"Cryosphere faces permanent damage when world overshoots 1.5C, scientists warn"

Some call it biosolar, solar green roof, solar garden roof, green roof solar, or integrated solar versus overlay. In the end, what truly counts is the result, and if you depend on a roofing company or a solar installer, the outcome for either may fall short of expectations. Success is guaranteed only when the rooftop gardener is in control.

Between 1990 & 1998, Bougainville was the theatre of what has been labeled the first "eco-revolution" in history. Local residents sabotaged Rio Tinto's activities at the Panguna copper mine. This rapidly escalated into a full-blown war between the PNG National Defense Forces and local resistance. The company's environmental exploitation fuelled the quest for political independence, which Bougainville representatives had already expressed in 1975 at the end of Australian rule. Since the national army failed to quell the revolt, it besieged Bougainville, bringing civil unrest and inter-tribal warfare. Between 5,000 and 20,000 people are estimated to have died as a result of the conflict. The war ended when the PNG government agreed to give Bougainville autonomy and let Bougainvilleans vote in a consultative referendum on their political independence. The referendum was held in 2019 and gave a resounding victory to the pro-independence movement, but has not yet been ratified.
Here, I interview Gideon (my former guide), a former commander of the Rebel Army. Watch the interview here:

Thoughts on continuity through climate overshoot and what we leave for a future we can't possibly recognise, with thanks to for inspiration.

Overshoot, overwhelm and time

My quibble is with the omission of methane.

The science community of the "Special Report On Oceans and Cryosphere" publishes annual updates to the original IPCC report 2019, "SROCC", including on permafrost.
Why don't the off-the-shelf models incorporate this knowledge, I want to know. Instead, they juggle with "feedback uncertainty"  which then gets omitted in a new study like the one above by Gibbs et al
where it should make a huge, a very huge difference.

The numbers in , chapter 4, are quite certain, as I read them: 200Gt CO2e this century,
and, depending on the "achieved" warming, a <<certain>> amount of added CO2 each century afterwards. From memory, from 300 Gt in a low-ish warming to 400Gt CO2e in higher warmings. Which amounts to more added warming of >0.15 to >0.25C each century.

And bear in mind: the Russian Arctic heats the strongest. Looking at seasons, the strongest warming occurs in Winter, a whopping +17C <<warming>> uniformly across the permafrost region under SSP5-8.5. But absolute average temperature in 2100 is still well below freezing.
Those +17 in the Arctic winter are what's driving the <<annual>> global anomaly up considerably.

In spring, the no-freezing line gnaws into the permafrost belt already. And during summer, the average absolute temperature is over 20C across the whole permafrost region, that's a +6C anomaly compared to the average 1901-2000.

(see the difference Winter +17 anomaly versus +6 in summer I just point it out because it pays to keep in mind what the concepts of "annual" and "global" actually mean not much, it appears)

Summer temperatures are the time to thaw the soil ever deeper and deeper. While the deeper the thaw goes, the less it can re-freeze during winter so it keeps producing methane year-round.)

That's why I quietly add >0.1K to the green line per century, and >0.2K to the others per century.

One more thing 

In a break from US good news, here's a little morsel of bad news, with a minor food impact: Rice Krispies will not longer be made with rice grains due to "changing weather conditions". Small news in itself, but a harbinger of what's to come

We are happy that families are having food on their plates,young people attaining sustainable food production and our dream of ending hunger in the communities, becomes a reality in life every single day.
We thank those who are supporting our work especially to allow us have a community garden which will help provide enough space for more food production to support vulnerable families in the communities.

Very interesting. ZEC, the zero-emissions-commitment, meaning, how much temperature rise is committed to after emissions have stopped.
It's said to be 0. And soon after emissions stopped, temperatures drop.

Not so, says this new NATURE paper by Gibbs et al in "Zero emissions commitment depends on warming level"

If I understand it right, they solely look at the land-ocean CO2 response after cessation of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. What I mean: their model omits methane production from permafrost thaw.
And already, with this narrow, idealised focus, they find a slight 0.2K (C) INcrease in warming even for the green "2K" simulation that is supposed to almost keep within Paris. You see it rise to 0.2K within 25 years after year 0. So for instance, if 2050 is our zero-emission year, by 2075, the "achieved" temperature will rise by 0.2C.)

The ZEC warming gets stronger in those simulations with more achieved warmings at the time of cessation, year 0.

What they did differently to earlier ZEC simulations: theirs run for longer and don't stop at the arbitrary 2100 border.
(Although it is worth noting: computer processing has become cheaper so much so that there was a palpable jump in 2020 in simulation capabilities. So there's no room for reproaches like "conservative climate scientists", alright)

But I quietly add >0.1K per century to the green and blue line, and >0.2K per century to the others. Why see below.

Voters, on the other hand, view climate change itself as a problem for their aspirations. Exclusive polling for Grist from the think tank Data for Progress shows that 58 percent of likely U.S. voters believe that the warming climate will hinder their ability to achieve or maintain the American Dream over the next 20 years including 42 percent of Republicans.''

No. Penguin poo has been around in Antarctica since there were penguins. It is not making Antarctic snow "melt faster". The burning of fossil fuels is making Antarctic snow melt faster. We humans have the audacity to point a journalistic finger at the penguin population, cursing them for what they have always done in Antarctica - poop! It is the human population writing and reading these articles who is to blame, not the poor, unassuming penguins.

The USDOJ is not done with its intimidation of election officials, and the possible new senator (There are actually 15 days yet to go until all of the votes are even in, with only around 3/4 of them usually in by election day.) is just as in favour of fossil fuels as the old senator was.
