    Laptev Sea Not Refreezing & Other Arctic Climate Notes With Dr. Zack Labe
    https://climateseries.com/climate-change-podcast/74-dr-zack-labe-arctic-laptev-sea

    In this episode, I am speaking with Dr Zack Labe at Colorado State University’s Department of Atmospheric Science about the perilous heat trends reshaping the Arctic.

    Zack is very well known on social media for bringing the climate data to life, in a series of visualisations and charts that depict extremes, such as we have seen recently in the Laptev Sea where the start of the sea ice formation is yet to begin.

    In this discussion also we talk about improving the general publics’ overall literacy on climate change and why panicking is not the preferred course of action.

    Climate Psychology Podcast | US Election, COVID19 and Climate & Ecological Breakdown |CPA’s Adrian Tait discusses
    https://climateseries.com/climate-change-podcast/73-cpa-adrian-tait-01

    In this episode of Shaping The Future, I am speaking with Adrian Tait, a founding member of the Climate Psychology Alliance, (the CPA).

    Adrian discusses how the linkages between events such as the US election and COVID-19 are compounding the anxiety that many people feel about the climate and ecological crisis.

    In particular, he discusses Through The Door, a CPA initiative that has been utilised to help create a space where people who share anxieties about climate and ecology can come together. These groups are self-sustaining and may well offer the foundations of psychological resilience needed in ever more troubled times.

    One key observation is that the pandemic offers insights into how a society under pressure responds. In particular, Adrian highlights how necessary it is to discern the conflicting desires between a return to a pre-COVID world founded on unsustainable principals and the opportunity to reset our value systems and gear them towards a more balanced and sustainable world.

    podrobnejsi rozbor proc Biden nic moc neudela (senat) (z CarbonBrief)

    Biden’s bold climate plans could be thwarted in GOP-run Senate
    As the votes from a handful of key states continue to be counted and with Joe Biden looking on course to take the presidency, global coverage of the US presidential election continues. Bloomberg reports that even if Biden does take the White House, he will struggle to get his “ambitious climate agenda” past a Senate that now seems likely to remain in Republican control. It quotes a Republican donor and oil drilling executive who says the Democratic candidate will not be able to “ram…a costly, zero-carbon mandate” through a Republican Senate. Instead, Biden will have to rely on federal agencies adapting “decades-old laws” to address climate change, but such regulations may face tough scrutiny in federal courts “reshaped” by more than 200 Trump-appointed judges, Bloomberg notes. The Financial Times reports that US oil-and-gas stocks rose and those of renewable energy producers fell on Wednesday in response to the likely lack of a Democratic majority in the Senate. It states that while $2tn of spending on clean energy had been pledged by Biden during his campaign, this proposal now “hangs in the balance” and looks especially unlikely given the Supreme Court’s recent shift to the right under the Trump administration. The newspaper quotes Bob McNally, a former adviser to President George W Bush, who says “court-packing, adding states and large tax hikes on oil and gas companies go out the window”. In its coverage, S&P Global Platts reports that the lack of a “strong blue wave” the Democrats had hoped for meant the ability to use the budget-reconciliation process or eliminate the filibuster, both moves discussed in the context of passing climate legislation, now looked unlikely.

    In contrast, Reuters quotes a lobbyist who suggests that Biden’s relationships with senators formed over decades could help him push some “modest legislation” on energy and climate. InsideClimate News echoes the point that there could be some moderate progress in a Republican-majority Senate, but notes that the party “have not so far put forward any comprehensive climate plans”. The website also reports that Democrats will still control the House of Representatives, where they will likely “continue to press for action on climate change”. For more on the climate policies of both candidates and their parties, see Carbon Brief’s US election tracker, which compares the Democrat and Republican positions on climate change and energy. Analysis in Axios looks specifically at “climate’s role in the chaotic election”.

    Following the US departure from the Paris Agreement, which coincided with the election, Reuters reports that a Japanese government spokesman has called the decision “extremely regrettable”. A New York Times article states that if the US rejoins the agreement, as Biden says he intends to, the country would find it has “a lot of catching up to do to both reduce emissions and rebuild trust with its international allies”. Climate Home News reports that climate campaigners have “reacted angrily” to Donald Trump’s unfounded claim that he won the presidential election. Its coverage quotes several activists criticising the president and calling on the authorities to “count every vote”.

    In other US politics news, the Washington Post reports that the Trump administration has proposed a “mainstream climate scientist”, Betsy Weatherhead, to lead the next National Climate Assessment. “Her appointment stands in sharp contrast to two recent high-level political hires…[and is] also is in contrast to the climate change views of President Trump,” the article notes.

    It's normal to feel anxious or overwhelmed by climate change, says psychologist Renée Lertzman. Can we turn those feelings into something productive? In an affirming talk, Lertzman discusses the emotional effects of climate change and offers insights on how psychology can help us discover both the creativity and resilience needed to act on environmental issues.

    https://projectinsideout.net/

    Project InsideOut seeks to create a new mindset for engaging communities on our urgent climate and sustainability issues. We are a Resource Hub that brings together activists and clinical psychologists to drive sustainable behavior change for our planet. We provide practical tools based on evidence-based research and clinical best practices that sustainability leaders and advocates can apply directly to their work.

    Project InsideOut - YouTube
    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfNzAOB0aoivDlL2engycKA


    We have launched this Hub with an invitation for the climate campaigning community to self-assess our theories of change and to shift our mind sets and skill sets toward Guiding. This is less of a methodology as a set of robust, flexible and powerful Guiding Principles. Within each Guiding Principle are applications for your work, whether it informs how you understand your stakeholders and members, or designing your entire engagement strategy. Our hope is that this is taken as a holistic approach, and you experiment and practice with each other and colleagues.

    ...

    While PIO draws strongly on the best practices in clinical psychological research, this is not all about feelings. This is about addressing the complex and messy experiential dimensions of engaging with climate change and how we, as a human society, will change. These are cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions, which as our Quadrant illustrates, are integrated and must be joined up. Our work is about meeting people where they are, engaging everyone as partners and stakeholders in this work, and bringing a high level of “emotional intelligence” to what we do. We also recognize the highly varied and diverse lived experiences, perspectives, and conditions across human communities and populations. We are grounded in the respect and belief that there is no “right way” to engage with these issues across culture and societal contexts. That said, based on our extensive experience and research, we assert acknowledging and addressing our feelings is a vital and often missing piece of our work.

    ...



    we’re always a combination of approaches across the Quadrant.

    We tend to prioritize certain theories of change over others, depending on our background, training, personal preferences, organizational culture, and trends in the field.

    However, as practitioners, it’s vital that we are aware and intentional about what theories of change we choose to use, where our biases are, and if we are relying too heavily on one or two approaches to driving scalable, systemic, and transformative change. What is the story your results tell about you, your organization, and the field?

    Where can you grow? What might be opportunities to build new capabilities? What underlying assumptions are in need of revisiting and challenging?

    ...

    We have found the Experiential quadrant is least understood and applied. Many of us have used tactics from social marketing, challenges, pledges, nudges, feedback systems, tools and resources, data visualization, positive and inspiring storytelling—but maybe haven’t addressed people’s Three As, used conversation-based platforms or applied a more emotionally honest approach. This is due to a number of reasons mainly because this orientation reflects a leading edge of our work, research, and innovation in the field. Hence, Project InsideOut’s mission and purpose.

    Earth Emotions: New Words for a New World: Albrecht, Glenn A.: 9781501715228: Amazon.com: Books
    https://www.amazon.com/Earth-Emotions-New-Words-World/dp/1501715224

    dl: http://gen.lib.rus.ec/book/index.php?md5=C7B231807B3F51531FEDBB0BBD3D13B0

    Earth Emotions is a bracing attempt to advance the debate on global heating, which constitutes a human health and identity crisis, Albrecht convincingly argues, alongside a widening biological and social catastrophe. In going forward, we will need to address that psychological and existential damage too, and the concept of solastalgia helpfully alerts us to the unique form of "desolation" that arises when the fauna and flora, the weather and the seasons change around us (p. 38)—a negative mindset that will only spread and intensify as those changes accelerate in the coming years. Like climate change, solastalgia is here to stay, and Albrecht skillfully explains its features via detailed comparisons with related forms of ecological grief and hope. Furthermore, Albrecht is right that our course can only be reversed with the help of a new cultural narrative that counteracts bad "Earth emotions" like ecophobia (p. ix) without parroting facile slogans involving "sustainability" and "resilience" (p. 93), and that underlines the priority of the planet we are living on—in sharp contrast to the fantasies of entrepreneurial "space invaders" like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk (p. 161). In line with recent research on vegetal life and multispecies knots, Albrecht also makes a compelling case that this new cultural narrative should cultivate empathy for animals, plants, and fungi, and for symbiotic processes involving life forms that are invisible to the human senses, like the bacterial life inside our bodies and inside the earth's crust. In one memorable example of this multispecies entanglement, he explains how small kangaroo-like marsupials called woylies help to make water and nutrients available to Australian woodland ecosystems by digging into the soil and breaking up waxy eucalyptus residues that otherwise turn the ground hard and water-repellent (p. 125). Instead of adopting the morose tone of much Anthropocene discourse, moreover, Albrecht feels that this new narrative should provide optimistic conceptual tools for what he names "Generation Symbiocene" (p. xi). Those who want to address ecological grief will accordingly find an invigorating roadmap here, which follows a confident trajectory from negative to positive earth emotions.

    THROUGH THE DOOR: a therapeutic practice for the commons. Next Event: 28th November 2020.
    https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/...ic-practice-for-the-commons-next-event-insert-date-here

    In these experiential workshops we will explore issues such as what happens when:

    * collective anxiety leads to dysfunctional activations
    * symptoms such as helplessness, grief and resentment are widespread but denied
    * the articulation, witnessing and validation of such feelings is difficult
    * boundaries and permissions for therapeutic comment are ambiguous

    This can happen with chance encounters of those interested in climate and Covid-19 matters or through the intentional convening of climate cafés and other specific groups, whether through Zoom or not. While we may be trained to stay with the client’s difficulties and attend to unconscious process, the very different context of more public events requires an unlearning of expectable therapy transactions and an opening to new opportunities to be with the process.

    ‘Going through the door’ evokes the liminal space of transiting a cultural threshold, a passage through the uncertainty that requires relinquishing the ‘normal’ and being open to another reality. Our training and practice may have allowed us to tolerate the anxiety that goes with this transition and hence we can be containers and even catalysts for transformation. The workshop intends to give a taste of this and also encourage practical explorations such as with Climate Cafés where such skills can be brought to fruition.

    CPA Newsletter October 2020 - Climate Crisis Digest: Meeting the future that's arrived.
    https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/...s/485-cpa-newsletter-october-2020-climate-crisis-digest

    The second article, by two ecological economists, Kaitlin Kish and Stephen Quilley, homes in on some “wicked dilemmas” facing left-leaning liberals who accept the principle of biophysical limits to world economic growth. In environmental politics, they say, there is a dominant assumption that the transition to green living can be effected within the liberal norms of the sovereign individual and human rights. Their analysis of systemic complexity leads them to believe that change will be more profound than that, more conflictual and involve ‘social psychological harm’.

    They add that the idea of the “good life” and its underpinning mythos will need thoroughgoing reimagining as part of the ‘project of creating an alternative modernity for the Anthropocene’ (by “Anthropocene”, they refer to the complex of ecological and climate crises).

    This analysis showed up the space – the space that requires a climate psychology – for psycho-cultural work in imagining what is involved in the transition that we are now living. I realise how blocked my own imagination is when it comes to a textured, realistic vision of our present and future predicament, which faces the bad as well as taking comfort from the good. Mourning the particulars of what feels lost is an appropriate place to tune in; it can bring home what is already happening. For example, every time I go out into a street and, for the first time that day, see a masked face, my heart sinks in dismay. If I am already feeling frayed, loss with its ingredients of sadness and anger reoccupy me. Wearing a mask, the smile with which I greet a wider human world does not reach its destinations.

    Towards an Ecopsychotherapy - Kindle edition by Rust, Mary-Jayne. Health, Fitness & Dieting Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
    https://www.amazon.com/Towards-an-Ecopsychotherapy/dp/B086VW6B3J/

    Psychotherapy invites us to tell the story of our human relationships; ecopsychotherapy expands this to include our earth story, the context or continuum in which our human relationships sit.
    Ecopsychotherapy is not simply a technique to be applied in therapy: it involves a change in perspective. While practising therapy outdoors is a radical shift that can support and facilitate the healing process, it also acknowledges that our relationship with the earth is both inside and outside ourselves.
    As climate chaos quickens and increasing numbers of people are waking up to the seriousness of our environmental crisis, we are becoming more aware of our dysfunctional relationship with the earth – the body on whom we depend for everything. Ecopsychotherapy can help to support our reconnection with nature and to discover hope in turbulent times.

    Anthropocene Psychology: Being Human in a More-than-Human World - 1st
    https://www.routledge.com/...ology-Being-Human-in-a-More-than-Human-World/Adams/p/book/9781138570252

    Through a series of strange encounters between human and nonhuman worlds, Adams argues for the importance of cultivating attentiveness to the specific and situated ways in which the fates of multiple species are bound together in the Anthropocene. Throughout the book this argument is put into practice, incorporating everything from Pavlov’s dogs, broiler chickens, urban trees, grazing sheep and beached whales, to argue that the Anthropocene can be good to think with, conducive to a seeing ourselves and our place in the world with a renewed sense of connection, responsibility and love.

    Building on developments in feminist and social theory, anthropology, ecopsychology, environmental psychology, (post)humanities, psychoanalysis and phenomenology, this is fascinating reading for academics and students in the field of critical psychology, environmental psychology, and human–animal studies.


    Anthropocene Psychology: Being Human in a More than Human World by Matthew Adams (Routledge 2020)
    https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/...a-more-than-human-world-by-matthew-adams-routledge-2020

    To accept the Anthropocene as invitation, we must recognise and help articulate deeply felt losses as a starting point for action, but we can also strive, however awkwardly and imperfectly, to break out of the explanatory models that have for so long held ‘nature’ as an inert and malleable backdrop to a human drama, and embrace and develop a more lively, animated narrative of reciprocal relationality. This requires ‘two-eyed seeing’: ‘to learn from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of western knowledges and ways of knowing’ (Arsenault, 2018); ‘not integrating, but weaving knowledges so that each way of seeing maintains its own integrity, while enhancing perspective and broadening understanding’ (Diver et al., 2019, p. 4). (Adams pp. 135-136)

    CPA Newsletter November 2020 - Climate Crisis Digest: Petromasculinity.
    CPA Newsletter November 2020 - Climate Crisis Digest: Petromasculinity.
    https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/...er-november-2020-climate-crisis-digest-petromasculinity

    For Dagett, ‘Taking petro-masculinity seriously means paying attention to the thwarted desires of privileged patriarchies as they lose their fossil fantasies.’ A trend in the US called “rollin’ coal” enacts in ritual fashion what Dagett succinctly sums up as ‘fossil fuel violence experienced as masculinised power’. ‘Rollin’ coal involves retro-fitting a diesel truck so that its engine can be flooded with excess gas, producing thick plumes of black smoke.’ An old practice in the world of diesel truck racing, in 2014 rollin’ coal went on to the roads to protest against environmental protections. Reading this, I think I learned something about the sacredness of fossil fuels to many Modern men that I’d not appreciated before.

    ...

    When petro-masculinity is at stake, climate denial is best understood through desire, rather than as a failure of scientific communication or reason. In other words, an attachment to the righteousness of fossil fuel lifestyles, and to all the hierarchies that depend upon fossil fuel, produces a desire to not just deny, but to refuse climate change. Refusing climate change is distinct from ignoring climate change, which is effectively what many people who otherwise acknowledge its reality do.

    Keynote Speech Prof Johan Rockström & CEO Pavan Sukhdev
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qPW726ymbw



    Something we have to think about is a new lens for looking at food, because too much we have focused on just per hectare productivity as the way forward. The problem with doing that is of course we forget that food is about a billion jobs, it's about nutrition, it's about health, it's about culture, it's about all of these things. And yet, when we come to measuring food, we just look at per hectare productivity. We need a much more comprehensive lens - a lens that shows that we are actually flying a spaceship rather than navigating a ship with a mariners compass, that kind of lens.

    And the question then arises - isn't it too difficult to calculate all these impacts? Can you for instance calculate the impact of agrochemical compounds on human health? The surprising good answer is yes, you can. It's already been done for endocrine disruptors. This was work done for the European Inion -- 150 billion dollars worth of costs. Others will ask you: Fine, even if you know these costs and these answers, why would a poor country ever worry about this, because all they want is cheap food? But the reality is that's not true. We have Sri Lanka which already has a three-year plan for a toxin-free Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka in response to the World Health Organization warning on glyphosates has already banned glyphosates. And that's a developing country.

    Then others will ask you: Okay, fine, we accept that this is possible to calculate through a new lens and it's maybe going to be responded to by developing countries, but why would investors worry about this? Why would investors worry about sustainability? But the interesting thing is even here we have a surprising answer for you that yes, investors do worry. In fact almost a tenth of the total debt and equity assets in the world - 215 trillion dollars - 21.3 trillion of those are being examined through the lens of sustainability today. This is an increase of almost 30 percent per year over the last two years, so yes, investors are taking serious note. They are looking at companies and their value chains and what would companies do with their value chains. So the big challenge here is that we all know that we need a transformation towards a sustainable future that food plays a central role to achieve. This is tremendous challenge, but it also has to occur at a rapid, rapid pace. We only have basically one generation to make this transition to a fossil fuel-free sustainable future. The big question then is: Is it possible to leverage the 10 percent that today already invest in sustainability to get the other 90 percent to move? We've been exploring this by for example looking at the seafood industry. What we find is that in the thousands of actors you see on x-axis here there are 13 outliers that actually represent up to 40 percent of the economy in the seafood industry, 13 outliers that fish across the entire ocean spectrum on the planet and who are drivers of aquaculture and policy influence. These 13 is what we today call keystone actors.

    The big question is what if we were able to transition into logic of having a transformation towards prosperity, towards revenue and profit within a safe operating space in this structure of the SDGs. What if we were able to get these companies to show that yes we can, yes, it makes sense to have sustainability as the entry point for a secure revenue pathway, and cut us off from this prisoner's dilemma that large parts of the actors are today - the dilemma that if i'm sustainable on wide ocean, others will fish that ocean the day after. This has led to one option for this "david and goliath" type strategy, where in fact alliances for success today in the world, even if they only represent 10 as the finances are today, could actually tip over the remaining 90, and that is what we're hoping that this eat forum could actually inspire. Science says let's put the wedding cake of the SDGs into the plate, let's think of a paradigm shift of truly seeing our planet as a non-negotiable, but not as a limitation for prosperity, transformation and success. In fact, food is a prerequisite for that success. If we can really succeed on food, we will succeed for people and we will succeed for planet. There is clearly a partnership between science, business and policy in such a transition.
