Right! Edible Forest Gardens, Vol. 2 is a great resource for people who would like to do this. Most people in the US can get their hands on a copy through inter-library loan.

I've been working on my own lawn for six years. It's a little slow going, but I can see that in the next 5-8 years I'm going to have quite a bit of food for my family and friends. And, of course, a lot less to mow!

>Researchers have confirmed what millions of Americans and Canadians who just endured scorching temperatures probably already suspected: Last month was the hottest June on record in North America.

>The Copernicus Climate Change Service, an agency supported by the European Union, said that average surface temperatures for June in North America were about one-quarter of a degree Fahrenheit higher than the average for June 2012, the previous record-holder.

>"These heat waves are not happening in a vacuum. They are happening in a global climate environment that is warming and which makes them more likely to occur," said C3S climate scientist Julien Nicolas.

>In Portland, the temperature shot up to 116 degrees Fahrenheit on June 28, smashing the previous all-time record high set on each of the previous two days and setting a new all-time high benchmark for the city. Prior to last month's heat wave, the highest temperature ever recorded in Portland was 107 in August 1981.

> He points out a few other issues such as the fact that GISSTEMP (and others) treat RWIS and ASOS stations as equal.

Thanks for your excellent post. Quick question because of my ignorance: I sometimes see hourly SYNOP and METAR reports for the same location that are different. Is there any reason why that could occur?

Have a look through the sub, there's some previous discussion along these lines.

IPCC AR5 summary for policy makers is always a good start. It can be a bit dry at times but it discusses the science and impacts clearly.

Book-wise, I've enjoyed Anthropocene: A very short introduction (https://www.amazon.com.au/Anthropocene-Professor-Geography-Environmental-University/dp/0198792980). Not sure who recommended it in this subreddit but thanks :)

Area of Antarctica is ~ 5.4 million sq. miles. Area of Earth is ~ 510 million sq. miles. So the plate has to be 100 times larger than the ice cube.

Here's a figure showing projected melting in the year 5000 under various assumptions ...

From your original link:

I see 0F high, -24F low on March 18,2022

Everyone else on this thread is reporting the same (0F) thing.

What do you see on this date?

Concordia station shows -63F on March 18. The upward blip occurred between the 24th and 27th. It was not a 70F rise. Why are you trying to say that was not? It's right there in front of your face.

I posted a link to the daily data. It's from over 500 miles inland. There is no relation between that data and the ice-shelf. I don't see where you have a problem with that. The nearest station to the ice-shelf is Casey and it shows only normal temps prior to the ice-shelf breaking off.

The article you are claiming is a lie refers to the Casey station, not the Concordia station.

Even so, at the station weather you linked, there was absolutely a 70+ degree rise from March 15-18.

Casey station, which is the one reference in the PBS article, shows a similar range.

Gloom and doom collapse porn has sadly created this attitude in a lot of young people.

The truth is that while the global west is allowing corporations to pillage and destroy, China is investing ~$75 trillion in carbon reduction initiatives. It's the biggest and most ambitious investment plan in human history, and they're set to become the world's largest economy in just a few short years. Their influence will be felt, and I suspect that other countries will follow suit.

There will be some chaotic years ahead and we're going to be dealing with many crises, but it's fully within the capability of human beings to overcome these obstacles. We're the most creative, flexible and adaptable species in existence.

The planet is going to be just fine. It has survived much worse. It's the ecological foundations of human society that we need to worry about.

Also, you're too young to be going on alcohol/weed induced rants, you have the rest of your life to do that. Go outside, read a book, play an instrument, or something.

Here's a database of all the (macro algae) seaweed companies doing awesome things... micro algae companies coming soon!

The Cabin Almanac, edited by Seth Godin.

This is a very nice-and-bolts kind of book that walks you through just about everything in short sections. It's designed to be the kind of thing you keep on your coffee table and pick up and read a page now and again. Everything in it is sourced and fact-checked.

The Carbon Almanac, edited by Seth Godin et al.

It's really fantastic. Little bite-sized chunks, very easily digestible, completely fact-checked. Walks you through everything you need to know.

I am buying multiple copies of this for friends.

https://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Almanac-Its-Not-Late/dp/0593542517/ref=sr\_1\_1?keywords=the+carbon+almanac&qid=1658984402&sprefix=the+carbon+%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1

Only around algae and more specifically, seaweed. This database tracks companies, investors, grants and researchers. Pretty much every seaweed company can be carbon negative.

Some snapshots of water usage are written up rather well in The Big Thirst and contains some useful perspectives on water usage.

In General you are correct from my reading. Agriculture is the big challenge of water usage, but the US is all about economics so environment is hard to sell without talking about money.

Another longer but fascinating historyof water in the Western US is the classic Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner.

Its not scapegoating, they had life on easy mode. No other generation had it better than their father and sons. And tbey have it better than their grandsons because of malicd. https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Bruce-Cannon-Gibney/dp/0316395781

Climate science is based on measurements. The numbers that result from these measurements have nothing to do with who made the measurement or who is conducting the research. Madalyn is free to research the actual numbers on her own as the information is public.

To counter her point, climate science has also been conducted by Big Oil. They tried to force their own bias upon the data, but instead decided to try and bury it because the data wasn't capable of lying. They then tried to get ahead of the inevitable public research that would come out by funding misinformation campaigns.

“Saving Us” by Katherine Hayhoe.

Easy to read, lays out the key climate information in an understandable way.

As far was what needs to be done, I like Drawdown (Amazon link) as it shows how multi-faceted the effort has to be. They also have a ton of youtube videos

(Fun?) facts:

• The most littered item is cigarettes - which take ages to break down because of the plastic in their filters, leach chemicals into our eco-systems that actually hurt plant growth, and poison our marine life with heavy metals.

• The meat/livestock industry has been pinned by scientists as the greatest contributor to the coastal dead zones that grow larger each year and are deadly to manatees, dolphins, turtles, and pretty much anything else that swims through or is smothered by the dead zone waters.

• Ghost fishing is what happens when the fishing industry losses or dumps their fishing gear in the ocean. There's so much of it that fishing industry waste makes up around half the plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch- "Literally hundreds of kilometers of nets and lines get lost every year and due to the nature of the materials used to produce these types of gear, they can and will keep fishing for multiple decades, possibly even for several centuries."

Humanity could do an awful lot of good for our planet if we switched to a plant-based diet and put serious effort into making sure smokers don't keep littering everywhere. All drains lead to the ocean, so even if you're a long away away, your waste can still make it out to see, and do serious environmental damage on it's way. All of our actions have an effect on this planet, it would be nice if we took that into account while going about our daily lives.

Stripe Climate has taken what I think is a very well thought-out and serious approach- they focus exclusively on permanent carbon removal. We'll need massive amounts of carbon removal even under the most optimistic scenarios, so I think early adopters can make a big impact right now to help jumpstart the growth of that industry. Here's an interesting article. In 2020 they invested in Charm Industrial, Project Vesta, ClimeWorks, and CarbonCure.

I was most excited about the potential for Charm Industrial's approach (burn agriculture waste to make bio-oil, which they inject into old oil wells where it hardens permanently), so I have a monthly account with them.

> The intensity of light leaving the surface is less than the intensity of light that makes it out to space, that's the greenhouse effect.

And here is your logical fallacy because you don't think about what's happening in reality. At the tropopause the propbability of some molecule scattering radiation back to the the surface is almost zero, just because there aren't eneugh molecules per m³ of atmosphere. Extrapolate 1m² to 10km - a simple Strahlensatz calculation.

Here is the interesting article/interview where this comes from. Some other good quotes from it were:

" Opinion polls in the US show 70% of people agree the climate is changing, but a majority still say it won’t affect them."

" Texas...now gets 20% of its energy from wind and solar power."

> gain, no evidence to support your claim that the current warming is due to natural forces.

I gave you 2 links to Google Scholar where natural cycles are discussed and studied. [Here is a link to an article discussing the current period](https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/845901/climate-change-natural-global-warming-evidence-jennifer-marohasy}. And here is a link where you can find the pdf. that's only one paper. Find more on the GS pages that i already linked to.

There is a lot of discussion about the LIA in the literature - that's a given since i linked to GS pages. AGW advocates tend not to discuss it. Your splitting hairs does not invalidate what I wrote earlier. All that it does show is that you're frustrated and that you're grasping at straws.

So let's review:

• i said that the current warming is occurring within a natural climate cycle of warming.

• You denied that natural cycles occur at all.

• I provided you with GS pages

• You denied that any published papers agree with me

• I have now given you one.

That should satisfy you.

You're the one "pulling crap" by moving the goalposts when I show you that you're wrong. All that this proves is that you're clueless about the topic of climate.

Once again let's review:

• Every historic and scientifically verified cool period has been followed by a warm period.

• The LIA ended

You seem to disagree with the bulk of the literature and scientific opinion about that.

Go nuts.

Is this the warmer weather up north you speak of?

I think we need both large companies and individuals to take action.

Individuals matter, Netflix had $16B in revenue from ~140M subscribers paying $10-20 a month. Imagine if $16B a year was going towards fighting climate change!

Other companies like Stripe are trying to take a strong stance as well and I hope many more join them: https://stripe.com/blog/negative-emissions-commitment

This needs to become a movement that transcends borders and all differences. This is one of the few truly global issues that humankind needs to work together to solve.

That's why he used impermeable, another commenter was making his dumb joke about it - the original is in german language in there is written undurchlässig. Check what the word means with a translation tool or https://www.dict.cc/ for example.

This is kind of the equivalent of saying ‘Look at all this snow how about global warming now eh?!’

I grew up in a much colder and snowier place than you, and through my whole life there were colder years and warmer years. Yesterday was literally the first day of winter.

The data wouldn’t suggest anything all that amiss:

just because the amazon fires are not in the news anymore I am afraid they didnt stop.

shure doesnt look like it:

https://www.windy.com/-CO-concentration-cosc?cosc,3.755,101.470,5

That monster wasn't there 1-2 months ago when we were looking for the fires in Siberia and the Amazon, that's for sure.

To add to this. If you already have journal access through your institution, I highly recommend EndNote Click (formerly Kopernio). EndNote is a browser plug-in that automatically retrieves full-text PDFs from any journal your institution has access to, without having to log in through the journal webpage (which is often complex), or search through your library database. It's the equally magical, yet entirely legal, alternative to that other, legally dubious website...

No but electric cars will get cheaper. New technologies are always taken up by the rich first. That drives down prices

https://www.crazyegg.com/blog/product-adoption-to-transform-marketing/

Electric cars are moving in the first three phases of this graph depending on which country you are in.

And the larger point is that EVs are cheaper to run than petrol. So if you don't have money getting an electric car is actually better for you. Unfortunately it is the entry costs for most people. But if you are someone who doesn't have money it's best to actually own an EV. Less maintenance, less fuel etc.

It is an unfortunate side effect of our way if life that it is easy for the rich to stay rich because they can afford the up front costs of making their lives more efficient therefore saving money in the long run

Every year, the organizations in this list plant millions of trees in countries around the world because young growing trees are the best absorbers of atmospheric CO^2 on the planet.

For every 45 searches run on the web search engine https://www.ecosia.org/, Ecosia funds the planting of a young tree (saplings) in partnership with reforestation organizations and local community/village leaders, so far planting 63 million trees in 16 countries, including Brazil, Indonesia, Spain, Morocco, and 12 other countries.

>I can already hear some men shrugging this kind of findings off and saying it’s all bs. Wouldn’t be surprised

Maybe that is because people like you have spent the last few years making absolutely everything about gender and race, so now nobody takes anything you say seriously any more. It's called "crying wolf."

Not gonna say u need to buy this book from Amazon but https://www.amazon.com/Cows-Save-Planet-Improbable-Restoring/dp/1603584323 This book might be up your alley it opened my eyes to new or OLD ways of restoring the landscape with the help of cattle But yes feed lots are needing to be a thing of the past we can build soil fertility and suck up more carbon if we put them on pasture grazing with adequate time to regrow

I’m currently reading this one and it’s really good. Can be read in short bursts but is still thoroughly sourced.
