If land masses dry out, the Earth bulges in these locations, similar to a foam ball that was previously held under pressure (although in the case of the land, the pressure was exerted by water). This effect can be used to record the extent of a drought more precisely than ever before—using a method that is comparatively inexpensive & requires less effort

Extreme heat linked to carbon dioxide and methane from 111 companies cost the world economy $28 trillion from 1991 to 2020, with $9 trillion of those losses attributable to the five top-emitting firms, according to the study. The highest-emitting investor-owned firm the researchers examined may be responsible for $791 billion to $3.6 trillion in heat-related losses over that period, according to the study.

Research shows that following disasters, communities often demand visible action that appears decisive. Yet, these reactions can create more problems than they solve.

When high-impact weather events drive long-term policy decisions, we risk implementing changes that seem protective but actually increase the risk of future disasters or misallocate limited resources
