The Way of Time von Biosphere ist heute veröffentlicht worden.

Als ich mir vorhin – gemütlich mit Kopfhörern auf den Ohren – das erste Mal das Album gehört habe, war ich wohl etwas zu müde und bin beim zweiten oder dritten Titel direkt eingeschlafen. [..]

Very excited about today's record-store find. Biosphere's Shenzhou with an additional third LP.

Not really the techno ambient you would usually expect from the artist. The soundscapes are minimal, but with enough variation in and between the tracks to keep you engaged.

Biosphere - Microgravity

Bliss, dance & downtempo 90’s from Biosphere

Feels like this album inhabits what would take over the nineties like malaria, but lucky this was early on, so we are safe… for now

This is ‘after show chill out’, plain & simple

Ich habe heute zufällig auf RadioEins zum Thema "Berlin Sounds" den Beitrag über das Ostberliner Funkhaus in der Nalepastraße gehört. Darin wurde auch das legendäre Subharchord besprochen. Ein elektronisches Musikinstrument, das in den 60er Jahren in der DDR entwickelt worden ist, aber dann in Vergessenheit geriet.
Ich hatte 2014 die Chance genutzt, ein Konzert im Funkhaus zu besuchen, bei dem ein restauriertes Exemplar im Mittelpunkt stand. Es wurde u.a. von Geir Jenssen (Biosphere) vorgeführt.

Foto aus dem Konzertsaal. Es sind hölzerne stufenartige Ränge um die tieferliegende Bühne im Saal eingebaut. Es ist wenig Publikum sitzend verteilt, vielleicht ein Dutzend Leute.
Auf der Bühne steht Geir Jenssen am Subharchord. Es befinden sich weitere Instrumente und Lautsprecher auf der Bühne.
Der Hintergrund des Raumes lässt die eindrucksvolle Deckenhöhe erahnen. Die Wand ist mit verschiedenen Holzelementen verkleidet.Mein unscharfes Foto des Subharchords aus der Nähe. Auf einem Korpus aus hellem Holz sind eine Klaviatur und ein großes Schaltpaneel aufgesetzt. 
Die Klaviatur hat am oberen und am unteren Ende Abschnitte, in denen die hellen Tasten in einem Grauton statt Weiß ausgeführt sind.
Das Schaltpannel besteht aus zwei blaugrauen Platten mit vielen weißen Drehreglern und Schaltern.
Eine Platte ist direkt vertikal über der Klaviatur angebracht.
Die zweite Platte ist links versetzt neben der Klaviatur angebracht.
Insgesamt wirkt die Gestaltung auf mich wie aus einem alten Science-Fiction-Film.

The only way to reduce temperatures is to reduce carbon.

The burning of #FossilFuels#oil, #coal, and #NaturalGas – is the primary source of man-made atmospheric #CarbonDioxide. Since the start of the industrial revolution, humans have contributed more than 2,000 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

After it is released into the atmosphere, the carbon dioxide is naturally redistributed between the #atmosphere, the #oceans, and the #biosphere. However, none of the emitted #carbon will return to the #Earth by natural processes for many tens of thousands of years.
As a result, the carbon that humans release by burning fossil fuels will lead to increased levels of carbon in the atmosphere, #ocean, and #biosphere for many thousands of years.

If carbon dioxide is allowed to continue to accumulate in the atmosphere, it will be impossible for the world to stay below 2.0°C, let alone 1.5°C.

Exploring the risks of ‘cascading’ tipping points in a warming world

Tipping elements within the Earth system are increasingly well understood.

Scientists have identified more than 25 parts of the Earth’s #climate system that are likely to have #TippingPoints – thresholds where a small additional change in global warming will cause them to irreversibly shift into a new state.

The “tipping” of these systems – which include the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC), the #Amazon #rainforest and the #Greenland ice sheet – would have profound consequences for both the #biosphere and people.

More recent research suggests that triggering one tipping element could cause subsequent changes in other tipping elements, potentially leading to a #TippingCascade.

For example, a collapsed AMOC could lead to dieback of the Amazon rainforest and hasten the melt of the Greenland ice sheet.

However, the interactions between individual tipping elements – and the ways they might trigger each other – remain largely underexplored.

In a review study, published last year in Earth System Dynamics, we unpack the current state of scientific understanding of the interactions between individual tipping elements.

We find that scientific literature suggests the majority of interactions between tipping elements will lead to further destabilisation of the climate system.

Existing research also indicates that “tipping cascades” could occur even under current #GlobalWarming projections.

Scientific understanding of individual #TippingElements is continuously improving, but more research on their interactions is needed.
