" or planting trees in urban areas that can't survive hot summers..." Been planting trees here in the tropics. It is not the heat that kills trees. It is the lack of water.

[@reuireuiop0]

If it's not water, it's herds of hungry farm animals running wild - and locals not accustomed to the idea of keeping forests. Friends worked in Niger planting trees, cooperating with locals . Went away after 3 years, report came back after ten years - all new forests were gone, except one that'd been adopted by the village elders - who demanded and got a reward for every tree cut. The idea of planting forests was so strange to local culture, that after three years, it had not been incorporated in local custom, except that one village were the chief had remained involved - as he got some profit out of it. In those ten years, that one village also saw water from it's sources improve, cause that forest was located in upper catchment. Only then, the new ideas caught on

[@unitedfarmer8370]

Michael, the damage is what gives your money its value. Human action is the problem. There was never a budget for a species to break out of its ecological niche and decide it rules the world. We're hairless chimps that have been taking credit for the work done by oil for the last 200 years. What action do we take that doesn't make this worse? It's specifically our belief that we are in control that is driving the collapse of the ecosphere in the first place. What we need is humanity to lose its ego or wipe itself out. Without humanity's weird obsession with being in charge of everything, the planet would be fine. The hard truth is that we're not needed or wanted as part of this ecosystem any more than a person needs their cancer to protect them.

[@gjward64]

This is an excellent video for explaining simply the IPCC findings. I especially am interested in learning more about adaptation, which humanity has done very well over the last 100 years. There are so many fantastic technologies being tried right now, and hopefully, green hydrogen power is not too far away. The share of renewables for the generation of electricity is expected to reach 30 % by 2024. But electricity makes up just 18% of total world energy. Most of the other 82% is heat and transportation. Renewable energy is on the rise but still makes up a small share of the TOTAL global energy consumption - about 4 %. It must also be remembered however that Climate Action and Climate Anxiety affect rich developed countries, where only 15% of the world's population live. For the rest of the world which is still developing, they need fossil fuels to access the best medicines, agricultural efficiencies, transportation, and other benefits that we have had from fossil fuels. The UN Sustainable Goals has it's number 1 priority as reducing poverty, which still affects 700m people in the world, mostly in the middle of India, as well as war-torn countries and sub-Saharan Africa. Unfortunately, there are still too many authoritarian and corrupt governments that we should be working to bring into line, such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, Venezuela. Improving health and education, gender equality, and water quality are all top priorities for impoverished and developing countries. The world must also be careful not to be obsessed with climate action anxiety, as the actual data on world food production is positive. There is tremendous advances in green technologies for agriculture, aquaculture, vertical farming and soil reclamation. Let's not also forget the positive impact of climate change on increased green foliage covering the world's surface, and higher temperatures reducing deaths from cold. Deaths from cold are 4 times greater than deaths from heat. As seen in the tragedy of Ukraine, rushing the transformation to renewables in some European countries simply transfers the fossil fuel production to countries such as Russia, where human rights, environmental standards and now a brutal war against an innocent country have resulted.

I hope you guys are invested in algaculture and land-based omega-3 production. If you need a real life demo for how important and deficient we all are in these essential fatty acids, try giving your dog omegas as a treat rather than other treats and watch them turn shiny and lose any skin issues over a week. The reason we're all deficient is that the source of omegas is algae and diatoms at the bottom of the marine foodweb. These are also the organisms being pickled by acidification (especially diatoms who live in glass houses). The omegas in fish come from the food chain, not the fish, so the omegas in fish are dropping (esp. in farmed fish but also in wild caught). There are no good sources for EPA/DHA/ARA on land but there's a lot of promise in growing algae for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA's). This is the only industry that's a win for everything: takes pressure off the oceans, provides better and more consistent omegas to consumers without any contaminants, creates a potentially indefinite source of an essential nutrient in a world where natural sources are going extinct, and does all of this with sea water, sunlight, and waste for fuel. If you've seen what's happening in the oceans, you know it's heading in the direction of those oceans emptying of life. This is an industry that needs development ASAP. Ideally heading in the direction of containerized algal farms that can grow and harvest algae with only solar power, to provide essential nutrition around the world.

Adaptive strategies within the realm of oppressive and exploitative capitalism will always fail, and never be enough to face the challenges described here in such a great summary. For measures to be taken well by people in their locations you need true pluralistic democracy, like in Rojava or Chiapas, otherwise every measure taken is handicapped by structural measures that undermine all the efforts. We need system change to solve this climate crisis.

[@egoDEATH33]

@@anthonymorris5084 Each of those 3 sentences is untrue. There is no democratic plurality or autonomy or free societies in "the West". A book that argues this case is "Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization" Abdullah Ocallan. It's often those with privileges who claim the west's greatness. Ignoring inequality, racism, class oppression, gender oppression, and more besides. Western societies are oppressive societies. Capitalism holds up a sliding scale of liberalism to fascism, the historical record shows us this. Not free or democratic societies. The greater the "progress", actually the decrease in freedom, there is no choice to not be employed under wage exploitation under state sanctified oppression. If we were free we would be able to choose. Capitalist indoctrination is so powerful people are stopped from understanding even basics of freedom and equality. Social reproduction is an excellent case in point, see Silvia Federicci. Or on racism see bell hooks. Or class oppression see D Hunter.

[@terrylook7632]

​@@anthonymorris5084 Hi Anthony, OK I will engage. I believe that you are putting the cart before the horse. It is technological development that has created our world, not economic growth. Economic growth has been possible since the industrial revolution through a combination of expansion into as yet untapped resources and markets combined with rapid scientific and technological advances. This means that for two or three centuries it has been possible to develop a monetary and financial system that relies on the continued expansion of all three of these factors, i.e. resources, markets and new technologies. This period has brought us many wonders which we would not like to lose, probably first among many is modern medicine. It has also wrought ecological disasters from the dust bowl to the loss of the Aral Sea. Unless you can entirely disconnect consumption from environmental impact there must be a limit to growth generated by new resources and markets. This leaves only technological development as an engine of growth. Many economists believe that this is sufficient, but I disagree. A strategy relying on that assumption amounts to continuously gambling our future on new technologies as yet unknown. I do not have the knowledge or expertise to recast the financial system but I contend that it should be able to meet the needs of the people without expansion and then expand into any new space created by science and technology.

hi brendan, i'm not sure i would call it a maladaptation, it would probably fall into the emissions mitigation bucket (that's the next report). I'm not totally up-to-date on the numbers today, but I think gas is only slight better emissions-wise (if at all, depending on how much lost methane occurs in transport/capture) than coal. I do think you could make a compelling argument that getting off coal as fast as possible is better for human health since the mining and burning is just so devastating.

[@petercoxable]

@@zentouro you need to be up to date with your numbers if you’re going to make a video like this and respond to comments. And if no methane is lost/released during transportation and production/capture, how does that make it a safer/better anthropogenic GHG?.

[@Lectical]

@@petercoxable As I understand it, if methane is lost during capture it would mean greater emissions for the same amount of captured gas. If a fracking site has a gas leak, that will result in a smaller ratio of energy to emissions and thus a worse energy source for GHG emissions. Is there a reason why you think it might not work that way?

[@petercoxable]

@@Lectical Firstly, I appreciate your question. Now, just to make myself clearer, my question was asking, if no methane was lost during transport and production/capture, how would that make it a safer GHG? See, it’s tough to measure how much is actually lost in these processes; It can be anywhere from 10% to 20%. Given the transition to renewables, the former is probably more accurate. Methane is a trace amount gas and makes up for 1.7 PPM in volume or 0.00017% of the atmosphere. There’s very mixed arguments what make methane anthropogenic and what doesn’t. Eg. If you put compost through an aerobic process, any methane or CO2 released after, is considered, non anthropogenic; This makes no sense because it’s 100% man’s doing, and composting is a huge industry. It’s fair to say 50% of methane is anthropogenic, which makes ppm in the atmosphere 0.85 or 0.000085%. If we take away the 10% lost, it drops to 0.75 ppm or 0.000075%. So with all those numbers, if we reduce the PPM of atmospheric volume by 0.1 or 0.000005%, how does that make it safer and or better?. Methane is flammable, about 30 times more potent but only stays in the atmosphere for about 10 years. Knowing how much more potent it is and how little is actually lost, why is it a better GHG?. Does that 10% change everything, knowing just how little methane there is in total?. I would have thought given it’s lifespan, it wouldn’t make 1 bit of difference to how the climate behaves. I personally think it’s just being spoken of because it’s more potent, yet she is saying it’s a better gas if 10% is saved. But people don’t realise how little in total there actually is. And because CO2 only makes up 5% of the atmosphere, with 95% of it being non anthropogenic; to suggest it is a better form of energy, is just sneakily adding fuel to this whole climate climate debate. It’s also a dishonest way of convincing people to go vegan. The gas shouldn’t even be spoken about when it comes to climate change, it only produces about 7% of the world’s energy(that’s being generous) and is far less reliable, and way more expensive than coal; given the processes it must go through. Again, how is that better? I know you’re talking about the energy ratio decreasing; And you’re right, it will decrease, but it will be so small, and when you learn about the gas and numbers, it shouldn’t even be spoken about it. It’s all manipulation to bring another non existent problem into the debate because CO2 is not a problem and the IPCC know it. They say it’s worse than CO2 because of it’s potency, and flammability yet she is saying it’s better if that 10% isn’t lost. It’s just contradiction after contradictions, if you’ve actually read the report and I can tell she has only looked at the mainstream publicised areas and not the whole thing.

@@petercoxable You fundamentally misunderstood climate change. Flammability has absolutely nothing to do with greenhouse effect. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas but it's not flammable. Greenhouse gases in the atm trap IR radiation emanating from earth being heated by the sun. Its because IR radiation vibrates the molecules. This is how your body feels heat and how microwave oven works. If you want to prove the scientists wrong please learn the basics first.

Let us be clear about something, climate change IS a structural problem. The root cause of it lies not in the action of individuals like you and me, but of how things are structured, how power, money, influence, information, and so on moves through the world. For example, the invasion of Ukraine is NOT ONLY the result of mr putin’s actions but of the massive concentration of power and resources, military and otherwise, that the Russian state holds. And until we aren’t able to address those root structural causes we are going to live under the constant threat of war and climate catastrophe.

@Javi Oz Yeah, I agree. A relational worldview would be a much better alternative and more representative of the world than the atomistic/cartesian worldview prevalent today. But, why do you think that so many people have this fallacious way of thinking? IMO it is no mere coincidence that such "fallacies" serve the status quo, rather than humanity as a whole.

[@kirkha100]

You had to put this in an ideological frame? Disingenuous and disappointing. Conflating the Russian state and Putin’s actions with inherent structural features that make up our predicament. Manipulative and dishonest creation of “cognitive ease”. An all around better example of an inherent structural tendency to make climate disruption worse is the U.S. This is not about blame. It’s simple numbers. Population size, rate of consumption, carbon emissions etc. yeah, China. But we buy all their stuff and use it. Be honest. Put down the ideological framing.

[@RobertMJohnson]

let us be clear about something: we will be burning oil, gas, coal for the rest of the century and there is no force on earth that will stop that reality. let me know when i'm wrong; right now, i'm 100% right.

[@reuireuiop0]

You know, Ukraine holds the second largest gas reserves in Europe, after Norway ? It's not just Putin not wanting another "successful" democratic country right next door, even closer than the Baltic states. There is money to be made, also Donbass coal reserves and Ukraine agricultural production wheat, sunflower etc, are nothing to be sneezed at. And, Russia always needs the warm water harbours. Mariupol is the major Russians' grain & coal Black Sea port too.

[@elanvital-e9z]

@@reuireuiop0 Yeah, that's why I think the future of Russia lies in a true federation of states instead of a central administration that keeps amassing power and resources in the detriment of its population, its neighbors and the whole earth system. Of course, because of all the reasons that you rightly mention, among others!

The good news... I'm only two weeks away from caring about climate change; and always will be.
