Climate Change and the Future of Cities | Eric Klinenberg

What qualities help assure that a community can survive the threat of disaster? The population density of cities leads to inherent vulnerabilities to mass climate disasters: such as single point of failure transit systems and utilities built prior to today's environmental realities. At the same time the resources of cities offer tremendous potential for preparation and innovation.
As a sociologist, Klinenberg brings insights on how neighborhood dynamics (what he calls "social infrastructure") can help individuals & communities prepare for extreme weather including flooding and heat waves. He discusses how cities can be wiser and think more long-term by planning traditional infrastructure projects which also enable such social infrastructure in their design.
"Climate Change and the Future of Cities" was given on March 07, 02017 as part of The Long Now Foundation's “Conversations at The Interval” Salon Talks. These hour long talks are recorded live at The Interval, our bar, cafe, & museum in San Francisco.

In the Netherlands, they’ve been planning, according to a docu I’ve seen, to allow certain areas of the country to flood, when it cannot be helped any more , and then float constructed platforms with grass for cows on those. They also have been building suburbs in Amsterdam, where the houses float and their anchorage let’s the house rise with the water yet still stay in place and keep their infra structure. Those are very flexible building techniques with an eye on sea level rise. At least they aren’t in denial of their future situation and now start planning and building while they still can. While the deniers will be really in trouble unprepared for it. In the US there are a lot of “preppers” , but they each individually prep just for their family & friends. They phantasize of an event which will fragment society into a dog-eat-dog world. Where their guns will be handy and they can use them. They’re working to make those ideas a reality too; I think they deep down think it’ll be fun, like a computer game. a big adventure. But if we want to survive in a reasonable way we all have to cooperate with each other and pull on the same rope all together, clear eyed and determined to do what it takes.

[@gailalbers1430]

Another innovative & forward thinking research those genius dutch are having success in is developing food plants that can thrive in semi salt water- I saw a docu about them developing those kind of carrots for example and testing them in the bangladeshi salt marshes or flood planes. The dutch are advanced gardeners !🥰

I keep trying to get preppers to understand this. Daily I am doing all I can to get them to understand that running to the mountains won't get it. The US right now is totally fragmented with children trying to be adults all at once and adults reverting to self centered childish behavior to evade and avoid the results of stupidity in the form of insane consumerism. The floating house that can rise with the tide is interesting. The sunsets will be beautiful I hope. That cow situation is a little weird though. I am astounded by the psychosis here. People are moving to the coastlines and building homes. More concrete, more delusion. And sadly all the popcorn and butter in this country is GMO.

[@teddybearroosevelt1847]

@@ThePerimeters Yeah. You guys in the US are definitely in a situation where a lot of people are gonna get squeezed by the elitist culture that doesn’t even care about the health of its citizens (with the whole American food culture) and all of these technologies such as old fashioned cars and ways of organizing things that worked in the 20th century, but that will end up hurting lots of Americans in this day and age. Here in the Netherlands at least we have decent public transport networks, a smaller gap between rich and poor, we’re one of the largest food exporters in the world and one of the biggest transport hubs in Europe for food (and lots of other things), so we’re good in that regard. But all of that will be in vain if the oceans will rise to the extent where we can’t possibly keep the water out any more. In those scenarios many coastline metropoles in the US and many other countries will also have to be given up, so the metaphorical sh*t will really hit the fan then. And of course if the world economy collapses, we’re also in deep trouble. But at least there are a few things that should keep us from being too pessimistic about the next few decades.

Unfortunately, the US is still building its cities for the car not for the people. As long as it happens, there is no durability built into US cities and violence festers (people become enraged behind the wheel). The NL has moved to a human model for at least 20 years. Their cities are super nice, there are few commuters who drive, you see large numbers of people everywhere. People use cargo bikes for shopping and moving furniture. It's wonderful and should be copied by all. Take Chicago or NYC. These are tiny towns and there should no problem for people to get around on bikes, as long as cars are few. Paradoxically if there were fewer cars and a lot more bikes, there would also be fewer people taking the underground for short trips.

- CO2 at 0.04% is a 2,500th part of the atmosphere. That means to warm the climate by just 1"C carbon dioxide molecules must capture 2,500"C of heat energy. That is impossible. It also breaks the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. Methane at 0.00017% is a 600,000th of the atmosphere so it's even more impossible. However, the climate is changing. This is because of deliberate geoengineering programmes, in particular ozone thinning away from the poles. Though largely unreported ozone thinning effect is directly observable, this summer you can see a unnaturally bright sun just as we did last year. Under these conditions the pain felt when looking at the sun is not only from the increase in visible light but the much larger increase in infrared. (Look up at the sky and you will see a range of geoengineering operations in progress, these include chemtrail induced cloud or hazing, ripple patterns caused by HAARP installations, bizarre and unnatural cloud formations). Climate change is a programme to force change in accordance with the implementation of Agenda 21 /2030. Current events demonstrate this transition is well underway and will involve massive population cull through injected nanotech (re transhumanist programme). Agenda 21 also sees the permanent loss of all property rights with the introduction of universal basic income (ref NESARA/GESARA) and has/is being promoted by The World Economic Forum. 'You will own nothing and you will be happy' WEF In a depopulated world the surviving brainwashed and controlled population will be confined to mega cities. Carbon limits will be used to restrict consumption and liberty. Meanwhile the re-greened wilderness will be the exclusive playground of the ultra rich elite posing as conservationists. The CO2 hoax amounts to the theft of the world and the enslavement of humanity by a parasitic few. Welcome to the future! _________ I have included a debunking of 'accumulated heat' as it is so often used to explain how trace elements, so called 'greenhouse gasses', can warm the planet. Accumulated heat whilst sounding a reasonable explanation of how heat can build up is rather nothing more than gobbledygook. In fact it shows those using such arguments do not even understand what heat is. When we measure temperature we are measuring the heat energy a thing is losing. In short heat is a measurement of flow, the transfer of heat energy and this will always be in the direction towards the colder. For this reason a thing can never 'accumulate heat' in the way those advocating CO2 climate change describe. The temperature of a body is the measure of heat output, it can never be greater than the measure of heat input. Output = input. When a thing is warmed it is heated to an equivalent of the heat input. If this input is not maintained it will cool. Those that propose that heat can build up to be hotter than the total measure of heat input at a given time either do not understand what heat is or are being deliberately misleading. To illustrate, an object being heated by a flame can never become hotter than that flame, it's temperature cannot rise inexorably to the temperature of the sun for instance. Heat cannot be accumulated. When we think about it common sense tells us this must be the case. NASA and even Nobel Prize winning physicists have expounded 'accumulated heat' as the explanation how CO2 is able to warm the atmosphere. They claim that over hundreds of years CO2 has captured heat energy and this heat has 'accumulated' to produce a serious warming effect. As I have just explained, this is totally impossible and fundamentally violates all the laws of thermodynamics. That respected scientists should support such uneducated, unthinking nonsense is disturbing and only reflects that in terms of being able to think clearly about a subject they have no facility or inclination. These are the Dark Ages of science. Belief has outweighed logic or any critical thought. It tells us that we should not unquestioningly accept anything we are told, that experts can be fools. (NB: be aware of attempts to discard thermodynamics by talking about biology. Eg. 'It only takes a drop of arsenic to kill a person.' This would be somewhat desperate, muddled thinking. Clearly biological processes based on the reaction of a cell are not the same as the laws of physics/thermodynamics).

@@doobidoo095I dont understand how you can speak about thermodynamics and not understand how insulation works. If you want proof that you can make something hotter than a heat source just look at a slam rod fire starter. There is no heat source except the air in the rod, but when you compress the air you compress all the kinetic energy the particles have into a smaller space, making the energy density higher; the acrylic of the rod *insulates* the air, keeping the heat from escaping, like CO2 does, letting the the air get hot enough to turn into plasma that can start a fire.

Yes basically what climate change is doing is causing a uneven distribution of energy across the planet. For every one degree of climate-change 7% of all the moisture in the world's oceans is absorbed into the atmosphere. That increases flooding in areas that normally see just rain but now Racine record flooding. Hail storms are increasing in intensity and countries that normally don't see them. Heat waves are caused by Arctic amplification and that causes the jet stream to stall in different parts of the planet which is attributed to large flooding events and deadly heat waves. Humans are 100% responsible for deforestation and increasing CO2 levels across the planet.

So why aren’t we distributing the snow/water which we need more of, as we (including animals and crops) die in days with water, in weeks without food. Short term solution I know, but we need both short and long term solutions.

There are at least 25,000 miles of desert coastline next to seawater, that if planted with a plant that uses seawater to grow, these plants would both store CO2 in their roots and create a clean oil in their seeds. Plant these deserts all over the world and the issue of CO2 would end, plus a renewable new supply of energy in its seeds would assure the world of an energy supply. These plants after maturing and reducing their CO2 removal and their oil from their seeds could be mixed with coal to reduce coal-powered CO2 emissions by at least 50 percent, allowing the continued use of these generators thus keeping electricity more affordable.

Well, it seems the thing we need to do for the poorest people in the world is to help them take advantage of fossil fuels so they can have AC, irrigation, and life-saving advantages of energy. We have done this in other countries like the USA. In the USA, we grew the population in hotter and dryer areas because of the use of fossil fuels. We created AC for cooling and pumps for irrigation and improved everything from healthcare, jobs, technology, and more because we had fossil fuels. I think we are confusing climate change, something it has done for millions of years. We can protect ourselves from the climate if we take advantage of fossil fuels, especially in the poorest populations. Unfortunately, too many have been sucked into a non-problem and are attacking the most helpful resources (fossil fuels) to protect human life. It is inhumane for wealthy countries to keep fossil fuels from the poorest population. We should focus on bringing more energy to the world, and fossil fuels are the ONLY way to do this ASAP. Solar and wind are nowhere close to being able to provide this level of energy to the world. The world has such an abundance of fossil fuels if we keep the academics from destroying our ability to provide them to help the rest of the world. I hear all these catastrophizing alarms, but we don't talk about what we can actually do to manage the climate. Something we have been doing for 200 years using fossil fuels. More people die from cold than heat, but we have shown we can manage this climate challenge with fossil fuels. We can destroy ourselves by keeping ourselves from using fossil fuels, which is the biggest danger. Think about it: if we take fossil fuels away, we all suffer and die. But if we take advantage of them, we all flourish. We all need to stop and really think about what we are doing. This temperature alarmism is so crazy and sad. The world has had a lot more CO2 in the world than we have now, and what was the condition of the world? Well, it was super green, and more plant life. To say the world will collapse in a few years is crazy unless we do it to ourselves because we don't take advantage of fossil fuels. We need to focus on mastering the climate using fossil fuels than taking them away and creating a worldwide disaster due to a lack of life-saving energy. In short, we can either be problem solvers or ignorant sheep. If you would like to learn about the facts, I recommend reading the book: "Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas-Not Less" by Alex Epstein.

If you think I’m wrong look around we’ve had the greatest wealth growth ever on the entire planet and all its done is made live paradise for a very few while making life much more difficult for the vast majority. We don’t care about each other and the very few ultra thieves truly don’t care about anyone but themselves. They would easily let you die if it involved them losing a very small amount of their financial security. And ones again if you do t believe me just look around. They fly to space instead of paying their employees, they fight anything which may help large parts of society because it may cause them to pay taxes. The apocalypse is coming and the few are brainwashing you to obey so it makes it easier for them to keep what they have. If we want to slow climate change we could simply confiscate the excess the very few stole off of us by avoiding taxes over the last 50 years and use that money to fund people to learn how to feed themselves without working for a international warlord corporation.

REMOTE NEURAL MONITORING. Neuronal activity in the brain creates a shifting electrical pattern that has a shifting magnetic flux. This magnetic flux puts out a constant 30-50 Hs, 5 milliwatt electromagnetic wave. Contained in the electromagnetic emission from the brain are spikes and patterns called 'evoked potentials.' Every thought, reaction , motor command, auditory event, and visual image in the brain has a corresponding 'evoked potential' or set of 'evoked potentials.' The EMF emission from the brain can be decoded into the current thoughts, images and sounds in the subject's brain. NSA SIGNAL INTELLIGENCE uses EMF-transmitted brain stimulation as a communications system to transmit information as well as nervous system messages to intelligence agents and also to transmit information to the brains of covert operations subjects on a non-perceptible level. EMF Brain Stimulation works by sending a completely coded and pulsed electromagnetic signal to trigger evoked potential events in the brain, thereby forming sound and visual images in the brain's neural circuits. EMF Brain Stimulation can also change a person's brain-states and affect motor control. Two way electronic brain link is done by remotely monitoring neural audiovisual information while transmitting sound to the auditory cortex bypassing the ears and transmitting faint images to the visual cortex bypassing the optic nerves and eyes. The images appear as floating 2D screens in the brain. Two-way electronic brain link has become the ultimate communications system for CIA/NSA personnel. REMOTE NEURAL MONITORING which is remotely monitoring bioelectric information in the human brain has become the ultimate surveillance system. It is being used throughout the Republic of Ireland and throughout most of the rest of the world. I am being subjected to both remote neural monitoring and remote neural manipulation for approximately twenty years that I am fully aware of. My name is Gretta Fahey and my postal address is Newbrook, Claremorris, Co. Mayo, Eircode F12 Y560, Republic of Ireland. I am placing my name and address on this post because a crime is being committed against me and it should be investigated but the Gardai don't have to investigate it because they can simply deny that it is occurring and I can not yet prove that it is occurring on a continual ongoing basis. I know of many other Irish people who are experiencing both remote neural monitoring and remote neural manipulation and the gardai wont investigate their claims either. Why is that? Today's date is 26th April, 2023. If the Gardai don't investigate and put a stop to all cases of Remote neural Monitoring combined with remote neural manipulation throughout the Republic of Ireland it will eventually lead to permanent enslavement of the human race for all eternity, including themselves and their own children.
