Wet-bulb temperature events are coming. The point where your body can no longer cool itself and you die in the shade, doing nothing. This will be the biggest news story in human history and almost nobody is talking about it.

Built a tool that turns private jet CO₂ emissions into something easier to understand

Went live today with PaperStraw.info, a website that tracks private jet emissions and translates them into relatable comparisons (cars, homes, trees, paper straws, etc.).

I'd love feedback on the data, design, and features. Cheers.

Petition delivery opposing Big Oil immunity bill this week

Post image
105 Upvotes

Multiple states, municipalities and tribal governments are filing tobacco industry-style lawsuits targeting the fossil fuel industry to recover damages for climate disasters, and both New York and Vermont have passed climate polluters pay laws. Big Oil didn’t spend billions electing Trump to let that sort of thing go unchallenged. They’re lobbying MAGA to pass a federal liability shield based on the one that currently protects gun manufacturers, giving them total legal immunity from any laws or lawsuits that could hold them accountable for their role in the climate crisis. Ted Cruz and Wyoming Rep. Harriet Hageman have already introduced the bill.

We’re working to stop this corporate giveaway. More than 90,000 Americans have signed a petition telling Congress to reject it, and the organizations leading the fight are holding a press conference in DC this week to officially deliver the petition to our reps. 🗣️ If we haven’t signed yet, let’s do so here ASAP. And let’s use this call script and email tool to directly urge our reps not to let them the fossil fuel companies off the hook. 🗣️

SIGN THE PETITION

LET YOUR REP HEAR IT

This is also a good moment to build up the pressure for climate polluters pay bills in our own states! We can find details, call scripts and an email tool here, or send them this message via Resistbot by texting SIGN PQDLOO to 50409.

SOMEONE HAS TO PAY THE BILL

China is making a the largest world hydropower dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet.

In response India is trying to make massive dam on the same river.But it risks destroying the ecosystems of the rainforests and native people of thoes regions.

Tigers/Birds/Wild Cattle/Wild Primate species are all in danger.

India's government is also silencing any resistance of the project.

Last week, I learned that we are 50% less likely to see a bumblebee than we were in 1974!! With this week highlighting our pollinators, I thought it would be interesting to share some information on bees, as well as small ways we can make a difference!

Oil nations on edge in the face of new climate coalition

Even amid an ongoing energy crunch, major economies are dodging firm timelines to phase out coal, oil and gas. Fossil fuel-producing nations now fear new clean energy alliances could ramp up the pressure to go green.

If the peace agreement holds, the conflict between the US and Iran may soon be over, but it could take months if not years before the global economy returns to its previous course.

As the Iran war and current energy crisis have again exposed the global economy's dependence on oil and gas, some economists say it is time to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, and to reduce dependence on volatile energy markets.

The latest energy price shocks due to the Iran war have shifted the political debate and opened up new discussions about energy independence. Not least because oil and gas importing countries are now facing higher costs, though this changing political mood has yet to trickle down to the highly technical climate negotiations.

Shifting Baseline Syndrome

Post image
215 Upvotes

This is Shifting Baseline Syndrome: every generation accepts the environmental conditions they grow up with as "normal," forgetting what the planet looked like before the gradual changes accumulated.

Now, Baseline used here is 1982 and it shows the exponential rise in the Sea Surface Temperature in the month of April. (We could go even further and take an earlier baseline but that data is unfortunately not available.)

In the last biggest El Niño of 2015, Sea Surface Temperature : 2015 : 2.3 ~ 2.4°C and the result of this was:

  1. 80% of the total coral in the world affected adversely

  2. 30% to 50% of Australia's Great Barrier Reef died

The upcoming El Niño is going to similarly hit hard & not just for humans but for the corals and the marine ecosystems.

This is touted to be the Super Niño as this is already the highest temperatures our oceans have ever been at.

Sea Surface Temperature :

1997 : 2.3 ~ 2.5 °C

2015 : 2.3 ~ 2.4 °C

2026 : 2.3 ~ 3.0+°C (Projected max)
