The world cannot adapt its way out of the climate crisis, and counting on adaptation to limit damage is no substitute for urgently cutting greenhouse gases, a leading climate scientist has warned.

Katharine Hayhoe, chief scientist for the Nature Conservancy in the US and professor at Texas Tech University, said the world was heading for dangers unseen in the 10,000 years of human civilisation, andefforts to make the world more resilientwere needed but by themselves could not soften the impact enough.

“People do not understand the magnitude of what is going on,” she said. “This will be greater than anything…

• WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the sudden appearance of monkeypox in multiple countries across the world indicates the virus has been spreading undetected for some time.
• It’s unclear how long the virus has been spreading undetected outside Africa, according to Dr. Rosamund Lewis, the WHO’s monkeypox technical lead.
• “We don’t really know whether it’s too late to contain. What the WHO and all member states are trying to do is prevent onward spread,” Lewis said.

President Biden’s announcement that the U.S. is sending “more advancedrocket systems and munitions” to Ukraineis a move that is “adding fuel to the fire,” Russia warned Wednesday.

It’s the 11th package approved so far and will include helicopters, tactical vehicles, Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger antiaircraft missiles, and other advanced weapons.

The San Francisco district attorney’s office filed a lawsuit last week against a man accused of trapping nearly 300 Dungeness crabs in protected waters.

Tam Van Tran, a licensed commercial fisherman, allegedly set more than 90 traps in protected waters near the Farallon Islands off the coast of San Francisco, officials said. The D.A.’s office seeks nearly $1 million in fines against Tran.

Prosecutors called the illegal fishing “the most egregious case of unlawful crabbing activity in San Francisco’s history, as well as the largest incident of documented unlawful commercial crabbing in any Marine Protected Area in California.”

The Farallon Islands are part of a state marine reserve, the most protected category of waters under the state’s Marine Life Protection Act, through which “the taking of any marine resource is prohibited by law,” prosecutors wrote in the complaint filed…
