Last update: 7 hours agoHimalayan Disaster: Nepal and China’s Tibet region are reeling after a glacier collapse triggered a deadly ice-rock avalanche and downstream floods, with hundreds confirmed dead and more than 1,000 missing; scientists say it’s too early to blame climate change for this specific event, but warming is clearly weakening glaciers, permafrost, and mountain slopes, raising the odds of cascading hazards.

Food & Water Stress: Research finds severe water scarcity in wheat regions helps explain most swings in global wheat prices, while drought pressure could push prices higher.

Corporate/Regulatory Fallout: Washington regulators issued notices of environmental violations after the May 26 Nippon Dynawave tank failure, including pollution and fish die-offs. Adaptation Innovation: South Florida startup Kind Designs is building 3D-printed “living seawalls” to better handle rising seas and flooding.
