"Kellogg's has stopped using rice grains in Rice Krispies and Coco Pops in the UK due to "changing weather conditions" that have disrupted supplies. Crops have been hit by dry weather in key producing countries in Asia, reducing harvests and driving up prices." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqvg0y44ym7vo Bit of a canary in the coalmine moment there, rice makes a much bigger contribution to a lot of people's diets than in the form of breakfast cereal. #ClimateDiary #FoodSecurity
No more rice grains in Kellogg's Rice Krispies due to changing weather

The new recipes mean cereal packaging will now include a 'contains wheat gluten' warning.

A key Southern Ocean water layer has turned saltier, denser and deeper since 2016 as Antarctic meltwater input fell, research suggests, with possible implications for ocean carbon storage, deep-ocean heat and global currents. https://oceanographicmagazine.com/news/antarctic-meltwater-engine-sputters-as-key-ocean-layer-reverses/ #Oceans #Antarctic #AAIW #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateDiary #ClimateCrisis #Environment #Ocean #AMOC

Lake Powell recently dropped to a historic low, slashing hydropower and the flow of water downstream. As drought deepens, groups are pushing to drain the lake entirely to reveal its long-submerged rock arches and spires and allow wildlife along the Colorado River to recover.

After decades of losses, mangrove trees are gaining ground on coastlines around the world, often in places they have never grown before. Paradoxically, scientists say, warming temperatures and the destruction of inland forests are helping to power the revival.

Once again, #AltText has made me look closer and be wiser. I’ve been watching this building go up. I decided it has enough finished windows now to be allowed on Mastodon on a Friday. I looked it up so I could put the height in the image description and discovered to my surprise that it's a wooden building. It turns out that it’s been named Træ (Danish for Tree), so once the sign goes up, I suppose it would have twigged with me eventually. #Aarhus #ClimateDiary #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday

I've just realised that it mighn't be obvious why I included the hashtag #ClimateDiary in the preceding toot. The answer is in the Alt Text.

I knew they'd used old wind turbine blades in the construction of this new building. Until I saw the finished building close up, I didn't know how. Wind turbine blades repurposed into heat shades. There's a certain climate-crisis harmony in that. #Aarhus #ClimateDiary#WindowFriday #FensterFreitag

As national security and the hunt for rare minerals come to dominate Arctic agendas, governments are slashing support for wildlife research. Scientists say the loss of monitoring is unprecedented and comes as climate change dramatically reshapes life in the Far North.
