Which cities will still be livable in a world altered by climate change? These northern U.S. communities may be well-placed to meet the needs of an influx of climate migrants as deadly wildfires, flash floods, record heat, and damaging hurricanes increasingly affect day-to-day life in the U.S. Learn more about what makes these cities “climate havens” at the link in bio.

There’s no such thing as a climate refuge in a country who’s government doesn’t not only “not believe in climate change” but actively seeks to encourage it due to their greed, ignorance, and spitefulness.

When the politicians stop buying waterfront properties then start worrying about climate change

stop overdevelopment - in Florida new construction homes sit empty while more land is cleared to build more houses Maybe that would help “climate change”

Livable for how long? It's absurd to think you can escape global ecological collapse by moving. A much slower natural release of greenhouse gas millions of years ago resulted in the extinction of 90% of all life on earth. Moving to Minnesota is not going to save you or your kids from that. You will only be delaying the inevitable. The people who are destroying or planet need to be confronted and defeated that is the only way

Nat Geo has long been known as a global magazine. With ‘world’ in its branding and reputation, I expected broader international coverage. So I was surprised to open this article and find it focused solely on U.S. cities.

We used to believe Asheville, NC was a climate refuge too… We’re all screwed :(

Wasn't Asheville, NC a "climate haven," until it catastrophically wasn't?

That’s what y’all said about Western NC too… and that ended not so well.

I was so incredibly lucky to get a bit of low morning fog during the pre-sunrise blue hour when I visited Omø to photograph the lighthouse. I absolutely love the calmness in these photos, which of course makes them less likely to be liked on Instagram, but some of them are definitely gonna make it to my favourite photos of the year book. If you wanna learn more about light, golden hour, blue hour, midday light, night light and much more be sure to get my ebook ‘Landscape Light’ it’s easy to read and has tons of examples and EXIF data. There’s a link in my bio. Happy learning 🤓

Hyères is a beautiful French medieval town perched above the sea and almost midway between Marseille to the west and St.-Tropez to the east. For the writer Roslyn Sulcas, one visit turned into a second — and perhaps more. See where she visited, and read more about Hyères, at the link in our bio. Photos by @violettefranchi 

PENDAKI GUNUNG INDONESIA

Hujan deras di Gunung Kinabalu, Sabah, menyebabkan aliran air deras di jalur pendakian Kamis (10/7). Pendaki harus berhati-hati saat menuruni jalur yang mirip air terjun, seperti terlihat di video yang menunjukkan pendaki mengikuti instruktur dengan bantuan tali. Semoga perjalanan mereka lancar.

Institut Kedokteran Forensik Rio de Janeiro mengumumkan hasil autopsi Juliana Marins, Kamis (10/7/2025). Dilansir dari kompascom, sebab kematian adalah pendarahan internal dan trauma akibat jatuh dari ketinggian, termasuk patah tulang panggul, dada, dan tengkorak, yang membuatnya tidak bisa bergerak atau meminta bantuan. Juliana meninggal 10-15 menit setelah cedera. Autopsi ulang dilakukan 2 Juli 2025 oleh dua ahli forensik, didampingi anggota Kepolisian Federal dan keluarga. Pengawetan jenazah awalnya menghambat analisis, tetapi laporan menunjukkan kemungkinan penderitaan fisik dan psikologis sebelum kematian. #pendaki #pendakigunung #pendakicantik #petualang #gunungrinjani

Sekali again, mimin saranin yang mau naik gunung tolong bgt persiapkan dengan matang ya! Daripada nyusahin timsar, kalau males persiapan ya mending ke mall aja!!!!🔥 Udara kering dari Australia, monsun Australia yg sifatnya lebih kering ngebuat suhu udara malam jadi lebih dingin, dan kalau pas siang pun gak terasa panas kayak bulan-bulan lain yang memiliki kandungan uap air lebih tinggi, sehingga panasnya kerasa lebih panas. #pendakicantik #pendakigunung #udaradingin #indonesiadingin #jawa #pendakiindonesia #pendakicantik #petualanghebat
