<font face="Calibri">SINGAPORE, June 30 (Reuters) - The target of
keeping long-term global warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7
Fahrenheit) is moving out of reach, climate experts say, with
nations failing to set more ambitious goals despite months of
record-breaking heat on land and sea.<br>
<br>
As envoys gathered in Bonn in early June to prepare for this
year's annual climate talks in November, average global surface
air temperatures were more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels
for several days, the EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service
(C3S) said...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Climate experts say the extent and frequency of
extreme weather is increasing, and this year has also seen
punishing droughts across the world, as well as a rare and deadly
cyclone in Africa.<br>
<br>
The Worldwide Fund for Nature, however, warned of a "worrying lack
of momentum" during climate talks in Bonn this month, with little
progress made on key issues like fossil fuels and finance ahead of
November's COP28 climate talks in Dubai.<br>
<br>
"It was very detached from what was going on outside of the
building in Bonn - I was very disappointed by that," said Li Shuo,
Greenpeace's senior climate adviser in Beijing.<br>
<br>
"We are really getting to the moment of truth ... I am hoping that
the sheer reality will help us change people's moves and change
the politics."<br>
<br>
Talks between the United States and China could resume next week
with U.S. climate envoy John Kerry set to visit Beijing, though
few expect it to add momentum to climate negotiations.<br>

<font face="Calibri"><b>Legal protection essential for people
displaced by climate change: UN expert</b><br>
27 June 2023 Migrants and Refugees<br>
An independent UN-appointed climate expert on Tuesday called for
full legal protection to be given to those displaced by the
impacts of climate change, to guarantee their human rights.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">“The effects of climate change are becoming
more severe, and the number of people displaced across
international borders is rapidly increasing,” said Ian Fry,
independent human rights expert on climate change, who took up the
new post last year. <br>
<br>
“In 2020 alone, 30.7 million people were displaced from their
homes due to weather-related events. Droughts were the main
factor,” Mr. Fry said in his latest thematic report to the Human
Rights Council in Geneva. “We must take immediate steps to give
legal protection to these people.”<br>
<br>
Multiple rights violations <br>
The independent expert said that people displaced by climate
change face multiple human rights violations including of their
rights to food, water, sanitation, housing, health, education and,
for some, their basic right to life.<br>
<br>
“The human rights implications of climate change displacement, in
particular across international borders, are significant and truly
disturbing,” the expert said.<br>
<br>
He called it “profoundly worrying” that large numbers of people
displaced across borders, die or go missing every year on both
land and sea...<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Displacement and natural disasters </b><br>
According to the independent expert, displacement due to climate
change can take many different forms.<br>
<br>
It can involve sudden events or more slow acting factors such sea
level rise or drought. Most people affected by these events feel
they have no choice but to move. Women and children are the most
impacted by disasters and the effects of climate change, and also
account for the majority of displaced people.<br>
<br>
“The international community must realise its responsibility to
protect people displaced across borders by climate change
impacts,” the expert said...<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">“The Human Rights Council should prepare a
resolution for submission to the UN General Assembly urging the
body to develop an optional protocol under the Convention relating
to the Status of Refugees to address displacement and legal
protection for people all over the world affected by the climate
crisis,” the expert said.<br>
<br>
“Until then, I urge all nations to develop national legislation to
provide humanitarian visas for persons displaced across
international borders due to climate change, as an interim
measure,” he said.<br>
<br>

rights experts, work on a voluntary and unpaid basis, are not UN

<b>Earlier collapse of Anthropocene ecosystems driven by multiple
faster and noisier drivers</b><br>
</font><font face="Calibri"><b>Abstract</b><br>
A major concern for the world’s ecosystems is the possibility of
collapse, where landscapes and the societies they support change
abruptly. Accelerating stress levels, increasing frequencies of
extreme events and strengthening intersystem connections suggest
that conventional modelling approaches based on incremental
changes in a single stress may provide poor estimates of the
impact of climate and human activities on ecosystems. We conduct
experiments on four models that simulate abrupt changes in the
Chilika lagoon fishery, the Easter Island community, forest
dieback and lake water quality—representing ecosystems with a
range of anthropogenic interactions. Collapses occur sooner under
increasing levels of primary stress but additional stresses and/or
the inclusion of noise in all four models bring the collapses
substantially closer to today by ~38–81%. We discuss the
implications for further research and the need for humanity to be
vigilant for signs that ecosystems are degrading even more rapidly
than previously thought.<br>

</font><font face="Calibri"><b>Ever-Deepening Vortex of Collapse in
Earth’s Ecological Systems</b><br>
Paul Beckwith<br>
Jun 30, 2023<br>
As I said many moons ago, Earth is losing the ability to provide
for and support us and all the plants and animals. It is not
rapidly dying, but it is actively being killed by us and the
weapon of choice that we use is our fossil fuel combustion.<br>
<br>
I chat about a brand spanking new peer reviewed scientific paper
on Ecological Tipping Points. Basically, we have been modelling
dynamic systems incorrectly for years, and we do not recognize the
reality that many of our ecological and physical systems are much
closer to abrupt tipping point thresholds than we can imagine.<br>
<br>
Most of our models to-date examine incremental change in one
primary driver that increases and eventually reaches a threshold
whereby the system either undergoes a “flickering” between the
existing and new state, or a critical slowing down of frequency
(with an increase in amplitude of fluctuation) and then flips
(tips) into a new system state. In reality, systems are more
complex than this, and we need to model:<br>
<br>
1) changes in primary driver<br>
2) changes in secondary driver<br>
3) changes in tertiary driver<br>
4) addition of stochastic (random) or uncoupled noise<br>
5) addition of coupled noise<br>
<br>
When we include all of these multiple forcings and two types of
noise into our simulations, we find that the system tipping
(crossing a breakpoint or threshold of no return) occurs much
sooner, in fact occurs substantially sooner, or closer to today by
between 38% and 81%.<br>
<br>
Although the four different systems examined in this paper
represent a cross-section of all systems, the results are likely
variously applicable to Earth systems like Arctic Sea Ice collapse
to a Blue Ocean event, collapse of Amazon Rainforest to a
grassland or savannah state, loss of Boreal Forests, Ocean
Acidification, Loss of Arctic Permafrost, loss of Greenland Ice
Sheets, loss of Antarctica Ice sheets, and Shutdown of AMOC and
PMOC (Pacific Meridional Overturning Circulation), as well as
Biodiversity Collapse. <br>

In this Our Changing Climate video essay, I look at the looming
threat of species extinction and biodiversity collapse.
Specifically, I uncover the extent of the sixth mass extinction.
What it is and how bad it's happening. Then, I work through the
key drivers of the acceleration of species die-offs across the
planet. I look at how climate change and land use change (read:
deforestation) have destructive consequences for the biodiversity
climate. Finally, the video dives into the capitalist forces
driving this mass extinction event.</font><br>
