The warming ocean is leaving coastal economies in hot water

"Scientists estimate that more than 90% of the excess heat produced by human activities has been taken up by the ocean. That warming, hidden for years in data of interest only to oceanographers, is now having profound consequences for coastal economies around the world."

Bucharest, Romania – Furniture manufacturers producing for IKEA are sourcing wood from some of Europe’s last remaining old-growth forests in the Romanian Carpathians, including in Natura 2000 protected areas, new report finds.
This article says is of the opinion that the vote will shift to the right and result in an increase of eurosceptic nationalists. I hope they are wrong because with climate change and politics the world needs to work together.

EU citizens, your vote for the European Parliament election matters much more than you might think.
From #ChatControl and #EUGoingDark all the way down to #ClimateCrisis: Some important decisions are due.
We noticed populist right-wing forces co-opting "open-source" by "supporting its adoption".
However, they stand for isolationism (hidden behind "tech sovereignty"), and against international collaboration, openness and transparency; which are what makes #FreeSoftware awesome.
Choose wisely!
I've been thinking that climate fiction that imagines a future where we actually fight the crisis, a future worth fighting for, is super subversive (and it is) but I'm coming around to thinking that encouraging folks (even ones who aren't "writers") to engage in that imaginative act--imagine the future you want and what it would take to get there--is 100% part of how we fight this.

Climate crisis = forced immigration.
Have you noticed that the politicians who say there are "waves" and "invasions" of immigrants are the same politicians who refuse to fight the climate crisis that is causing mass migration that can only get much much worse?

Thinking about how to reach people about #ClimateCrisis who have buying power and influence from wealth but are fundamentally clueless.
I once had a conversation with someone about being on a budget and she assured me she was also slumming it with lots of self restraint. "I haven't had a facial in 6 months"
This is the demographic that has the most ability to actually do something about #ClimateBreakdown if they gave any f**ks at all. Which they don't.
They think everyone goes out for facials and gets their nails done weekly..
Is there a way or are we all just screwed?

This tells you *everything* you need to know about how serious the fossil fuel industry is about the clean energy transition.
“The Godfathers of climate chaos – the fossil fuel industry – rake in record profits and feast off trillions in taxpayer-funded subsidies.”—Antonio Guterres
This is *absolutely* the right call:
“I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies.
“And I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising.” — Antonio Guterres

Actually, the last John Oliver about Corn is quite good - not just for farmers, gardeners and climate activists. He explains how subsidy policies in the US have favoured monoculture and are actively destroying life on this planet. He explains how nitrates used as fertilizers pollute fresh and ground water sources. All of this is neither new, nor exclusive to the US. Quite similar here in Germany. Agriculture policies have a massive impact on the #ClimateCrisis.

I don’t think any of us really understand how quickly collapse can happen:
> About 85% of the country expected to see highs of at least 40°C
> Almost 40% of the country’s dams below 20%
> 40% are between 20 and 50%.
> Mexico City (Population 22.51 million) forced to reduce water supply as reservoirs that feed city dry up.
> Stores running out of mineral water.

📣 Hey people who eat beef!
You can very greatly reduce your food's environmental impact by switching to pretty much any other food apart from beef. Beef causes by far the greatest amount of CO2 emissions per gram of food.
Other meats have only a fraction of the CO2 emissions of beef, and plant-based food is even less. See the attached chart for some emissions numbers of common foods.
More info at https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local which is also the source of the chart.
#Food #CarbonDioxide #ClimateChange #Meat #Beef #Environment #ClimateCrisis
You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local
“Eat local” is a common recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet. How does the impact of what you eat compare to where it's come from?Our World in Data
