(...) poblahopřál k vítězství Anthonymu Albanesemu. Ten vede Australskou stranu práce (labouristy), ale ani ta nemusí být po sečtení zbývajících hlasů schopna sestavit většinovou vládu sama. I když to tak zatím vypadá. Labouristé tak budou nejspíš potřebovat podporu ekologicky zaměřených nezávislých poslanců. I to může být důvod, proč se Albanese rozhodl volit velmi extrémní rétoriku směrem k boji s klimatickou krizí.

„Společně můžeme ukončit klimatické války,“ řekl ve vítězném projevu. „Společně můžeme využít této příležitosti pro Austrálii, aby se stala supervelmocí obnovitelné energie,“ pronesl před svými skalními podporovateli.

"We treat the future as a dumping ground for ecological degradation, as if there was nobody there. That is a violation of the rights of future generations". At #Stockholm50, let's think long-term for an #Earth4All. Read Roman Krznaric on long-term thinking

A major upgrade — Earth4All
https://www.earth4all.life/a-major-upgrade

Earth4All started as a vibrant collective of leading economic thinkers, scientists, policy leaders, and advocates, convened by The Club of Rome, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Norwegian Business School.

With more and more people and organisations joining, Earth4All has become a platform to connect and amplify the chorus of voices that want to upgrade our economies. We are not starting from scratch. The momentum is growing. Communities and policy makers across the world are already changing the way we think economics.

Everybody can get involved. We need everybody to secure a safe and prosperous future for everyone on this planet. It is possible.

Earth4All builds on the legacies of The Limits to Growth and the Planetary Boundaries frameworks. Science is at the heart of our work. We rethink capitalism and move beyond GDP for a safe, secure and prosperous future in the Anthropocene

toto uz tu mozno bolo, neviem, ja mam alzheimera tak pre mna je kazdy den vzdy ako novy :)

zaujimave ze si vybral zrovna RWE, mozno si spocital, ze u nejakeho Gazpromu by asi neuspel :)

Jak zmerit, jestli je firma environmentalne friendly a zaslouzi si lepsi ESG rating pro akcionare/cerpani dotaci? Pocet zamestnancu vs emise? Nebo dle mnozstvi vyrobku vs. emise...? Dle srovnani s konkurencinimi substituty? Dle interniho deklarovaneho planu na snizeni emisi? Dle standardizovanych tabulek / deklarovane byrokraticke normy? Dle zdroje odberu jejich ebergetickych vstupu?

SEC Wants To Prevent ESG Funds From Greenwashing Following Tesla's Removal From The S&P 500 ESG Index - CleanTechnica
https://cleantechnica.com/2022/05/27/sec-wants-to-prevent-esg-funds-from-greenwashing-following-teslas-removal-from-the-sp-500-esg-index/

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to prevent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) funds from greenwashing. The SEC published a fact sheet with amendments calling for funds to show proof of their claims and to disclose how they choose companies and vote at annual meetings.

A recent article on Nature claims the start of the "Pandemicene" caused by climate change.

2022 Climate change increases cross-species viral transmission risk
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04788-w

At least 10,000 virus species have the capacity to infect humans, but at present, the vast majority are circulating silently in wild mammals1,2. However, climate and land use change will produce novel opportunities for viral sharing among previously geographically-isolated species of wildlife3,4. In some cases, this will facilitate zoonotic spillover—a mechanistic link between global environmental change and disease emergence. Here, we simulate potential hotspots of future viral sharing, using a phylogeographic model of the mammal-virus network, and projections of geographic range shifts for 3,139 mammal species under climate change and land use scenarios for the year 2070. We predict that species will aggregate in new combinations at high elevations, in biodiversity hotspots, and in areas of high human population density in Asia and Africa, driving the novel cross-species transmission of their viruses an estimated 4,000 times. Because of their unique dispersal capacity, bats account for the majority of novel viral sharing, and are likely to share viruses along evolutionary pathways that will facilitate future emergence in humans. Surprisingly, we find that this ecological transition may already be underway, and holding warming under 2 °C within the century will not reduce future viral sharing. Our findings highlight an urgent need to pair viral surveillance and discovery efforts with biodiversity surveys tracking species’ range shifts, especially in tropical regions that harbor the most zoonoses and are experiencing rapid warming.


ugo bardi to hejtuje:

But how can climate change favor pathogen diffusion? Well, according to the authors, it is because it will favor cross-species transmission. It is called zoonotic spillover.
Ah... yes. But how do you know that climate change will favor interspecies interaction?
Well, because, oh.... we assume that species will interact more with each other.
But do you have any proof of that?
Not really, but we have a model.

A Year After the Shell Ruling: Big Victories & Next Steps for Climate Litigation - CleanTechnica
https://cleantechnica.com/2022/05/27/a-year-after-the-shell-ruling-big-victories-next-steps-for-climate-litigation/

In March, a first-of-its-kind case was announced against Shell’s board of directors. The suit seeks to hold them personally liable for failing to adopt and implement a climate strategy that aligns with the Paris agreement. Failure to lead an effective transition, the suit argues, is a breach of board duties under the UK Companies Act. This suit points back to the earlier legal win against Shell in the Netherlands. That ruling ordered Shell to address emissions along the full value chain, including pollution from burning Shell products. Now, a year later, Shell’s board has tried to narrow its responsibility to address only the emissions from Shell’s production and manufacturing operations.

SHEFIK: ad "neda"

presto je tu finalni mnozstvi lidi, kteri jsou kazdy rok v kontrolnich/rozhodujicich funkcich pro ekosystem a rozhodujou, co se bude delat, na zaklade svych internich modelu, protoze zeme se toci a zivot jde dal ,)

me prijde vtipny a priznacny, ze studie se diva na nejaky parametry toho systemu managementu, ale jakoby bere toho, kdo dela ten management jako sekundarniho, pricemz je to naopak - coz je to primarni, co zohlednuje holistic management (celek systemu - rozhodujici akteri a proces jejich rozhodovani) ... pricemz tyhle studie se zabyvaj nejakou partikularni praktikou, zde holisticky planovani pastvy. sam savory treba rika, ze tyhle spory jsou nesmysl, protoze neresej to jadro, kterym je ta systemicka regulace (ktera zahrnuje neuplnost poznani, informaci, atd)

TADEAS: jinak imho jsme zatim nedospeli k dostatecne obecnymu ramci pro tyhle studie samotny - pak to konci vyrokama jako 'social context rather than the merits of any one particular management regime', ze vlastne nelze urcit, 'cim to je', situace je prilis fluidni, atp :)

... coz je vysledek prilis reduktivniho, malo komplexsniho pohledu. museli by, a to strasne nechtej, asi, prijmout tu integritu tech socialnich, financnich, biologickejch, klimatickejch procesu - a mit metriky a analyticky nastroje pro vsechny z nich, protoze svete div se, fakt nejsou oddelitelny. takze nejaky konstatovani o nejasnosti, socialnim kontextu, atp. jsou vyjadrenim limitu toho jak tu problematiku vubec zkoumame.

zakladni 'objekt zkoumani' je 'system', sestavajici se ze svejch lidskejch socialnich, financnich, energeticko-materialovejch aspektu, z biologickejch a klimatickejch aspektu. pro analyzu toho, kdo/kteri managuji system je potreba identifikovat, v jakem operuji paradigmatu, tj. identifikovat jejich pracovni teorii a jeji koncepty - ktere se vztauji ke vsem aspektum toho systemu. potom vzit ty nejlepsi metriky co mame ze sve vlastni teorie celeho systemu [teorie paradigmatů managementu, teorie ekosystemu (vc. pudy), teorie klimatu] a mapovat dusledky tech ruznych managementů na ostatni prvky systemu.



'There is an important difference between arguing that good adaptive management can improve soil quality and increase soil organic matter – and concluding that it offers the solution to our climate crisis.'

rika se, ze ten problem tkvi prave v tom -managementu- ... konkretni techniky a praktiky [tj. napr. 'adaptive grazing', ne 'management', jak chybne pisou] jsou podrazene tomu managementu, jehoz zasadni komponent je praktika toho, jakym zpusobem si system nastavuje sve seberegulacni procesy
