Thank you for always staying with me throughout my journey. Thank you for supporting me in my ups and downs throughout my struggles in the University of the Philippines-Visayas.

I love you always @jerrythemouxx 🌸💗

Serve the people! Hanggang sa tagumpay!

For June–August 2026, WMO forecasts indicate significant shifts in rainfall patterns—a classic atmospheric response to the developing Pacific El Niño.

drove past quirino avenue and saw the "seedlings" that they've replaced with the old trees.

tanginang yan ang sloppy, it looked so barren and so abandoned. Tinaniman lang nila and then iniwanan na agad. Mema gawa lang para may mapakita lang na may "malasakit' sila lul

HUGE EXPANSION NORTH ATLANTIC 'COLD BLOB'
The cold blob is the result of AMOC slowing
Could this indicate an increase of AMOC slowing?
Could Pacific Ocean El Niño heat have drained heat from the North Atlantic? (Climate Reabalyzer, 1 June 2026
It's larger by Copernicus on 3 June

Actualmente tenemos dos anomalías que llaman la atención a nivel mundial en la temperatura superficial del mar. Una es el incipiente evento de ElNiño , el cual se prevé que sea fuerte a muy fuerte, en el que el Pacífico tropical se calienta bastante por encima de su media. Las consecuencias son mundiales, especialmente en el continente americano y asiático. Sequías , inundaciones, cambios en el patrón habitual de lluvias.

La otra anomalía es la burbuja fría del Atlántico Norte o Cold Blob, el cuál se relaciona últimamente según estudios a una ralentización de la Amoc (corriente termohalina) lo peculiar es que lleva unas semanas ocupando una gran extensión. Cuando la amoc se ralentiza (que no colapsar) deja de llegar calor húmedo a Europa occidental, los inviernos son bastante más duros, se crea un área de altas presiones en el Atlántico Norte , sube el nivel del mar en la costa este de América del Norte, disminuyen las lluvias en el norte de Europa, entre otras consecuencias.

Hay múltiples estudios que hablan de un posible colapso de Amoc en unas decenas de años.
¿Estamos viendo el inicio?

The DENR must stop treating the environment as a disposable commodity that can easily be replaced. What we need is a government that genuinely protects the environment, not one that bends environmental laws to accommodate corporate greenwashing.

I don’t understand how such a moronic degenerate piece of human filth has the power to decide the fate of an entire species of one of earth’s beautiful creations just so the pedophile class can have more money to kill children in the middle east

Good news for mangrove forests! 🌳

Mangrove forests, which had been shrinking for years, began to expand in 2010. A new study using Landsat observations reveals forest gains accelerated in the past decade and have nearly offset earlier losses.

🔴Red Alert 🔴

Seasonal forecast model shows Super El Niño [turbocharged by climate change] with +3°C in key region that fuels extreme weather around world.

Scientists see potential for strongest El Niño in 150-years. Humanity must prepare for unprecedented extreme weather.

[IUCN @IUCN]

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we reaffirm the urgent need for ambitious climate action grounded in science and cooperation.

Across the world, people, ecosystems and species alike are already experiencing the impacts of climate change — but nature also remains one of our greatest allies in building a more resilient future.

At IUCN, we are working with our Members, partners and communities around the globe to advance solutions that protect biodiversity while supporting people and climate resilience.

The erect spiderling is often clustered together with Tridax daisies, Philippine spinach, and other roadside mallows such as Sida and Malvastrum.

[jek📈✒️ @jekoranium]

Ever encountered this roadside weed? Meet Boerhavia erecta (the Erect spiderling), a relative of the Bougainvillea. Belonging to the Nyctaginaceae family, B. erecta is characterized by its pinkish white flowers and is considered as a pioneering species in disturbed habitats.

𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗘𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 🌏

The planet is sending signals too hot to ignore.

Rising seas, raging wildfires, heatwaves, and melting glaciers. On World Environment Day 2026, ScienceKonek calls upon everyone, from governments and businesses to academia and civil society, to act #NowForClimate and focus on the urgent signals the Earth is sending. We’ve heard of the news. We know our climate story. What signals do we choose to send back?

Anchored on the theme “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future,” ScienceKonek joins the worldwide campaign to educate the people on how climate impacts are increasing, but so are the solutions. More importantly, however, is the awareness that such solutions can only materialize when countries actively commit to keep their end of the bargain.

As the world’s second-largest greenhouse gas emitter and the largest historical emitter, the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement deals a blow to global efforts to keep global warming well below 2°C and within the 1.5 °C target cap. When a major superpower pulls out of such a critical agreement, it creates a free rider problem: what keeps other nations from following suit?

In the Philippines, the effect of the climate crisis has been a lived reality in the form of intense typhoons made worse by systemic failure. Year after year, we experience heavy rainfall, stronger winds, and devastation not just caused by nature’s force, but more so because of fragile flood control systems unable to withstand the reality of a warming world.

What should have been adaptation has too often become exposure—by clear cases that we see on television of substandard, unfinished, and corrupt flood control projects that drain public funds while communities continue to sink under water. We demand for accountability, transparency, and a break from systems that repeatedly fail the very people they are meant to protect.

Nature is a frontline climate solution and delivers multiple wins. Healthy ecosystems absorb carbon, regulate water, and protect communities. Forests, oceans, wetlands and soils are critical carbon sinks. Thus, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) must uphold its true mandate: safeguard this megadiverse nation against rapid biodiversity loss. This requires shifting away from 'out of hand' tree planting initiatives, which are doomed to fail without rigorous species-site assessment and prioritization of native trees, instead of wasting public funds and opportunity.

If we listen closer, another signal is rising. Solar panels stretch across rooftops. Wind turbines line the horizon. Cities are being redesigned for people. Forests are being replanted. Climate solutions are taking root in every corner of the planet, but their full realization depends on a shared and cross-cutting response.

This World Environment Day, ScienceKonek demands that the signal we send back be one of unwavering action, radical transparency, and the resolute political will to secure a habitable future. #WorldEnvironmentDay
