  1. An alternative to the conventional aboveground #greenhouse with fully transparent walls is the modern #Walipini, developed in #Bolivia 2002. The #concept enables #yearround vegetable #cultivation even in temperate climate zones, as the planting beds are situated #underground, where the temperature remains nearly constant regardless of the season above. Sunlight enters through a transparent roof.

  2. Paul Beckwith, a climate science educator, goes through James Hansen's recent warnings about a coming "Super El Niño".

    This video (24:48) assumes a small amount of background in math and science, enough to read time/temperature graphs, but is generally quite accessible in its explanations. He walks through a lot of good stuff like how the El Niño / La Niña cycle works, what some of the "forcings" are that are driving some of these things, why things like aerosols matter, what different models show, what the consensus predictions have been and why Hansen's predicting something substantively stronger.

    It's a pretty worrisome set of things, but Hansen has been an important voice in the climate conversation, and I think Beckwith's presentation is pretty level—trying to just walk through the information dispassionately in a way that can help you understand the science part.

  3. The challenge to stop human-caused #ClimateHeating is a challenge to mitigate the misinformation & disinformation of the #corporate sector (& associated sociopolitics)

    For anyone that is concerned about #ClimateChange & let's be honest - there are many adults that are not ($), reducing #Greenhouse Gas Emissions is mission-critical.

    Worst-case scenarios are trending toward worse-case realities.

    What must be done? #CarbonTax and transition towards 100% Clean energy. sciencedirect.com/science/arti
