    TUHOKlimaticka zmena / Thank you so much for ruining my day


    "Given the sheer enormity of climate change, it’s okay to be depressed, to grieve. But please, don’t stay there too long. Join me in pure, unadulterated, righteous anger."


    "I don’t want your hope. I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act. Once you start to act, the hope is everywhere."

    "Our best scientists tell us insistently that a calamity is unfolding, that the life-support systems of the Earth are being damaged in ways that threaten our survival. Yet in the face of these facts we carry on as usual."

    “We’ve got to stop burning fossil fuels. So many aspects of life depend on fossil fuels, except for music and love and education and happiness. These things, which hardly use fossil fuels, are what we must focus on.”

    A nejde o to, že na to nemáme dostatečné technologie, ty by na řešení použít šly, ale chybí nám vůle a představivost je využít. Zůstáváme při zemi, přemýšlíme až moc rezervovaně. Technologický pokrok to sám o sobě nevyřeší. Problém jsme my, ne technologické nástroje.

    Rostouci hladiny oceanu, zmena atmosferickeho proudeni, zmeny v distribuci srazek a sucha. Zmeny karbonoveho, fosforoveho a dusikoveho cyklu, okyselovani oceanu. Jake jsou bezpecnostni rizika a jake potencialni klady dramatickych zmen fungovani zemskeho systemu?
    Ale take jak funguji masove dezinformacni kampane ropneho prumyslu a boj o verejne mineni na prahu noveho klimatickeho rezimu post-holocenu.

    Extremely busy hurricane season 2020 now taps into the Greek alphabet
    https://www.severe-weather.eu/tropical-weather/greek-alphabet-atlantic-hurricanes-mk/

    There are still several months left until the official end of hurricane season 2020, but there has already been twice the average number of storms. With 23 storms under the belt, the traditional hurricane names are used. We are moving into the Greek alphabet. Alpha and Beta formed on Friday, but more is on the way!

    What makes this season being so extreme and record-breaking, is the fact that storms with the same letters are developing weeks earlier than normally expected. And even much earlier than previously set records.

    Such satellite image of numerous active storms is almost typical for 2020. While there was very active Tropical Atlantic not enough, even the Mediterranean produced a tropical storm – Medicane Ianos!

    ...

    the temperatures are around 1-2 degrees Celsius warmer than the long-term average (1981-2010) across the Western Atlantic, Caribbean, and also in part of the Gulf. Seas are particularly warm along the US East Coast, even up to 3 °C warmer.

    SHEFIK: tak nevím. reálně spotřeba v tom Holandsku neklesne, může to teda energii lehce zdražit. V síti ale nejsou tak obrovský ztráty jak si myslíš - převážet pár set km elektřinu skutečně může být výhodnější, než vozit to uhlí (a v Holandsku se podle mě už netěží téměř určitě, i když zcela jistý si nejsem... nemám ale všechny informace, např. nejspíš to byla elektrárna na černé uhlí, to hnědé se na moc velké vzdálenosti převážet nevyplácelo nikdy, nejdál se vozí ještě tak možná u nás...)

    Nevím, jestli postupují dobře nebo špatně. Zavírání uhelných elektráren by mělo provázet zavírání energeticky náročných provozů. U nás by to znamenalo dál omezit vývoz elektřiny, což mi jako problém nepřijde. Pokud místo toho jen stoupne dovoz zemního plynu do plynových elektráren, je to nepatrně lepší než to uhlí (ty se startují, jen když zrovna OZE nedodávají nic, což třeba u toho větru není zas tak moc často).

    YMLADRIS: lze to udělat. prostě jim soud nařídil dovést elektřinu z hnědého uhlí ve východním Německu (nebo, dovedeno do důsledků, klidně od nás - síť v EU je propojená).

    Je to blbý, ale unilaterální akce v propojeném světě větinou nemají žádný reálný dopad (leda v tomto případě, diskutabilně, se nějaké emise ušetří, když se do toho Holandska "doveze", tedy dovede, ta elektřina po již existujících drátech, a nevozí se tam to uhlí, byť vozit ho na lodích po Rýnu má asi relativně malou enviromentální stopu, proti železnici u nás, což je zase jiný problém).

    V tom Holandsku jde určitě hlavně o energii potřebnou pro jejich zemědělskou a průmyslovou produkci: jako přímořský stát, který kombinuje oceánské klima (tedy většinu roku spolehlivě nad nulou) s abundantním větrem, mají z hlediska spotřeby domácností jednu z nejlepších šancí v Evropě být neutrální, a když se k tomu přidají ta kola, jsou v podstatě za vodou (ovšem současně brzy pod vodou)

    'Shocking': wilderness the size of Mexico lost worldwide in just 13 years, study finds | Environment | The Guardian
    https://amp.theguardian.com/...erness-the-size-of-mexico-lost-worldwide-in-just-13-years-study-finds

    https://www.cell.com/one-earth/fulltext/S2590-3322(20)30418-8

    Wilderness across the planet is disappearing on a huge scale, according to a new study that found human activities had converted an area the size of Mexico from virtually intact natural landscapes to heavily modified ones in just 13 years.

    The loss of 1.9m square kilometres (735,000 sq miles) of intact ecosystems would have “profound implications” for the planet’s biodiversity, the study’s authors said.

    Using mostly satellite imagery, 17 scientists across six countries examined the human footprint across the globe and how it had changed between 2000 and 2013.

    Almost 20% of the earth’s surface had deteriorated, the study found, while human pressure had eased on only six per cent of the planet.

    Russia, Canada, Brazil, and Australia held the largest intact areas, together responsible for 60% of the world’s most untouched places.

    Some 1.1m sq km (425,000 sq miles) of wilderness identified from imagery in 2000 had some human impact 13 years later.

    Tropical savannahs and grasslands lost the most area to human pressure, the study, published in the journal One Earth, found.

    Energy Flow Trends in Big History | SpringerLink
    https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-33730-8_9
    https://www.academia.edu/.../62374223/2020_Big_History_Singularity20200315-18964-5xj2s5.pdf#page=195

    Energy flow is a major necessary component driving evolution of living system (along with information processes, organization, and entropy management). Energy flow is defined as the rate of energy use, after thermal heat losses are considered, i.e., free-energy power. Chaisson identified the energy flow density as a major determinant of complexity. Energy (such as food) is used to restore order among living systems (cell, animal, person, and civilization) overcoming the natural tendency to decay and diffuse. New energy mechanisms have been identified through the evolution of life, humans, and civilizations. The rate of energy innovation events is the same hyperbolic trend (with a singularity) that is seen in formation of new organizations. Here, we also investigate estimates of the energy flowing through evolving systems from early hydrothermal vents to the current global situation. It is found that the energy flow increases a bit faster than the population (or mass) in the system. For example, human bodies (such as early humans) use about 100 W of energy flow, whereas the global average is now roughly 3000 W per person with wide disparity (e.g., 10000 W/capita in the USA and 1000 W/capita in India).

    2019 On the Circular Bioeconomy and Decoupling: Implications for Sustainable Growth
    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921800918317178

    This paper explores the existing confusion around the conceptual definitions and interpretations of the term circular bioeconomy. The co-existence of diametrically opposite interpretations of the concept indicates lack of a serious discussion of its theoretical foundations. Two narratives on circular bioeconomy are explored in depth: (i) the new economic paradigm based on technological progress (the economics of technological promises) that seeks perpetual economic growth; (ii) an entropic (thermodynamic) narrative that reflects on the limits on economic growth imposed by nature. The latter narrative makes a distinction between primary, secondary and tertiary resource flows and helps to identify what can and cannot be re-circulated within the metabolic pattern of social-ecological systems. Adopting the biophysical view, it becomes clear that the industrial revolution represented a linearization of material and energy flows with the goal to overcome the low pace and density of biological transformations. The required level of productivity of production factors in contemporary developed economies (flows per hour of labor and per hectare of land use) is orders of magnitude larger than the pace and density of supply and sink capacity of natural processes. Relying on nature to ‘close the loop’ will simply slow down the economic process.

    2019 Terraforming Earth: Climate and Recursivity
    https://muse.jhu.edu/article/761285

    Terraforming began as a fantasy about making other planets earthlike, then returned to earth as a frame for what humans have done, are doing, or will do to the planet. Toward a reading of the phrase “terraforming earth” that would prove fruitful for criticism and theory, I analyze it into three forms of recursivity: formal, historical, and ecological. The three-loop analytic illuminates examples from science fiction and contemporary culture: H.G. Wells’s novel The War of the Worlds, Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel Green Mars, and Elon Musk’s desire to terraform Mars. The political theory of Sylvia Wynter offers a way of conceptualizing terraforming in terms of the difference between those who do and do not have access to optimal, immunized ecosystems and those who do and do not have agency over the earth system. I draw conclusions about terraforming’s scale-specificity and political implications, especially for understanding subject-formation in the Anthropocene.

    2017 Biosphere, Noosphere, and the Anthropocene: Earth's Perilous Prospects in a Cosmic Context
    https://www.academia.edu/...phere_and_the_Anthropocene_Earths_Perilous_Prospects_in_a_Cosmic_Context

    Visions of a high-tech 'good' Anthropocene as well as ambitious world-making projects like Biosphere 2 have roots in a quasi-religious form of cosmism and attendant notions of the noosphere: a planetary sphere of mind. Cosmic perspectives often celebrate and naturalize an image of humans as participants in and ultimately directors of planetary and cosmic processes. This brand of cosmism encourages fantasies of eeing our 'used' planet in search of our presumed interstellar destiny, and it encourages a disregard of earthly, ecological, and even bodily limits. I argue that the turn to planetary and cosmic perspectives is the wrong move for those who care about the future of the Earth and more-than-human life.

    2018 Major Transitions in Planetary Evolution
    https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/isal_a_00024

    Earth has undergone a succession of stages driven by physical, chemical, geological, biological, and social processes. Among the most significant transitions in Earth’s planetary evolution are the emergence of life and subsequent biochemical innovations, the emergence of social behavior and cognition, and the emergence of technology. After life emerged, planetary processes became much more complex due to increased diversity in what is biogeochemically possible. With the evolutionary emergence of collective behaviors, social systems, and cognition, an increasing number of planetary processes became controlled by life. Since the emergence of technology, intentional steering of the environment became possible. In each stage, new mechanisms of control, mediated by new information processing architectures, are added to existing levels of control on the planetary environment. We can classify these evolutionary stages of planets into matter-dominated, life-dominated, and agency-dominated phases, where each is distinguished by the extent to which information processing systems control planetary processes. We aim to characterize how each phase shapes planetary environments.

    2020 Gaian Systems - Lynn Margulis, Neocybernetics, and the End of the Anthropocene
    https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/gaian-systems
    https://books.google.cz/...Ll8c3iN61&sig=ckJNie6_ftoMazC0T6kftgnoQ1A&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

    *Gaian Systems* reviews and assesses the different dialects of systems theory brought to bear on the discourse of Gaia. Gaia theory is systems theory. In particular, James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis’s initial Gaia research was concurrent and conceptually parallel with the new discourse of self-referential systems that emerged within neocybernetic systems theory.

    A primary outlet for the Gaia hypothesis was CoEvolution Quarterly, the periodical successor to the Whole Earth Catalog. This venue insured that early in their mutual developments, Gaia theory intersected with second-order cybernetics, a leading edge of systems theory’s own epoch of countercultural transformations. The recent Gaia discourses of Donna Haraway, Isabelle Stengers, and Bruno Latour variously contest its cybernetic status.

    *Gaian Systems* sharpens this debate by engaging Latour in particular on the issue of Gaia’s systems description. Lovelock and Margulis consistently position Gaia theory as an application of either first- or second-order cybernetic systems theory. From these affirmations and exigencies I extend my own systems-theoretical synthesis under the technical phrase metabiotic Gaia.

    *Gaian Systems* shows how metabiotic Gaia discourse illuminates current issues in neighboring theoretical conversations, including system boundaries, biopolitics, the immunitary paradigm, symbiosis, the holobiont, astrobiology, the Anthropocene, the geological turn, and the new geocentrism.

    *Gaian Systems* uniquely traces the particular signature of Lynn Margulis on the evolution of Gaia theory. Other critical treatments tend to take Lovelock’s Gaia as the last word on the topic. In fact, Margulis occasionally published her own variations on Lovelock’s cybernetics. This study is the first to follow Margulis’s lead to see what the autopoietic turn can add to Gaia’s conception and description.

    *Gaian Systems* also makes selections from Margulis’s unpublished professional correspondence available for the first time. Additionally, no previous study has gone into this level of detail on the commerce of the Gaia hypothesis with the systems counterculture, the remarkable collegial network established by the Whole Earth Catalog, CoEvolution Quarterly, and the Lindisfarne Association.

    2019 Algae and oxygen, humans and carbon: A Precambrian analogue for the Anthropocene
    https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2053019619852165

    In 2003 Paul Crutzen and Will Steffen asserted that across Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history no analogue could be found for the Anthropocene. An analogue can, however, be located in the dim Precambrian past when, through oxygenic photosynthesis, cyanobacteria produced enough oxygen to alter the composition and character of the Earth System. The ‘Great Oxygenation Event’ that followed wiped out much of Earth’s anaerobic life while giving rise to all subsequent aerobic life. It also offers a clear comparison with the Anthropocene that implicates how we think about our current predicament.

    ...

    What of the similarities? Despite their differences in scale, scientists have fixed both within the same geological reckoning of linear time. Both events derived from essential, inherent, and specific life processes. Both involved a lifeform finding a way to utilise energy in ever more efficient and potentially lethal ways. And the first culminated – while the second shows every sign of repeating the same pattern – in events that altered the course of life on Earth involving equal helpings of vast destruction and profound creation. If the analogue to the supposedly ‘no-analogue’ state has anything to tell, then, it is that a monotheistically derived scientific sense of anthropocentric and anthropocenic exceptionalism, more so than the chemical by-products of our consumption, perhaps puts us most in peril because it leads us to deny the implacable fact that both the Anthropocene and its analogue were and are wholly consistent with the destructive and creative processes of life and perhaps even normal and unremarkable when set against the broad sweep of Earth’s billions of years.
