Earth has lost enough soil moisture in the last 40 years to change the planet’s spin and shift the location of the North Pole, according to a new study published today in Science that tracks how human activities have disrupted the global water cycle.

Researchers comparing satellite measurements of the planet’s water with the wobble in its rotation identified a steady loss of global soil moisture.

Yesterday Environmental Agency report, concluded water companies tipped sewage into rivers and coastal waters for a record 3.6mn hours last year.

Moreover, of those outlets where spills happened more than 30 times in 2024, less than half were subject of maintenance & repair during the year.

The best performing firm was United Utilities that reduced its annual spillages by over 30% last year; the worst: Anglian, whose rose by her 60%, while Thames Water's rose by 50%!

Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV) are burning forests surrounding the Upper Yarra Reservoir in the headwaters of #Melbourne water catchment, creating possible toxic runoff (fire accelerants, ash, top soil & fire retardants) straight into the water…The burn map below shows fire right up to the water's edge.

What exactly are they 'protecting' by burning around water? There are no towns or residences nearby.

This is an interesting article, worth a full read, on an aspect of Climate not always talked about in much detail.

«… The drying out of soil “increases the severity and frequency” of major droughts …, explains Dr Benjamin Cook, an … Earth system scientist … “Droughts are one of the most impactful, expensive natural hazards out there, because they are typically persistent and long lasting. Everything needs water – ecosystems need water, agriculture needs water. People need water. If you don’t have enough water – you’re in trouble.” … The study points to two factors driving gradual depletion of soil moisture over the last quarter century: fluctuations to rainfall patterns and increasing “evaporative demand”. … the atmosphere’s “thirst” for water …»

When I read about these things, I think of the danger to the food system and human society. It saddens me beyond measure that we've got a society run by capitalists who, like locusts, just want to efficiently consume every last resource the planet has to offer with no apparent regard for the future.

The article also mentions it will be expensive, though. Does that matter to any of you capitalists? I know risk of societal collapse is not a worthy concern to you, just something to monetize. But it could affect prices along the way. Is THAT perhaps a concern, at least? Sigh.
