    Požáry se kvůli změnám klimatu stávají rozsáhlejšími a také déle hoří. Ten, který minulý týden vzplanul v jižním Oregonu na západě Spojených států, je letos zatím úplně největší v celé zemi. Kromě spálené půdy, zničených domů a tisícovek evakuovaných má tento požár ještě jeden další děsivý dopad: narušuje zemskou atmosféru a ovlivňuje počasí. Výsledkem tak mohou být ohnivá tornáda.

    Fire vs Fungi: our choice to cool the planet naturally and in time
    https://vimeo.com/391991020


    Fire vs Fungi: our choice to naturally cool the planet and in time' (14 min 30 sec) tells an overwhelmingly important, interconnected and inspiring story that uproots the narrative of 'doom and gloom' and replants it with an empowering 'yes, we can regenerate earth's bio-systems to cool the planet naturally and in time and reverse climate change.'

    It starts with cultivating more of the tiny superheroes literally underneath our feet to restore what's known as the Earth's natural carbon sponge.

    Wild fire incidence can be reduced, landscapes can be restored and rehydrated, vast tracts of Earth's arid lands can be regenerated.

    As we walk with climate scientist and soil micro-biologist Walter Jehne and outdoor educator Katja Hesse in the Rainforest Gully at the Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra, the conclusion is clear: 'We can naturally and safely cool this planet within years. Everywhere. We've got a planet to save.'

    Accompanying notes

    The rainforest was designed to recycle the water from its runoff via the mist to create the more mesic micro environment to enable the soil microbial and plant successions to occur. For most of the past 50 years it has developed largely on this basis more efficiently using and cycling the same rainfall that the adjacent dry woodland gets (but without this human-induced, small water cycle).

    Hence it is how the rain is used rather than how much rain is received that is the key variable in its development. The question now is does the rainforest canopy harvest more water from fogs and mist than the surrounding natural dry forest but the Australian National Botanic Gardens don’t have data on this.

    They have recently watered some areas that they have cleared to help establish introduced rainforest plants and to help survival in our drought but overall it has been established using the existing rainfall more efficiently. This is consistent with the natural occurrence of over 1200 patches of residual rainforest across northern Australia with some surviving in semi arid climates like central Australia by creating such micro-climates.

    Ono se řekne, že je jen průměrné léto, ale nám ten tepelný ostrov v centru Prahy usmaží antény, dnes jsem musel na spoustě antén posouvat treshold pro alerty až na 75 stupňů (asi to je kombinací přímého slunečního svitu a bezvětří).

    Ty tepelné ostrovy ve městech jsou zlo samy o sobě, a samozřejmě s tou klimatickou změnou to nutně jde ruku v ruce - mikroklimatická změna může nastartovat změny, třeba lokální sucho ,které pak mají dopad i na to mikroklima (zpomalí se odbourávání CO2)

Velký význam má tedy připomínat několik faktů a čísel, která jsou pro pochopení změny klimatu a role České republiky určující,“ tvrdí vědci. Například jen sedm procent respondentů a respondentek správně odpovědělo, že má Česko vyšší emise skleníkových plynů na hlavu než Indie, Čína nebo Velká Británie."

    TADEAS: Nechapu, proc si neobjednaj vodu z Ciny....

    At least 33 people are dead and 8 missing in Zhengzhou, China, after a July 20 extreme rainfall event of nearly unimaginable intensity. Zhengzhou, a megacity of more than 10 million – and the world’s biggest manufacturing base for iPhones and a major hub for food production and heavy industry – recorded an astonishing 644.6 mm (25.38 inches) of rain in the 24 hours ending at 21Z July 20. This is literally more than a year’s worth of rain: Its average annual precipitation (1981-2010 climatology) is only 640.9 mm (25.24 inches).

    Washington Post weather expert Jason Samenow: "Lined up like a parade, the heat domes are also part of a traffic jam of weather systems that instigated the flood disaster in Europe last week." Planetary waves!



    The Northern Hemisphere has a punishing heat wave infestation
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/07/20/heat-wave-northern-hemisphere/

    imrs

    no fewer than five powerful heat domes are swelling over the landmasses of the Northern Hemisphere. These zones of high pressure in the atmosphere, intensified by climate change, are generating unforgiving blasts of heat in North America, Europe and Asia simultaneously.

    ...

    The heat domes, in a number of instances, are the source of record high temperatures and are contributing to swarms of wildfires in western North America and in Siberia. In recent days, all-time record highs have been set in Turkey, northern Japan and Northern Ireland.

    Lined up like a parade, the heat domes are also part of a traffic jam of weather systems that instigated the flood disaster in Europe last week.

    Heat domes like this are normal at this time of year, the hottest point of summer, but it’s unusual to have this many this intense. Every one of these heat domes is generating exceptional weather.

    ...

    Scientists have determined that climate change is increasing the intensity of heat domes and making heat waves hotter than they would have been without human influence. This explains the frequency at which temperature records are being set every summer

    ...

    Climate change is expected to decrease the strength of steering currents as the high latitudes warm more quickly than the mid-latitudes, reducing the north-to-south temperature differences that drive the wind. According to a 2018 study from climate scientist Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University, weaker high altitude winds will produce a slower jet stream with more wavy peaks and troughs, which he ascribes to a process known as “quasi-resonant amplification

    ...

    The more wavy peaks are the breeding grounds for intensified heat domes, like we see spread around the Northern Hemisphere, while the troughs are the low-pressure zones that can set the stage for floods like we just saw in Germany and neighboring countries.

    Today’s air quality in New York City was the worst in more than 14 years. The concentration of fine particulate matter was seven times the @WHO's healthy limit.

    The cause? A plume of smoke spanning the entire continent.

    We are in a climate emergency.

    Currently — July 21st, 2021 | Revue
    https://www.getrevue.co/profile/currently/issues/currently-july-21st-2021-696727

    And it wasn't just NYC.

    The worst of the smoke stretched from western Canada to Minnesota to New England. Nearly every major city in the Northeast had dangerously unhealthy levels of air quality.

    2009 Super Wicked Problems and Climate Change: Restraining the Present to Liberate the Future
    https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/facpub/159/

    To be successful over the long term, climate change legislation will need to include institutional design features that insulate programmatic implementation to a significant extent from powerful political and economic interests propelled by short-term concerns. Such design features should include a variety of asymmetric precommitment strategies, which deliberately make it hard (never impossible) to change the law in response to some kinds of concerns while simultaneously providing avenues for change in response to other longer term concerns that are in harmony with the law’s central purpose—to achieve and maintain greenhouse gas emissions reductions over time. The traditional objection to lawmaking precommitment strategies—that the present should not be allowed to bind future lawmakers—also has little force in the climate change context, where the purpose of such strategies is not to protect the present at the expense of the future, but the precise opposite: to protect the future at the expense of the present.
