We cant engineer our way out of this: how to protect flood-hit Severn Valley

Die Stiftung hat einen groartigen Brief an alle demokratischen Parteien, besonders die im Bundestag geschrieben, indem sie die Parteien dazu auffordert zgig nachhaltige und sozialvertrgliche zu machen. Und zwar ber Parteigrenzen hinweg.

Ich teile den Brief hier in voller Lnge als Thread.

With some murmurings of mitigation doing the rounds, I thought this a cautionery tale of politics and entitlement vs the laws of physics.

We cant engineer our way out of this

>But today, as the towns and villages along the Severn valley clean up after the latest flooding, evidence across the country suggests that **despite tens of millions spent on human-made defences, the extraordinary impact of the climate crisis on rainfall, river levels and flooding means it is a matter of when not if the barriers will be breached**

>hydrological data emerging from across the country over the last 15 years offers stark evidence that no human-made defence is ever going to be enough to stop the water.

>We cannot engineer our way out of this. Raising existing defences wont be technically, financially or environmentally possible.

We'll do the nonsensical anyway I guess, after all it's why we're in this mess.

Alors que le problme de l'agriculture est lie avant tout au manque de vision de la profession, la libralisation du march des produits agricoles et aux lourdeurs administratives, le gouvernement avec l'appuie de la FNSEA est en train d'enterrer le peu de politiques climatiques et environnementales qui existaient dans ce pays, pour redonner une chance au climat et la biodiversit.

glaciologists wanted to capture samples from ice core drilling, which would be taken from 20 alpine glaciers & then stored in an ice cave at the South Pole.

but at one site, they could't drill the ice core samples, which were meant to be 20 meters thick, because they kept encountering really soft, watery layers down deep that were messing up the instruments.

they had to abandon the project at one glacier, which has now melted a lot.

The CO2 concentration is increasing all the time. If this trend continues, the CO2 tipping point of 478 ppm is very likely reached within 25 years.

We need to act now to reduce emissions!!!

Today, there are422.58 ppmcarbon in the atmosphere.

That's an increase of

Greta Thunberg joins protest against Farnborough Airport expansion to demand ban on private jets

#extinction #rebellion #xr #rebelforlife #climate #climatechange

The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people

But it does need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind.

It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable & humane.

Cities is sinking faster than sea levels are rising

"Our research with Tom Parsons of the U.S. Geological Survey found that most of New York City is sinking between 1 to 4 centimeters per year due to a combination of glacial rebound and the weight of its more than 1 million buildings. In a city where sea level is projected to rise between 8 and 30 inches by 2050, subsidence further increases its vulnerability to coastal storms."
