    paliativni proces, nez se bude moct narodit regenerativni kultura

    Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira: 9781623176242 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
    https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/675703/hospicing-modernity-by-vanessa-machado-de-oliveira/

    Driven by expansion, colonialism, and resource extraction and propelled by neoliberalism and rabid consumption, our world is profoundly out of balance. We take more than we give; we inoculate ourselves in positive self-regard while continuing to make harmful choices; we wreak irreparable havoc on the ecosystems, habitats, and beings with whom we share our planet. But instead of drowning in hopelessness, how can we learn to face our reality with humility and accountability?

    Machado de Oliveira breaks down archetypes of cognitive dissonance–the do-gooder who does “good enough,” then retreats to business as usual; the incognito capitalist who, at first glance, may seem like a radical change-maker–and asks us to dig deeper and exist differently. She explains how our habits, behaviors, and belief systems hold us back…and why it’s time now to gradually disinvest. Including exercises used with teachers, NGO practitioners, and global changemakers, she offers us thought experiments that ask us to:

    • Reimagine how we learn, unlearn, and respond to crisis
    • Better assess our surroundings and interact with difference, uncertainty, complexity, and failure
    • Expand our capacity to hold personal and collective space for difficult and painful things
    • Understand the “5 modern-colonial e’s”: Entitlements, Exceptionalism, Exaltation, Emancipation, and Enmeshment in low-intensity struggle activism
    • Interrupt our satisfaction with modern-colonial desires that cause harm
    • Create space for change driven neither by desperate hope nor a fear of desolate hopelessness

    Ani korunu fosilnímu průmyslu - Nedej se! | Česká televize
    https://www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/1095913550-nedej-se/222562248430013/

    Skupina ekologických organizací se dala dohromady a vytvořila novou kampaň „Zastavme špinavé prachy“, která si dala za cíl přesvědčit pobočky zahraničních bank a pojišťoven v Česku, aby přestaly financovat těžbu a spalování fosilních paliv. Po útoku Ruska na Ukrajinu uspořádala skupina „Zastavme špinavé prachy“ minulý týden happeningy ve třech českých bankách, které financují těžbu plynu v Rusku a požadují, aby kromě klimatu, skončily tyto banky s finanční podporou Ruska a tím i války na Ukrajině. Stejná kampaň současně probíhá po celém světě.

    387 – Direct Air Capture | omega tau science & engineering podcast
    https://omegataupodcast.net/387-direct-air-capture/

    The climate situatation is getting more and more dire, and in order to reach the goals the international community has set for themselves, engineering solutions seem increasingly necessary. After talking about solar geoengineering in episode 385, we will look at direct air capture in this episode. Direct Air Capture is a family of technologies that allow the extraction of CO2 from the atmosphere. My guest Peter Psarras explains the technology, the economics and also the political and moral challenges associated with the technology.

    Peter Psarras (University of Pennsylvania) is a research assistant professor in chemical and biomolecular engineering at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He oversees the direction of Jennifer Wilcox’s lab, focusing on carbon dioxide removal and carbon capture.

    His research involves techno-economic and life-cycle assessments of carbon capture, utilization and storage, and carbon dioxide removal systems, specifically in identifying regional opportunities for deployment. Peter received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Miami University in 2005 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Cleveland State University in 2014.

    Fosilní Austrálie chce být supervelmocí obnovitelné energie. Slibuje to čerstvě zvolený premiér - VOXPOT
    https://www.voxpot.cz/fosilni-australie-chce-byt-supervelmoci-obnovitelne-energie-slibuje-to-cerstve-zvoleny-premier/

    (...) 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.

    2022 Defining a sustainable development target space for 2030 and 2050
    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590332222000033

    With the establishment of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), countries worldwide agreed to a prosperous, socially inclusive, and environmentally sustainable future for all. This ambition, however, exposes a critical gap in science-based insights, namely on how to achieve the 17 SDGs simultaneously. Quantitative goal-seeking scenario studies could help explore the needed systems' transformations. This requires a clear definition of the "target space." The 169 targets and 232 indicators used for monitoring SDG implementation cannot be used for this; they are too many, too broad, unstructured, and sometimes not formulated quantitatively. Here, we propose a streamlined set of science-based indicators and associated target values that are quantifiable and actionable to make scenario analysis meaningful, relevant, and simple enough to be transparent and communicable. The 36 targets are based on the SDGs, existing multilateral agreements, literature, and expert assessment. They include 2050 as a longer-term reference point. This target space can guide researchers in developing new sustainable development pathways.

    Physicists predict Earth will become a chaotic world, with dire consequences | Live Science
    https://www.livescience.com/humanity-turns-earth-chaotic-climate-system

    Humans aren't just making Earth warmer, they are making the climate chaotic, a stark new study suggests.

    If the Earth System gets into the region of chaotic behavior, we will lose all hope of somehow fixing the problem."

    ...

    But in the worst cases, the researchers found that Earth's climate leads to chaos. True, mathematical chaos. In a chaotic system, there is no equilibrium and no repeatable patterns. A chaotic climate would have seasons that change wildly from decade to decade (or even year to year). Some years would experience sudden flashes of extreme weather, while others would be completely quiet. Even the average Earth temperature may fluctuate wildly, swinging from cooler to hotter periods in relatively short periods of time. It would become utterly impossible to determine in what direction Earth's climate is headed.

    Most concerning, the researchers found that above a certain critical threshold temperature for Earth's atmosphere, a feedback cycle can kick in where a chaotic result would become unavoidable. There are some signs that we may have already passed that tipping point, but it's not too late to avert climate disaster.

    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)
