LeisureguyDoctored up a commercial soup — mushroom-barley — again. Barley soups generally use pearled barley (though pot barley is also popular), but I like using hulled barley: the intact grain with bran still present (since the bran is not only good fiber but also has most of the vitamins and minerals of the grain). I used purple barley, a hulless variety with more antioxidants than most barley. (Barley is unusual in that its endosperm also includes dietary fiber.)I wanted a bean as well, and I used soybeans (though I had intended to use chickpeas). For greens, I used black kale.<a href="https://leisureguy.ca/2025/07/16/doctoring-soup/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://leisureguy.ca/2025/07/16/doctoring-soup/</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/vegancooking" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@vegancooking</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/wfpb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@wfpb</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recipe</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WFPB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WFPB</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vegan</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vegetarian</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/omnivore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#omnivore</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#health</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cooking</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/barley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#barley</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/soybeans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#soybeans</a>

O=C=OEffective emergency management prevented larger catastrophe after climate change fueled heavy rains in Central Mississippi river valley The <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/floods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#floods</a> inundated large rural areas including agricultural fields, especially in <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Arkansas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arkansas</a> which has resulted in an estimated 78 Million USD of damage due to losses in fields that were already planted. Larger losses were avoided due to the timing of the floods before other <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/crops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#crops</a> like <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/peanuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#peanuts</a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/cotton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cotton</a> were planted, and since there is still a window to replant crops like <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/corn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#corn</a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/soybeans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#soybeans</a>. Based on gridded data products, we find that the extreme <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/rainfall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rainfall</a> event over the study region is relatively rare, expected to occur in today’s <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#climate</a> only once every 90-240 years across different observational and reanalysis datasets. However, in a 1.3°C cooler climate, extreme rainfall such as observed would be even rarer. The best estimates for the increase in likelihood for the 2025 event associated with this warming is between a factor 2 to 5, and the increase in intensity for an event of equivalent rarity as observed is 13-26%. To quantify the role of human-induced <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> in this increased likelihood and intensity we also analyse climate model data over the study region for the historical period. The best estimate of the synthesised result, combining observations with climate models, is about a 40% increase in likelihood and about a 9% increase in intensity. These estimates are smaller than the observed trends due to large discrepancies between the climate model results. While some models show increases similar to or larger than the observed trends, others show weaker or even decreasing trends. In contrast, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateModels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateModels</a> consistently project that extreme precipitation events such as the one observed in April 2025 will become more frequent and intense in the future as global temperatures rise. Under current climate policies – which will lead to warming of approximately 2.6°C by 2100 – such extremes are expected to approximately double in likelihood again, and increase in intensity by about a further 7%. As the moisture that fuelled the rainfall event was partly coming from the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GulfOfMexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GulfOfMexico</a> we also assessed the role of climate change in the sea surface temperatures. We found that these waters were heated by approximately 1.2 °C (2.2 °F) due to human-caused climate change, and such <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ocean</a> conditions are now about 14 times more likely than in a cooler pre-industrial world. This contributed to higher <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/evaporation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#evaporation</a> rates, increasing the availability of moisture in the rainfall event. The strong observed trends in precipitation extremes in this region are also found in other studies using different methods, across different regions, including the Central <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Mississippi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mississippi</a> river valley and are assessed as being attributable to climate change by the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/IPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IPCC</a> AR6 report. In conclusion, due to (1) the observed trends that are (2) in line with IPCC assessments and other literature in the region, and (3) the clear emergence of a climate change signal with further <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/warming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#warming</a> in all climate models as well as (4) the availability of more moisture due to higher SSTs, we state that climate change amplified the heavy rainfall leading to the floods and that the estimate from observations and models combined of a 9% increase in intensity and 40% increase in likelihood is conservative and the role of climate change could be as large as the observations alone suggest Despite being an extremely complex event, with tornadoes, flash floods, riverine floods and landslides overlapping, the US National Weather Service made a tremendous effort to provide early warnings for the floods, in some cases up to a week in advance of river crests. These early warnings allowed state and local emergency departments to prepare, inform the public, and evacuate those at highest risk. While any loss of life is devastating, the outcomes of this event point to the effectiveness of decades-long investments made in forecasting, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/EarlyWarningSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EarlyWarningSystems</a>, and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/forecast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forecast</a>-based action. Nearly half of NWS field offices are facing vacancy rates of 20% or more, double the short-staffing levels of a decade ago.

DoomsdaysCWWhat the heck is “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CornSweat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CornSweat</a>” and is it making the Midwest more dangerous?It’s pretty much just as gross as it sounds."In one 2020 study, researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics analyzed a past summer heat wave in the Midwest and found that cropland — most of which comprised corn in this part of the country — can increase moisture in the air above it by up to 40 percent."by Benji Jones Aug 29, 2024"Ah, yes, late August in the Midwest: a time for popsicles by the lake, a trip to the county fair, and, of course, extreme humidity made more miserable by … corn sweat."Corn sweat. It’s a thing! And people are talking about it.The term refers to the moisture released by fields of corn during hot and sunny weather. Like all other plants, corn transpires — meaning, it sucks up water from the ground and expels it into the air as a way to stay cool and distribute nutrients. Moisture also enters the air when water in the soil evaporates. Together with transpiration, this process is called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/evapotranspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#evapotranspiration</a>."So, where you find loads of plants packed tightly into one place, whether the Amazon rainforest or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Iowa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Iowa</a>, humidity can skyrocket during hot and especially sunny periods, making the air feel oppressive."That’s what happened this week: A late-summer <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/heatwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#heatwave</a> brought record and near-record temperatures to parts of the Midwest where there also happen to be vast fields of corn. With plenty of sunlight and temperatures in the high 90s, it was enough to make corn sweat, producing extremely uncomfortable weather."It’s not that corn sweats more than other plants — an acre releases less moisture on average than, say, a large oak tree — but the Midwest has a lot of corn in late August. In Iowa, for example, more than two-thirds of the area is farmland, and corn is the top crop (followed by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/soybeans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#soybeans</a>, which, by the way, also sweat)."[...]"Again, it’s not just crops across the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Midwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Midwest</a> that release moisture, increase humidity, and make summers feel disgusting (I know firsthand; I grew up in Iowa).
