The researchers were surprised to find that the loss of #water on the continents has grown so dramatically that it has become one of the largest causes of global #SeaLevel rise.
Moisture lost to evaporation and drought, plus runoff from pumped groundwater, now outpaces the melting of glaciers and the ice sheets of either Antarctica or Greenland as the largest contributor of water to the oceans.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat that’s OK.
We just won’t buy anything
I heard the authors of this book about #depopulation interviewed recently on a podcast, and something seemed off about what they were saying. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but @davekarpf nails it.
It would be nice if Deep Thinkers would stop bemoaning that people aren't having "enough" kids and start implementing the obvious policies which would improve people's lives here and now and make them want to have more kids.
Pronatalism is clownish.

Join us at #AOM2025 for our PDW Organising Degrowth for an Equitable World (Sun, July 27, 08:30, Bella Center A1-m2). We explore how to organize for well-being—human and non-human—beyond the growth paradigm. With Banerjee, Jermier, Lyon, Olaison, Perey, and myself. Let’s rethink organizing in planetary crisis.
Who owns the firm—and who (or what) should? At #AOM2025, the PDW on alternative ownership raised urgent questions. What if we moved beyond ownership as control and toward governance as stewardship? In my work with Robert Perey, we often ask: if nature is a stakeholder, shouldn’t she be included in ownership too? Post-capitalism may already be here—if we allow accumulation to mean regeneration, and expansion to mean care.

If you want to grow a movement, you can’t have purity tests. I hope the #degrowth movement can avoid this.
