SCHWEPZ: nesmrtelný dědula john kerry

TADEAS: Třídenní jednání Spojených států s Čínou o spolupráci na ochraně klimatu skončilo bez dohody.
Americký zmocněnec pro klimatické otázky John Kerry řekl, že je potřeba „více práce“. Ocenil ale obnovení jednání a „upřímný“ dialog.

Obě strany se nyní podle amerického zmocněnce pro klima Johna Kerryho při „upřímných rozhovorech“ shodly, že změna klimatu je naléhavá a že se chtějí držet globálního závazku nenechat oteplení výrazně přesáhnout 1,5 °C ve srovnání s předindustriální érou.

Podle deníku New York Times se Kerry při ohlašování výsledků jednání tvářil, že je „nadšen“ už jen z toho, že se podařilo restartovat zmražené jednání. Čína souhlasila, že v jednání s USA bude pokračovat a další kolo je v plánu před klimatickým summitem OSN COP28, který se odehraje na podzim v Dubaji.

“It’s not just the magnitude of change, it’s the rate of change that’s an issue,” said Ellen Thomas, a Yale University scientist who studies climate over geologic timescales. “We have highways and railroads that are set in place, our infrastructure can’t move. Almost all my colleagues have said that, in hindsight, we have underestimated the consequences. Things are moving faster than we thought, which is not good.”

This summer’s searing heat has fully revealed to the world a message that Hansen attempted to deliver 35 years ago and scientists have strived to convey since, according to Huber. “We have been staring this in the face as scientists for decades, but now the world is going through that same process, which is like the five stages of grief,” he said. “It’s painful to watch people go through it.

“But we can’t simply give up because the situation is dire,” Huber added. “We need to say ‘Here is where we need to invest and make changes and innovate’ and not give up. We can’t just write off billions of people.”

TUHO: zajimavy

People tend to have a limited trust of computer models, and quite rightly so. The computer models are not completely trustworthy, as the modelers themselves are aware. Unfortunately, we have no other choice. It would be difficult to make predictions, almost impossible, without computer models, so we simply have to take the real scientific risk that the models are far from perfect.
For example, the models are deliberately designed to be stable. You can't do anything with an unstable model, and therefore by design they're incapable of showing any horrible, abrupt, very unlikely, but totally catastrophic thing that might happen. They're just not able to show those things.
Then there's the public relations risk. People would like to have it all written down, and if you're an engineer, you'd like to have the basic equations that prove that it's going to get three degrees warmer. Models just can't provide that, so people are suspicious.

Starsi, ale zajimavej rozhovor s fyzikem a historikem vedy Spencerem Weartem o jeho studii klimaticky vedy

WEART: Intellectually, the thing that surprised me the most was to find out how cut off these scientists were from each other. I would be reading an article, and I'd think, doesn't this person realize that this was discovered 10 years ago? No, this person doesn't realize it, because he was working in a somewhat different field!
There were cases of someone understanding something very important about global warming in the 1930s, and other people didn't catch onto it until the 1960s. The field was so broken up into different specialties. Now, that has been solved by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, but it was quite amazing to me to find out how poor the communications were among scientists of different specialties up until the 1980s and 1990s.

ja vijm, je to nic moc rekord, ale dam si zase pauzu dokud to nebude pristeaspon o petstupnu vic :p

Phoenix is currently breaking the record for the number of consecutive days above 45°C, making it one of the first cities in the world at risk of being uninhabitable without air conditioning due to extreme heat. It has to be near the top of the list for cities facing extremes
For those asking - I should have stated - It’s 18 days and counting with no end in sight - that’s consecutive days with 110-degree F or higher temperatures.

TADEAS: tak obviňovat GM z nepochopení potřebnosti a smysluplnosti policies je podle mého naivní. ten citát je ale trefnej, bo bylo dost zjevný, že každej jede po vlastní koleji a na naslouchání oponentovi se zvlášť nesoustředí. AS tlačil holistic grazing a její bohatý dopad na biodiversitu jako prevenci klimastrofy, JM pak hrotil humanistickej rozměr výkmu 10B lidu jednobuněčkama. Oba hráli anglickej styl debatního duelu a potud mi přišla ta vzájemná ignorace jako legit. Alan měl vtipnější chvilky hardwarového charakteru, když v palčivých otázkách z publika (čim je teda způsobena klimastrofa?) , neslyšel, bo má vybitý naslouchadlo a GM dostal tu zajimavou nabídku od čínskýho velkochovatele. Nad motivy vyzyvatele debaty - AS - je třeba se hlouběji zamyslet.

HIDDEN HYDROGEN
https://www.science.org/content/article/hidden-hydrogen-earth-may-hold-vast-stores-renewable-carbon-free-fuel

The Malian discovery was vivid evidence for what a small group of scientists, studying hints from seeps, mines, and abandoned wells, had been saying for years: Contrary to conventional wisdom, large stores of natural hydrogen may exist all over the world, like oil and gas—but not in the same places. These researchers say water-rock reactions deep within the Earth continuously generate hydrogen, which percolates up through the crust and sometimes accumulates in underground traps. There might be enough natural hydrogen to meet burgeoning global demand for thousands of years, according to a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) model that was presented in October 2022 at a meeting of the Geological Society of America.


2022 A PRELIMINARY MODEL OF GLOBAL SUBSURFACE NATURAL HYDROGEN RESOURCE POTENTIAL
https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2022AM/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/380270

Geologic hydrogen (H2) has recently gained interest as a potential primary energy resource. To guide decision-making, policy makers, resource managers, exploration companies, and investors will need information as to the extent of the potential resource. However, the uncertainties associated with the generation, migration, accumulation, and preservation of H2 in the subsurface make it impossible to precisely determine potential resource volumes at this time. Despite the uncertainties, the occurrence and behavior of H2 in the subsurface is not completely unknown. Additional inferences on the occurrence of H2 in the subsurface can be made by employing knowledge derived from studies of fluid migration, accumulation, and preservation related to other geologic resources (e.g., petroleum, geothermal energy, noble gases, etc.). These factors can be combined to provide some constraints on the possible magnitude of geologic H2 resources in the subsurface.

...

Stochastic model results indicate a greater than 98% probability of geologic H2 production meeting at least 50% of the forecast green H2 production by the year 2100 and beyond, with long-term renewable H2 production potentially in the range of 100s of Mt per year. Moreover, the model indicates that the residence time of H2 in reservoirs and the annual flux of H2 to the atmosphere are the most influential factors affecting the resource potential, whereas variations in biotic and abiotic consumption of H2 have relatively little effect. These results strongly suggest that additional investigation of the resource potential of natural H2 is warranted. This model provides an initial framework for assessing global H2 resource potential and can be an important tool for guiding future research initiatives.
