India is a global warming ‘hole,’ and scientists aren’t sure why. Despite its extreme heat waves, the country’s decadeslong warming trend amounts to half the global average. #India #climatechange #water #heat #aridification https://www.science.org/content/article/india-global-warming-hole-scientists-arent-sure

Identifying the multiple drivers of cactus diversification https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-51666-2
"ancient #aridification – an increase in dryness seen in several American regions – cannot fully explain cactus #evolution. Some big periods of diversification seem to have happened more recently than the transition to a drier #climate, for example, and new species seem to have emerged more quickly in places that aren’t as dry."

#California wildfire pollution killed 52,000 in a decade: study
...They found at least 52,480 premature deaths could be attributed to this specific #pollution. The cost of treating people affected by the pollutants was calculated at $432 billion.
"The importance of #wildfire management will only grow in the coming decades as #aridification intensifies with #ClimateChange and more regions are susceptible to fires".
