The ceaseless rain in the second half of last year "was made 10 times more likely and 20% wetter by human-caused global heating, a study has found"
Research shows the Caatinga is Brazils most efficient carbon capture biome Given that the serious impacts of climate change are rapidly escalating, some scientists, backed up increasingly by governments, are looking into extreme measures such as geoengineering to slow the rate of change. A new report examines 61 climate mitigation ideas for the Arctic, including geoengineering. By
How many artist songs or "pop" can you think of that raise awareness about the ecologically degrading effects of the pop & music industry industry adverts inform the public that less, not more, cars is the road to sustainability rich politicians protest about the injustice against the vulnerability of being homeless citizens protest against crime that haven't personally experienced it And so it will be with EU election results threaten Green Deal, sustainability experts say The UK and Ireland face a wetter, damper and mouldier future due to Until the world reduces emissions to net zero, the climate will continue to warm, and rainfall in the UK and Ireland will continue to get heavier. This is the message we need to get out to combat the populist nonsense like "well if climate change is real at least we'll have nice hot summers" The incident highlights the potential dangers of turbulence, especially as scientists warn its occurrence will worsen with . introducing

Climate change responsible for wet winter ACT NOW Climate Change Made Recent UK and Ireland Storms Much Worse The climate crisis and its broader implications: Understanding the Crisis - Climate Change Impacts:
- Primary Effects: The direct environmental impacts such as floods, storms, and droughts.
- Secondary Effects: These encompass the broader societal impacts like social breakdown, mass migration, fiscal crises, and conflicts or wars.
Soft Problem: Infrastructure Response To address the primary effects of climate change, we need to: - Invest in Resilient Infrastructure:
- Develop, diversify and upgrade infrastructure to withstand extreme weather events.
- Implement sustainable urban planning and disaster preparedness programs.
- Promote Environmental Stewardship:
- Encourage policies that protect natural ecosystems and biodiversity.
- Support renewable down scaling with energy sources and end reliance on fossil fuels.
Hard Problem: State Stability and Security Addressing the secondary effects involves: - Economic and Social Policies:
- Develop political and economic policies that buffer against fiscal crises caused by climate change.
- Strengthen social safety nets to support communities impacted by environmental changes.
- Global Cooperation:
- Foster international collaboration to facilitate the mass migration and sharing of resources.
- Support global peacekeeping efforts to hold justice in place and prevent conflicts exacerbated by climate stressors.
Accountability and Legal Action Prosecuting individuals or groups for their direct roles in the climate crisis involves several considerations: - Legal Frameworks:
- Establish clear legal standards for environmental crimes and corporate responsibility.
- Develop international agreements to hold entities accountable for environmental damage.
- Ethical Considerations:
- Ensure that legal actions are grounded in social justice and fairness.
- Avoid simple scapegoating and ensure that those prosecuted are responsible for significant harm.
- Focus on Prevention:
- Prioritize measures that prevent future harm along side punitive actions for though who are found responsible.
- Promote corporate and governmental accountability through regulations and incentives for sustainable practices and well as impotently building real alternatives.

- Encourage community involvement in real sustainability initiatives.
- Policy and Governance:
- Advocate for robust climate policies at national and international levels.
- Ensure that climate action is integrated into broader progressive security and economic strategies.
- Innovation and Adaptation:
- Invest in research and development of soft and hard technologies for climate mitigation and adaptation.
- Encourage the needed adaptive practices in agriculture, industry, and urban development.
- Ethical Leadership:
- Foster community leadership outside the current agendas, that prioritize long-term sustainability and ethical governance.
- Promote #4opens transparency and accountability in society and climate-related decision-making.

Indie journo Michael Thomas' latest newsletter (which you should totally subscribe to and support if possible -- I myself am a subscriber). Biden Keeps Passing Smart Climate Policies:
This year, the Biden administration has passed multiple policies that will cut billions of tons of carbon emissions FERC passed big transmission reforms now the hard part begins On the relative comfort of traditional vs modern homes in western sub-saharan Africa: "A study on this subject was published in 2021 by Barabara Widera, an instructor of architecture from the Wrocaw University of Science and Technology in Poland. The study found that during the hot season, 60-70% of the inhabitants of traditional dwellings found their homes to be thermally comfortable. However, in modern houses, only 20% of inhabitants reported such comfort. During the cold seasons, comfort was reported by 90% of the inhabitants in traditional houses and only 50% of those who lived in modern housing." damage and loss are unfairly distributed. And so are the solutions. In the fight for a , we desperately need a of and for all, argues Marja Spierenburg. That will also generate broad-based support for . Green Hydrogen Proposals Across California The authors found that the existing plans for deploying green hydrogen in California often lack detail, but when these details are provided the plans rarely align. Indeed, misalignment exists across all aspects of Californias proposed green hydrogen systemfrom where and how hydrogen will be produced, to how it will be transported and used. , , Fatalities and serious injuries from turbulence are rare, but climate change is making it worse. Last year, a study by meteorologists at the University of Reading in the UK found that skies are up to 55% bumpier than four decades ago due to climate change. Addendum: When I drove by today I noticed some rope peaking out from under the billboard. So I investigated. Chances my sign was removed by an unhappy member of the public: +89% .... Mad enough to physically destroy a obviously new tarp and leave behind new rope and shackles. (time needed for me to untie: about 30sec) Oh well
'Scientists have warned of increased turbulence, particularly clear air turbulence which is harder to detect or forecast, as global heating warms air at higher altitudes and makes weather more unpredictable.' Rail Carriers Contemplate Life After Diesel: Whats Next Rail Carriers Contemplate Life After Diesel: Whats Next Guardian:Monkeys falling out of trees like apples in Mexico amid brutal heatwave High temperatures in Mexico have been linked to dozens and perhaps hundreds of deaths of howler monkeys At least 83 of the midsize primates, who are known for their roaring vocal calls, were found dead in the Gulf coast state of Tabasco. Others were rescued by residents, including five that were rushed to a local veterinarian who battled to save them. Insights from EPRIs Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Failure Incident Database The authors address the failure mode analysis gap by developing a classification system that is practical for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Once categorized in a standardized manner, the aggregated failure data was analyzed to better understand trends in how why,
