BREAKING: We won our case against the UK gov's inadequate net zero strategy!

On the hottest day on record in the UK, the High Court has ruled that the government’s Net Zero Strategy breaches the Climate Change Act.

This is a landmark victory.

Hallam: George Monbiot's bravest article this year.
Until the grip of reformists on the "environmental" space is broken, the movements will simply make the murder of our children a little less uncomfortable.

The record-shattering heatwave has given the UK a new national record high of 40.3 °C (104.5 °F).

TUHO: nehodlam se tu s tebou tocit na grafech (vadi mi osekavani grafu z obou taboru) a urcovani svetovy prumerny teploty z ruznych proxies je taky pekna vec na delsi debatu

na konec snad jen:
"How fast can our planet’s climate change? Too slowly for humans to notice, according to the firm belief of most scientists through much of the 20th century. Any shift of weather patterns, even the Dust Bowl droughts that devastated the Great Plains in the 1930s, was seen as a temporary local excursion. To be sure, the entire world climate could change radically: The ice ages proved that. But common sense held that such transformations could only creep in over tens of thousands of years.
In the 1950s, a few scientists found evidence that some of the great climate shifts in the past had taken only a few thousand years. During the 1960s and 1970s, other lines of research made it plausible that the global climate could shift radically within a few hundred years. In the 1980s and 1990s, further studies reduced the scale to the span of a single century. Today, there is evidence that severe change can take less than a decade. A committee of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has called this reorientation in the thinking of scientists a veritable “paradigm shift.” The new paradigm of abrupt global climate change, the committee reported in 2002, “has been well established by research over the last decade, but this new thinking is little known and scarcely appreciated in the wider community of natural and social scientists and policymakers.”"

PER2: nevim presne jak je to s abrupt climate change v poslednich 300tisicich letech, reagoval jsem specificky na tenhle graf. protoze tu argumentaci jsem slysel casto od pokornyho a barty a kdyz jsem se na to koukal podrobne tak systematicky zamenujou lokalni a globalni teplotyz cehoz pak felaj znacne neadekvatni zavery (jo a casto taky orezavaj grafy zprava aby nebylo videt to soucasny otepleni, jako to dela tvuj graf)

SEJDA: pardon, ja myslel ze jsem v auditku VV, kde by se ten muj blby vtip asi setkal s vetsim pochopenim.

TUHO: to chce vic parkovacich mist, kam umistime nastartovana auta, zapnem klimatizaci a stahnem okynka.

TUHO: Pražský tepelný ostrov sice zesiluje a to o necelou desetinu stupně Celsia za 10 let. Celkově se ale v Praze otepluje víc v důsledku změny klimatu (cca 0,28 °C / 10 let). Podle současných prognóz nás přitom v budoucnu čeká další zvýšení teplot. Vzhledem k působení tepelného ostrova města je proto pravděpodobné, že Praha jako celek zůstane nejteplejším místem Česka.

Nabízí se otázka, co dělat proti potenciálně negativním dopadům oteplování – které se objevují zejména v důsledku zvýšení nočních teplot. Hlavním řešením je funkční zeleň v ulicích – ideálně stromy, které stíny chodníky a přilehlé části silnic, parky s převažující vertikální zelení (obr. 4), vhodně jsou i zelené střechy. A konečně, uplatňuje se i barva povrchů ulic a domů ve městech – čím světlejší, tím víc slunečních paprsků odrazí, a tím méně tepla se pak v nich akumuluje.
