For a just transition in adaptation: The role of social protection in the Global Goal on Adaptation.

This event will dive into the role of social protection in reducing vulnerability, increasing resilience and adaptive capacity. It will present the latest global data on social protection coverage, including in the countries most vulnerable to climate change. This will set the scene for a discussion among parties, experts, and observers around the usefulness and gaps of existing indicators on social protection for measuring progress towards the Global Goal on Adaptation.

Risk takers and rule breakers to the front. As Peter Kalmus has said, he and Rose Abramoff disrupted the AGU meeting that day because they “believe that climate scientists have a key role to play in breaking society out of the ’normalcy bias’ or bystander effect that still has most people thinking ’this is fine.’” I couldn’t agree with this objective more. And I see, in the price they have paid and the attention it has received, some small but perceptible movement toward it.

The bolder tactics of activism carry real risks—including for scientists the risk of eroded credibility as a widely-trusted messenger. Yet, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward. If the reward is actually breaking society out of our collective trance and into a state of real, transformative action, what professional—and even personal—risk wouldn’t be worth it? Climate scientists, what would you risk for that reward?"

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

something that i've been struggling to articulate but has been bothering me for a while is how some christians engage and interact with science and what i'm realizing is they have a like... almost love-bombing/discarding relationship with it. and i recognize science isn't a person and that's not literally happening but the christians that i grew up around have this relationship with science where it's real/valid/correct if it supports their side and fake/invalid/wrong if it doesn't. it's this like... engaging with science to get something from it when it can prove their point and condemning it when it doesn't. and this also ties into the belief that you, a layperson with no background in science, are more knowledgeable than actual scientists simply because you have god on your side, and therefore you can use science in whatever way you see fit, which means engaging with it in a way that is ultimately anti-science (but that also doesn't matter because god said it was okay). and it's exhausting engaging with these people for me because it's not that they believe all science bad, it's that they believe most science bad but some science good and they have the authority to determine what is bad and what is good, despite, again, not having a background in science (because what is a "background in science" to an all-knowing god that you have a personal relationship with?). the thing that is so frustrating to me is how these people recognize science is valued and use it to strengthen the validity of their points and to gain credibility while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge the validity of science as a field at all or put in any effort to understand/respect it.

The European Union should reconsider ways to reduce the impact of the CBAM on Ukraine, one of which could be a temporary exemption from this mechanism.

nothing fuels creative endeavors like seeing a take that is very juicy very delicious if not for lack of awareness it is an overwhelmingly common dramatic misconception fueled by hearsay and assumptions about things underdescribed and/or ambiguous so far

interesting trend I've noticed is that celebrity voice actors are steadily becoming less big deals? Unless it's an actor or actress people actively dislike (Chris Pratt, Awkwafina), the characters or media itself vastly overshadows the voice actors. That's good, I think. The pay discrepancy for celebrity VAs is still present, but maybe it'll go away as studios also note people are watching animated movies and shows for the story, not the famous person voicing them.

looking at solarpunk art and concepts for reference and like as awesome as it is i feel like so many of these people don't super understand the reality of what would make this kind of solarpunk/ecofuturist future a reality

Ask an Ecology Expert: How Is the Climate Crisis Changing Our Seasons?

Early springs and long, hot summers are disrupting migration and mating patterns

Over the past few decades, climate change has been driving what scientists refer to as “season creep” in some parts of the world: winters are getting shorter, spring is coming earlier, and summers are longer and hotter. Besides disrupting human life, these changes to the seasons are having a profound effect on animals. We asked Madhur Anand, a professor of ecology at the University of Guelph’s school of environmental sciences, what rising temperatures mean for our ecosystems.

To everyone who is suffering from the smoke from the fires in Canada, I am truly sorry and please stay safe. But I haven’t seen anyone talking about this and I want to point out that this is what happens in California every year. Entire neighborhoods have to be evacuated not because of fire danger but because breathing the air will kill you. We live under a dark, eerily orange sky for weeks. This did not happen when I was a child. This is our new reality due to climate change and it seems it is now beginning to happen in other places as well (I do acknowledge it already was happening in some other places, but I mean places it wasn’t before). And maybe it won’t happen again next year but it will happen again eventually and it will keep happening because the earth is not as it once was. Please stay safe and remember capitalist greed did this.
