  1. #Wildfires across Europe, Russia, Australia, Indonesia and the 1000 fires raging across #Canada make clear what so many have denied: #climatebreakdown and climate-led species collapse is destroying humanity’s life support system - the #biosphereopen.substack.com/pub/annpetti...

    It is Time to Storm the Gates ...

  2. Our world is in peril. Most of us understand that things are changing rapidly. How many of us are committed to doing everything in our power to protect it, for #humans and #non-humans alike? Without a healthy #biosphere nothing else matters. This excellent article frames an #important part of our shared #predicament in contrast with the #perils of the #AI boom.

    Biosphere - The Hilvarenbeek Recordings (remastered LP)

    even though this album is based on field recordings from a dutch farm, it sounds delightfully mysterious. :vinyl: 🐮

  4. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌱🔬 A new 3D #climate model suggests #Earth’s photosynthetic #biosphere could survive up to 1.86 billion more years, well past earlier 1 billion year estimates.

    Researchers examined how rising #heat and declining #CO2 will squeeze future plant life. Hardiest survivors like CAM #plants and aquatic #algae may persist near the poles.

  6. RE: mstdn.social/@compoundchem/116

    The #climatecrisis has multiple negative effects on the maritime #biosphere.

    The rise in temperature in the sea gets most attention, but #oceanacidification is a major risk as well to the #maritime #ecology - threatening the stability of the #foodchain in the world's #oceans.

    Within this century the skeletons of maritime organisms, such as #corals, will be at risk to erode faster then they can be sustained. This will also affect #plankton which forms the basis of the maritime #food chain.

    Section 2: Velocity vs. Gradual Adaptation

    A comprehensive synthesis published by the Geological Society of London emphasizes that while global temperature increases of 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius have occurred in the deep past, the velocity of the modern injection rate is entirely without precedent. Past transitions occurring across 50,000 years permitted the geosphere and #biosphere to migrate, reconfigure ocean currents, and adapt.

    4. The #Biosphere: The thin green envelope of all living organisms. It photo-synthetically harvests solar energy and cycles chemical elements (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen) between the other spheres.

    For billions of years, these four spheres interacted in a balanced, slow-motion, closed-loop dance. The lecture notes that the Anthropocene marks the forced entry of an unprecedented fifth component: the #Anthroposphere.

  9. WW1 for the aristocrats colonial Empires, WW2 for the plutocrats corporations and WW3 for the oligarchs fascist cults? And finally the end for the transhumanists Alien destruction of Earth. The wars for and by those against the people; the democratic rights of their diverse interests to secure and protect the hegemony of Hydra’s totalitarian world order and its programme of ecocide! #Parasites #Symbiosis #losers #Winners #Biosphere

  10. @madeindex If we want to keep OURSELVES alive, never mind #aquatic #megafauna! The #biosphere is an integrated whole.

  11. theguardian.com/environment/20. The #biosphere is fully integrated & inter-dependent. Take out one part of an #ecosystem & the rest of it collapses - & the same is true of the biosphere as a whole. If all #fungi were to become #extinct, the #extinction of other #eukaryotic life-forms, including #humans, would follow, & very rapidly.

  12. I was explaining to GF last night about all the science that #NASA does above & beyond just shooting stuff into space. Things like "how do you get x ppl to live in a confined space for years without going insane or killing each other". One of the things that experiments like #BioSphere (despite not being NASA related) was trying to assess.

    After explaining what BioSphere was she exclaimed "Wait you mean that stupid movie with Pauly Shore was a real thing?!?"

  13. This just in! We've got a new audio overview for the landmark book Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life by the legendary Edward O. Wilson.

    You can listen to the full 18-minute deep dive on the Eyes on the Earth Archive YouTube channel. It’s an essential listen for anyone interested in conservation,

  14. Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life

    Half-Earth proposes an achievable plan to save our imperiled biosphere: devote half the surface of the Earth to nature.

    Of course not, that was half a century ago and they could hardly have known back then what #BigOilKnew:

    However, all I've said above, just scratches important parts of the surface.

    I haven't even mentioned the biggest threat to our current #Biosphere and the "#Humanophile" present climate, the at least 5 major climate #TippingPoints:

    Also, and this might be something for a future blend of #QuantumComputing and...

  18. Pendant ce temps-là, la guerre contre la biosphère et le vivant continue, et une minorité seulement est prête à commencer à remettre en cause le système capitaliste, source de la grande majorité de notre course très rapide vers le précipice.
