"This is folly on a globally calamitous scale.
(...)
Fossil fuels, which were for long so beneficial to humanity, have to be recognised as poisons.
And petroleum companies must pay for backtracking on their promises and putting shareholder dividends ahead of planetary health and human wellbeing."

Uncharted territory: Ocean surface temperatures hit a record high for June
"As a result, the oceans are warming at an accelerating rate. In 2020, the amount of heat being added to the oceans was equivalent to about five Hiroshima bombs a second. Last year, it was closer to 11 Hiroshima explosions a second. The UN’s secretary general, António Guterres, has warned “Earth is being pushed beyond its limits”. >>>

A multi-stressor scenario for the ocean and waterway ecosystems:
* The ocean is 'cooked' by the combustion of fossil fuels.
* Add a generous heap of 'nutrient-rich' floodwaters (runoff) from farms and suburbia.
* Get a harmful algal bloom (HAB) disaster, killing bio-diverse marine life and threatening the hip pocket nerve of coastal dwellers."A survey found that Australians remained far more concerned about disasters such as bushfires and flooding than they did HABs, despite 22 million people living with seven kilometres of the coastline and climate change modelling predicting more frequent and severe blooms."
"The study also found Australians had a "relatively low prioritisation of disasters — and HABs in particular — when compared with everyday socio-economic concerns"...Cost of living and healthcare dominated respondents' concerns in Australia, while environmental and climate change-related risks were perceived as less pressing.' >>

* Grievance-fuelled violence at home and psychological harm reduction
"The family violence workforce is stretched in Western societies... 20 out of 38 reviewed cases of fatal family violence were "grievance-fuelled"...The Fixated Grievance Perpetrator Intervention Pilot brings together experts in forensic psychology and psychiatry, criminology, policing, perpetrator intervention and victim support."

* The role of loss within society
Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one."Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."
"Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

#auspol #SupplyChains #ClimateDisasters
no turnips in my grocery order today. a small problem compared to those faced elsewhere in australia and around the globe, especially given the current fires and flooding
but it’s a reminder we have built a world dependent on supply chains, yet we are too stupid to care about the environments that supply the supply chains
capitalism is NOT the answer to all our problems, but often the cause
man-made climate change is worsening and accelerating the frequency of natural climate fluctuations. the people who are profiting from this won’t be the ones paying the cost

Your regular reminder that unless we bill the folks that lied about #ClimateChange for ~ half a century while profiting mightily from it then it falls upon taxpayers to pay more & more for increasingly expensive #ClimateDisasters. #CostOfClimate #ClimateChange www.ibc.ca/news-insight...

沉痛哀悼在最近的中国北京暴雨中死难的百姓。以及所有系统性灾难的受难者。
对气候问题的讲述已经陈词滥调令人生厌，但事实上其中有效部分并不多。您知道为什么吗？
为什么改良派会占据主流？为什么新闻头条的环保运动注定失败？
尤其是，在这种情况下，我们可以怎么办？🧬推荐三本书：《当又一轮暴雨袭来 …》

This short video likely feels super obvious to people who have lived through climate/natural disasters, but it's still a good tool to share with those who haven't. It's important to note that aftermath deaths can cluster soon after the event, but in many (most) cases the full toll takes years.

More than 150 ‘unprecedented’ #climatedisasters struck world in #2024 - #UN
#Floods, #heatwaves and supercharged #hurricanes occurred in hottest #climate human society has ever experienced
#WMO's report on 2024, hottest year on record. Heatwaves in Japan left hundreds of thousands of people struck down by heatstroke. Soaring temps during heatwaves peaked at 49.9C at Carnarvon in Western Australia, 49.7C in city of Tabas in Iran, and 48.5C in nationwide heatwave in Mali.

Report:
"
WMO’s State of the Global Climate report confirmed that 2024 was likely the first calendar year to be more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era, with a global mean near-surface temperature of 1.55 ± 0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 average. This is the warmest year in the 175-year observational record.
WMO’s flagship report showed that:
Atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide are at the highest levels in the last 800,000 years.
Globally each of the past ten years were individually the ten warmest years on record.
Each of the past eight years has set a new record for ocean heat content.
The 18 lowest Arctic sea-ice extents on record were all in the past 18 years.
The three lowest Antarctic ice extents were in the past three years.
The largest three-year loss of glacier mass on record occurred in the past three years.
The rate of sea level rise has doubled since satellite measurements began."

Gardeners spewing gasoline fumes into the air next door for leaf blowing. At least it's not the leaf blowing that was going on here when we had 50-70mph winds 😬
(Gripe: we're in a freaking climate crisis--cities burning down--and gasoline powered leaf blowers, a major source of pollution due to the inefficiency of two stroke engines, are not yet outlawed here.)

Haven't had the stomach to watch last night's show yet but absent from all 8 previous #Landman episodes is any mention whatsoever of the ever-worsening #ClimateDisasters we now all face. That's what makes #JohnHamm, #BillyBobThornton & #TaylorSheridan's show actually monstrous & unforgivable.
