Polar Bears May Struggle To Produce Milk For Their Cubs As Climate Change Melts Sea Ice
When sea ice melts, polar bears must move onto land for several months without access to food. This fasting period is challenging for all bears, but particularly for polar bear mothers who are nursing cubs.
Our research, published in Marine Ecology Progress Series, found that polar bear lactation is negatively affected by increased time spent on land when sea ice melts

They predict that each person would be limited to 2.3 tons of carbon emissions per year, the equivalent of an overseas flight from Rio de Janeiro to Riyadh. Currently, the average carbon footprint in the U.S. is 16 tons per person per year.
The carbon passports would push travelers to use more sustainable travel methods, destinations and accommodations, thus encouraging the industry to quickly adjust itself to offering greater sustainability overall

Electrifying heavy-duty vehicles requires substantially more critical metals than other EVs and could account for 62% of critical metal demand in coming decades despite making up just 4–11% of vehicles.
The researchers recommend policies to support recycling, circular economies, alternative battery chemistries, and coordinated action to balance environmental and material needs

Shawinigan trône au sommet du nombre de déversements d’eaux usées
La Ville de Shawinigan se classe au sommet d'un palmarès peu reluisant avec le pire bilan régional de déversement d'eaux usées. Plus de 13 000 débordements ont eu lieu dans le Saint-Maurice, depuis l’année 2015
Des citoyens sont inquiets des conséquences à long terme sur la faune et la flore, puisque près de 70 % des eaux usées qui se retrouvent dans le cours d’eau proviennent de la Ville de #Shawinigan

Air pollution from fires hits world's poorest hardest: study
The annual air pollution from landscape fires in low-income countries was around four times higher than in rich nations, they found, with central Africa, Southeast Asia, South America and Siberia experiencing the highest levels.
Increasing temperatures linked to human-caused climate change are increasing the risk of fire

The remarkable modification in breathing pattern, blood-oxygen binding and flight muscle morphology allows the songbirds to fly at much higher altitudes during long distance flights – as much as 4,000 metres (approximately half the cruising altitude of a commercial jet) above sea level – allowing them to avoid major shifts in temperatures and weather patterns caused by climate change
