holes. But ignorance of other tunnel visions and rabbit holes produces results that we don’t like. We climate scientists also have to watch for our tunnel visions and rabbit holes. frontline.thehindu.com/environment/do…

What will happen in my backyard when cross 1.5C or 2C? This is what we need to figure out. And. What will happen to the country and the world with the new US president? This is what we have to figure out. Everything else is water under the bridge. It’s not the end of the world.

Climate for Kids - heatwaves, floods, droughts, stronger cyclones, wildfires, etc., with a warmer - wetter atmosphere. But hail is increasing! Apple orchards in the Himalayan foothills are getting damaged. Predictions are a challenge! Become a forecaster! youtu.be/h2bnwxRZ6MI?si…

Climate for Kids - oceans warming by taking up >90% of additional heat trapped because of increasing GHGs. Ocean pH also dropping! Warm oceans hold less CO2. Sea levels rising. We must track all impacts & protect oceans from us. U.N. Decade of Ocean Sci. youtu.be/edT0AMbVvr0?si…

Climate for Kids - plastic toys dumped in northern Pacific were nice tracers for ocean currents. Rivers of currents in oceans involved in Western Boundary, El Niño, & global impacts. Europe has milder weather compared to same latitudes over North America! youtu.be/uS5xjqa1HPg?si…
