Over 40 years ago Carl Sagan warned us against triggering a "Runaway Greenhouse". I thought we started this the first week of July 2023, and I haven't changed my mind. I would love to hear the phrase "Runaway Greenhouse" used some day. I think it applies.

[@singingway]

When I talk about scaling back our energy use, I often get a sarcastic response "what do you want us all to go live in caveman days?" I think we need to acknowledge that there is a lot of civilization prior to the use of fossil fuels. There were ways of living which were comfortable, elegant, and which had art and music, sophisticated philosophy, and schools of education. And no, they were not all elitist. As David Graeber 's book The Dawn of Everything points out. We need to look to the past as examples of how to " do" civilization with a drastically cut energy use.

[@charlesmiller8107]

Yes, you're right and there was no education which allowed religious zealots to control the population. We are having a resurgence of that globally right now especially in the US. They also didn't modern medicine and vaccines but I suppose you will be the first to give that up to be a poor painter. They also didn't have much of a future either since multiple generations went by with very little change or improvement. Feel free to go back to the days of ancient Greece but the rest of us are gonna move forward and find a solution.

[@vtfollett]

You're right, of course, but many of those civilizations that flourished and then disappeared did so because of habitat destruction. As far as we know, earth's population has never approached 9 billion. And certainly the level of consumption has never approached what it is today. The combination is simply unsustainable.

[@J.M.-nb4gw]

Agree with you 💯 I'm 65 years old environmental activist and have probably used about 25% of the energy than the average American. I live in a suburb of a large metropolitan City in the US Midwest and the huge waste of energy in our commercial residential industrial and government facilities is obvious. We could have easily cut our energy consumption by 50% but people are too addicted to cars and electricity

[@sedonars1]

Focusing on children is no longer the only worry. This is going to effect everyone Xistentyalee in the coming years, not decades. It's at that point for many round the world already, and will be for the rest of us sooner than we'd like to admit. The ones who are able to make changes have clearly made their mind up (BAU). We need to be promoting rvlootion, not inconsequential tweaks to the current systems (that are only implemented to assuage the masses.) This isn't dfeetism, it still offers a route forwards. Denying the severity of our current pruhdicamaant allows people to delay akchun, while also turning the people in the know unsayne because they can't openly talk about it due to taboo (Overton window).

Excellent show. I'm following all across the big pond, in Belgrade, Serbia. While I AM aware of the storm that hit Houston, I wasn't aware of the extent of damage it actually made. What can we all do in cities to mitigate the heat icelands that concrete creates. First of all, topography is what "guides" you. You can't do much about it.Then, people want to plant trees. Probably the effect will be felt in 10, 15 years. But, the famous 3 R s are what everyone reading this should implement (reduce reuse recycle) to PROBABLY reduce what our (and their) children will live through. I will just give here an example of my city, where the urbanisation experts of the 60ies and 70ies did not have in mind, and due to that (this is just one detail) there was a waterfall on hilly city outskirts.

To live in a world without fossil fuels we will need to shrink the economy, population and energy use (no matter its source). We need to come to peace with lower standards of living because we will not have any choice. Modern agriculture is the use of land to turn petrochemical products into food. We can not feed more than 2 or 3 billion people without fossil fuels. I wish that climate activists would talk about this more. We will be compelled to abandon BAU. There is a green economy possible, just not this one but no one, not even most environmentalists are prepared for this. BAU depends on trucking. Battery powered semi trailers with the payload cut in half by the weight of the batteries will lower living standards. Flying batteries in lieu of aviation fuel are not going to work. Container ships fuelled by batteries are not going to happen. A green shipping future will have far smaller ships, lifting costs and lowering living standards. Instead of EVs let's have fewer cars, ICE or EVs. A global car fleet (not possible because of resource limits) would only replace one lot of environmental problems with another and one geopolitical reality of colonialism for oil with another colonialism and another geopolitical reality involving other wars because the raw materials including rare earth minerals needed are often in unfriendly areas of the world. It's really global warming that is the problem. It is overshoot. Humanity is too big. A too large a segment of the biosphere and simply changing the energy mix doesn't change that. We need red pilled environmentalism and not the blue pilled environmentalism of most climate activists. We need to come off our collective hopium habit.

Looks like the vast area of suburban housing in Houston does contribute considerable to the flooding . I see roads, driveways and single floor houses, all in neat square blocks. There are some trees in the older suburbs, but the more recently neighborhoods are without them. Perhaps change the way these residential areas are designed into something more able to cope with high levels of rainfall ( and a bit more divers )? Add some waterways and lakes or flood lands ? Equip houses with underground rainwater storage both to reduce floods and to use for watering plants during dry spells? Not only neatly mowed lawns, but some lower borders with more natural planting ?

What about increase in water vapour

[@ClimateEmergencyForum]

The increase in water vapor in the atmosphere is indeed an important factor in climate change, but it's crucial to understand its role correctly: ## Water Vapor as a Feedback, Not a Driver 1. Water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas, responsible for about half of Earth's greenhouse effect[1]. 2. However, increased water vapor doesn't cause global warming; it's a consequence of it[1]. ## The Amplification Effect 1. As the atmosphere warms due to other greenhouse gases like CO2, it can hold more water vapor[1][4]. 2. For every 1°C of atmospheric warming, water vapor in the atmosphere can increase by about 7%[1][4]. 3. This additional water vapor further warms the atmosphere, creating a positive feedback loop[1]. ## Magnitude of the Effect 1. The water vapor feedback approximately doubles the warming that would occur due to increasing CO2 alone[1][3]. 2. Since the 1970s, the rise in water vapor has likely increased global heating by an amount comparable to that from rising CO2[4]. ## Scientific Consensus The evidence is now overwhelming that combined water vapor and lapse rate processes provide the strongest positive feedback in the climate system[5]. While water vapor is a critical component of climate change, it's important to remember that it's responding to and amplifying the warming caused by human-emitted greenhouse gases, particularly CO2. Addressing these primary drivers remains crucial for mitigating climate change.

25:40 I don't believe that, "We have known for decades we can replace all fossil fuel energy with renewable energy." No, nobody has shown that.

[@ClimateEmergencyForum]

Mark Z. Jacobson has been advocating for the feasibility of converting the world to renewable energy since at least 2009. In that year, he and Mark Delucchi published a significant plan in *Scientific American* proposing that the world could be powered entirely by renewable energy sources like wind, water, and solar (WWS) within two decades[2][6]. This plan addressed various issues related to the transition, such as the energy required in a 100% electric world, the spatial footprint of wind farms, and the availability of materials needed for new systems. Jacobson's work has consistently emphasized that existing technologies are sufficient to achieve a complete transition to renewable energy. He argues that the world can rapidly get 100% of its energy from renewable sources without relying on "miracle technologies" like carbon capture or new nuclear power plants[3]. His research has shown that such a transition would not only be feasible but also economically beneficial, potentially reducing energy costs and improving public health by slashing air pollution[5][8]. Over the years, Jacobson has expanded his studies to include detailed roadmaps for transitioning individual states, countries, and even 139 nations globally to 100% renewable energy by 2050. These roadmaps outline the infrastructure changes needed, the number of renewable energy generators required, and the potential economic and health benefits of such a transition[2][8]. His work has influenced policies and inspired initiatives aimed at achieving significant reductions in carbon emissions through the adoption of renewable energy.

I don't worry over this, I have more pressing concerns. Only if those other concerns were taken care of would I have such a luxury. The world changes, always has.

YELLOW STONE ERUPT PLEASE

[@thec0mmnmann822]

Come gather round people wherever you roam, and admit that the waters around you have grown and accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin.. Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone for the climate is a-changin. With apologies to Bob.

❤ extreme weather has always been occuring on Planet Earth. What has made it more evident is the internet and mobile phone photography which make these weather events more evident by recording them and broadcasting them live on TV news and social media for everyone to see. This phenomenon began in the mid 1990s with mobile phones becoming more prevalent.

[@sedonars1]

Nice try! Are you the President of the IDIOCENE?

[@nottenvironmental6208]

Except that the extreme weather is not being reported on any fossil media in Australia. Not a word about Toronto last week. Thus you're premise is already proven wrong by the media data readily available. Have a look b4 comments please. Not hard, but does catch lazy people out regularly

I've taken steps to shield my grandchildren from the worst of climate change. think 20 years into the future and you'll realize there wont be much left of the technological world you a so familiar with. fossil fuels drive our economy's and way of life. those who live off and on the land will be saved the worst of climate change. very dark days ahead. the best you can hope for is a level of peace as the horror rolls over the top of us and changes the planet forever.

[@charlesmiller8107]

Sure you have. What are you a billionaire and you built them a bunker with 20 years worth of food and water? I hope you brought books a good teacher and good healthcare.

[@dermotmeuchner2416]

And a lot of weed 😂

[@scottyoung1489]

8 Billion people is too few, we need 16 Billion people, 32 Billion people or best yet 64 Billion people ASAP because more wonderful people means more brilliant minds to solve these environmental problems.

[@elainebraindrain3174]

Nuts

[@DoseofTruth]

Ha!

[@reverands571]

Is that irony or sarcasm, that is the question. Is it better, during the course ... Can't semi-quote Shakespeare, this early in the morning (to be or not to be)

[@ErnestOfGaia]

if old folks really cared about children you would do more, but ya'll like your priviliges, i understand. Do any Universities actually have a positive carbon footprint? nope. A lot of research and reports but not even universities are doing much different.

[@johnmitchell8925]

Gonna be an exciting year

[@Xandercorp]

You say this like it's their fault. Its not. Its heavily on the super rich and also on the mass consumption trends of everyone.

[@jeromeburdine966]

Climate change, 😉🙄

[@congerthomas1812]

Right, the continued cycle of our sun and it's planets! Just like the other Many cycles we have had. All the built Wonder's of the World, including hundreds that academia won't admit!

[@charlesbusch8739]

When has the universe ever had unchanging weather???

[@patricialongo5870]

So you refuse to stop blowing that gas powered leaf mover? Good excuse .

[@robertjsmith]

Man made climate change

[@reverands571]

Is anyone looking at the CO2 ppm effect on advanced Human thinking, especially in indoor air where Science and Engineering actually happens? My amateur research shows drowsiness and confusion beginning somewhere between 400-700 ppm. It will take increasing amounts of outside air to maintain levels below that, since the outside air is increasing rapidly towards that lower threshold number. Keep in mind, that the Worldwide figure is on a mountaintop location. What are the CO2 levels in our cities? In our tech centers? Even, in our bunkers and centers of political decision making? We are increasingly confined, by temperature extremes, to be indoors for longer and longer periods of time. The cumulative effect is bound to be detrimental. We Humans are amazingly robust in a physical sense, but a little less so, in the mental sense. It's not directly parallel to high altitude effects, since it's about the higher faculties of the brain. But, what do I know, at 3 AM, before coffee---lolololol

[@josephscott1952]

The Sun is much hotter and at its Solar Maximum this is heating earths equator higher than normal and the heat increases the Trade winds and raises the speed of the Jet stream so when this happens there's plenty of heat to circulate rapidly upwards when a cold front pushes thru. Higher humidity from drenched regions will be more fuel for more violent storms

[@StabilisingGlobalTemperature]

We need to deploy Solar Radiation Maagement right now. At scale.

[@sudd3660]

please no more large scale anything, less tech and machines. and more simplification of human living. and reduce the population.
