    From ecologist to thanatologist

    “When I was forced to actually confront my identity, I realized that I’m no longer doing what I thought I was. My whole life has been documenting how life works, how we can conserve species that are in trouble. I was no longer cataloging life and finding ways to prevent ecosystems from reaching tipping points. I had actually hit my own tipping point. Somewhere along the way, I had gone from being an ecologist to a coroner. I am no longer documenting life. I’m describing loss, decline, death. And that is what is accounting for my kind of overwhelming sense of grief.

    A neco o lithiu

    Věslav Michalik
    Andrej Babiš tvrdí, že zabránil krádeži českého lithia v hodnotě 2 biliónů korun, že teď má vše pod kontrolou český stát a že pro český průmysl je to transakce nevyčíslitelné hodnoty. Po bližším zkoumání lze snadno zjistit, že nejde o bilióny, ale o částky minimálně tisíckrát menší. Že význam pro průmysl nebude nijak průlomový, protože technologie dodají cizí firmy a naše budoucí produkce lithia bude stačit pro výrobu pouze stovek tisíc automobilových baterií ročně. A i s tou kontrolou je to trochu jinak. Prostě další předvolební pohádka z marketingové dílny hnutí ANO.

    Vezměme to ale po pořádku.
    Bilióny korun. Celkové zásoby bohatých rud (obsah cca 0,24% Li) jsou odhadovány na 70 milionů tun, což odpovídá cca 860 tisícům Li2CO3, což při ceně 7 tisíc dolarů za tunu představuje cca 130 miliard Kč tržeb. Ale za jak dlouhé období? Kdybychom těžili ložisko maximální možnou rychlostí 2 mil tun rudy ročně, vytěžili bychom relativně bohaté vyhledané zásoby za 35 let. Na jeden rok těžby přibližně 3,7 mld Kč. To jsou roční tržby českého středně velkého podniku. Odečteme-li náklady na vybudování těžebního závodu, zpracování rudy a metalurgického závodu a roční provozní náklady, nezůstane skoro nic.
    Český průmysl. Australská technologie navrhuje velmi jemné mletí celého objemu vytěžené rudy, tedy kolem 2 milionů tun ročně. To bude energeticky extrémně náročné a výsledkem této technologie je zcela nepoužitelný odpad ve formě jemného bláta, který je navíc ekologicky nebezpečný z hlediska znečištění spodních vod. Australská technologie taky znamená subdodávky technologických celků od zahraničních dodavatelů, takže náš průmysl spíše utře nos. Přesto by to dávalo smysl, kdyby to přineslo nezávislost našeho autolandu na dodávkách ze zahraničí. Výše uvedená čísla ukazují, že jsme schopni ročně vyprodukovat cca 5 tisíc tun lithia. Baterie do elektroauta potřebuje 0,15-0,3 kg lithia na kWh. Auto s rozumným dojezdem potřebuje baterii s výkonem 50-100 kWh, takže jedno elektroauto potřebuje v průměru minimálně 10 kg lithia. Budoucí roční produkce by tak pokryla výrobu baterií pro maximálně pět set tisíc aut nebo jinak řečeno potřeby jedné gigafactory na autobaterie.
    Kontrola. Polostátní ČEZ odkoupil od australské společnosti European Metals Holding (EMH) prostřednictvím své dceřiné firmy Severočeské doly 51% podíl ve společnosti Geomet, která má na těžbu na Cínovci práva. Ale ve skutečnosti stát (ČEZ) nemá možnost ovlivnit budoucí technologie těžby, úpravy a získávání rudných koncentrátů, ani jejich následného metalurgického zpracování. Výběr technologií je totiž delegován německé společnosti SMS Group, se kterou má původní vlastník EMH nadstandardní vztahy. Podle kupní smlouvy mezi ČEZ a EMH nesmí nový majoritní vlastník do procesu nezávislého výběru technologií zasahovat. Takže vlk se nažral, koza ale zůstala téměř celá.
    Baterie, podobně jako čipy, jsou strategickým produktem. Je jistě dobré, pokud by západní svět a Česko byli alespoň částečně nezávislí na čínském dovozu. Čísla však jasně ukazují, že náš lithiový poklad ve skutečnosti pokladem není, ani finančním a ani strategickým.

    Zajimavy info o rustu vetsiny atolu (pres rust hladin oceanu)...

    "You can still see an island grow at a time when most people and most models would suggest they should be eroding," said the study's co-author Murray Ford, an expert in Pacific reef island systems from Auckland University.
    Ford and Paul Kench, from Simon Fraser University in Canada, compared the island's land mass in aerial photos from 1943 and 2015. They also radiocarbon-dated sediment deposited on the island to find out when the coral remnants were alive, and discovered that sediment on parts of the island had been deposited after 1950, suggesting the island's growth is relatively new.
    At the same time, global sea levels have been rising. Satellite data shows waters around the Marshall Islands have risen about 7 millimeters (0.3 inches) each year since 1993, according to a Pacific Climate Change Science country report. That's more than the global average of 2.8 to 3.6 millimeters (0.11 to 0.14 inches) per year.

    TUHO: Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA, slammed what he characterized as the hypocrisy of rich governments that promised a green recovery from the pandemic but have thus far refused "to put their money where their mouth is." Research published last month revealed that between January 2020 and March 2021, the governments of wealthy G7 nations poured tens of billions of dollars more into fossil fuels than renewable energy.

    The International Energy Agency warned Tuesday that global carbon dioxide emissions are on track to soar to record levels in 2023—and continue rising thereafter—as governments fail to make adequate investments in green energy and end their dedication to planet-warming fossil fuels.
    In a new report, IEA estimates that of the $16 trillion world governments have spent to prop up their economies during the coronavirus crisis, just 2% of that total has gone toward clean energy development.

    Emissions must fall 60% in 9 years & the IEA says zero new oil & gas projects for a hope of even ‘net’ zero. So it would be reasonable to assume laws are being passed to end exploration right? In fact, the world is on an oil & gas binge.

Pokud stát (a nadstátní organizace - EU apod.) udělá A, tedy podporuje elektromobilitu a hází klacky pod nohy výrobcům aut se spalovacími motory, tak musí udělat i B, tedy podporovat nabíjení.

    Deep crisis: Deep adaptation… | Polity – Blog
    https://politybooks.com/deep-crisis-deep-adaptation/

    https://www.wiley.com/en-cz/Deep+Adaptation%3A+Navigating+the+Realities+of+Climate+Chaos-p-9781509546855

    As we begin to emerge from a dark period of history dominated by the devastating Covid pandemic, many of us are therefore taking this opportunity to reassess things we previously took for granted: What parts of society really matters? How important is stuff? Love? Life itself? How should we work? How can we respond to future challenges? It is due to this new moment of reflection and re-consideration that I don’t think there could have been a more fitting time to release Deep Adaptation: Navigating the Realities of Climate Chaos, the new book I have co-authored with the originator of the deep adaptation concept, Jem Bendell. This will be the first book on the controversial subject of Deep Adaptation, and will advance from Bendell’s 2018 article “Deep Adaptation: A Map for Navigating Climate Tragedy” which has been downloaded more than a million times.

    Deep adaptation is an emerging philosophical and social movement that is concerned with how to prepare ourselves to minimise the damage of the potential (and increasingly likely) social, political, and environmental collapse the future threatens us with. As I see it, it by no means constitutes us giving up on trying preventing these calamities, but it is a reasonable and necessary philosophical and practical exercise to undergo when we are honest with ourselves about the pretty desperate situation we are in.

    2021 is a critical year in the future of the human race, and one that we are now almost halfway through. If the post-Covid ‘reset’ is not green, if it does not seriously confront the challenges and take swift measures to curtail the worst of pollution, emissions, and environmental destruction, then we accelerate toward collapse. With this in mind, how do we begin to talk to each other, reorganise communities, and learn to live under the shadow of the all-too-realistic possibility of societal collapse? This is quickly becoming one of the most important questions to ask, and humanity must come up with an answer. The conversation that our book attempts to spark is one that will deal with these issues head-on.

    Deep Adaptation is a growing school of thought, and the idea of adaptation is creeping steadily up the international agenda (it is a headline item at the autumn’s COP, for the first time ever). Despite this, it is still being taken nowhere near as seriously as ‘mitigation’/prevention. Why?: because once we start talking about or even doing adaptation, we can no longer deny how bad the situation is. And that is what most people are still uncomfortable doing. This failure to engage seriously with adaptation, let alone deep adaptation, risks being a form of tacit/soft climate-denial in action.

    Let me be frank: It’s time to prepare for the worst. But that is because, if we don’t prepare for the worst, we could get burnt the worst. I’m not giving up on the fight to stop our society undermining its own future existence, far from it! On the contrary, when I contemplate the likelihood of collapse, and the need therefore for deep adaptation, it makes me all the more determined to try to stop collapse, even if the chances of succeeding in doing so seem slim. But: not being willing to be honest enough to contemplate it isn’t going to help us.

    ...

    This book is systems-thinking for our time. It opens up a space for a debate that has been avoided for too long. We hope deeply that you will take up the invitation it offers.
