We keep running into people who assert that if human civilization doesnβt keep expanding forever we will go extinct.
The truth is, if humans keep believing we can expand forever, we will go extinct.
There is no Planet B.

What were you doing last Sunday on the world's hottest day since global records began in 1940?
For me, it wasn't quite as hot as previous days because of the forest fire smoke that moved in on Saturday. #climatechange #heatwave

Find out what other city your city's climate will be like in 2080. Edmonton, Alberta will be like St. Francis, Kansas under current emissions trajectory. If emissions are reduced, it might be more like Maple Creek, Saskatchewan #climatechange https://fitzlab.shinyapps.io/cityapp/
Half of Kew Gardens tree species at risk of death owing to climate crisis
#Botanical gardens lost 400 trees during 2022 drought, prompting research into potential loss in coming decades
Founded in 1840, #Kew #Gardens says it houses the largest botanical collection in the world.
During the drought of 2022, the botanical gardens in south-west London lost 400 of its trees. Scientists at Kew decided they should map and chronicle the climate risk to the trees to see how many could feasibly be lost to the changing weather in the coming decades.

I didn't get to participate in the #Elokapina (Extinction Rebellion Finland) "Myrskyvaroitus" ("Storm warning") campaign too much this summer. The first part I was away on my cycling trip, the second part I had my kids with me. Attended a few actions, here some photos from the Mannerheimintie road block in central Helsinki. Was there with my three kids and one of my partners kids, so taking photos was difficult :P Good atmosphere, lots of brave people making use of their democratic right to protest and make their voice heard.
As usual, the police abused their powers and cleared the road, instead of protecting the right of the citizens to demonstrate. Somehow it's ok to block a road for a long period of time for a running event, some commercial happening or for example people protesting petrol prices - but if people are concerned for their childrens future, a minor inconvenience to drivers is too much.
Next rebellion coming up 2nd of September, hoping to put my butt on the street then β
Straight from the #TrumpVirus / #GQP playbook/'mindset'. Deflect/deny. Blame them. What crisis?

EU climate service: Earth records 12 straight months of record high temperaturesBy Clyde Hughes, UPI
July 8 (UPI) -- "June 2024 was hotter than any June previously on record, leaving people exposed to life-threatening temperatures and more extreme weather, the European Union's #Copernicus #ClimateChange Service said Monday.
"Copernicus researchers found that temperatures worldwide each month for the past 12 months were 1.5 degrees Celsius greater than the average before the #preindustrial age.
"The report said temperatures in Europe were higher on average than in the southeast regions. It added the countries and regions with the hottest temperatures outside of #Europe were eastern #Canada, the western #UnitedStates, western #Mexico, #Brazil, northern #Siberia, the #MiddleEast, northern #Africa, and western #Antarctica.
"'Even if this specific streak of extremes ends at some point, we are bound to see new records being broken as the climate continues to warm,' said Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, according to The Guardian.
"'This is inevitable unless we stop adding greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the oceans.'
"The report said its review of the oceans, air temperatures were higher than average in the #AtlanticOcean and #IndianOcean along with most of the #PacificOcean. Temperatures were below average in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean and smaller regions around the world, like the Bering Sea.
"Copernicus uses measurements from various sources, including airplanes, weather stations, ships and satellites to capture vital climate information worldwide.
"'This is not good news at all,' said Aditi Mukherji, the co-author of the newest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 'We know that extreme events increase with every increment of global warming and at 1.5 degrees Celsius, we witnessed some of the hottest extremes this year.'"

Can the climate survive the insatiable energy demands of the AI arms race? | Technology sector | The Guardian
Kind of surprised this took so long to break the news barrier. Will it stop investment in generating a shit ton of AI crap? No more than knowing fossil fuels are a disaster is stopping people from driving cars.
