Responding to

Been wondering how to respond to climate change locally and as a human who is affected by it.

I'm listening for a practice or activity that could confirm to other locals that they're part of a group who support robust action to prevent large human-activity-caused climate change.

Looking for something that will help in the tiniest discernable way to shift me, and maybe others, away from by climate change.

What you got universe

About 10% of the UK looks underwater after this weeks record levels of rain.

1. If the webpage is, e.g., titled "CNN Travel" that's an explicit biased business interest (be cautious of sales rhetoric)

2. If it sounds like bullshit it probably is

"Poop-powered planes: could jet fuel made from sewage take off"

Something smells off about that question

At least saying that the idea of burning "poop" to mitigate CO2 emissions sounds like another bullshit idea has a comedic quality to it.

"The visualization presents monthly global temperature anomalies."

Are they ever going to accept the message that it's burning "shit" (AKA carbon based fuels) that is the problem that's causing

Looks like Dec-23 was the 7th consecutive month of record-shattering global temperature. 2023 is breaking all records. The 10 hottest years are the last 10. And the 2 hottest years are the last 2.

Whatever happened to acid rain

That was the big scary thing when I was in infant school.

I even drew a picture of it.

How forests smell a risk for the climate

Plants emit odours for a variety of reasons, such as to communicate with each other, to deter herbivores or to respond to changing environmental conditions. An team of researchers carried out a study to investigate how biodiversity influences these emissions. They were able to show species-rich forests emit less of these gases into the atmosphere than monocultures.

Global absorbed solar radiation anomaly

"Earth has become darker, absorbing more of the sunlight incident on the planet. The increase of absorbed solar radiation (1.4 W/m2) is a decrease of Earths albedo (reflectivity) of 0.4% (1.4/340). This reduced albedo is equivalent to a sudden increase of atmospheric CO2 from 420 to 530 ppm."

For every socio-economic problem there are winners... so in a time of & problems with hot weather (including droughts), you'll be unsdruprisd that destinations are seeing increased bookings as are locations further north in the summer - the great holiday pivot looks to have got started.

Of course, the travelling to these holiday *does* contribute to the very problems holiday makers are seeking to avoid.

Tricia Stadnyk, professor of civil engineering in the Schulich School of Engineering and geography, is one of the authors of the study. The prairies, specifically Canada and down through the continental U.S. are one of only a few hotspots in the world, where drought is actually projected to decrease mean annual runoff.

If we have those conditions in the spring again, then were back into an agricultural disaster.

"The year has shown us, more than ever before, that dithering over climate policy is not just unproductive, its ruinous. What weve experienced should be a call to action that transcends politics, a call to safeguard our future against the relentless force of a wilder climate. Governments wise enough to answer that call must press forward with robust mitigation and adaptation policies and investments."

It's panic mode for City officials in Calgary monitoring drought conditions and water supply.

Without some rain or snow soon, we're in real trouble.

"Despite the official end of the wildfire season being marked in the fall, there are still 64 fires burning throughout the province, about 10 times the normal amount."
