"기후 변화의 숨겨진 대가: 해결되지 않은 실종과 끝없는 슬픔"

요약: 이 글에서는 기후 변화가 자연재해와 이주 갈등을 통해 어떻게 실종으로 이어지고 있는지에 대해 설명합니다. 실종자 가족이 직면한 어려움과 이 증가하는 문제를 해결하기 위한 자원, 데이터, 국가 간 협력, 비상 대비의 필요성을 강조합니다.

기후 변화가 심화됨에 따라 미해결 실종의 놀라운 증가를 포함한 파괴적인 결과도 증가하고 있습니다. 전 세계는 실종된 가족을 필사적으로 찾아 헤매는 가족들의 고통을 목격하고 있습니다. 이 냉정한 조사에서 우리는 기후 변화의 숨겨진 피해와 이 위기를 해결해야 하는 당위성에 대해 자세히 살펴봅니다.

#기후변화, #재난대응, #실종자, #기후영향, #글로벌책임, #비상대비, #기후이주, #한없는슬픔, #담비키퍼, #그린키퍼, #꿀벌마을이야기, #기후이야기, #환경이야기, #탄소이야기

지난 8월 하와이 라하이나에서 발생한 산불과 같은 재난의 비극적인 여파는 기후 변화로 인해 우리가 지불해야 하는 대가를 암울하게 상기시켜 줍니다. 불길에 휩싸인 시신들, 잿더미로 변한 시신들, 험난한 태평양에서 길을 잃은 시신들(97명 사망 확인, 22명 여전히 실종). 이러한 실종 패턴은 기후로 인한 재앙의 여파로 비극적으로 익숙한 모습입니다.

모로코의 필사적인 지진 생존자 수색부터 폭우로 댐이 무너져 수천 명이 실종된 리비아의 사투까지, 기후 변화는 치명적인 기상 이변을 더욱 가속화하여 가족들을 불확실성의 고통 속에 몰아넣고 있습니다. 실종은 끝이 보이지 않는 지옥과 같은 독특한 형태의 고통이 됩니다. 부유한 국가는 재난 피해자에 신속하게 대응할 수 있지만, 이미 기후 영향에 취약한 가난한 국가는 복구 및 신원 확인을 위한 자원이 부족한 경우가 많습니다.

긴급한 행동의 필요성

기후 변화는 또한 이주와 분쟁을 통해 실종을 유발합니다. 영양실조와 기근으로 이어지는 기온 상승은 위험한 지형을 가로지르는 절망적인 여정을 부추깁니다. 사막을 횡단하다 열사병으로 목숨을 잃고, 금속 선적 컨테이너가 질식하는 무덤이 되기도 합니다. 수만 명이 생존을 위해 사라집니다.

이 비극을 더욱 악화시키는 것은 지원의 부재입니다. 실종자 가족은 의지할 정부 기관이 부족하고, 국가는 실종된 영혼을 위해 자원을 할당하지 않으려 합니다. 시신을 묻을 곳이 없어 슬픔에 잠긴 유족들은 장례를 치르지 못하고 법적인 문제도 발생하고 있습니다. 실종이라는 상처는 여전히 열려 있으며, 끊임없는 고통으로 남아 있습니다.

자원과 데이터에 대한 요청

이 위기를 해결하려면 더 많은 자원과 더 나은 데이터가 필요합니다. 현재 우리는 기후 변화로 인한 실종의 규모조차 파악하지 못하고 있습니다. 각국 정부가 효과적으로 대응하기 위해서는 실종의 특성을 이해하는 것이 중요합니다. 하지만 기후변화에 가장 취약한 사람들은 종종 그 틈새를 비집고 들어가기 때문에 정부가 이를 방치하기 쉽습니다.

"우리가 상대하는 사람들 중 상당수는 가족과 연고가 없습니다. 연락할 가까운 친척이 없기 때문에 실종되거나 사망하면 결국 잊혀지게 됩니다."라고 마우이 구조대의 전무이사 스콧 핸슨은 말합니다.

변화를 만들기 위해서는 부유한 국가들이 협력하고 글로벌 책임을 져야 합니다. 실종을 예방하고 실종자의 운명을 해결하기 위한 이니셔티브는 필수적입니다. 재난 대비와 긴급 대응은 생명을 구하며, 시신 신원 확인을 위한 자금은 매우 중요합니다.

Non-contact exposure to dinotefuran disrupts honey bee homing by altering MagR and Cry2 gene expression

Non-contact exposure to dinotefuran disrupts honey bee homing by altering MagR and Cry2 gene expression Dinotefuran is known to negatively affect honeybee ( Apis mellifera ) behavior, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The magnetoreceptor ( MagR , which responds to magnetic fields) and cryptochrome ( Cry2 , which is sensitive to light) genes are considered to play important roles in honey bees’ homing and localization behaviors. Our study found that dinotefuran, even without direct contact, can act like a magnet, significantly altering MagR expression in honeybees. This non-contact exposure reduced the bees’ homing rate. In further experiments, we exposed foragers to light and magnetic fields, the MagR gene responded to magnetic fields only in the presence of light, with Cry 2 playing a key switching role in the magnetic field receptor mechanism ( MagR–Cry2 ). Yeast two-hybrid and BiFc assays confirmed an interactio...

“Global honey crisis”: Testing technology and local sourcing soars amid fraud and tampering concerns

“Global honey crisis”: Testing technology and local sourcing soars amid fraud and tampering concerns The World Beekeeping Awards will not grant a prize for honey next year due to the “inability” to thoroughly test honey for adulteration. The announcement comes amid the rise of honey fraud in the EU, where a 2023 investigation found that 46% of 147 honey samples tested were likely contaminated with low-cost plant syrups. Apimondia, the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations, organizes the event at its Congress, whose 49th edition will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in September 2025. The conference brings together beekeepers, scientists and other stakeholders. “We will celebrate honey in many ways at the Congress, but honey will no longer be a category, and thus, there will be no honey judging in the World Beekeeping Awards. The lessons learned from Canada 2019 and Chile 2023 were that adequate testing was impossible if we are to award winning honey at the Con...

Unveiling the Canopy's Secrets: New Bee Species Discovered in the Pacific In an exciting development for environmentalists and beekeeping experts, researchers have discovered eight new species of masked bees in the Pacific Islands, shining a light on the rich biodiversity hidden within the forest canopy. This discovery underscores the critical role bees play in our ecosystems and the pressing need for conservation efforts to protect these vital pollinators. A New Frontier in Bee Research By exploring the forest canopy, scientists have opened a new frontier in bee research, revealing species that have adapted to life high above the ground. These discoveries are crucial for understanding the complex relationships between bees, flora, and the broader ecosystem. The new species of masked bees, characterized by their striking black bodies with yellow or white highlights, particularly on their faces, rely exclusively on the forest canopy for survival. The Importance of Bee Conservation...

Bee attack claims life of newspaper distributor

Bee attack claims life of newspaper distributor Newspaper distributor Pushparaja Shetty (45), who sustained severe injuries in a bee attack, succumbed to his injuries on Thursday at a hospital in Mangaluru. Pushparaja was attacked by a swarm of bees on Wednesday morning while walking at Kenjaru Taangadi under Bajpe town panchayat limits. He was immediately admitted to a hospital for treatment but could not survive the ordeal. Fondly known as ‘Boggu’ in the Porkodi area, Pushparaja was well-known for his dedication to delivering newspapers on foot to every household. He was admired for his generosity, as he often distributed sweets to schoolchildren on Independence Day using his own earnings and contributed part of his income to the betterment of society. Pushparaja was unmarried and is survived by three brothers and one sister.

New Report – Interlocked: Midwives and the Climate Crisis

New Report – Interlocked: Midwives and the Climate Crisis Earlier this year, midwives from 41 countries shared their experiences of working in communities affected by climate change through our survey, Midwives’ Experiences and Perspectives on Climate Change. Their voices shaped our new report, Interlocked: Midwives and the Climate Crisis , which highlights how midwives are already responding to the health impacts of climate disasters like floods, wildfires, and extreme heat—and why they must be included in climate action plans. What did we learn?Climate change is damaging community health: 75% of midwives reported that climate change is harming the communities they serve, with rising rates of preterm births, food insecurity, and restricted access to care during disasters like floods. Midwives are critical first responders: Midwives are often the first and only healthcare providers on the ground in crises, delivering care during wildfires, floods, and extreme heat. Midwives face signi...

Start the New Year Humming Like a Bee

Start the New Year Humming Like a Bee There are lots of opportunities to be as busy as a bee during these winter holidays. As we hustle toward the dawn of the New Year, it can be hard to notice that the natural world is actually suggesting something different for us right now. We’re past the solstice, but the winter still stretches ahead, the days are still short and the nights long. We’re being invited into a quieter, more inner-focused time. The ancient yogis were all about this inner focus. In India, for example, the Upanishads, the Sanskrit writings that accompanied the development of Hinduism — and alongside it, yoga — beginning around 800 B.C.E., went deeper than earlier texts had into philosophy and questions of being. With the goals of increased inner awareness and higher consciousness, yoga was at that time not yet as focused on the body or on asanas, as it now can tend to be. But the yogis did develop many practices to try to open the way to those goals. They discovered...

The largest “killer hornets” in the world were exterminated in the US

The largest “killer hornets” in the world were exterminated in the US The US informed that it had exterminated the worldʼs largest hornets, nicknamed "killer hornets" — they are capable of occupying a hive of honey bees in just 90 minutes, decapitating all its inhabitants and feeding their offspring to their own. This was reported by the Department of Agriculture in Washington. The hornets, which can reach five centimeters in length, were previously called Asian giant hornets, but in 2019 they were also spotted in Washington state near the Canadian border. In China, these insects killed 42 people and seriously injured 1,675. A dead northern giant hornet (below) next to a native bald hornet. According to experts, the hornets could have entered North America in plant pots or shipping containers. The hornet can sting through most beekeeper suits because it produces nearly seven times more venom than a honeybee and stings multiple times. Thatʼs why the Washington Departme...

Why the Caraways are proud to “bee” farmers

Why the Caraways are proud to “bee” farmers Bees play a vital role in our ecosystem by spreading nutrients to crops, produce, and other plants. Ron and Diane Caraway are reminded of that each day on the homestead, Boggy Branch Farms, that’s been in their family for three generations. While Ron cared for the land as a teenager, he followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the U.S. Air Force after graduating high school. He managed airplanes for 45 years as an air traffic controller. Now, Ron manages flying insects as a beekeeper—or, as he puts it, a ‘bee partner.’ “They allow me to work alongside with them and to help them in some cases, with the case of parasites or diseases and I’m able to enjoy that fruit that they provide,” explained Ron. Along with raising their handful of hives, the Caraways grow hay and produce. Above all, they want to raise awareness for the bees’ essential role in making things grow. “One of the things that I think that we overlook is—in the Wiregrass ...

Climate Crisis Claims Glacier's Vital Climate Data Archive

Climate Crisis Claims Glacier's Vital Climate Data Archive A recent study published in Nature Geoscience reveals a distressing consequence of global warming: the irreversible loss of valuable climate data stored in alpine glaciers. The research, conducted by a team led by Margit Schwikowski from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), underscores the alarming rate at which glaciers are melting and highlights the implications for climate research. The study focuses on the Corbassière glacier at Grand Combin in Switzerland, where ice cores drilled in 2018 and 2020 were intended to serve as vital climate archives. However, comparing the two sets of ice cores reveals a grim reality—global warming has rendered the glacier unsuitable as a reliable climate archive. Glaciers, renowned as climate archives, encapsulate valuable information about past climatic conditions and atmospheric compositions. The fluctuating concentrations of trace substances in ice layers provide insights into historica...

German election: Climate and environment take a back seat

German election: Climate and environment take a back seat When the coalition government comprising the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) , Greens and neoliberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) emerged after the last German federal election in the fall of 2021, then-incoming Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) did not object to being called the "climate chancellor." That was no surprise: the climate crisis had been a top issue during the election campaign. The new government made the fight against climate change a task for the Economy Ministry and appointed Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck from the Greens as its head. Three and a half years later, campaign speeches barely mention climate protection. The dominant issues are how to curb irregular immigration and how to boost Germany's sluggish economy. Skeptical view of renewable energy The head of the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) , Friedrich Merz ...
