821 #ClimateEmergency #Europe2050

Because this video is already 4 yrs old based on data even older, some data in this video may not be accurate.
Me personally i'm not as optimistic about the #ClimateAdaptation as the makers are. But I guess that's because it's their business.
New discoveries about a possible disruption of the AMOK would also mean these predictions may be on the optimistic side.
But if you take all the above in account it is still a video that predicts a problematic outcome [to say the least].

And let me make an important point:
#ClimateMitigation [reducing CO2 emission c.s.] is by far the best, most durable and affordable option. So #StopBurningThings.
Your best protection is prevention.

Quote by CNRS:
"Nov 3, 2021 #CNRS
The speed and magnitude of the climate change we are facing today is unprecedented. Heatwaves, droughts, floods... We are feeling its effects on our daily lives, year after year. Its impacts will increase at least until 2050 and every region of Europe will be affected.
Based on the results of the latest [2019-2020 !!} available studies, and in particular, on the 6th IPCC report, this film, produced by scientists in the framework of the European project EUCP, aims to present to the general public the climate changes expected in Europe in 2050. The researchers explain in an accessible way the variations in temperature and precipitation as well as the extreme climate events that European inhabitants will have to face.
This film provides the keys to understand how climate will reshape our landscapes and lifestyles over the coming decades. ... and to enable us to better anticipate the need for human societies to adapt to this partly inevitable climate change."

The best thing Gates could invest in is saving/restoring US democracy.

The sitting administration, like the other world autocracies, is a petrostate with no interest in addressing Climate Change. In fact, it wants to undo progress to date and deny/hide Climate Science.

We The People will hopefully vote otherwise, but the machinery of voting by the time that happens will be compromised, and that's unlikely to fix the problem. At this point, the only votes that count are those of billionaires.

If the greedy billionaires line up behind profit at the expense of all else, and the less greedy billionaires fritter away their funds on issues that are individually important but that collectively sap any hope of a long-term future for humanity, we're just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Even if we cured cancer and solved myriad other societal ills, if the Climate Crisis isn't solved, society will melt down anyway and humans may well go extinct, so what was the point?

Also, unless he puts unexpected safeguards on things, I'll bet quite a bit of this goes to using or investing in AI, which at this point means a hugely more energy-intensive and fresh-water-consuming world at a time when we can least afford it. In effect, it's an investment in hastening the Climate problem.

I'm sure he'll put some of it into specific Climate efforts, but the thing is this: While it's useful to do some amount of research on climate, we know what we really have to do and are not doing it. A sustainable future means ramping down energy use and consumption-based economics.

The problem with research isn't that it might not produce some wonderful discovery, but that we don't know that it will, and we don't know the timeline. As such, we need to start in earnest doing things we DO know how to do and that we DO know the timeline for. He is not promising to do that.

I see no serious leadership on Climate here, just a giant hunk of monetary inertia on a path that is sinking humanity. I'd love it if someone could convince me otherwise, but I'm not optimistic. I certainly don't think it's the sort of thing where just "trusting the process" is enough.

For 'some reason' Simon Clark feels the urge to wear a ridiculous wig during this presentation. But thanks to his reputation of being a profound researcher and presenter, I gave him some leeway.
But the gas-lighting, absolute nonsense and plain lying by #Trump is dangerous and suicidal. No laughing matter at all.

"Apr 25, 2025
The Trump White House put out a press release to celebrate Earth day, touting what the administration was doing for the environment. Let's dive in to what they're saying, and how aligned it is with reality.
This Earth Day, President Trump posted a laundry list of what his administration was doing on environmental issues. What is President Trump doing on climate change? What is the USA doing about the environment?"

819 #ClimateEmergency #Garbage #Landfill

Where rich countries can bask in a reputation of being neat, clean and well organised, actually it's only that they have the money to hide it better. In landfills or burn it and transform garbage into pollution [and energy]. But when things get rough and the landfill is closed the absolute insanity of flith production will be exposed.
As is the case in a lesser rich country like Bolivia where a landfill had to be closed.
#Consumerism will be the death of us.

"May 6, 2025
The Bolivian city of Cochabamba faced mounting piles of uncollected garbage as it entered a second week of turmoil over waste disposal. The closure of the Kara Kara municipal landfill has left the city without a viable site for dumping trash. In response, authorities established an emergency disposal site in the neighbouring municipality of Colcapirhua, but local residents obstructed access, deepening the crisis."

“There are currently no #CostEffective #management techniques available that would be acceptable to the #community, or clear objectives for the management of #koalas in blue gum #plantations,” — Victorian government Koala strategy, May 2023

Successive State and Federal governments use this excuse to ignore housing the population. Why aren’t you surprised they’d do this to native wildlife. 🐨

We almost know nothing about the deep sea, which is unfortunate not only from the science view, but malevolent profiteers with unsatiable greed are set up to destroy it for profits. It's high time to take care...
