I'm involved in an international project around #Climate, #ClimateAdaptation, #ClimateMitigation, and #sustainability and I am shocked to see the ease with which the other international partners (from around the globe) just assume "we will all be visiting each other".
Also I feel a bit of #FOMO, so there is that.
Climate's steep demands
may be inconvenient
so is Extinction
whose peace won't come peacefully
billions of violent ends

"Our high-resolution policy database features 356 demand-side measures, systematically classified according to policy target, instrument type, and the avoid-shift-improve framework. We find that existing policy mixes heavily rely on shift and improve measures, critically neglecting mitigation potentials of avoid options as well as certain policy areas. This suggests an urgent need to broaden demand-side policy mixes and explore strategies that increase the political feasibility of avoid options."

"Many cities never even got onboard on #ClimateMitigation & just jumped right to #Adaptation. Somehow they believe the science of #ClimateChange enough to know they must adapt to protect themselves but not enough to actually begin mitigating the consequences. It's just ridiculously irresponsible."

"To address #ClimateChange we have to address where most people live, which is our cities & our car-dependant suburbs. We need to make them much better if we are to stand a chance of making real, fast, bold, aggressive moves towards not just #ClimateAdaptation but critically, #Climatemitigation."

No ideas in the article on how to respond, which is worrying. I mean, I know we need to end fossil fuels, but it's kinda a bit late for this autumn. Like should we be out there watering #blackberries and wild #apple trees?
Need some #ClimateMitigation
#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.
"Europe’s climate in 2050" [6:19 min]

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.

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.

In a landmark study, an NYBG scientist and colleagues find that #reforestation stands out among plant-based #climateMitigation strategies as most beneficial for #wildlife #biodiversity
Impact on biodiversity needs to be considered when choosing a large-scale strategy to combat climate change, scientists assert in new paper in '#Science'

🌡️ Prepare #ClimateMitigation measures, with a focus on water retention, and temperature management.
🌨️ Consider carbon capture options, in particular reforesting.
☁️ Begin research on geoengineering

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.
