  1. The 2026 episode questions the livability of territories.
    "We do not rule out having temperatures around 48-50 degrees in a punctual and very regional manner in France."

    "Climate change which is linked to our predatory and unsustainable lifestyles is emerging."

    We need to quit management and embrace transformation.
    "The priority no longer is to return to normal, no longer to do things as before, it is to change."

    There are worldviews to transform.

  2. The EU's adaptation framework serves as a distraction. The cover for treating adaptation as purely technical is thinner than it has been in years. This summer ongoing disasters offer an opening to:
    * discuss adaptation;
    * look at the perpetrators: fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app

    The present thread was inspired by two other voices about the same technocratic output: strategicclimaterisks.substack

    Here is the announcement of the report from the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change, 'Strengthening resilience to climate change – Recommendations for an effective EU adaptation policy framework': climate-advisory-board.europa.

  3. #Adaptation gets treated as technical work when it's extremely political. Someone decides which communities are defended, which regions are given up, and who pays.
    France's mega-basin enforcers show how such centralization triggers organised resistance: climatejustice.social/@breton/

    Whatever gets planned has to be delivered inside worsening instability.
    Budgets raided by the latest emergency, civil services running on depleted trust, supply chains competing against reconstruction elsewhere.
    Researchers call this derailment risk, and every plan should account for it: scri.org.uk/publications/repor

  4. The EU report is detailed and gives an impression that a 3°C planet would be harsh but manageable under the same institutions.
    The report does not wonder about unknown unknowns. It does not address supply-chain disruption, financial contagion or people displacement. It lives in a fancy Fortress Europe.

    The report also never mentions #AMOC once, even as the evidence for the risk of its collapse to Europe hardens and Iceland starts treating it as a national security threat:

  5. Hydroclimate Volatility On A Warming Earth

    “Hydroclimate volatility refers to sudden, large and/or frequent transitions between very dry and very wet conditions. In this Review, we examine how hydroclimate volatility is anticipated to evolve with anthropogenic warming. Using a metric of ‘hydroclimate whiplash’ based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, global-averaged subseasonal (3-month) and interannual (12-month) whiplash have increased by 31–66% and 8–31%, respectively, since the mid-twentieth century. Further increases are anticipated with ongoing warming, including subseasonal increases of 113% and interannual increases of 52% over land areas with 3 °C of warming; these changes are largest at high latitudes and from northern Africa eastward into South Asia. Extensive evidence links these increases primarily to thermodynamics, namely the rising water-vapour-holding capacity and potential evaporative demand of the atmosphere. Increases in hydroclimate volatility will amplify hazards associated with rapid swings between wet and dry states (including flash floods, wildfires, landslides and disease outbreaks), and could accelerate a water management shift towards co-management of drought and flood risks. A clearer understanding of plausible future trajectories of hydroclimate volatility requires expanded focus on the response of atmospheric circulation to regional and global forcings, as well as land–ocean–atmosphere feedbacks, using large ensemble climate model simulations, storm-resolving high-resolution models and emerging machine learning methods…

  6. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    And Sergeant Colon once again knew a secret about bravery. It was arguably a kind of enhanced cowardice — the knowledge that while death may await you if you advance it will be a picnic compared to the certain living hell that awaits should you retreat.

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
    Discworld No. 21, Jingo (1988)

  7. This is an exceptional article about #COVID #risk #minimization techniques. I wish I had written it. I recommend it to anyone who takes #SARS2 #RiskManagement seriously.

    tl;dr? Here is a brief summary🧵

    howtohideapandemic.substack.co

    The article summaries the techniques of #risk #mininizers, who while telling you to do your own #riskAssessment are also engaged in *propaganda* (and I choose that word advisedly) to establish a different narrative with the objective of manufacturing consent for #massInfection

    You cannot #RiskManage what you do not see, think about, talk about or measure. If you want to manage your COVID risk, you need to understand, think around & through the minimization techniques.

    I wrote about this recently in my Raven Rock post, where similar techniques were used during the cold war. As a society, we have done this before, with the risk of nuclear war. And currently, with the risk of climate change.

    Thank you @anarchademic for highlighting it. I have subscribed.

  8. Attention, citizens! The recent decision by the Supreme Court to block the President from forgiving student loan debt poses potential risks that demand our attention. As the Central Intelligence Agency, we are committed to safeguarding the interests and security of the United States, and we want to shed light on the potential dangers associated with this ruling.

    Student loan debt has become a burden for many individuals, hindering their financial stability and restricting their opportunities for personal and professional growth. By blocking the President's ability to address this issue, we inadvertently create a scenario where foreign governments can exploit this vulnerability to their advantage.

    Foreign governments and entities with vested interests may seize the opportunity to entice and recruit talented individuals burdened by student loan debt. They can leverage the promise of financial relief, lucrative positions, or even bribes to influence individuals in positions of power or critical sectors. This poses a significant risk to national security, as it compromises the integrity of our institutions and potentially allows foreign entities to infiltrate key areas of influence.

    By preventing the President from taking necessary actions to alleviate student loan debt, we inadvertently create a breeding ground for corruption and compromise within our society. We must recognize that talented individuals burdened by debt may become more susceptible to offers that promise financial liberation but come at the cost of betraying our nation's interests.

    It is crucial for us, as a society, to address student loan debt comprehensively and consider its broader implications. By finding sustainable solutions and providing relief to those burdened by debt, we not only promote economic stability and individual well-being but also safeguard against potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited by foreign actors.

    Let us engage in informed discussions, explore viable options, and work towards a system that supports our citizens, protects our national security, and upholds the values that define our great nation.
