    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.

Udělat technologický startup který slíbí fúzi za pár let je příliš lákavý, takže se do toho asi rádo investuje jako do rizikový invesitce.(...) trošku děsivé je že 10 let pracoval ve firmě, po které se slehla zem"

    A dovolím se zeptat - existuje nějaká mapa, která mi ukáže, kde je nejpravděpodobnější, že děti mých děti budou mit příjemnej život? (V globálním měřítku samozřejmě a příjemným životem myslím místo, kde bude jakžtakž stabilní klima, nebude to v zadnejch migracnich trasách, nebude hrozit potopa etc. - proste místo s nejvyšší šanci na přežití a žití)

    Animated short film "Sad Beauty" (2020) - by Arjan Brentjes
    https://youtu.be/RBjPpJHddSM


    An Artist’s Imagining of Life After Humanity | The New Yorker
    https://www.newyorker.com/culture/screening-room/an-artists-imagining-of-life-after-humanity

    it was not his main intent to sound an alarm about climate collapse. People interested in the film, he pointed out, are likely already concerned with the environment, and don’t need anyone to tell them about the dangers of climate change. Instead, Brentjes hopes that “Sad Beauty” provides viewers with an “extreme form of consolation.” Around the time he came up with the seeds of what would eventually become the film, Brentjes had been watching documentaries about nature, deep time, and the history of the cosmos. As he watched them, he found an unexpected source of solace—bacteria. “I discovered that bacteria were around for, like, three billion years. And they were, in a way, the basis of life. At some point, [humans] are there, but we are also just carrying the original life of the world around with us, which are the bacteria,” he told me. (A study from the National Institutes of Health estimates that the ratio of bacterial to human cells in the typical person is about one to one.) “And then I thought, Well, it’s actually quite beautiful.”

    Brentjes’s musings echo those of the biologist E. O. Wilson, whose work has shaped our understanding of biodiversity on Earth. Wilson, too, has contemplated the horror of extinction: “Deeper than despair, more terrifying than death, is the thought that everything in time will disappear, that all we have been and will become will leave no trace whatsoever,” he writes. But he also believes that it is possible for humans to envision “a different kind of immortality,” beyond the thriving of our own species. That possibility, Wilson writes, “resides in those remnants of the natural world we have not yet destroyed. The rest of life is a parallel world. It could exist and continue evolving for what to the human mind is an eternity.” This is the “extreme form of consolation” that Brentjes hopes to offer through his film. He told me, “We have to try to make the best of it on Earth, but if we don’t succeed there is still beauty. There will be beauty in one million years on this planet

    Few willing to change lifestyle to save the planet, climate survey finds | Environment | The Guardian
    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/nov/07/few-willing-to-change-lifestyle-climate-survey

    PUBLIC Journal 04
    https://kantar.turtl.co/story/public-journal-04/page/1

    when asked to rate their individual action against others’ such as governments, business and the media, people generally saw themselves as much more committed to the environment than others in their local community, or any institution.

    About 36% rated themselves “highly committed” to preserving the planet, while only 21% felt the same was true of the media and 19% of local government. A mere 18% felt their local community was equally committed, with national governments (17%) and big corporations (13%) seen as even less engaged.

    Respondents were also lukewarm about doing more themselves, citing a wide range of reasons. Most (76%) of those surveyed across the 10 countries said they would accept stricter environmental rules and regulations, but almost half (46%) felt that there was no real need for them to change their personal habits.

    ...

    Respondents viewed measures likely to affect their own lifestyles, however, as significantly less important: reducing people’s energy consumption was seen as a priority by only 32%, while favouring public transport over cars (25%) and radically changing our agricultural model (24%) were similarly unpopular.

    Only 23% felt that reducing plane travel and charging more for products that did not respect environmental norms were important to preserve the planet, while banning fossil fuel vehicles (22%) and reducing meat consumption (18%) and international trade (17%) were seen as even lower priorities.

    “Citizens are undeniably concerned by the state of the planet, but these findings raise doubts regarding their level of commitment to preserving it,” the study said. “Rather than translating into a greater willingness to change their habits, citizens’ concerns are particularly focused on their negative assessment of governments’ efforts.”

    Nitrogen fertilizer shortage threatens to cut global crop yields -CF Industries
    https://news.yahoo.com/nitrogen-fertilizer-shortage-threatens-cut-183225935.html

    Prices of nitrogen fertilizer, one of the most commonly used fertilizers to boost production of corn, canola and other crops, are at their highest levels in more than a decade.

    Hurricane Ida also hit CF's ammonia plants in Louisiana in late August, forcing them to halt production.

    Strong global fertilizer demand looks set to last into at least 2023, CF Senior Vice-President of Sales Bert Frost said.

    U.S.-based CF's predictions of constrained crop production echo those last month of Norwegian rival Yara International ASA , which warned rising fertilizer costs would drive up food prices and could lead to famine.

    Russia will limit exports of nitrogen fertilizers for six months to try to curb any further increase in food prices, its prime minister said on Wednesday. China is also limiting nitrogen exports.



    The energy-fertilizer-population nexus | The age of loss
    https://theageofloss.wordpress.com/2021/11/01/the-energy-fertilizer-population-nexus/

    Natural gas is an essential ingredient for the production of nitrogen fertilizer. It is used as feedstock for fertilizer, for heating the process and for producing electricity for the production process. Due to the high natural gas prices, Yara, one of the largest fertilizer producers in the world has cut its production in Europe by 40%. In the UK two important fertilizer plants also stopped their production due to the high natural gas prices. Also Fertiberia, a Spanish fertilizer company, closed one of its production plants in October.

    ...

    around half of the world’s population depends on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers to meet their nutritional needs. It is therefore imperative to address this situation as soon as possible in order to avoid a worldwide fertilizer shortage with dire consequences. And in the long run it is of course important to build a more resilient local agricultural system that is far less dependent on chemical fertilizers

    Jedno procento nejbohatších lidí světa je na cestě k tomu, aby mělo až 30krát vyšší uhlíkovou stopu, než je zapotřebí k tomu, aby se globální oteplování omezilo na 1,5 stupně Celsia. Naopak emise nejchudších 50 procent populace klimatické cíle nepřevyšují. S odkazem na výzkum dvou evropských environmentálních agentur o tom informuje zpravodajský web BBC.

    Can Digital Replica of Earth Save the World from Climate Disaster? - Scientific American
    https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-digital-replica-of-earth-save-the-world-from-climate-disaster/

    The goal of this planetary megamodel is to simulate the effects of various natural processes and human activities on the planet and model scenarios of future evolution. For example, scientists might be able to model how replacing fossil fuel energy generation in a certain region with renewable power plants changes concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and how that shift, in turn, affects the rate of sea level rise.

    Climate depression is real. And it is spreading fast among our youth | Peter Kalmus | The Guardian
    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/nov/04/climate-depression-youth-crisis-world-leaders

    The climate mental health crisis is already hitting those who have lost everything in worsening climate infernos. It’s already hitting farmers in Australia, India and elsewhere who face serious and sometimes insurmountable challenges growing food in a rapidly changing climate (which, incidentally, should be a climate wake-up call for anyone who eats). It’s hitting Indigenous and vulnerable communities, for whom climate breakdown is the culmination of centuries of colonial and social oppression. It’s hitting parents, who feel unable to protect their children; I sometimes cry while talking about climate breakdown when I think about my kids. And of course, it’s hitting young people.

    ...

    A recent survey by a team of psychologists probed the climate anxiety felt by 10,000 young people aged 16-25 from countries in the global south and north. In the survey, 77% said “the future is frightening”, 68% feel sad, and 63% feel anxious. 39% feel “hesitant to have children”. This distress correlates with a belief that climate action from governments is inadequate

    ...


    Therapy can help people struggling with climate anxiety and depression; but since climate emotions are driven by real, intensifying, physical processes on Earth, therapy only treats the symptom. Something that helps me is being part of a vibrant community of activists. I could not handle the weight of this knowledge if I had to do so alone.

    However, as everything gets worse – and unfortunately it will get worse – we’re all going to need more than friends, as important as they are. We’re also going to need a sense that, collectively, society is finally heading in the right direction, with emergency speed

    ...

    It is psychologically devastating to feel climate and ecological catastrophe closing in every day while watching those in power not only failing to act, but actively making things worse by expanding the fossil fuel industry. Instead of more empty words and distractions, humanity desperately needs real action. World leaders must orchestrate a rapid end to the fossil fuel industry, for the sake of us all – but especially for the sake of young people.
