    Climate protesters are getting ready for a year to remember - New Statesman

    Nearly 5 per cent of Americans also say they would willingly participate in civil disobedience to demand action on global warming, according to research published last week. That may sound like a small number but it is higher than the 3.5 per cent of a population that Erica Chenoweth, a Harvard political scientist, argues is needed if nonviolent protest is to achieve political change.

    The finding is a further sign that concern about climate change has reached a tipping point. In the UK environmental issues topped a poll of public worries last November for the first time since 1989. Extinction Rebellion will probably take heart from that, and recent acquittals of climate activists in British courts, as it announces its latest strategy for mass mobilisation and nonviolent civil resistance in April.

    ...

    This month the House of Lords threw out all of the last-minute amendments to the Policing Bill. These included attempts to criminalise the standard tactic of protesters locking themselves on to something, used as far back as the Suffragettes, and additions that would have broadened police powers to stop and search.

    The bill continues to pose a threat as it returns to the House of Commons, warns the human rights group Liberty, which has been calling for its damaging proposals to be scrapped in their entirety. Roma, gypsy and traveller people are particularly targeted, and it could still introduce harsh sentences for anyone unknowingly breaching police conditions imposed on peaceful protests.

    In its wake, however, the legislation is also creating an increasingly diverse coalition of pro-environment and pro-rights opposition. “We are starting to see new relationships forming through this campaign, between racial, social and climate justice activists,” says Bhavini Patel, a co-founder of Extinction Rebellion Unify, which has been campaigning against the legislation. “It’s brilliant this bridge is emerging.”

    ...

    “In the past few months, we’ve definitely grown as an organisation,” says Jon Bonifacio of Youth Advocates for Climate Action in the Philippines, where the devastating Typhoon Rai struck in December and an election is planned for May. “We need to see a change of leadership into something more sustainable and just.”

    World’s biggest firms failing over net-zero claims, research suggests | Greenhouse gas emissions | The Guardian
    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/06/amazon-ikea-nestle-biggest-carbon-net-zero-claims

    Some of the world’s biggest businesses are failing to live up toclaims they will hit net-zero emissions targets, according to research that suggests they will cut their carbon emissions by only 40% rather than the 100% cuts claimed.

    Household names such as Amazon, Ikea, Nestlé and Unilever are among the companies named as showing little substance to their claims that they will cut emissions drastically.

    It is not clear these reductions take us beyond business as usual,” he said. “We were very disappointed and surprised at how much room for improvement there was [among the companies studied]. Companies need to be much more transparent about these goals.”

    Near-term targets were of particular concern, he added. The report showed that the companies surveyed would only cut their emissions by about 23% on average by 2030, falling far short of the figure of nearly halving in the next decade that scientists say is needed to limit global heating to 1.5C. “It’s short-term action that’s the most important thing, in the climate crisis,” he said.

    Many are relying on carbon offsetting for a large portion of their projected cuts. Carbon offsetting is the controversial practice of paying for projects that reduce carbon dioxide – usually by maintaining forests or growing new trees – to compensate for greenhouse gases emitted elsewhere.

    Konec lovu velryb. Island plánuje opustit uvadající byznys už za dva roky - Aktuálně.cz

    Je jen málo důkazů, že tato činnost má nějaké ekonomické výhody," komentovala rozhodnutí ministryně rybolovu a zemědělství Svandís Svavarsdóttirová, poslankyně za stranu Zelených. "Existuje jen málo argumentů pro povolení lovu velryb v roce 2024, po vypršení současných kvót," doplnila.

    ...

    V loňském roce norští rybáři harpunovali 575 velryb, což je méně než polovina povolené kvóty. Použili k tomu 14 lodí, které jsou stále v provozu.

    A Deep-Rooted Prairie Myth | The Prairie Ecologist
    https://prairieecologist.com/2019/09/17/a-deep-rooted-prairie-myth/

    prairie grasses and wildflowers have very deep roots, but research over the last decade or so has built a strong case against the idea that those plants use their deep roots to find moisture during times of scarcity. In fact, they might not be using them to draw moisture at all.

    'Real wake-up call': Mount Everest ice which took 2,000 years to form has melted in just 25
    https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/real-wake-up-call-mount-everest-ice-which-took-2-000-years-to-form-has-melted-in-just-25/

    "Ice on the South Col Glacier (SCG) has shrunk 80 times faster than it formed, according to a new report published by international scientific journal, Nature.

    Research led by the University of Maine in the US found around 55m (180ft) of ice has been lost.

    Now scientists say ice which took decades to accumulate could rapidly recede - amid fears the rest of the glacier could disappear within the next 25 years."

    Vegetation, water infiltration, and soil carbon response to Adaptive Multi-Paddock and Conventional grazing in Southeastern USA ranches - ScienceDirect
    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301479722001499

    We examine Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazed with short grazing events and planned recovery periods and paired ranches using Conventional Continuous Grazing (CG) at low stock density on vegetation, water infiltration, and soil carbon across SE USA. Increased vegetation standing biomass and plant species dominance-diversity were measured in AMP grazed ranches. Invasive perennial plant species richness and abundance increased with AMP grazing in the south, while in the north they increased on CG grazed ranches. Percent bare ground was significantly greater in CG at the Alabama and Mississippi sites, no different at the Kentucky and mid-Alabama sites, and greater on AMP at the Tennessee pair. On average, surface water infiltration was higher on AMP than paired CG ranches. Averaged over all locations, soil organic carbon stocks to a depth of 1 m were over 13% greater on AMP than CG ranches, and standing crop biomass was >300% higher on AMP ranches. AMP grazing supported substantially higher livestock stocking levels while providing significant improvements in vegetation, soil carbon, and water infiltration functions. AMP grazing also significantly increased available forage nutrition for key constituents, and increased soil carbon to provide significant resource and economic benefits for improving ecological health, resilience, and durability of the family ranch.

    Climate change: The science briefing that convinced Boris Johnson - BBC News
    https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-60203674

    "I got them to run through it all and, if you look at the almost vertical kink upward in the temperature graph, the anthropogenic climate change, it's very hard to dispute. That was a very important moment for me," Mr Johnson told reporters on the prime ministerial plane.

    He has also described it as his "road to Damascus" on climate - a phrase from the bible meaning a turning point in someone's life.

    Some climate experts have told the BBC they are surprised the prime minister was not already familiar with much of the material in the briefing.

    A version of the temperature graph that made such an impression on Mr Johnson plays a key role in Al Gore's 2006 film and book, An Inconvenient Truth, for example.

    "It is shocking he only had his Damascene moment in 2020 given how much effort scientists have made to communicate the risks of climate change over the years," said Emily Shuckburgh, head of Cambridge Net Zero, the university's climate change initiative.

    There's new evidence, collected from orbiting satellites, that oil and gas companies are routinely venting huge amounts of methane into the air.

    ...

    Over the course of two years, during 2019 and 2020, the researchers counted more than 1,800 large bursts of methane, often releasing several tons of methane per hour. Lauvaux and his colleagues published their findings this week in the journal Science.

    ...

    According to the researchers, the large releases of methane that they detected accounted for 8-12% of global methane emissions from oil and gas infrastructure during that time.
