*How the Rich REALLY Cause Climate Change*
Sep 23, 2022
In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at how 
the rich really cause climate change. Specifically, I look at how the 
focus on the richest people in the world's consumption habits (i.e. our 
obsession with Taylor Swift's jet emissions) distracts us from how they 
make their money in the first place. It is through their control and 
power over production that the rich drive emissions through the roof in 
pursuit of profits. In order to understand the climate crisis, in order 
to understand what's driving the climate crisis, we need to look beyond 
individual footprints and toward the point of production. It is here 
where the rampant emissions stem from. At the point of production, a 
handful of individuals make choices that have dire ramifications for 
billions and dark consequences for the environment.

This video leaned heavily on Matt Huber's book _Climate Change and Class 
War_, you can check it out here:

/[ "Just Have a Think" - video on CO2 removal in the Concrete industry ]/
*Carbon neutral concrete. Can new technologies get us there faster?*
2,306 views  Oct 2, 2022  Concrete accounts for 8% of global CO2 
emissions and it's usage is set to skyrocket in the coming decades as 
the world's population grows and moves towards more urban environments. 
So removing carbon from the process is a crucial part of the climate 
mitigation challenge. And now, several start-up companies have stepped 
up to meet that challenge.

*Hydrogen storage in powder : Breakthrough or Busted??*
102,816 views  Sep 25, 2022  Hydrogen is not easy to store. To get it 
into a manageable form it either has to be highly compressed or 
cryogenically chilled, both of which are expensive and energy hungry 
processes. Now two separate and completely unconnected teams claim to 
have worked out how to store hydrogen in powder form. So is this a 
genuine breakthrough or yet more wishful thinking?

/[ So does Global Warming -- explained in audio  ]/
*Climate change makes storms like Ian more common*
September 29, 2022
Heat is the fuel that makes hurricanes big, powerful and rainy. As 
humans burn fossil fuels and release huge amounts of carbon dioxide and 
other greenhouse gasses, the amount of heat trapped on Earth rises 
steadily. The air gets hotter, and the ocean water gets hotter. When a 
baby hurricane forms in the Atlantic, all that heat is available to help 
the storm grow.

That's what happened to Ian. When the storm first formed, it was 
relatively weak. But as it moved over very hot water in the Caribbean 
and Gulf of Mexico, it grew very quickly...

*Climate change makes catastrophic flooding from hurricanes more likely*
A warmer planet also drives more flooding from hurricanes and tropical 
storms. A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture. When a storm gains 
power and gets very large, like Ian, it holds a gigantic amount of water 
vapor, which falls as rain — often hundreds or even thousands of miles 
from where the storm initially hits land.

Research has already shown that past storms, such as Hurricane Harvey, 
dropped more rain because of climate change.

And the bigger the storm, the bigger the storm surge. Ian pushed a wall 
of water ashore in Florida. And sea level rise means that ocean water is 
closer to buildings and roads than it used to be. Many Florida cities 
experience ocean flooding even on sunny days.

Together, sea level rise and powerful, rainy storms like Ian conspire to 
cause catastrophic flooding across huge areas of the U.S. when a 
hurricane hits land.

/[  First big decision for British Royalty is to ignore reality ]/
*King Charles, stepping back from campaigning, will not go to Egypt 
climate summit*
LONDON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Britain's King Charles will not attend a world 
leaders' climate change summit in Egypt next month, a royal source said 
on Sunday, as the new monarch steps back from his previous high-profile 
campaigning roles.

Buckingham Palace sought government advice about the United Nations 
COP27 summit and it was unanimously agreed that it would not be right 
for Charles to visit in person for what would be his first overseas trip 
as sovereign, the source said.

/[ More history of global warming reporting ]/
*The climate crisis? We’ve been investigating it for more than 100 years*
Climate warnings have been around for decades. Guardian reporting on the 
issue dates back as far as 1890

The standard terminology has been around longer than you might think. 
The first mention of the “greenhouse effect” came in 1935, when the 
Observer published a short piece under the heading ‘Three year period of 
warmth’. Two decades later, the phrase “global warming” was first 
deployed in a 1957 Guardian article titled “Possible melting of polar 
ice-caps,” though in subsequent years, the chief concern was of the 
weather turning colder, not warmer.
https://img.newspapers.com/img/img?clippingId=109640853&width=700&height=724&ts=1607535806
By the early 1980s, the idea that human-made greenh ouse gas emissions 
were creating a heat-trapping effect in the atmosphere, slowly warming 
the planet, was still an embryonic scientific theory. But the Guardian 
was starting to publish regular explorations of the science and the stakes.

/[ quite distressing to consider the global certainty of widespread 
collapse ]/
*Professor Jem Bendell Strategist & educator on social change, focused 
on Deep Adaptation to societal breakdown*
Clips from the Deep Adaptation paper

    *Abstract*
    The purpose of this conceptual paper is to provide readers with an
    opportunity to reassess
    their work and life in the face of what I believe to be an
    inevitable near-term societal collapse
    due to climate change.

    The approach of the paper is to analyse recent studies on climate
    change and its implications
    for our ecosystems, economies and societies, as provided by academic
    journals and
    publications direct from research institutes.

    That synthesis leads to my conclusion there will be a near-term
    collapse in society with serious
    ramifications for the lives of readers. The paper does not prove the
    inevitability of such
    collapse, which would involve further discussion of social,
    economic, political and cultural
    factors, but it proves that such a topic is of urgent importance.
    The paper reviews some of the
    reasons why collapse-denial may exist, in particular, in the
    professions of sustainability
    research and practice, therefore leading to these arguments having
    been absent from these
    fields until now.

    The paper offers a new meta-framing of the implications for
    research, organisational practice,
    personal development and public policy, called the Deep Adaptation
    Agenda. Its key aspects
    of resilience, relinquishment, restoration and reconciliation are
    explained. This agenda does
    not seek to build on existing scholarship on “climate adaptation” as
    it is premised on the view
    that societal collapse is now likely, inevitable or already unfolding.

    The author believes this is one of the first papers in the
    sustainability management field to
    conclude that climate-induced near-term societal collapse should now
    be a central concern for
    everyone, and therefore to invite scholars to explore the implications.

    *Conclusions*
    Since records began in 1850, seventeen of the eighteen hottest years
    have occurred since
    2000. Important steps on climate mitigation and adaptation have been
    taken over the past
    decade. However, these steps could now be regarded as equivalent to
    walking up a landslide.
    If the landslide had not already begun, then quicker and bigger
    steps would get us to the top
    of where we want to be. Sadly, the latest climate data, emissions
    data and data on the spread
    of carbon-intensive lifestyles show that the landslide has already
    begun. As the point of no
    return can’t be fully known until after the event, ambitious work on
    reducing carbon
    emissions and extracting more from the air (naturally and
    synthetically) is more critical than
    ever. That must involve a new front of action on methane.
    Disruptive impacts from climate change are now inevitable.
    Geoengineering is likely to be
    ineffective or counter-productive. Therefore, the mainstream climate
    policy community now
    recognises the need to work much more on adaptation to the effects
    of climate change. That
    must now rapidly permeate the broader field of people engaged in
    sustainable development
    as practitioners, researchers and educators. In assessing how our
    approaches could evolve, we
    need to appreciate what kind of adaptation is possible. Recent
    research suggests that human
    societies will experience disruptions to their basic functioning
    within less than ten years due to
    climate stress. Such disruptions include increased levels of
    malnutrition, starvation, disease,
    civil conflict and war – and will not avoid affluent nations. This
    situation makes redundant the
    reformist approach to sustainable development and related fields of
    corporate sustainability
    that has underpinned the approach of many professionals (Bendell et
    al, 2017). Instead, a new
    approach which explores how to reduce harm and not make matters
    worse is important to
    develop. In support of that challenging, and ultimately personal
    process, understanding a deep
    adaptation agenda may be useful.
