Earth is hotter than it has been in 125 000 years, but deadly heatwaves, storms and floods amplified by global warming could be but a foretaste as planet-heating fossil fuels put a "liveable" future at risk. Greenhouse gas emissions must drop 43% by 2030 - and 84% by mid-century - to stay within the threshold. And yet, emissions have continued to rise. The world is very likely to overshoot the 1.5°C limit, even if temporarily. Every fraction of a degree counts. At 1.5°C of warming, 14% of terrestrial species will face an extinction risk. If temperatures rise to 2°C, 99% of warm-water coral reefs - home to a quarter of marine life - will perish, and staple food crops will decline.

Agri Wes-Kaap (AWK) en Santam is op soek na sy beste jongboer vir 2023. Die inskrywings is nou oop en daar is groot pryse op die spel. Volgens PF Theron, voorsitter van AWK se jongboerkomitee, is die kompetisie ʼn uitstekende leerskool, aangesien ʼn paneel van kenners waardevolle terugvoering gee, wat produsente dan weer op hul plase kan implementeer. Hy meen dit is ook ʼn geleentheid vir produsente om hul plase en besighede te bemark. Vanjaar se prys sluit die volgende in: R20 000 kontant Twee vliegtuigkaartjies met Lift airlines. ʼn Wegbreeknaweek vir twee by Gondwana-privaatwildreservaat. ʼn Bemarkingsvideo deur Lucentlands. La Motte-wyn.

Urban agriculture as a global phenomenon is widely promoted as a sustainable land use practice. On small plots and in big projects, using sophisticated technology or simple solutions, city dwellers around the world are producing food. Growing food in a city can improve local food security and express local culture,The eight farm types emerged from the way they use space (planted in soil or on/in buildings), the level of control over growing conditions (like ambient temperature, light, nutrients, water and air flow), and the use of other resources. The latter may be waste sources (such as waste water, bio-matter or waste heat), internet and connectivity networks, and human labour (such as the immediate community).

Across the continent, over half of Africa’s white and a third of its black rhino occurred on private land in 2021. An additional 5% of the continent’s black rhino were held on communal land in Namibia and South Africa. Despite having suffered considerable poaching losses, South Africa remains home to the largest number of white rhino (81%) on the continent, as well as around a third of the remaining black rhino.  READ MORE

Food price pressures that have beset Zimbabwe have persisted, giving the Southern African country the unenviable position of having the world’s worst inflation, despite some slight moderation, a recent report by the World Bank showed. The World Bank said that Zimbabwe’s CPI eased to 92,3% year-on-year (y/y) in February 2023, down from the prior month’s 229,8% y/y increase, and moving further away from the 18-month high of 285% registered in August 2022.

Chlorophyll, the most abundant pigment in plants, is responsible for the bright green color associated with juiced greens such as kale, celery, and cannabis. Chlorophyll has been studied for years for its role in health promotion. With its structure similar to that of hemoglobin in the blood, chlorophyll has plenty of other benefits including preventing DNA damage, promoting detoxification within the body, treating inflammation, and possibly helping prevent certain types of cancer.5 Compared with traditionally dried and cured cannabis flower, raw cannabis leaves and flower buds retain the most chlorophyll.

Currently, the Expropriation Bill is before the National Council of Provinces (a part of Parliament whose activities are doubly obscure to the public). Public comment on the matter closed last week, and it now remains for the bill to be processed through in this forum.
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
Die verslag van die VN se paneel oor klimaatsverandering skep ‘n sombere prentjie. Die verslag onderstreep die dringendheid om meer ambisieuse stappe te neem en wys dat, as ons nou optree, ons steeds ‘n leefbare volhoubare toekoms vir almal kan verseker.

Electric vehicle batteries are made up of combustible components like lithium, manganese, and polymers. When lithium is exposed to water, it becomes extremely reactive.

Brent ru-olie verhandel op die oomblik rondom 70 Amerikaanse dollar ‘n vat na die kommoditeit met amper 12 persent verlede week teruggesak het.

Die styging in die goudprys is hoofsaaklik weens kommer in die internasionale banksektor.
Die drang na alternatiewe energie bronne in die lig van die klimaat verandering wat plaasvind, het in Suid-Afrika posgevat onder die regeringslui wat hulle hoop vestig daarop dat dit ontwikkel kan word as een van die wêreld se grootste produsente van groen energie, bekend as Groen Waterstof.
Pres. Cyril Ramaphosa se afkondiging van ’n ramptoestand weens die kragkrisis en die aanstelling van dr. Kgosientsho Ramokgopa as minister van elektrisiteit is drastiese en nodige stappe, maar ek dink nie dit gaan tot vinnige oplossings lei nie.
