    The Climatic Virus in an Age of Paralysis | In the Moment
    https://critinq.wordpress.com/2020/03/21/the-climatic-virus-in-an-age-of-paralysis/

    not only are we watching social systems change, we are even discovering how social values are changing accordingly. Sure, some people are reinventing themselves as Ayn Randian, sovereign individuals by hoarding toilet paper, and a few of the ultra-rich escapists that Bruno Latour and I have previously discussed as a geosocial elite have fled to New Zealand where they are hiding from the virus in their climate secured bunkers[iii]. However, as Rune Lykkeberg notes, in general, the panic seem to have generated practices of solidarity that were impossible to even imagine a few weeks ago.

    This only makes the relief even bigger. Both our material and social destiny are still negotiable. And if this is an important realization, it is of course because of the hope that we – when the time is right – will be able to take advantage of the current, collectivist momentum and its political energy to create a realistic connection between the direction of civilization and its earthly, material conditions of existence. However, the possibility of this is much greateer if we understand that it might already be the absence of such a connection that we are reacting to, in panic as well as with relief.

    This relief might very well disappear from the horizon within a few days or weeks, when the virus crisis reaches its ultimate point. Fear will be all we have left and we will unequivocally wish ourselves back to the days where everything was as it used to be. However, this does not necessarily make its insights any less important or valid – perhaps even the contrary.

    It will be a strange spring and perhaps even a strange summer. However, maybe the concrete threat has given us a number of cognitive and practical strategies to counter the more abstract crisis that we are facing with climatic mutations. Despite its tragedies, the virus might end up as an emancipatory tool in an age of paralysis

    TUHO:


    - úvodní obrázek jsou denní lety podle Flightradaru, celosvětově. V podstatě až do 13. března se létalo tak jako vždycky, s minimálními omezeními (tedy s potenciálním šířením viru po celé planetě). Až pak to začalo padat - nicméně i v těchto dnech je okolo 30 000 běžných letů (pasažéři i náklad, dolní zelená čára) denně.

    Revealed: Extinction Rebellion’s plan to exploit the Covid crisis | The Spectator
    https://www.spectator.co.uk/...cle/revealed-extinction-rebellion-s-plans-to-exploit-the-Covid-crisis

    + reakce ruperta reada:

    "The idea of not letting a crisis go to waste is an entirely standard one within Government: it is attributed to Rahm Emanuel, former White House Chief of Staff (although the germ of the quotation is often attributed to Winston Churchill in the context of the final stages of World War Two). All I meant by using the phrase is that it’s quite obvious that it would be a gross collective dereliction of duty if we were not as a nation to learn from this coronavirus. The crisis it has imposed upon us should be used to ensure that we make ourselves less vulnerable to future crises: whether future pandemics, or the climate crisis, or whatever. It would be stupid to let this crisis go to waste, by not preparing, through it, for future crises. That’s just common sense.”

    NASA developed the new tool together with researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with the team drawing on data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow On (GRACE-FO) satellites. Launched last year, these spacecraft circle the Earth to map its gravitational field, and by detecting variations in that gravitational field, can reveal the shifting of mass, such as the global flow of water and ice.
    The GRACE-FO observations were mixed with computer models that simulate water and energy cycles to spit out time-varying maps of water distribution at different depths. This includes the moisture of the soil at the surface, root zone soil moisture that takes up the top 3 feet of soil, and shallow groundwater, with the water distribution presented in the form of weekly global maps.

    In an obscure corner of the American physical oil market, crude prices have turned negative -- producers are actually paying consumers to take away the black stuff.
    The first crude stream to turn upside down was Wyoming Asphalt Sour, a dense oil used mostly to produce paving bitumen. Mercuria Energy Group Ltd., a trading house, bid negative 19 cents per barrel in mid-March for the crude, effectively asking producers to pay for the luxury of getting rid of their output.

    Aviation giants 'push for Virgin Atlantic' bailout
    The Covid-19 crisis is putting all airlines under severe pressures, including Virgin Atlantic - who has been hit by Donald Trump’s travel ban, and flight restrictions elsewhere.

    Now, Sky News reports, a “frantic lobbying campaign” to secure taxpayer support for Virgin Atlantic Airways is underway.

    Apparently it involves two of the aviation industry’s biggest manufacturers, Airbus and Rolls-Royce Holdings, and Heathrow Airport - who are also all suffering from the crisis.

    tak kdo si tipne jak to dopadne?

    TAKE TWO
    Some parts of the observing system are already affected. Most notably the significant decrease in air traffic has had a clear impact. In-flight measurements of ambient temperature and wind speed and direction are a very important source of information for both weather prediction and climate monitoring.
    Commercial airliners contribute to the Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay programme (AMDAR), which uses onboard sensors, computers and communications systems to collect, process, format and transmit meteorological observations to ground stations via satellite or radio links.
    In some parts of the world, in particular over Europe, the decrease in the number of measurements over the last couple of weeks has been dramatic. (see chart below provided by EUMETNET).
    The AMDAR observing system has traditionally produced over 700 000 high-quality observations per day of air temperature and wind speed and direction, together with the required positional and temporal information, and with an increasing number of humidity and turbulence measurements being made.

    A lot of people have an “Oh, shit” moment with climate change — something that wakes them up to the scale and severity of the crisis. What was your moment?
    I think it happened in two phases. The first moment happened at Standing Rock. I was there with native communities and leaders. It was their land, secured via treaty with the United States, that we decided to violate because a fossil-fuel company had essentially purchased our politics. Just standing there, [seeing] people organized against these massive tanks, these armed guards. [But] it wasn’t the U.S. military that people were standing up against; it was a militarized corporation — a fossil-fuel corporation. That, to me, was the “Oh, shit” moment in terms of what it’s actually going to take — because it’s not just about the science, it’s about the systems that protect all of the power that goes into defying the science.

    But in terms of the cost and the scale, the second “Oh, shit” moment happened with Hurricane Maria the following year. I lost my grandfather in the aftermath of Maria.
