<b>CODE RED, IPCC Climate Report</b><br>
Sep 9, 2021<br>
Facing Future<br>
The 2021 Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change, #IPCC, report
marks an alarming turning point, but its summary message for policy
makers misses the reality that stabilizing at 1.5-2°C over pre-
industrial levels will fail to preserve a livable environment. <br>
<br>
Already, at under 1.2°C, extreme weather and climate tipping points
have been reached. The #CarbonSinks that supported a carbon budget
are already stressed to the limit. The Amazon, once a major sink,
is now a net emitter of greenhouse gases, due to rainforest
destruction for animal and industrial agriculture and wildfires.
The Arctic is melting fast, releasing methane from peat bogs,
tundra, and from under the disappearing ice, whose ability to
reflect heat, is also essential.<br>
<br>
Even as industrial and fossil fuel interests control political and
financial agendas, food security may be the decisive threat that
makes policy-makers listen. As people become increasingly aware of
the devastation around them, surveys show that a large percentage of
the world’s population is now in support of the major changes that
are necessary to survive the existential threat of climate change.<br>
<br>
Code Red is the highest level of alert, but we are almost out of
time to heed it and to reduce human-produced emissions sufficiently
to slow down the rising concentration of greenhouse gases, and to
preserve the Earth’s essential carbon sinks. Peter Carter, Brian
Wright, and Mark Anderson reveal that the IPCC report needs to send
a clearer and even more urgent message.<br>

<i>[video opinion on paper waste]</i><br>
<b>Could papermill landfill waste pave our highways?</b><br>
Sep 12, 2021<br>
Just Have a Think<br>
Modern paper and pulp mills produce a surprisingly large amount of
waste. Most of it is incinerated to produce energy, but at least
fifteen percent is simply tossed into landfill, with all the
environmental hazards that this causes. So a great deal of research
and development has been taking place over the years to find ways of
using this waste product for something a bit more climate friendly
and productive. One of the most promising results has been a cement
replacement that can be used in road building and construction.
That'll reduce CO2 emissions from cement making and keep nasty
toxins out of the ground. <br>

<i>[ Drought over decades is really a significant change in climate
]</i><br>
<b>NASA Drought Research: Glimpsing The Future</b><br>
Posted by EarthSky Voices<br>
September 12, 2021<br>
NASA said on September 8, 2021, that – according to NOAA – seasonal
summer rains have done little to offset drought conditions gripping
the western United States. California and Nevada both saw record
July heat and moderate-to-exceptional drought. New NASA research now
shows how drought in the region is expected to change in the future.
The study found that the western U.S. is headed for prolonged
drought conditions. That’s the case, according to this study,
whether greenhouse gas emissions continue to climb or are
aggressively reined in.<br>
- -<br>
But the study also showed that the severity of acute, extreme
drought events – and the overall severity of prolonged drought
conditions – could be reduced with emissions-curbing efforts, as
compared with a high-emissions future. This is important information
for decision-makers considering two tools to reduce climate impacts:
adaptation and mitigation. NASA said the new work will:<br>
<br>
… provide stakeholders with crucial information for decision-making.<br>
- -<br>
The scientists who conducted the new study wanted to understand the
vulnerability and tendency towards drought in the U.S. Southwest,
and the factors contributing to it. So the team selected the severe
single-year drought of 2002 and the extended drought of 2000 to 2020
as examples of acute and prolonged droughts, respectively. Then they
looked at how common these acute and prolonged droughts were. They
looked not only during the period of instrumental records, but also
using reconstructed drought conditions stretching back more than
1,000 years. And they looked at state-of-the-art supercomputer
simulations of the future...<br>
- -<br>
Understanding that increased drought can be expected under high and
low emission scenarios alike has implications for adaptation
strategies like rationing water usage and changing agricultural
practices.<br>
<br>
At the same time, the study’s finding that greenhouse emissions
reductions still matter for extreme drought underscores the value of
mitigation. Ko Barrett, senior advisor for climate in NOAA’s Office
of Research and vice-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change’s Sixth Assessment Report, said:<br>
<br>
The ongoing southwestern drought highlights the profound effects dry
conditions have on people and the economy. The study clearly
highlights the impact that greenhouse gas mitigation could have on
the occurrence and severity of Southwestern drought. It is not too
late to act and blunt impacts like severe Southwestern drought
periods and short-term drought events...<br>
<br>
Marvel agreed. She added:<br>
There’s going to be a new normal regardless. There’s going to have
to be some adaptation to a drier regional climate. But the degree of
that adaptation – how often these droughts happen, what happens to
the drought risk – that’s basically under our control.<br>

<b>Shed A Light: Rupert Read – This civilisation is finished: so
what is to be done?</b><br>
Nov 9, 2018<br>
Churchill College, University of Cambridge<br>
Rupert Read, Environmental Philosopher and Chair of Green House
Think Tank.<br>
<br>
The Paris Agreement explicitly commits us to use non-existent,
utterly reckless, unaffordable and ineffective 'Negative Emissions
Technologies' which will almost certainly fail to be realised.
Barring a multifaceted miracle, within a generation, we will be
facing an exponentially rising tide of climate disasters that will
bring this civilization down. We, therefore, need to engage with
climate realism. This means an epic struggle to mitigate and adapt,
an epic struggle to take on the climate-criminals and, notably, to
start planning seriously for civilizational collapse.<br>
<br>
Dr Rupert Read is a Reader in Philosophy at the University of East
Anglia. Rupert is a specialist in Wittgenstein, environmental
philosophy, critiques of Rawlsian liberalism, and philosophy of
film. His research in environmental ethics and economics has
included publications on problems of ‘natural capital’ valuations of
nature, as well as pioneering work on the Precautionary Principle.
Recently, his work was cited by the Supreme Court of the Philippines
in their landmark decision to ban the cultivation of GM aubergine.
Rupert is also chair of the UK-based post-growth think tank, Green
House, and is a former Green Party of England & Wales
councillor, spokesperson, European parliamentary candidate and
national parliamentary candidate. He stood as the Green Party
MP-candidate for Cambridge in 2015.<br>
