20–40-year sliding windows, reflecting a generational offset that generational amnesia is sufficient to explain the offsets in perception of environmental change. We argue that historical archives carry a generational imprint of perceptual bias, in which the severity of climate extremes is judged against recent lived experience rather than long-term climate variability https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-78922-x #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #pollution #environment #climate

Archival and palaeoenvironmental documentation of extreme climate events reveals generational amnesia in collective memory - Nature Communications

Collective memory shapes how societies respond to climate extremes, but its long-term biases are hard to observe. Here, the authors show that historical severity assessments of droughts and floods in northern China over 430 years are biased toward recent experience, consistent with an agent-based model of generational amnesia.

According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), insurers initiated just over two million homeowner policy non-renewals in the US in 2024, a 61% increase from the year before. Non-renewal rates rose in every NAIC region between 2018 and 2024, by between 96% and 216%, with the Southeast recording the sharpest increase https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/au/news/catastrophe/record-heat-in-2026-puts-the-insurance-industry-on-notice-596630.aspx #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#USA #US The vast majority of registered US voters (65 per cent) support transitioning the US economy from fossil fuels to 100 per cent clean energy by 2050. An even bigger share think carbon dioxide should be regulated as a pollutant (77 per cent of registered voters, including 56 per cent of conservative Republicans) (text available in “reading mode”) https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/11/09/opinion/us-climate-movement-victories-midterm-elections #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment

Gooier particles resist bacterial breakdown and can transport more than six times as much carbon to the depths, revealing an unexpected connection between ocean slime and Earth's climate https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/11/261105224558.htm #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

To meet electricity demand through 2030, the IEA calculates annual grid investment must increase by about 50% from today’s $400 billion per year. Any delays will substantially increase global emissions by prolonging reliance on fossil fuels, the IEA warns “Power grids have not been readied enough for the scaleup of renewable electricity generation” https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/life/greenpage/2026/11/08/upgrading-power-grids-to-accommodate-renewable-energy-is-a-key-issue-at-climate-talks #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
