Avi Lewis describes the NDP'S vision for the climate and for investment focus in Canada. Trickle down economics is a failure. Adopting the same priorities as Trump has, that being big oil, militarisation, and AI, is a mistake. China and India, though each have questionable human rights records, have nonetheless shown that pursuit of renewable sources of energy can be done and should be the focus of our investments.

Bye-Bye 1.5C

The UN report last week saying that humanity has failed to limit global warming to 1.5 C prompted quite a flurry of news reports. But the news should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying even a tiny bit of attention. Ever since the 2015 Climate Accords and the resulting Paris Agreement, no large carbon spewing country has done a damn thing to lower emissions. In fact, global emissions have continued to rise, except for a brief pause during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Nonetheless, the UN report says if we all start lowering emissions right now and someone figures out how to magically suck carbon from the atmosphere without burning fossil fuels to do it, then we could limit warming to 1.8 C and begin to bring it back down. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is cancelling renewable energy grants, opening up wilderness areas to gas and oil leasing, and stealing oil from Venezuela. So I am not holding my breath that we will be able to limit planetary warming to 1.8 C. However, I am more than willing to be proved wrong.

This last week in my little corner of the world saw temperatures 15 degrees (fahrenheit) above what currently constitutes normal. Because of shifting baselines, what is normal now is not the same as what was normal 20 years ago which was not the same normal as 20 years before that. Well and so, we’ve got ourselves in quite a bind. 

The heat and continued lack of rain has not helped in the drought department either. There were several days that began with a chance of rain, only to, er, dry up. And once again, the forecast is suggesting a good steady rainfall Monday night into Tuesday. I sure hope it happens.

Things are not all doom and gloom. The elderberries are picked and de-stemmed and in spite of all the jamming, there are two large bags in the freezer. Since I finished with the tedious elderberries, I needed some other tedious task and have spent a good many hours cleaning the seeds and tiny hairs out of the inside of rose hips. The hips were abundant this year and I could have picked more than I did, but the work of cleaning them got to be too much. They are currently in a big jar in the freezer until we have time to turn them into syrup which we plan to spice up with a bit of cardamom and ginger.

James has been busy with canning apples—apple butter, apple sauce, apple pie filling. Yesterday though he made a fantastic apple and raspberry pie. So delicious!

And I baked an apple crisp sourdough bread.

A garden surprise happened. Back in early April when I was doing indoor seed starting, I planted a couple pots with cucamelon (also known as mouse melon and sour gherkin). Nothing ever sprouted. When outdoor planting time came, I shoved the remaining seeds into the ground by a trellis. Two weeks later nothing had sprouted, so I planted some additional pole beans. The beans came up within days and I went on my merry way. But then two weeks after that, I noticed some odd little sprouts, could they be? I waited and watched, and sure enough, the cucamelon decided to actually sprout.

But while the sprouts got bigger and got a few more leaves, they didn’t seem like they were going to do anything else. About the middle of July they actually started growing and vining. The leaves and vines were so tiny I thought no way will they amount to anything.

Then last weekend I noticed the vines had fruit! The fruit is about the size of a large marble. They are supposed to taste like a citrousy sour cucumber. Ok, bring it! I popped one into my mouth. Delightfully crunchy! But all I tasted was cucumber, nothing sour, no hint of citrous, just cucumber. Frankly, cucumber is not my favorite flavor to begin with. Pickle a cucumber and I am there for it, but just plain cucumber flavor? Nope. 

I told a coworker about them and she wanted to try them, so I took some to her. She loved them and said she even got the sour taste. Hunh. I’m glad she liked them and if I get any more fruit they are hers. But I am disappointed and will not be growing them again.

Something I will be growing again is the green striped cushaw squash. They continue to get bigger and bigger, and the one denting down the top of my trellis arch is probably approaching 15 pounds at this point. I don’t think I’ve ever grown anything so huge and it is much more exciting than the tiny cucamelons! Clearly I am more impressed by large garden vegetables than tiny ones.

Have decided that when the new (school) year starts I want to be simpler & clearer in my opposition to the rampant rise of #AI: it’s not remotely compatible with the #ParisAgreement.

There’s lots of criticisms but many could be thrown at existing things:
- widespread theft? Waves at the history of the modern world..
- abandoning workers? The same..
- lowering quality? Literally capitalism’s middle name..
- cognitive decline? People said that about everything from social media to the written word.
- lock-in by monopolies run by ruthless billionaires who see privilege as a chance to squash democracy under their own delusions? As we enter the web’s fourth decade -most of the world’s governments still posting exclusively on X- it’s clearly no barrier for most.

But incompatibility with the only agreed upon path to limit a future of permanent heat waves, floods, food & refugee crisis for our kids? The scale of energy, water and resource use by the data centres is a whole new level of harm.

#IndigenousKnowledge is crucial in the fight against #ClimateChange – here’s why

Explainers
July 31, 2024

Summary

- Indigenous Peoples are custodians of unique knowledge and practices that emphasize the balance between humans and the natural world.
- Many Indigenous traditional practices offer effective climate solutions, such as sustainable agriculture systems and climate-resilient water management.
- By safeguarding key ecosystems that act as carbon sinks and protect #biodiversity, #IndigenousPeoples provide an environmental service to the rest of the world. However, they are frequently excluded from decision-making processes and their rights to lands and resources are not always respected.
- It is impossible to achieve the goals of the #ParisAgreement without full and effective participation of Indigenous Peoples and their free, prior and #InformedConsent.
- Governments must fully recognize the rights of Indigenous Peoples, provide them with direct access to climate finance and capacity building, and integrate Indigenous knowledge into climate policy."

Measuring Climate Change Progress by Infrastructure Deployment Rather than Temperature

Measuring Climate Change Progress by Infrastructure Deployment Rather than Temperature

In a new video, Climate Targets MISSED. What happens now?, the Just Have a Think YouTube channel discusses a new paper about measuring climate change progress with clean energy targets, not temperature targets, “to avoid the insidious narrative of climate failure, which risks backlash and doomerism.” They go on:

“Although the 1.5°C Paris agreement cannot be saved, a tolerable and safe climate – in which humans and other species can thrive – is still achievable. This will result not from setting distant unachievable goals, but through a more modest approach: to produce enough extra clean energy each year to climb the climate ladder towards a safer future without fossil fuels.”

The host, Dave Borlace discusses how solar installation has vastly exceeded projections for many years and battery prices have fallen by 90% in the last 15 years. He mentions that (paraphrase)

~~”With renewables electricity becomes a manufactured product instead of an extractive fuel product, and manufactured technologies follow a learning curve, getting cheaper with scale and deployment and more deployment drives further cost reductions, while fossil fuels extraction gets harder to reach and more expensive over time as the easier deposits are mined out. Global investment in renewables is now roughly double fossil fuels.” — “Fossil is unique in scale, accounting for about 90% of the CO2 problem (vs. deforestation, wildfires, and soil cultivation mainly), and is uniquely simple to describe and deal with as it is a one way transfer of carbon from the lithosphere to the atmosphere directly by humans”~~

Direct quote from 11:15-12:05 in the video:

“But I do think there’s something quite compelling about measuring progress by practical system replacement rather than simply atmospheric outcomes. Because in the real world it’s looking more and more like the climate emergency won’t be solved by fixating on temperature targets. To the extent that it can be solved it’ll likely be achieved via infrastructure. If we become convinced that the situation is hopeless then political momentum collapses, investment collapses, and public engagement collapses. But according to almost every major energy analysis published over the last few years, the clean energy transition is very clearly not collapsing despite the best efforts of certain political administrations. In fact in most sectors it’s accelerating. The real question now is whether it can accelerate fast enough.”

Finally here’s a chart for the uninitiated of CO2 concentrations from the last ice ages to now:
