"The size of a #wildfire is related to the duration of fire weather, McGinnis said. “#ClimateChange is projected to increase the amount of time when high fire conditions prevail in the U.S.”
“People aren't even facing what's reality right this moment in terms of wildfire,” Steinberg said “There’s so much denial.” "
Streaming the 25th. Mark your calendars. Book mark and boost, if you might. All of academia needs to know what kind of deadly dross neoclassical economics is legitimatizing.
“UN weather agency issues ‘red alert’ on climate change after record heat, ice-melt increases in 2023”
“The U.N. weather agency is sounding a “red alert” about global warming, citing record-smashing increases last year in greenhouse gases, land and water temperatures and melting of glaciers and sea ice, and is warning that the world’s efforts to reverse the trend have been inadequate.” #ClimateChange https://apnews.com/article/wmo-un-climate-global-change-report-warming-2154285aabb0cf83dc9ca4015ea0016d
"The report advocated for collaborative action and inclusive policies to address the urgent challenges posed by climate change on major river basins in South Asia.

"Our analysis indicates #children are very concerned about how #ClimateChange affects the things and places they care about.

"They’ve worked with local farmers and landowners to plant thousands of native trees and shrubs along damaged shore habitats — a deceptively simple tactic that improves biodiversity (by restoring land and water habitats) and mitigates the effects of climate change (by absorbing more water during flood events). And they’re doing important work to measure and monitor carbon stored by what they plant."
The New Climate War The Fight to Take Back Our Planet by Michael E. Mann
A renowned climate scientist shows how fossil fuel companies have waged a thirty-year campaign to deflect blame and responsibility for climate change onto the individual, and offers a battle plan for how we can save the planet.
Climate Scorpion – the sting is in the tail
"[The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries' third report] calls for a realistic #risk assessment of #ClimateChange as a matter of urgency, taking into account the full range of outcomes, including tipping points, realistic worst-case scenarios, and the risk of ruin.
It introduces the concept of Planetary Solvency to support long-term policy decisions."
The admen think that climate change is a good language to use for communications: Since admen meticulously research everything they do, this tells you that most people know about #ClimateChange and see the problem.
Of course it goes accompanied with some greenwashing, like tree planting, and ocean plastics cleanup (sweeping under the rug that car tires is the single largest source of ocean microplastics).
"A Belgian farmer is taking French oil and gas company #TotalEnergies to court, seeking compensation for #ClimateChange-fuelled damage to his farm and a legal order for the company to halt investments in new fossil fuel projects.
It follows a case in which thousands of citizens successfully sued the Belgian government to demand stronger greenhouse gas emissions cuts."
Thousands of records are being brutalized allover the Americas from #Mexico to #Argentina in nearly every single country, we are witnessing something never seen or even though possible before.
