The blog post Extreme Weather in Canada: The Role of Climate Change explores the detrimental effects of climate change on Canada’s weather patterns, particularly focusing on extreme weather events. It begins with a primer on how climate affects weather, then delves into the correlation between climate change and increasing extreme weather occurrences. The post categorizes major types of extreme…

Save the planet, before it's too late - this is the call of ALLATRA, an international social movement fighting to prevent climate collapse.

Recent NASA research confirms that over half of the world's ocean has changed color from blue to green, signaling catastrophic changes in marine ecosystems.

What's happening? 

Climate change is causing an increase in phytoplankton, microorganisms that play a crucial role in oxygen production and atmospheric stabilization. However, their overgrowth threatens serious consequences.

The ocean turning green is an SOS signal! 

The greening of the ocean is not just a change in color, but evidence of an imbalance that can lead to oxygen depletion, toxic substance release, and destruction of marine ecosystems.

Think about it, over the past 20 years, color shifts from blue to green have occurred in more than 56% of the world's oceans. Changes are particularly noticeable in tropical regions near the equator.

Scientists claim that this slight greening of our oceans indicates the impact of climate change on underwater life.

The area that has changed color is larger than all the land on Earth.

ALLATRA: Bringing Science and People Together

ALLATRA understands that climate collapse is a global problem that requires global solutions. That's why the movement unites scientists, experts, and volunteers from all over the world to fight the climate crisis.

International Cooperation: A Step towards a Global Solution

Last month, the President of ALLATRA discussed climate change with Pope Francis, presenting him with the climate report 'On The Progression Of Climatic Disasters On Earth And Their Catastrophic Consequences'.

ALLATRA calls for united efforts!

Saving our planet is everyone's responsibility. 

ALLATRA believes in the power of human intellect and cooperation. Join the movement, spread the word, share your experience, participate in projects!

Together, we can change the world!

Please share it, write a comment, like, repost, and of course, give it a round of applause!!!

As the planet reels from unprecedented heatwaves, floods, wildfires and droughts, you may be feeling a rising sense of unease or even panic.

My own “Oh Shit!” moment came in early 2009, two years after I began writing on the science and geopolitics of climate change for Agence France-Presse.  I had reported on scores of peer-reviewed studies, talked to scientists, attended UN climate summits, and interviewed Pacific islanders whose tiny nations were sinking beneath the waves.  But the knee-buckling realisation that unchecked global warming would upend civilisation had not yet hit me in the gut and left me gasping for air.

The devastation shows how “the world is failing to invest in protecting the lives and livelihoods of those on the front line,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres in a video posted in the run-up to COP 27. He called the conference a critical “litmus test” for rebuilding trust between developed and developing countries, and for meaningful outcomes around loss and damage, reports Reuters.

Loss and damage finance would help cover the disproportionate destruction already facing countries like Pakistan—nations that are unable to adapt fast enough, unprepared for extreme weather, and have contributed very little to the problem based on their per capita emissions. But for more than 30 years, securing financing from more developed countries has been like pulling teeth during climate negotiations.

“Rich governments did not want to be held financially liable for the impacts of their historically high emissions,” Reuters explains. Glasgow’s COP 26 failed to make progress on loss and damage, except for a £1-million funding announcement from Scotland. A 2009 pledge for an annual US$100 billion in international climate finance was also left unmet.
