This alert highlights a current or anticipated shock that is expected to drive a significant change in the severity of acute food security globally such that a humanitarian food assistance response is needed imminently.
> Scientists have raised concerns about whether high-income countries, with their high per-capita CO2 emissions, can decarbonise fast enough to meet their obligations under the Paris Agreement if they continue to pursue aggregate economic growth. Over the past decade, some countries have reduced their CO2 emissions while increasing their gross domestic product (absolute decoupling). Politicians and media have hailed this as green growth. In this empirical study, we aimed to assess whether these achievements are consistent with the Paris Agreement, and whether Paris-compliant decoupling is within reach.
A few weeks ago, a study by Copenhagen University researchers Peter and Susanne Ditlevsen concluded that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is likely to pass a tipping point already this century, most probably around mid-century. Given the catastrophic consequences of an AMOC bre...
damn I didnt know that fishmahboi had a masto account
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a major tipping element in the climate system. Here, data-driven estimators for the time of tipping predict a potential AMOC collapse mid-century under the current emission scenario.
For various reasons I'm motivated to provide an update on my current thinking regarding the slowdown and tipping point of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). I attended a two-day AMOC session at the IUGG Conference the week before last, there's been interesting new papers, and in...
Ah, I misunderstood you then. Very concerning
Thats interesting, haven't heard about that problem yet. Didn't know that the Notrufzentralen are also staffed with volunteers. Do you think that mandatory fire brigade service (Pflichtfeuerwehr) might become more common in the next years?
dont forget the red bulls and chips. need those when natureposting!
Due to the fact that I will be moving places later this summer, I decided back in March that I would plant some bee flower seed mix on my tiny balcony instead of the usual vegetables. I got the for free from a good friend who works for a nature conservation society.
The results have been great! I constantly see bumblebees, hoverflies, honeybees and all kinds of wild bee species around my flowers. It feels great to provide a tiny feeding spot in a place that is surround by agricultural monocultures and I can only recommend it to everyone who has even the tiniest bit of space left in their garden or on their balcony.
Hello friends of /c/green
In recent weeks we have introduced a weekly observations thread in /c/collapse - with success I would say. We average 10-25 comments per week and see some nice discussion and a few regular posters in these threads.
Motivated by those positive results I would like so introduce a similar thread here but with a more general slant on environmentalism, gardening, nature observation and everything related!

Cerberus heatwave mostly spared us here with only Saturday being a freakishly hot day (28°C --> 38°C temp jump for a day) but it showed me once again how badly prepared most older buildings are for what is to come.

It continues: > Do we want our schools to impose on our children, from their earliest days in school, perversions that lead to degradation and extinction? Do we want to drum into their heads the ideas that certain other genders exist along with women and men and to offer them gender reassignment surgery? Is that what we want for our country and our children? This is all unacceptable to us.

I agree! We should try to change the narrative towards a more constructive angle, talking about what makes lemmy unique.
This sticker was made shortly after I joined lemmy and wanted to start some kind of guerilla ad campaign where lemmy users could print out stickers and posters and market lemmy in their city or area. But life happened and other things became a little bit more important for the time being so I just decided to release the best sticker design
