    The BBC televised "Extinction - the Facts", on Sunday. Globally loved David Attenborough introduces, warning that we need to act right now "this critical moment" or face extinction in the next few years.

    There is the usual bit of "hopium" at the end telling the unique story of saving the Virunga Mountain Gorillas from extinction... but otherwise,hard hitting footage of massive failures and losses in other areas
    - the very real possibility of 3 degrees temperature increase, some hard hitting footage of the human impact on biodiversity globally, big Agriculture's impact on habitat and soil loss globally, barren seas, even a noted increase in pandemics.

    The documentary is not easy watching - they are clear that the UN conventions on Biodiversity and Climate Change have actually not made a difference , and widespread climate change denial-ism is named.

    All this, on a very mainstream media outlet. Are we seeing a change in presenting facts to the public on the possibility of Extinction?

    At the moment you can watch the documentary online on BBC's website, but if you're not in the UK, you may be able to watch through this link on Twitter:

    Climate change mitigation as a co-benefit of regenerative ranching: insights from Australia and the United States
    https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsfs.2020.0027

    In this paper, we explore principles and practices associated with the larger enterprise of ‘regenerative ranching’ (RR), which includes managed grazing but infuses the practice with holistic decision-making.

    We argue that this broader approach is appealing due to a suite of ecological, economic and social benefits, making climate change mitigation an afterthought, or ‘co-benefit’. RR is challenging, however, because it requires a deep understanding of ecological processes along with a set of skills related to monitoring and moving livestock and feeding the soil microbiome.

    We review the literature regarding links between RR and SCS, then present results of qualitative research focused on motivators, enablers and constraints associated with RR, drawing on interviews with 52 practitioners in New South Wales, Australia and the western United States.

    Our analysis is guided by a conceptual model of the social–ecological system associated with RR that identifies determinants of regenerative potential. We discuss implications for rancher engagement and conclude with a consideration of leverage points for global scalability

    By neglecting to communicate the consequences of a 4˚C world – war, famine, drought, displacement – the Government are failing to protect us. Preparing for a 4˚C increase in temperatures is failing the next generation and those in the global south already suffering the most dire consequences.

    “We saw last night that the Climate Assembly UK is calling for ‘more education and information about climate change and the steps needed to tackle it’. The UK people are asking for information, so why is the Government staying silent? Why is Boris, his Government and Murdoch’s press empire ignoring the gravity of the greatest threat life has ever faced? This is the truth laid bare. Why don’t they care?”
    *
    30 brave rebels, more courageous than all the MPs put together, stepped up and locked themselves to the UK Parliament using D-locks around their necks, with a banner reading ‘Can’t Bare the Truth?’ and wearing face masks branded with ‘4°C’.

    Managing Climate Risk in the U.S. Financial System
    https://cleantechnica.com/2020/09/10/managing-climate-risk-in-the-u-s-financial-system/

    The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Climate-Related Market Risk Subcommittee of the Market Risk Advisory Committee (MRAC) today released a report entitled Managing Climate Risk in the U.S. Financial System. The Climate Subcommittee voted unanimously 34–0 to adopt the report

    ...

    Managing Climate Risk in the U.S. Financial System is the first of-its-kind effort from a U.S. government entity. Commissioner Behnam initiated this effort to examine climate-related impacts on the financial system in June 2019 when the MRAC convened to examine climate change-related financial risks. At that meeting, Behnam pointed to the critical importance of undertaking this effort, highlighting ongoing work by private market participants and government entities across the globe, including more than 40 central banks and supervisors like the European Central Bank, the World Bank, and the People’s Bank of China

    This Space Technology Can Cut Climate Pollution On Earth: MethaneSAT 
    https://cleantechnica.com/...10/this-space-technology-can-cut-climate-pollution-on-earth-methanesat/

    A 45 percent reduction in oil and gas methane emissions by 2025 would deliver the same 20-year climate benefit as closing one-third of the world’s coal-fired power plants.

    Is BP Finally Committing To Ambitious Climate Action — Or About To Fool Us Twice?
    https://cleantechnica.com/...nally-committing-to-ambitious-climate-action-or-about-to-fool-us-twice/

    In February, BP CEO Bernard Looney announced to great fanfare the company’s aims to bring carbon emissions from the oil and gas it produces and brings to market to net-zero by 2050 (with lesser ambitions for the oil and gas BP buys from other producers and then markets). In early August, Looney further pledged that by 2030, BP would cut its oil and gas production by 40% below 2019 (pre-pandemic) levels, increase its renewable electricity generation from ~2.5 gigawatts (GW) today to a whopping 50 GW and stop exploring for fossil fuels in new countries

    “Today is about a vision, a direction of travel,” Looney said at the February rollout. “I appreciate you want to see more than a vision. We don’t have that for you today, but we will in September. The direction is set. We are heading to net zero. There is no turning back.”


    ...

    [W]e are all citizens of one world, and we must take shared responsibility for its future. … [T]here is now an effective consensus among the world’s leading scientists and serious and well-informed people outside the scientific community that there is a discernible human influence on the climate and a link between the concentration of carbon dioxide and the increase in temperature. [I]t would be unwise and potentially dangerous to ignore the mounting concern.

    Koupil jsem si a přečetl Klima speciál od Týdeník Respekt. Je to dobré čtení, doporučuju. Ale něco tomu chybí. Tak jsem zkusil vést polemiku s liberálním pohledem na analýzu klimatické krize :)

    "Bez pojmenování viníků a s ignorací mocenské dimenze budou snahy o ekologickou politiku narážet dále na lidový odpor, jako v případě hnutí žlutých vest ve Francii. Lidé pak budou nadále dávat najevo bezmocnost, jak popisuje v reportáži z Jihlavska Ivana Svobodová."

    V klimatickém příběhu Respektu chybí hlavní záporáci - Radek Kubala
    https://denikreferendum.cz/clanek/31569-v-klimatickem-pribehu-respektu-chybi-hlavni-zaporaci

    Časopis Respekt vydal podnětný a kvalitně zpracovaný speciál věnovaný otázce klimatické krize. Ve všech nabízených příbězích však absentují její hlavní viníci, fosilní korporace a ekonomická moc ovládající politiku

    LINKOS: tak pocitej 6MW za minutovy dobijeni, to je porad prikon mensi vesnice ne? Co me vychazi, ze by to mohlo fungovat, tak az bude mit kazdy auto tak predimenzovany baterky, ze takovyhle 'tankovani' nebude temer potreba. A bude se proste dobijet curkem kde to pujde.
