New Lake Okeechobee Plan Aims for More Water for the Everglades, Less Toxic Algae
Instead of prioritizing flood control above all else, the strategy is designed to balance all the needs of the watershed. “This plan marks a cultural shift on the part of the Army Corps of Engineers.” At the heart of the vast watershed that forms Florida’s fragile Everglades is Lake Okeechobee. A century ago the water of the state’s largest lake spilled effortlessly beyond its southern shore, flowing eventually into the sawgrass prairies of the river of grass. Today the natural course of the water has been altered forever by some of the most complex water management infrastructure in the world.…
Pacific islands face grave danger as sea levels surge, UN warns
Warning that sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate, particularly around vulnerable Pacific island nations, UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a fresh climate SOS to the world. His alert coincides with a new report from the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), which warns that climate change threatens the very existence of the Pacific archipelagos. The WMO’s State of the Climate in the South-West Pacific 2023 report, released Monday, stated that "2023 was substantially warmer than the previous several years" in the region, which is "extremely prone to disasters associated with hydrometeorological hazards, especially storms and floods." The report recorded 34 such hazard…
Incentivizing Innovation: The Key to Solving Our Climate Crisis
Scientists have been sounding the alarm on climate change for decades. Presidential administrations Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle have struggled to find common ground when it comes to solving the climate crisis. You’d think there would be more cooperative spirit; climate change is agnostic to political ideology and doesn’t care which party has the majority in Congress. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced in April 2020, “the Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines (ACTIV) public-private partnership to develop a coordinated research strategy for prioritizing and speeding development of the most promising treatments…
Project 2025: a threat to Florida’s climate science and public safety
The only thing scarier than a category 4 hurricane ravaging Florida, is not having the proper infrastructure in place to help keep Floridians informed and safe. No, I don’t mean the infamous Overseas Highway or the dangerous Interstate 4. I mean the National Weather Service (NWS), a subagency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which not only forecasts the weather, but provides warnings of hazardous weather to the public. NOAA is a science-based agency and the hub of much of the federal research around climate change. Both of these vital agencies are on the chopping block if Project…
