In some places our greatest fears are being realised. Events are moving faster than we can adapt.

“The climate has already changed, and neither the built environment nor the response systems are keeping up with the change.”— Craig Fugate

To all “we can #adapt to #globalwarming” people:

#adaptation means probably having to give up whatever it is keeping you from favouring mitigation anyways. So it’s better to just accept reality and stop being a #ClimateAction delayer.

FI: Ensimmäinen Pariisin ilmastosopimuksen seurantaraportti on ulkona. Eikä ole positiivinen nykytilanteen suhteen. Olemme jumittamassa samassa kohtaa, ja tavoitteiden saavuttaminen vaatii isoa korjausliikettä päästöjen vähentämisessä mahdollisimman nopeasti.

ENG:
First report about the implementation of Paris climate agreement is out now. It is our collective record on climate action. And not a really nice one.

I still think a #WheelofTime #animated series faithfully adapted by #GenndyTartakovsky would be absolutely BOMB. Seriously, imagine it in the style of #Primal, #SamuraiJack, or #CloneWars (the first animated series).

Guess the #DynamiteComics #comicbook #adaptation will have to keep me satisfied for now. Hopefully, they continue past #TheGreatHunt.

Our analysis suggests planned adaptation - stewardship that facilitates changes in forest structure and composition to improve alignment with projected climates - is needed alongside the expanded use of beneficial fire, even in some forests where fire was historically infrequent.

La série PREACHER de Seth Rogen et Evan Goldberg a ses adeptes et ses détracteurs(à raison ET à tord).
Très (trop ?) librement adaptée du comic-book de Garth Ennis et Steve Dillon édité initialement par Vertigo, les 4 saisons de PREACHER seront disponibles sur @Netflix
On n'est pas obligé de choisir un camp. À mater sans modération selon moi. Lire les 6 tomes de l'intégrale est aussi chaudement recommandé.

"Transformational #adaptation is particularly important to build resilience and prepare for the potential severe impacts of crossing #tippingpoints.

Given the potential for catastrophic impacts associated with climate system tipping points, missing the #opportunity to implement such strategies could lead to #immeasurable economic and ethical costs in the near-future."

#Now

This essay absolutely knocked my socks off.

"All of the patterns of life available to us within living memory were themselves half completed adaptations to the social upheaval of their time. We are too many generations past anything that resembles technological or cultural stability to have any clear referrents."

A quotation from Euripides:

«
Let not these things thy least concern engage;
For though thou fret, they will not mind thy rage.
Him only good and happy we may call
Who rightly useth what doth him befall.

Editorial [1] in Nature Sustainability on #wildfires

"With summer #temperatures soaring across the globe, creating ideal conditions for wildfires to break out, large, frequent and potentially harmful fires are likely to be an increasing presence in our lives. [...]

These fires have serious #health and #EconomicImpacts for the surrounding #communities and for seasonal visitors." [1]

Mon beau-frère qui a pris la mesure des devants que nous avons pris nous-mêmes en terme de #climat et d' #adaptation , tente activement de s'investir dans la maison de sa mère (où ça commence à être critique), qu'il compte reprendre #Isolation , récupération d'eau de pluie, #vegetalisation , etc
Il fait la demande pour peindre le toit en blanc (lotissement, maisons mitoyennes) :
Refusé ! 🤪

M'en vais lui conseiller la dissidence !! 😇

Yes! This reminds me of what good #data #governance looks like - it _involves_ those affected, and is all about making choices about _who makes the choices_ <3
