The bicibús: how Barcelona got kids cycling safely to school – and loving it!
he bus leaves Monday to Friday at 8.30am sharp outside the Sant Antoni market in #Barcelona’s #Eixample district, but this is no ordinary vehicle; it has hundreds of wheels, dozens of drivers – and no passengers. This is the Barcelona #bicibús, the fun, safe mode of transport that makes going to school feel like a party.
On a cool September morning, a group of about 60 parents and children aged three to 11, on bikes and scooters, gather in the Plaça Conxita Pérez for the school run.

Due to the severe drought affecting the #Amazon, more than 130 pink #dolphins and #tucuxis (another type of freshwater dolphin) have been found dead in Lake Tefé, near the municipality of Tefé, just over 500 kilometers from #Manaus, the capital of the state of #Amazonas.
💥 In a statement posted on social media, the institute stated that the deaths of the pink dolphins and tucuxis began on Saturday, the 23rd, but the cause has not been confirmed yet. Technicians from the institute and government agencies are analyzing water quality and the deceased animals.
🚨 With the drought affecting the Amazon, several municipalities in the Amazonas state have declared a state of emergency in recent days. The state government has also expressed concerns about the possibility that the drought may impact the distribution of water and food to around 500,000 people.

THE AMAZON IS BURNING: With nearly 7,000 wildfires reported by September 29, the state of Amazonas had its worst month of the year for wildfires
💥 It's the second-worst September on record since the historical series began in 1998, with only 2022 having a higher number of wildfires, with 8,600.
📊 These data come from the Fire Program of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). In August, there were 5,500 wildfires in Amazonas, compared to an average of 3,532 for the month.
📉 INPE data also shows that there has been at least a reduction in deforestation in the region. By September 22, an area of 346 square kilometers had been devastated compared to almost 1,100 square kilometers recorded in September 2022.
🔥 Wildfires are even more common during this time of the year when rainfall decreases. However, this year, the region is experiencing severe drought conditions.

El Niño: The strong heatwave that hit the country in the second half of September is expected to return in October. The forecast from the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) predicts that temperatures will be above average for the month in most of Brazil.
🗓 October is typically known for being hot with records of extreme temperatures. However, this year, the presence of El Niño could lead to another heatwave.
🌡 Temperatures are expected to be 2°C to 3°C above the average of previous years in most parts of the country, including states in the North, Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest regions. In the South and northern Amazonas region, temperatures may be up to 1°C above the average.
⚠️ Areas in Mato Grosso, Pará, Tocantins, Maranhão, Piauí, and western Bahia are expected to be the most affected, with average temperatures exceeding 29°C.

While the northern parts of Iran trying to dig out of the muds and recover from the worst floods in 100 years, the southern province of Baluchestan is still hammered with a deadly dust storm that has put some 2000 people in hospital.
Man more are suffering from the never ending dust storm and some schools were forced to cancel their start of the school year.
The climate catastrophe is showing it's horrifying reality in both parts of Iran and showing us what is the future we will see in more places all over the world.
In the mean time, the public and the politicians are all busy with Russia, China and imigration.

United Nations : every year 6.7 million people die because of air pollution globally.
Imagine if we didn't fall for Reagan's coup against green movement and push for cheap oil, followed by stupidity of the green movement to go after nuclear power instead of big oil, we wouldn't be in this situation.
But still, as well know the danger of global warming, pollution's and all the problems caused by them, we keep ignoring the obvious and focus on stupid politics, profit for the wealthy and ridiculous non-issues like plastic straws or electric cars.

The magic of halfmoon farming is spreading beyond sub saharan Africa
The simple idea to create a halfmoon to capture the rain water and provide more water to the ground that it would usually do when most vegetation has been removed and risk for erosion and floods increases, this idea has started helping the hills and dry land to turn into pockets of greets with native plants and deeply rooted bushes helping to preserve the top soil, provide more ground water and prevent floods.

#Brazil will face the largest El Niño peak ever recorded in history; an unusual heatwave will affect a significant portion of the country with extreme temperatures and possibly setting records in some states.
The exceptional episode at the end of winter and the expected temperatures for this week and the next will surpass historical average values for maximum temperatures in all five regions of the country, with a high potential for record-breaking temperatures in September, and perhaps even all-time records.
The intense heat, with temperatures nearing 40°C to 45°C, will impact a large part of the Southeast, Midwest, the interior of the Northeast, Santa Catarina, Paraná, as well as Rondônia, Tocantins, areas in the Central-South of Pará, and part of the #Amazonas region.

Once again dust storms are suffocating people in many parts of Iran and the worst is (once again) happens in Baluchestan province where thousands of people have fallen I'll with respiratory problems.
Dust storms are not usual in some parts of Iran. But the repeated storms, their length and coverage is the results of increasing temperature that slowly killing people unable to defend themselves against the invisible enemy.
This is not mad max or the dune you can watch and go home, this is the life of millions across the globe who fall victim to something they didn't have created.

Clear satellite images showing the parts of #Derna, àLibya, that were swept away by the river flood.

Libyan sources have released a horrifying video of results of the tornado hit the city of #Derna. According to news, almost half the city reported gone
#Libya's eastern city of Derna has buried 700 of at least 1,000 people killed in devastating flooding and 10,000 are reported missing
The startling death and devastation wreaked by #Mediterranean storm #Daniel pointed to the storm’s intensity, but also the vulnerability of a nation torn apart by chaos for more than a decade. The country is divided by rival governments, one in the east, the other in the west, and the result has been neglect of infrastructure in many areas.
The death toll can reach 100 000 people!

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw in Sweden, back on late 90s saying "global warming : I love it"
This is highly unusual for #Sweden and other Scandinavian countries.
