The Trump administration took another step to make it harder to find major, legally mandated scientific assessments of how climate change is endangering the nation and its people. The White House said NASA would house the reports to comply with a 1990 law that requires the reports, which the space agency said it planned to do. But now NASA said that it aborted those plans.

Climate change is silently sapping the nutrients from our food. A pioneering study finds that rising CO2 and higher temperatures are not only reshaping how crops grow, but are also degrading the crops nutritional value especially in vital leafy greens like kale and spinach. 

This shift could spell trouble for global health. Researchers warn that while crops may grow faster, they may also become less nourishing, with fewer minerals, proteins, and antioxidants raising concerns about obesity, weakened immunity, and chronic diseases.

 Both Judaism and Islam teach their followers to take care of the earth. Muslims and Jews also believe that humans should act as guardians and trustees (stewardship and khalifah) of our planet, and that they will be held accountable by God for their actions.

More than 90% of the world’s population is projected to face increased risks from the compound impacts of extreme heat and drought, potentially widening social inequalities as well as undermining the natural world’s ability to reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere—according to a study from Oxford’s School of Geography. 

And communities around the world emitted more carbon dioxide in 2024 than in any other year on records dating to 1900, a result of air travel rebounding from the Covid 19 pandemic.

Warming is projected to intensify these hazards ten-fold globally under the highest emission pathway, says the report, published in Nature Sustainability. In the wake of record temperatures in 2024, from London to Shanghai, continuing rising temperatures are projected around the world. 

So if humans do not reduce man made carbon magnification, not even the coming of Mahdi and Messiah may be able to overcome human unwillingness to reverse global warming and human pollution. God demands that humans fulfill their God given responsibilities.

The total economic losses caused by natural disasters hit an estimated $72 billion in the first half of 2022, fueled by storms and floods, Swiss reinsurance giant Swiss Re estimated. And according to a 2020 Oxfam report, the richest 10% of the global population produce half of the Earth’s fossil-fuel emissions, while the poorest half contribute a mere........
