Scientists and wildfire activists say a confluence of factors heighten fire risks in the Aloha State and could trigger more disasters if action isn’t urgently taken. These include the spread of flammable nonnative grasses across abandoned farm fields and a failure to manage the vegetation and harden communities. In addition, changes in the climate are fueling stronger hurricanes and may be contributing to drier conditions in Hawaii

Le programme de poubelles flottantes lancé en 2019 a d’ailleurs déjà capturé "des centaines de milliers de pièces de plastiques"
Elle pense que les « requins à déchets » viendront apporter une précieuse aide complémentaire. "Même si les poubelles flottantes sont efficaces, elles ne bougent pas vraiment dans l’eau"
"Les poubelles flottantes ne peuvent donc pas se rendre dans les coins, contrairement aux requins-robots à déchets"

“Consider the analogy of discovering your child smokes cigarettes. Your child can’t just pay other children not to smoke, and then tell you their smoking is “health neutral”. This is fundamentally deceptive behaviour and doesn’t solve the problem. Your child is still smoking,”

In-depth interviews find some Americans consider crisis language overblown, leading to added skepticism of claims
participants stressed the importance of hearing factual statements from scientists rather than beliefs that may be shaped by their own political leanings or their research funders
Many interviewees said that extreme weather events are natural occurrences and did not draw a connection between their intensity or frequency and climate change

“It’s clearly an ideological decision, taken at a time when climate impacts have hit Canada so devastatingly. It is completely irresponsible to halt the deployment of cost-effective and proven climate solutions,” said Caroline Brouillette, executive director of the Climate Action Network. “The province is sending the message they’re not open for business. These projects are already happening, and they’re not only good for the environment, they’re good for the economy.”

The wildfire smoke that choked much of the mid-and-eastern U.S. earlier this summer is an added stressor, says Modarai. The smoke carries microscopic particles that can reach the bloodstream, and, eventually, the kidneys, which can be damaged over time. “For any laborer who might already have kidney disease, dehydration caused by excessive heat and air pollution worsened by climate change could accelerate their disease progression, requiring them to depend on dialysis.
