After Lockdown: A Metamorphosis | bruno-latour.fr
http://www.bruno-latour.fr/node/907.html

After the harrowing experience of the pandemic and the lockdowns, both states and individuals have been searching for ways to exit the crisis, hoping to return as soon as possible to 'the world as it was before the pandemic'. But there is another way to learn the lessons of this ordeal: as inhabitants of the earth, we may not be able to exit the lockdowns so easily after all, since the global health crisis is embedded in another larger and more serious crisis - that brought about by the New Climatic Regime. Learning to live in lockdown might be an opportunity to be seized: a dress-rehearsal for the climate mutation, an opportunity to understand at last where we - inhabitants of the earth - live, what kind of place 'earth' is and how we will be able to orient ourselves and exist in this world in the years to come. We might finally be able to explore the land in which we live, begin to understand the true nature of the climate mutation we are living through and discover what kind of freedom is possible - a freedom differently situated and differently understood.

In this sequel to Down to Earth, Bruno Latour provides a compass for this necessary re-orientation of our lives, outlining the metaphysics of confinement and deconfinement with which we will all be obliged to come to terms by the strange times in which we are living.

Loňské léto bylo v Evropě nejteplejší od začátku měření, teploty byly o jeden stupeň Celsia vyšší než průměr. Uvádí to nová zpráva evropské služby Copernicus, která monitoruje stav klimatu. Počasí v letních měsících doprovázely silné kontrasty. Zatímco jihoevropské státy v létě 2021 zaznamenaly rekordní počet extrémně horkých dnů a v Itálii a Španělsku padly dokonce teplotní rekordy, západ Evropy se potýkal se silnými dešti a záplavami. „Rok 2021 byl rokem extrémů, včetně nejteplejšího léta v Evropě, vln veder ve Středomoří, záplav a větrného sucha v západní Evropě,“ vyjmenoval ředitel služby Copernicus Carlo Buontempo.

VÝVOJ PRŮMĚRNÝCH TEPLOT

TO WHICH WE BELONG // TRAILER

Years of industrialized agriculture have brought the world to the brink of climate disaster. TO WHICH WE BELONG follows a new generation of farmers and ranchers who seek to rebuild their businesses and their planet by embracing the interconnectedness of living things.

On land long depleted by monocultured crops, Trey Hill fills the fields with colorful tangles of plant life, revivifying the soil and bringing new richness to the harvest. In Chihuahua, Mexico ranchers like Alejandro Carrillo practice revolutionary techniques in cattle herding, carving out space for wildlife to thrive again. And off the coast of Connecticut, Bren Smith re-seeds the ocean with kelp, mussels, oysters, and scallops, restoring ecosystems ravaged by commercial fishing.

Despite their difference in culture and location, these farmers and ranchers are rooted in the same belief: that to work with nature, not against it, is the answer.

Science is showing that if we draw down enough carbon from the sky back into the soil through regenerative agricultural practices, we can actually reverse climate change bringing carbon dioxide down to pre-industrial revolution levels.

So, now it’s our turn: to bring awareness and support to the ranchers and farmers doing the work to renew the earth through these simple, yet profound practices.
