#climateMitigation

2025-05-16

#ClimateResearch, #ClimateMitigation and #ClimateAdaption are experiencing hurricane conditions in some parts of the world today (hello USA) but... play the long game. Here's a review and perspective with a touch of #LongNow thinking:

"All possible—but currently unknown—worlds in 2050, with a larger global population, unprecedented climate conditions with higher temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, sea level rise, disrupted ecosystems, changes in habitability and increased climate-induced displacement and migration, and the emergence of new geopolitical tensions, will require limiting society’s vulnerability both through mitigation measures to minimize further warming and through the implementation of innovative adaptation initiatives. The development of a skillful climate information system, based on the most advanced Earth system science, will be required to inform decision-makers and the public around the world about the local and remote impacts of climate change, and guide them in optimizing their adaptation and mitigation agendas. This information will also help manage renewable resources in a warmer world and strengthen resilience to the expected interconnected impacts of climate change. "

Because this video is already 4 yrs old based on data even older, some data in this video may not be accurate.
Me personally i'm not as optimistic about the #ClimateAdaptation as the makers are. But I guess that's because it's their business.
New discoveries about a possible disruption of the AMOK would also mean these predictions may be on the optimistic side.
But if you take all the above in account it is still a video that predicts a problematic outcome [to say the least].

And let me make an important point:
#ClimateMitigation [reducing CO2 emission c.s.] is by far the best, most durable and affordable option. So #StopBurningThings.
Your best protection is prevention.

Quote by CNRS:
"Nov 3, 2021 #CNRS
The speed and magnitude of the climate change we are facing today is unprecedented. Heatwaves, droughts, floods... We are feeling its effects on our daily lives, year after year. Its impacts will increase at least until 2050 and every region of Europe will be affected.
Based on the results of the latest [2019-2020 !!} available studies, and in particular, on the 6th IPCC report, this film, produced by scientists in the framework of the European project EUCP, aims to present to the general public the climate changes expected in Europe in 2050. The researchers explain in an accessible way the variations in temperature and precipitation as well as the extreme climate events that European inhabitants will have to face.
This film provides the keys to understand how climate will reshape our landscapes and lifestyles over the coming decades. ... and to enable us to better anticipate the need for human societies to adapt to this partly inevitable climate change."

Here is #27 of our 33-week serial presentation of #ClimateSolutionsMythDebunkings. These were researched and authored at Columbia University School of Law's Sabin Center For Climate Change Law. In collaboration with Sabin, we adapted the original report into individually accessible corrections, handy for sharing etc.

Very few people experience depressed property values due to wind turbines. As the authors allude, there are plenty of other collocations capable of depressing property values. This juxtaposition is spotlighted in our attention for reasons quite apart from the good of homeowners.

Screen capture of climate solutions myth debunking: What is the effect of wind turbines on property values? 

Text:

"What the science says...
While there might initially be a small decrease in property values, the effect all but disappears with time and distance from a wind project and the presence of a fossil fuel fired power plant has greater impact on property values.

Climate Myth...
Wind turbines destroy nearby property values

"[T]he presence of a wind power facility is likely to drive down the value of surrounding properties." (Wind Watch)"This rebuttal is based on the report "Rebutting 33 False Claims About Solar, Wind, and Electric Vehicles" written by Matthew Eisenson, Jacob Elkin, Andy Fitch, Matthew Ard, Kaya Sittinger & Samuel Lavine and published by the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School in 2024. Skeptical Science sincerely appreciates Sabin Center's generosity in collaborating with us to make this information available as widely as possible.

They: Climate mitigation mustn't impair social justice.

Me: So you want climate justice?

They: No, that would impair capitalism. We want capitalism to keep impairing social justice.

Me: So you're just fearmongering to distract from your cruelties?

They: Of course. That's what we always do.

Whether we call it #EnergyModernization or #EnergyTransition or #RenewableEnergy, with #ClimateChange becoming undeniable the fossilized parts of our energy industry are adapting tactics to keep us locked in the past-- and ruin our chances for #ClimateMitigation.

We collaborated with the #SabinCenterForClimateChangeLaw to adapt their comprehensive #debunking of #RenewableEnergyMyths for easier access. We're highlighting each of 33 articles, one per week.

Screen capture of Skeptical Science/Sabin Center for Climate Change Law debunking of an energy myth.

Text:

"What the science says...

The lifecycle emissions of solar energy are far lower than fossil fuel sources, with the emissions of coal being 23 times greater than solar PV while the emissions of natural gas are 11 times greater than solar PV.

Myth...

Solar energy is worse for the climate than burning fossil fuels

"It is likely that solar farms are making climate change worse."

Due to upstream database lag the freshest edition of our weekly #ClimateResearch compendium includes 218 reports by 1,516 investigators.

What's the most important finding of this omnibus collection?

How about "Climate policies that achieved major emission reductions: Global evidence from two decades," Stechemesser et al.

If we pay attention and act on evidence, we'll more likely fix our problem.

#ClimateMitigation policy research: we know plenty. Learn and #vote.

Screen grab of article abstract from Skeptical Science New Research.

Text:

"Climate policies that achieved major emission reductions: Global evidence from two decades, Stechemesser et al., Science:

Meeting the Paris Agreement’s climate targets necessitates better knowledge about which climate policies work in reducing emissions at the necessary scale. We provide a global, systematic ex post evaluation to identify policy combinations that have led to large emission reductions out of 1500 climate policies implemented between 1998 and 2022 across 41 countries from six continents. Our approach integrates a comprehensive climate policy database with a machine learning–based extension of the common difference-in-differences approach. We identified 63 successful policy interventions with total emission reductions between 0.6 billion and 1.8 billion metric tonnes CO2. Our insights on effective but rarely studied policy combinations highlight the important role of price-based instruments in well-designed policy mixes and the policy efforts necessary for closing the emissions gap."

"For activists in France, mega-basins have become a symbol of how the government is adapting to climate change in precisely the wrong way. In response to intensifying droughts, French authorities have carved giant water storage systems into the countryside for large farms to draw down in dry months. Critics say these mega-basins—which can hold up to 720 million liters, the equivalent of nearly 300 Olympic-sized swimming pools—are effectively hoarding water, reserving it for private landowners, leaving rivers parched and local groundwater systems depleted."

Our newest weekly roundup of research on #ClimateChange, #ClimateMitigation, #ClimateAdaptation and the whole juggernaut of "just a trace gas" includes 163 papers involving 965 contributing investigators.

Preponderance in this edition: vanishing ice haunting the entire planet. From length of days to sea level to food chains, the delicate quasi-equilibrium we've pushed too fast and too hard has a vast footprint of truly planetary scale.
