    PER2: carbon capture je jedna z nejméně škálovatelných věcí ever. S vyjímku zalesňování, ale i to má svoje limity, kdy pásmo stepí ani nemusí být schopné les udržet.

    Já jako jedinou nadějí vidím expanzi tajgy do bývalé tundry, kdyby tam ovšem pořád nehořelo... jsou to dostatečně rozsáhlé plochy, aby se tam nějaký uhlík hromadí. Ale nesmí tam být sucho a lesní požáry...

    Glacier Dam Overwhelmed by South Asian Heatwave - CleanTechnica
    https://cleantechnica.com/2022/05/10/glacier-dam-overwhelmed-by-south-asian-heatwave/

    As schools across India close early for the summer — unable to operate amid the extreme heat and resulting power shut offs — a massive glacial lake outburst in Pakistan wiped out a bridge, two power plants, and flooded a village as the record-breaking, months-long heatwave grinds on. Record-high temperatures accelerated ice and snow melt, feeding a lake near the Shishpar glacier in northern Pakistan’s Hunza District so quickly it breached its ice dam and dumped 10,000 cubic feet of water per second down the valley. Residents had sufficient warning to evacuate, but the flooding destroyed agricultural land, power projects and some homes.

    YMLADRIS:
    " To reach just one million tons of carbon captured per year, High Hopes would need to get 2,055 massive one-ton balloons into operation, each pulling down a full CO2 tank every 18 hours. And that's assuming year-round availability and no punctures or tears."

    vs

    In 2019, about 43.1 billion tons of CO2 from human activities were emitted into the atmosphere.

    Water is a stream of geopolitical force through history | Aeon Essays
    https://aeon.co/essays/water-is-a-stream-of-geopolitical-force-through-history

    A great river encircles the world. It rises in the heartland of the United States and carries more water than the Mississippi and Yangtze rivers combined. One branch, its oldest, streams over the Atlantic, heading for Europe and the Middle East. Another crosses the Pacific, flowing towards China. Countless tributaries join along the way, draining the plains and forests of Latin America, Europe and Asia.

    You probably have never heard of such a river, even though almost all of us draw from it. You cannot fish in it, float on it, drink from it. If you were to look, you would not find it: it is invisible. Yet there is no doubt that it flows.

    The river starts anywhere water feeds agriculture. But from there, physical water vanishes, replaced by a flow of crops that carry only the memory of the water used to produce them. Crops then travel along the shipping lanes of the global trade system, eventually displacing the water that would have otherwise been used to grow them locally. Thus, water flows from source to destination ‘embedded’ in its products. It is a flow of ‘virtual water’, an idea first developed in the 1980s by the late geographer Tony Allan.

    This great virtual river helps explain how nations exercise power over each other. It is far from a coincidence that its dominant source today is the waters of the Mississippi. Its current path was established when Franklin Roosevelt’s US replaced Britain as the world’s hegemon. The US began feeding an imploding, war-torn Europe with crops nourished by the rich waters of Old Man River, and the rest is history.

    ...

    All through the 20th century, trading the products of a country’s water resources was an act of power. When the US became the granary of the world, flooding food eastward, it also provoked a countercurrent of hard currency streaming back to pay for it, setting the stage for the Bretton Woods settlement.

    Lenin and Stalin paid for Soviet industrialisation with cereal production of Ukrainian, Russian and Central Asian fields, irrigated by canals built by thousands of Gulag prisoners. In China, Mao may well have measured the targets of the Great Leap Forward in tons of steel, but planned to fund their pursuit by irrigating the plains of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers.

    Ibn Saud knew that oil might make him wealthy, but only water to irrigate Saudi Arabia would give him power, so the former paid for the latter. And the 1970s postcolonial competition for regional influence over water reached a peak when the pan-Arabism of Egypt’s president Gamal Abdel Nasser collided with Israel’s claims over the Jordan River, seeding conflicts that – from the Arab Spring to the Syrian crisis – have contributed to shaping the contemporary world.

    Yet the geopolitical value of water ended up hidden from view. A thick layer of 20th-century industrialisation concealed the force of water behind countless dams and vast embankments, replumbing the planet and fooling people into believing that modernity had emancipated their life from concerns about water.

    ...



    The drying of the Colorado River, the decimation of the forests of the Amazon and Congo basins, the flood-ridden plains of the Rhine and Yellow rivers, the disappearing wetlands of the Murray-Darling River are all evidence that a vast agricultural trade system continues to transform the face of the planet. And water continues to be its blueprint.

    You cannot see the great virtual river, even if it continues to grow. But, unseen, it still matters. It shapes the environment we all live in. It creates powerful dependencies between nations. Above all, it is an expression of power. You might not be able to see it, but its shadow stretches behind you in time.

    2021 The Path to a Livable Future - A New Politics to Fight Climate Change, Racism, and the Next Pandemic
    https://www.google.ca/books/edition/The_Path_to_a_Livable_Future/rHsqEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover

    Naomi Klein has called agricultural researcher Stan Cox a dangerous iconoclast of the best kind. Cox is a staff member of Kansas’ Land Institute, an agency promoting perennial grain crops and polyculture farming. In The Path to a Livable Future, Cox connects the dots between the ways that climate change, COVID-19, and racism hit impoverished populations the hardest, and calls to build movements inclusive of all sectors of society.

    Frontiers | Toward a Taxonomy of Climate Emotions | Climate
    https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fclim.2021.738154/full

    There is a growing evidence that emotions shape people's reactions to the climate crisis in profound but complex ways. Climate emotions are related to resilience, climate action, and psychological well-being and health. However, there is currently a lack of research about the array of various climate emotions. There is also a need for more integration with general research about emotions. This article conducts a preliminary exploration of the taxonomy of climate emotions, based on literature reviews and philosophical discussion. The term emotion is used here in a broad sense, as is common in climate emotion research. Because of the urgency of the climate crisis and the lack of previous research, this kind of exploration is aimed to be helpful for both practical climate work and for future research which would include more systematic reviews of the topic. Research items which discuss at least five different climate emotions, based on empirical observations, are used as major sources and a table about them is provided. Climate emotions are discussed on the basis of interdisciplinary research. The article considers many aspects of the phenomena of climate anxiety and climate grief.

    THINKING CATASTROPHIC THOUGHTS: A TRAUMATIZED SENSIBILITY ON A HOTTER PLANET | SpringerLink
    https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s11231-022-09340-3

    While catastrophizing has traditionally been pathologized within psychoanalytic traditions, in this paper I suggest that cataclysmic realities of climate change call upon all of us to cultivate catastrophic thinking. Our new climatic normal demands of us not only new concepts and language, but also a new sort of thinking, building on Wilfred Bion’s ideas that to think is to use our mind’s capacity to be in touch with internal and external realities. I suggest that sometimes people are able to learn from their experiences of trauma in ways that disrupt the culturally dominant anenvironmental orientation, that is, an orientation that brackets out the more-than-human environment. Instead, they develop a capacity to think catastrophically about and to be permeable to the more-than-human environment. What I call their “traumatized sensibility” can offer guidance as we come to co-exist with and respond more consciously to our hotter planet.

    Klimatolog ze SHMU

    Jozef Pecho
    Na severnej pologuli (NH) sme v priebehu uplynulého mesiaca (apríl 2022) pokorili hranicu 420 ppm koncentrácie CO2 (čo je presne o 50 % viac ako hist. hodnota v holocéne; CO2_hist), pričom v priebehu najbližšieho mesiaca sa očakáva ešte mierny nárast (v rámci medziročného cyklu). Ako však ukazujú údaje ECMWF (CAMS a jeho predovedný modul), na NH sa nachádzajú na veľkej ploche koncentrácie CO2 výrazne vyššie ako uvedená hodnota (420 ppm).
    V 6. IPCC správe boli predstavené nové série emisných scenárov, tzv. SSPs (modifikované RCPs) - ťažko posúdiť, ktorý z týchto scenárov reálna atm. koncentrácia CO2 momentálne "sleduje", no sklon trendu za posledných 20 rokov má podobnú smernicu ako scenáre SSP3-7.0 (výrazne pesimistickejší ako pôvodný RCP6.0) a SSP5-8.5 (do roku 2060 približne odpovedá pôvodnému RCP8.5) do roku 2050. Podľa týchto scenárov je veľmi pravdepodobné, že už krátko po roku 2050 dosiahneme hodnotu 560 ppm (2 × CO2_hist), ktorej by odpovedalo celkové oteplenie po dosiahnutí radiačného equilibria (stav, kedy globálna teplota bude v rovnováhe s celkovou atm. koncentráciou CO2) na úrovni 3,5 - 4,0 °C v porovnaní so stavom v 19. storočí.
    Aby sme mali akú takú šancu, že max. oteplenie do roku 2100 nebude vyššie ako 1,5 °C (s možnosťou len krátkodobého "overshootu" cez 1,5 alebo 2,0 °C), ideálne by bolo, aby sa celková koncentrácia CO2 začala stabilizovať už v priebehu nasledujúcej dekády (2031-2040) --- to si však bude vyžadovať riadený pokles emisií uhlíka na aspoň polovicu súčasných hodnôt (5 GtC/yr) do konca tejto dekády a ďalší pokles o 95 % v porovnaní so súčastnosťou ešte pred rokom 2050. Akékoľvek iné scenáre, počítajúce s ďalším navyšovaním nielen emisií ale aj celkových koncentrácií uhlíka po roku 2030 sú pre nás veľmi riskantné a nebezpečné, tak z pohľadu stability globálneho uhlíkového cyklu ako aj klimatikého systému Zeme.
