<b>How to tackle your inner climate denier</b><br>
Simon Kuper, Financial Times<br>
The FT’s Simon Kuper says that, “like many others, my instinctive
response is to change the subject, but collectively that has to
change”. He continues: “I understood the ‘new climate denial’ only
after hearing a talk about it by Wolfgang Blau, head of the global
climate hub at the consultancy Brunswick. Most of us practise the
new denial. We’ll activate it next week during [COP28], which will
achieve almost nothing and be overshadowed by wars and nonsense.
But saving my daughter’s generation will require ditching denial.
Blau, speaking at the recent Faith Angle Europe conference,
suggested how to do that…We made a civilisational blunder.
Correcting it will require huge collective effort now. To help
people understand this, Blau recommends learning to see ourselves
‘as a comparatively young species, as mostly well-intentioned
highly gifted kids, who compared to most species have just
arrived, and are still learning to live here without breaking
things’. Then, he says, people need to know we can combat climate
change. In other words, we need a sense of agency.”<br>

effective climate action: The Urgent Case for SRM</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Paul Beckwith</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Nov 23, 2023</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">A crucial paper preprint was just released by
Peter Wadham’s and his colleagues making a very strong case for
the vital, absolute necessity of studying, scaling, and deployment
of Solar Radiation Management (SRM).</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The IPCC and the policymakers and governments
around the world have left it too long, and climate catastrophe is
now upon us. </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Slashing fossil fuels, and deploying and
scaling Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is absolutely necessary, but
no longer sufficient to avoid climate catastrophe. </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">It is now imperative that we add SRM at scale
to our climate mitigation toolkit. </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The paper refers to SRM as climate cooling
interventions, or just interventions, but really it is referring
to what many people call Solar Radiation Management.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">We simply have no other choice. </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">We either perish on this planet from abrupt
climate system mayhem, or study the heck out of and throw vast
amounts of money into scientifically assessing and then deploying
all the possible SRM ideas in order to preserve human society on
this planet. </font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">We have no other options, at this stage.
Climate change warming and disruption is accelerating “like a bat
out of hell”.</font><br>

organizers deal with heat</b><br>
Jan D. Walter<br>
November 22, 2023<br>
After the death of a 23-year-old woman in Brazil, DW looks at how
organizers of large events handle extreme heat and supply water.<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><b>Is it right to point the finger at
the organizers?</b><br>
Asked about whether blame should be attributed to the organizers,
two experts warned against jumping to hasty conclusions. The exact
circumstances are difficult to determine from a distance, they
told DW<br>
- -<br>
However, supplying 60,000 fans with water is no mean feat,
according to Sven Hansens. "The necessary quantities are also
frequently underestimated in Europe," the managing director of
Event Safety Consult and deputy chairman of the German Event
Safety Association said.<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><br>
One must also bear in the mind the potential behavior of
concert-goers. "If a young fan has struggled to get a ticket,
queued for hours and somehow manages to get a spot right at the
front, they might disregard their basic needs in order to hold on
to that spot," Hansen said.<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><b>Is global warming changing event
planning?</b><br>
"We no longer organize open air events without meteorologists,"
Hansen said. This way, large event planners make certain decisions
before but also during the event.<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><br>
"Up until now, the biggest issue in this regard has been the risk
of thunderstorms," says the expert. It is common practice for
event organizers to insure themselves against financial losses in
case an event must be cancelled.<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><br>
But these days, other forms of extreme weather are relevant too.
Organizers also consider the risk that excessively hot weather or
strong UV radiation could end events early.<br>
"In summer, it's relatively normal for events with tens of
thousands of visitors to have a three-digit number of first-aid
situations. That includes everything from dehydration and
heatstroke to insect bites and so on," he said.<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><br>
At Taylor Swift's concert in Rio de Janeiro on Friday, the fire
department registered more than 1,000 cases of fainting among the
60,000 attendees.<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><br>
Swift's second concert in Rio had been planned for Saturday but
the organizers shifted the show to Monday, when temperatures were
expected to be (and indeed were) significantly lower. A court has
also ordered that water containers be allowed at the singer's next
three upcoming concerts in Sao Paulo and that a supply of drinking
water must be ensured.<br>
