Adapting to Accelerating Climate Disruption

[@hologramhouse729]

We are adapting to self annihilation

[@MyKharli]

yes that bit was a bit waffly , and repeating things we are not going to do isn't helping either .

[@SamWilkinsonn]

‘Adapting’ is an generous adjective.

[@Michael-ts1km]

Human are not capable of changing a behavior they see as beneficial in the here and now. Anyone who things human are going to make the necessary sacrifices to slow the effects of co2 on the environment hasn’t been paying attention. We have three choices 1. “Turn the ship around”. Make a major and massive change to the way we live and to our economy. 2. “Build Life Boats”. Start now to limit the impact of climate change, move people away for coastal land we know will be flooded, start building infrastructure to lands the will be able to grow food. 3. “Stay the Course”. Do nothing but talk about doing something Care to guess which one we have chosen?

Regenerative agriculture among Farmers heals the soil and makes a farmer solvent. If all agriculture proceeded this way it would make a huge effect on the climate.

How do you adapt to 120° days? How do you adapt to hurricane how do you adapt to a tornado? How do you adapt to forest fires? How do you adapt to large swaps of suburbia being rendered unusable because of climate? How do you adapt to that, the issue is that we are not facing something we can adapt to and fix and that we need to adjust our policies to reality instead of feeling the world with that there’s someway to adapt to living in a burnt out home

Restoring nature is good for every aspect of our predicament, good for degrading pollutants, stabilizing the water cycle, storing carbon and slowing or even reverting climate change. And it will be good for our physical and mental health too.

Were many decades past adaptation..

NASA published a time lapse video starting in the mid 80s up to 2020 which displays the consistent and terrifying steady loss of Arctic Sea loss. Data recently became available from the Navy of decades of measurements of sea ice thickness which was needed to know where nuclear submarines can surface. These measurements surprised scientists as the ice was thinner than expected, and the Naval Postgraduate School now has a running 6 month sea ice prediction and current condition monitoring site. The fear is the sea ice could almost entirely break apart and drift out to open waters during a high wind event polar storm creating what’s described as a blue ocean event and through loss of reflect-ability cause an estimated equivalent of the last 25 years of greenhouse gas accumulation. Arctic Sea ice becoming so thin or small in extent could result in an inability for an anchoring point for the seasonal winter ice to develop from, also causing the blue ocean event. Some reputable scientists had previously predicted that this would have already occurred, and some prophesize an abrupt tipping point between a livable planet and a short-lived calamity.

Adapting doesn’t mean reductionism but being reflective.

An article about how coal use globally is at a peak, but use at the high rate will continue.

[@treefrog3349]

There is no "adapting to". Active, sincere intervention (as implausible as that now seems) would be the only solution. But those solutions are antithetical to our entrenched power structure and their corporate cronies. There are truly "gypsies in the palace" who are living large at the expense of the entire edifice of human endeavor. It is good to be old.

Farmers in Australia have always used fire as a tool and fought bushfire as a whole community unit. All farmers have at least one fire appliance. When you see smoke you respond immediately, no one tells you what to do. Over the last 50 years, government fire authorities have assumed control over these community groups. They are useful for coordinating multiple agencies and have unlimited funding, but they have no feet on the ground, so rely on the local people. There are now many semi-rural settlers infiltrating these areas with no understanding of wildfires. This phenomenon, along with worsening climate extremes, demands continual modification of emergency planning. Farmers are accustomed to working in dangerous situations and being responsible for their own safety. But where there is a chain of responsibility, everything must be moderated to the lowest common denominator. It is so easy to lose someone's life in a bushfire situation, I have been involved with it multiple times.....there is no going back after that happens. The world is changing, and everything is getting more difficult. The old system of rating fire danger, now needs one extra level. Everything must be able to adapt quickly now.

[@ClimateEmergencyForum]

Thank you for sharing your valuable insights.

[@AlanBolshevik]

Nothing about the need to transform our social relations to remove considerations from our decisions on production and distribution so that "unprofitable" eco-friendly decisions can be made. Without this unfortunately all these fine words mean nothing.

[@ChiyoMarley]

Perhaps that’s the paper _you_ could write.

[@penquinseelandt6178]

A very good presentation!!!...well done!!!...

[@ClimateEmergencyForum]

Thanks for watching!

Right now 100s of millions of people are going hungry living and others are dying in dying in poverity. If as many people want they would be lifted out if poverty. They do not choose to be poor and given the choice would live like the average citizen of the United States, as shown by the millions of immigrants who find their way there. The result would be an increased negative impact on the environment.

[@helenhenthorn4948]

The only topic that needs to be discussed is the aerosol masking effect and a blue ocean event, the latter which we have no ability to stop as there will be based on best science no sea ice by 2030. The loss of Arctic sea ice is estimated to reduce aerosol masking over land by 113% and have the atmosphere heating effect equivalent to adding the last 25 years of greenhouse gas accumulation.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

There is no silver bullet, therefore, we need to discuss all options to go forward.

[@NikFeys]

So that basically means it's game over by 2031-'34?

[@Hermes1548]

Life is not sacred. Life is an accident. It is noise in the Universe. Look around: black, deaf, cold, dust, radioactive, and Black Holes.

[@AmberWest-kj8bh]

We need 800,000 community's globally, exactly 💯😎

[@TennesseeJed]

He said necromass!

[@aLeftLayman]

Materialism isn't the basis of our lives now??.. We're fucked, what a start to the video on our impending doom 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@AmberWest-kj8bh]

Very good, this is exactly correct, but we have to get active and not just discussing and enlightening. It has to be a combination of all these factors but we have to start restoration. UP WITH TREES IMPROVE THE BREEZE EVERYBODY GLOBALLY LEND A HAND PLEASE!!!!😮😅❤🎉

[@Magik1369]

29 COPS= Zero emissions reductions. The track record of this organization is deplorable. There is now 850 giga tons of C02 in the atmosphere, enough to kill all Life on Earth 20X over. Climate is now accelerating exponentially. The exponential impacts of multiple cascading tipping points will vastly accelerate climate change. Huge step index increase in global temperatures in which humans cannot survive are on our doorstep. It is too late now. The train left the station long ago. The time to address climate change was in 1988 when Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. James Hansen warned the US Congress, who did nothing to protect all life on Earth. The economy and building their nuclear military machine was more important to the fear and greed based politicians.

John Liu sure is high on the hopium.

[@richdiana3663]

We're cooked. Cheers.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

Wrt climate, Disruption is a better word than Change. But it'll get watered down to nothing, just like any other word we can come up with.

[@samuelsoroaster416]

The only meaningful debate should be how to stop fossil fuels.... everything else is a distraction.....

[@Gazr965]

It's always the cure, rarely prevention with Human mentality.

[@Gazr965]

As long as the'I want it all' types of Human exist, then the rest are doomed.

[@SamWilkinsonn]

There’s a *very* *talented* musician that claims Africa are leading the way, that emitting carbon makes negligible difference to our predicament and finally that we shouldn’t bother at all about our fossil fuel usage, instead focus all of our energy on plankton cultivation because that’s our only hope.

[@globalwarming382]

Hes wrong and right. Burning 🔥 fossil fuels ⛽️ is whats destroing the oceans from supporting plankton.

[@nsbd90now]

Stopped watching after the "White City" fantasy model.
