He told me climate change is causing a massive resurgence of Dengue fever in countries like <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Bangladesh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bangladesh</span></a> and also several African countries. Dengue fever is very serious, often deadly. But we know very little about this here in Global North because it doesn’t affect us (though recently a few cases even in France) </p><p><a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250624-deadly-dengue-fever-impacts-climate-hit-bangladesh-coast" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">france24.com/en/live-news/2025</span><span class="invisible">0624-deadly-dengue-fever-impacts-climate-hit-bangladesh-coast</span></a></p>

not ch1c<p>It has been so hot and humid here even at this high-elevation (for the area) land project in breezy, forested and once cool-summered northern New England that most work outside has stopped: too dangerous. I’m rethinking all our future plantings and systems and practices so that as much maintenance as possible can happen in the cold half of the year (as long as that lasts). Also planning to fix up a corner of the basement as a heat shelter before next summer, with as many bunks as we can squeeze in.</p><p>Good times, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateDiary</span></a>.

LokeMani<p>Climate change is a bitch. With the increasing heat and this past extremely mild winter, our garden is overrun with snails. When we moved out here there were barely any snails at all. The occasional woodland snail, sure, but the slow worms and birds made quick work of them. </p><p>Year after year they grew in numbers. Slowly. Manageable. We did our best to work with nature to tackle the problem and went out hand-picking invasive species. Until suddenly this summer they are on every surface, on the basement door and on the walls inside the sun room. Everything is covered in slimy trails. Even the chard, which always stood tall and proud is struggling under the onslaught of hungry snails. And we need to eat too.</p><p>I have resigned myself to purchasing snail poison for the first time and I am not happy about it. The predators have simply not kept up with this boom in the snail population. And neither can we or our neighbours. Not even close. The traps only do so much and they tend to lure even more snails out of the woods. Hand picking is ongoing but appears increasingly futile. So collectively and begrudgingly it has been decided to also use less eco-friendly measures to try and stem the tide. Salt barriers and snail pellets.</p><p>I am crossing my fingers for a proper cold winter to kill snails and ticks and everything else that has suddenly become such a huge pest. Because poison cannot be a solution if this goes on. It simply can't.</p><p><a href="https://homestead.social/tags/snails" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>snails</span></a> <a href="https://homestead.social/tags/ClimateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateDiary</span></a> <a href="https://homestead.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://homestead.social/tags/homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homestead</span></a></p>
