#Japan is releasing water from #Fukushima into the ocean after treatment. There are popular protests and formal objections from #China and #SouthKorea.

#Nuclear waste is no joke, and there is no perfect solution. But to the best of my understanding, this is a safe and possibly the best solution. In fact, there is an argument for releasing the water faster than Japan is planning. Keeping ever growing amounts of radioactive water for decades is not a good idea. This is considered leaving the problem for future generations, something the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) advises against.

So although "nuclear power plants worldwide have routinely discharged water containing tritium for over 60 years without harm to people or the environment, most at higher levels than planned for Fukushima," popular opinion says otherwise, with China banning Japanese seafood.

The White House will bring together Japan and South Korea, two critical allies in the Pacific, on Friday for an unprecedented summit that could chart a course for confronting some of the three nations' most pressing security challenges.

The “new abnormal”: The rise of extreme #flooding briefly explained

#ClimateChange is contributing to heavier precipitation, a major factor in flooding.

By Li Zhouli@vox.com Updated Jul 17, 2023, 9:41am EDT

"This weekend, the #Philadelphia suburbs were hit with heavy flash flooding that inundated roads and killed five people. Earlier this month, #Vermont also experienced heavy flooding that trapped people in their homes and damaged roads and buildings. Nationally, tens of millions of people were under a flood watch on Sunday, while globally, countries including #SouthKorea, #Pakistan, and #Turkey have seen destructive flooding that has displaced millions of people and forced evacuations in the last year.

"As the Earth gets warmer, the atmosphere is able to hold more water, leading to heavier precipitation when it rains, and a greater likelihood of flooding as a result. A 1 degree Centigrade increase in the atmosphere’s temperature corresponds to a 7 percent increase in water vapor that it’s able to hold, according to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. And estimates suggest global temperatures could breach a 1.5 degree Celsius increase threshold sometime in the 2030s, meaning much more rain to come."

This has completely changes how local communities & non-profits do supply chain advocacy. On the ground in #Indonesia & #Malaysia, I was regularly told that getting data from Chinese buyers, or tracing Chinese supply chains, was far more difficult than those destined for the #US #Europe #Japan or #SouthKorea.

Here was the concern & the focus of my in-depth piece for #TheWireChina – the growth in Chinese imports of key tropical commodities & their links to deforestation. https://www.thewirechina.com/2023/07/16/zombie-supply-chains/

What we must ditch: complacency.
That tunnel in #Cheongju, #SouthKorea was protected from water by an embankment on the nearby river.

“There did not seem to be particular issues until the breach of the embankment … and due to the rapid influx of water, we did not have enough time to stop the cars from entering.”

That's the kind of #BlackSwan event cities need to explore.

Convenience store in #SEA is one of the unknown but great elements for foreigners visiting them. For sure, there are similar stores by purpose most everywhere, but they never (at least in modern times) had such vibes and coziness.

What makes South Korea’s fertility rate decline more astonishing is the relatively short period in which it has occurred.

And now South Korea is the only country in the world to register a fertility rate of less than one child per woman, although others – Ukraine, China and Spain – are close.
