“I've squeezed as many bookcases in this tiny space as possible. Being surrounded by books and magazines makes me feel calm. It makes the room seem wrapped in a layer of protection. As if nothing or no one can get to me.”

Floods across Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia have killed more than 1,000 people in less than a week.
At least 502 people have been reported killed in Indonesia, 335 in Sri Lanka, 176 in Thailand and three in Malaysia.
Landslides on every corner in Indonesia’s North Sumatra.
In Sri Lanka, more than one million people have been affected by the floods, with at least 355 killed and 366 missing.
‘We have nothing left’: Sumatra family of 9 shelters under single tarp
“We have nothing left. Everything is gone,” Afrianti told Al Jazeera. “We have only the clothes on our backs. We couldn’t bring anything else.
“When it happened, the water came into the house. We were afraid so we fled. When we came back, the house was gone.”
Only a single wall remains from the family home, surrounded by debris.
#Pakistan is another country in Asia that has faced catastrophic flooding this year.
Since June, flooding across Pakistan has displaced more than four million people, killed at least 1,000, damaged more than 230,000 houses and washed away almost 23,000 livestock.
Climate change is seen as one of several factors contributing to the deluge. Pakistan ranks among the top 10 most climate-vulnerable nations, but it contributes less than 1 percent of global emissions.
Sitting on the fence is reserved for COP30 members.
The annual gathering of world leaders at COP30 in Brazil ended last week with an agreement that failed to mention phasing out fossil fuels, the primary driver of climate change, which, experts say, has increased the intensity and frequency of floods and other weather-related events globally.
“The urgency of lived reality in the world, and the pace of decision-making at these conferences do not match.”

La Nina and warmer oceans heightening extreme flooding in Asia
Experts say devastating flooding in Asia can be attributed, in part, to prolonged La Nina cycles.
#LaNina is a natural climate pattern in which the Pacific Ocean becomes cooler than usual in the east and warmer in the west, causing winds to strengthen and push more warm water and moisture towards Asia.
This pattern loads the atmosphere with extra moisture over Asia that often leads to heavier rainfall and higher flood risk.

This shift changes the weather around the world, especially by making rain-heavy storms and monsoons stronger in countries such as Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines.
Warmer oceans fuel stronger rain bands around tropical cyclones, and a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture and releases it in more intense bursts.

Policymakers failing to deal with extreme weather impact
Shweta Narayan, campaign lead at Global Climate and Health Alliance, a consortium of health professionals and civil society organisations around the world, says evidence gathered by the group “shows that these extreme weather events are getting even more intense, more dangerous, and more extreme because of the climate crisis”.

With the rise in global warming, storms have become intense, and warming oceans have made hurricanes relatively stagnant, leading to intense rainfall and flooding,
Referring to this week’s widespread devastation across the Asian countries, Narayan said the governments and cities have “failed to prepare at all to deal with the consequences of the extreme weather events.”

“There is a massive disconnect between the reality and the sheer deliberate ignorance among policymakers,” she said. “And the price is being paid by people,” added Narayan, warning policymakers: “Your inaction is pushing huge populations into poverty.”

Among the moons in our solar system, Earth's moon is special.
It's very large relative to Earth, and its presence has helped Earth remain habitable. It stabilizes our planet's axial tilt, which helps create a climate and seasons more amenable to life. It also generates the oceans' tides, which helps coastal regions be the biodiverse and rich regions they are.

Indonesian government to investigate origin of washed-up logs
Throughout the catastrophic flooding that rocked Sumatra over the weekend, residents noted a common phenomenon – huge piles of logs that crowded on shorelines, rumbled through floodwaters, and piled up where homes once stood.
From 2001 to 2024, #Indonesia lost 320,000sq km (123,553sq miles) of tree cover, according to watchdog Global Forest Watch, equivalent to about 20 percent of its total tree cover area in 2000.

How Intolerance and Extremism Happen:
Understanding our Deepest Divides
Demagogues and dictators (a subset of demagogues) frequently lead extremist movements. They often enjoy widespread popular support. One reason is that they claim to (or do) solve a problem that appears unsolvable. If problems don’t exist, ruthless dictators or demagogues create them so that they can position themselves as the only viable solution.

A World of Many Worlds is a search into the possibilities that may emerge from conversations between indigenous collectives and the study of science's philosophical production. The contributors explore how divergent knowledges and practices make worlds.
"Many words are walked in the world. Many worlds are made. Many worlds make us. There are words and worlds that are lies and injustices. There are words and worlds that are truthful and true. In the world of the powerful there is room only for the big and their helpers. In the world we want, everybody fits. The world we want is a world in which many worlds fit."
