We’re living through an extinction event of our own making

The question isn’t ’are they taking action’ it’s ’are they taking enough of the right action’.

The problem is we’re thinking in terms of “oh we didn’t cause any of this our ancestors or the billionaires did.” Instead of thinking as a species and taking collective responsibility.

This El Nino is devastating.  Where im from in the Caribbean, it's been hot less rain in the rainy season.  More needs to be  done in mitigating the effects of climate change on El Niño and also La Niña.

I'm writing today to share that during a grant project I serendipitously discovered a phenomenon that AI recently agreed could be used to cool the sea surfaces and reduce evaporation and the historical flooding that is likely to continue unless something like this discovery is scaled up and deployed on oceans around the world.                                                    
During the grant, I used aeration to maintain fish health as every major Aquarium in the world does. In winter months, simple aeration, which is similar to using snow making equipment to remove gases and oxygenate the water, would cause rapid freezing on the tanks. As AI agreed, this form of aeration exponentially increases the water's exposure to the frigid air.                                                                                                                                                                 An important fact in this discussion is that when cold air simply flows over warm sea water, there is an evaporative thermal barrier, often seen as fog, that prevents the cold from directly contacting the water. Even snow over that barrier will melt to a light mist before reaching the surface; this is from personal observation along the St.Lawrence River, air temp was -6*F, water was 48*F.

Aeration, spraying a high arc through frigid air, brings a large volume of chilled water, with possible ice crystals splashing down on the surface. This is similar to what Oil Companies did five decades ago to create ice north of Alaska and Canada to stabilize rigs for exploratory drilling; they even have patents on the process. (see patent numbers: 3,391,715; 3,750,412; 4,048,808; 4,523,879; and 4,699,545.

With funds that are a small fraction of the cost of recovery from 2026 floods, aeration could be deployed around the world and these disasters would be noticeably reduced within a year; that's if a significant number of sites are up and running this winter. Ideal sites include: Oil rigs in the temperate zones north and south of the tropics, behind ships traveling through air that's 30 degrees or more colder than the sea below, on lights that mark channels near ports, and on offshore windmills.

This is a very useful conversation but we are still
Being fed such inane nonsense via our media outlets we are not being given the resources to enable realistic solutions.
I studied sustainability and behaviour change at post grad after protesting with XR for over two years. We were fantastic and honestly we don’t need to make more effort than join a group with a willingness to join in once a week at most.
We need to organise across the board to say we want: massive population discussions we can trust. They must be public and we need sound information. We need to listen to each other and actively slow down to tend to the natural world. If there are no green spaces near you subsidies and volunteers should be made possible. We need to organise and participate.

Ai data centres are the biggest threat to a stable climate not a carbon based life.
Say no a silicone Humans of the future.

I'm a stats guy & August was 1.65C (2.97F) above pre-industrial. July was 1.47C, so that's a .18C increase globally in temperature in just 1 month! That's a huge increase in that short a period of time. Stay tuned to find out what the rise is for September which will be known about the 7th of October.

We are basically using the available resources to annihilate each other’s instead of trying to figure out solutions.
I am asking myself if we (humans) are really intelligent, smart, advanced or civilised as we claim to be?

What happened in Nepal is surely a wake-up call. It highlights that there are different events and emergencies for which we are not fully prepared.

13:52 Are there no civil engineers on the C4N contacts list? They might be able to talk about civil engineering better than two people who aren't civil engineers.

A hot dry spring here and a baking summer Its the wildlife I feel sorry for How can they survive with months of no rain and dried up streams as we had here We are killing this planet

Some of the towns on the Somerset levels that have proven to be prone to flooding may need to be relocated with more severe weather. Especially where the water comes up through the ground. This holds true elsewhere around the country. Are we in a position to rehouse tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of people rapidly? Currently we do not even have enough tents to do that.

The biggest impact people actually notice is in the pocket, as insurance costs increase even more, until some will find insurance out of reach financially.

The US and Israel need to stop their massively polluting colonial wars.

It’s uncharted El Niño so humanity will be learning how the atmosphere deals with it.😳

Didnt the US finish funding for the early warning systems for glaciers in Nepal?

We need to share how we deal with extreme heat, and so forth learn from each other.

THE PUBLIC HAVNT GOT A CLUE ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF WHAT GLOBAL WARMING REALLY MEANS TO ALL LIFE ON EARTH. WHAT ARE WORLD LEADERS DOING TO   PREPARE FOR IT , OH YES   THERE PISSING ABOUT HAVING WARS . IDIOTS

The insurance industry can tell you all about this.
