2022-10-11 at 10:48 PM UTCClimate change and the threat to civilization
As a topic of urgent concern to humanity, the risk of climate collapse demands careful scientific investigation. And research on closely related topics—such as past cases of collapse, limits to adaptation, and systemic risk—makes it difficult to argue that climate collapse is impossible to study scientifically. Still, some may worry that pursuing scientific study of climate collapse will cause anxiety and encourage emotional disengagement from action on climate change.
We disagree. Warnings about climate collapse issued by scientists and scientifically informed public figures are already present in the public discourse, whereas survey data suggest that climate change is a source of widespread public concern and anxiety (26, 27). Against this backdrop, careful scientific study of climate collapse might act as a counterweight to discussions of climate collapse that are sensationalistic or biased towards portending doom. And, depending on the results of the research, it might serve as a rebuttal to skeptics who refuse to take the possibility of climate collapse seriously at all. A sober assessment of the risk of climate collapse and the pathways by which it can be kept at bay, we suggest, may help to settle nerves and spur action. -

2022-10-12 at 12:05 AM UTCPhantom Forests: Why Ambitious Tree Planting Projects Are Failing
High-profile initiatives to plant millions of trees are being touted by governments around the world as major contributions to fighting climate change. But scientists say many of these projects are ill-conceived and poorly managed and often fail to grow any forests at all.

The findings echo the fundamental laws of physics and thermodynamics, as well as the evidence from decades of research, and highlight the real-time effect that humans are having on the weather and climate.
The research offers confirmation of what atmospheric scientists have been warning of for years: a warmer world is, on balance, a wetter world. And as global temperatures continue to rise, an uptick in precipitation extremes is expected. -

The ongoing "megadrought" in the Southwest is the first human-driven regional drought on record, studies show, and is affecting water resources in the growing region, Axios' Andrew Freedman reports.

That reminds me of when covix first dropped it was like the start of a whore movie, STORES were running out of TP and bottle water. I was like damn this chit is about to get crazy, but then team Biden-Fauchi fixed it and we're on the upswing now so you can't say they're all bad -

2022-10-13 at 12:35 PM UTCGlobal wildlife populations have sunk 69% since 1970
This "serious drop … tells us that nature is unraveling and the natural world is emptying," said Andrew Terry, director of conservation and policy at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) report, which used 2018 data from ZSL on the status of 32,000 wildlife populations covering more than 5,000 species, found that population sizes had declined by 69% on average. Deforestation, human exploitation, pollution, and climate change were the biggest drivers of the loss.
