Rivers around the world are quietly running out of oxygen, and climate change is emerging as the main culprit. A sweeping global analysis of more than 21,000 river systems found that nearly 80% have been steadily losing dissolved oxygen over the past four decades, threatening fish, biodiversity, and the overall health of freshwater ecosystems. Tropical rivers are being hit the hardest, even more than rivers in rapidly warming polar regions.
#WaterIsLife #Rivers
1/2
The past eleven years have been the hottest on record.
Every fraction of a degree brings greater harm – especially to the most vulnerable.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, warning signals are everywhere.
This is the moment to act for our environment & for our future.
🇺🇸 The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to invoke the War Powers Act and order an end to President Trump’s unauthorized military operations against Iran, passing the measure 215-208 in a bipartisan rebuke of the Trump admin’s handling of the three-month-old war.
🔸Four Republicans broke with party leadership to join Democrats in support of the resolution: Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett, and Warren Davidson. (AP News)
🔸Sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks, the measure directs the president to withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress formally declares war or passes a specific authorization for the conflict.
🔸The vote comes after House Republican leaders postponed an earlier vote before Memorial Day amid concerns they lacked the support to defeat it. The Senate has already advanced its own version, signaling growing bipartisan pressure on the White House to seek congressional approval for the conflict.
We are expanding our operations in Greater Los Angeles. 🇺🇸
Last week, we announced our agreement with county and city leaders in Los Angeles to help intercept an estimated 410–628 tons of plastic from entering the Pacific Ocean each year.
Our next Interceptor deployments are planned in Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers.
Some highlights from last week's event ⬇️
Tres familias asesinadas solo el martes por misiles israelíes en el sur de Líbano. 10 miembros de la familia Najdi: la mamá Zahra, el papá Alaa, y sus hijos Malika, Mariya y Mohamed. Reporte desde Deir Qanoun 👇🏼
TOTAL IMPUNIDAD
El sionismo en un acto de piratería dispara a activistas humanitarios y totalmente desarmados. En estos barcos hay comida, medicamentos y útiles escolares, terroristas son quienes secuestran y disparan en aguas internacionales.
Movilicemos en el mundo por los activistas que hoy se encuentran secuestrados por el Estado genocida de Israel, por la liberación de todos los prisioneros palestinos y por el fin del genocidio!
‼️ Hoy a las 17hs movilizamos a Cancillería Argentina.
Más de 40 muertos en Líbano el fin de semana. Este domingo con ataques también a servicios de rescate.
Reporte desde Sidón, donde Israel acelera la limpieza étnica del sur de Líbano pese al alto al fuego aniquilando a familias completas 👇🏼
It’s incredible how often the Pareto principle shows up in the real world.
In our aerial survey data, 80% of the plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch was concentrated in just ~20% of the surveyed surface area.
(This, btw, is why we're focusing on targeting the hotspots)
This is how our operations are positively impacting communities affected by plastic pollution in Jakarta, Indonesia.

When the AMOC comes back into the mainstream, the coverage will focus on:
- Harsh winters over Europe.
- Agricultural disruption.
- Sea level rise along the US East Coast.
All true. All incomplete.
The more important story sits near Antarctica.
