Okjökull, better known as 'Ok,' Glacier has melted, thanks to climate change and scientists warn that this is just the beginning of a grim future for Iceland's ~400 glaciers—and us if climate patterns continue melting ice caps and glaciers.An Icelandic author has written a eulogy on a memorial plaque for the lost glacier and plan to place it atop Okjökull Mountain on August 18, 2019.
The latest climate change victim is Okjökull, more commonly known as 'Ok,' an Icelandic glacier which scientists from Iceland and Rice University in Houston will memorialize in August with a heartbreaking plaque reading: "Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it.

Installing solar panels on rooftops? UNDER WATER How rising waters cost us all. Until now, scientists have often framed climate change in terms of the future.
But a landmark report issued by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on Monday, October 8 states that without "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society,” our world will exceed 1.5°C much sooner than we think—as early as a dozen years—which will increase the likelihood of floods, heatwaves and droughts. As higher temperatures lead to sea level rise and more extreme rainfall, more and more people around the globe are experiencing catastrophic floods. Orb Media looked at seven locations around the globe that have already seen one of the consequences of global warming: flooding as a result of sea level rise and extreme precipitation.
Whether it’s a storm surge in São Paulo, a flash flood in Toronto or an airport underwater in India, these floods all have one thing in common: they cost a lot. Click here for our feature story.

Wow! Yellowstone Geyser Erupted and Sent 90 YEARS Worth of Trash Flying Because People Are the Worst - One Green Planet.
Last month, The Ear Spring geyser in Yellowstone National Park erupted, causing the biggest blow in over 60 years … but what came out of the geyser, apart from steam and hot water, is shocking. On September 15, 2018, the small geyser, which up until then had been dormant for decades, essentially rained garbage. Ear Spring emptied itself of all the trash that had been thrown into it throughout the period of its dormancy (about 90 years?!) By senseless tourists visiting Yellowstone – some of the pieces of litter collected date back as far as to the 1930s, TreeHugger reports.
The park staff shared a photo of an assortment of trash that had been spewed out by the geyser. Another Reason to Ditch Plastic! Study Finds Half of Baby Sea Turtles Die From Consuming Plastic - One Green Planet. A recent study by researchers from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has discovered a new alarming fact about the direct impact of plastic pollution on wildlife.
In the study, published in the journal Nature, scientists examined data from almost 1,000 dead turtles and discovered that those youngest appeared to be the most vulnerable to plastic pollution. Plastic was found in the stomachs of over half of the baby post-hatchlings and around a quarter of slightly older young turtles. In comparison, among adults, around 15 percent were found to be affected. Meat-free diets could cut our 'water footprint' in half, say scientists. Three thousand litres of water – that is the amount needed to produce the food each British person eats every day.
This is according to a new study into the “water footprint” of diets in Western Europe, conducted by the European Commission and published in Nature Sustainability. The term “carbon footprint”, which accounts for all the emissions of CO₂ associated with the manufacture or production of an item, has become commonplace in recent years. Similarly, the “water footprint” of food can be calculated using information on the amount of water required during cultivation and processing. The authors of this new study, led by EC scientist Davy Vanham, first gathered existing data on the water footprint of various foods and drinks.

Groundbreaking 'spinning' wind turbine wins UK Dyson award. A ‘spinning’ turbine which can capture wind travelling in any direction and could transform how consumers generate electricity has won its two student designers a prestigious James Dyson award. Nicolas Orellana, 36, and Yaseen Noorani, 24, both MSc students at Lancaster University, have created the O-Wind Turbine which – in a technological first – takes advantage of both horizontal and vertical winds without requiring steering. Conventional wind turbines only capture wind travelling in one direction, and are notoriously inefficient in cities where wind trapped between buildings becomes unpredictable, making the turbines unusable.
In 2015 the controversial “Walkie Talkie” skyscraper on London’s Fenchurch Street was thought responsible for creating a wind tunnel which knocked down shop signs and even toppled pedestrians. Using a simple geometric shape, O-Wind Turbine is designed to make the most of multi-directional wind, generating energy even on the windiest of days. A Greener Festival.
