The environmental crisis

The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Revelation 8.7-12

Safe and just’ climate boundary has already been breached, says contested study

"Now, more than a decade after planetary boundaries were first proposed, the updated Earth-system boundaries framework explores how to keep the planet stable while minimising “significant harm” to humans and other species, using a “justice framework”.

The authors select five of the nine original planetary systems – climate, biosphere, water, nutrients and air pollution – and identify eight key, quantifiable indicators that can monitor these systems.

These indicators – including warming level, area of natural ecosystems and surface-water flow – were “carefully chosen” to be “implementable for stakeholders in cities, businesses, countries across the world”, Rockström told a press briefing.

For each indicator, the authors assess the conditions needed to avoid “significant harm” at both global and local scales, taking into account the following justice considerations:

- Interspecies justice: prioritising other species and ecosystems in addition to humanity.

- Intergenerational justice: considering how actions taken today will impact future generations.

- Intragenerational justice: accounting for factors including race, class and gender, which “underpin inequality, vulnerability and the capacity to respond” to changes in planetary systems. [...]"

Mackerel is no longer a sustainable fish. Should you stop eating it?

This seemingly abundant species was often touted as a responsible choice, but years of overfishing have led its sustainability rating to be downgraded

Daphne du Maurier’s The Birds predicted an environmental crisis 70 years ago. The short story inspired Hitchcock’s film, depicting a violent bird attack on a Cornish farm. The story links the bird behaviour to the impact of technological developments after World War II. The story warns of the consequences of disrupting nature and ignoring its signs.

Stop spending public funds on carbon capture failure – researchers

"Forests, grassland and other biomass remove carbon dioxide from the air now – and, properly looked after, could do much more. Mechanical methods of removing carbon dioxide, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and direct air capture (DAC), are ineffective and may never work at scale.

So public funds poured into mechanical carbon capture projects, often operated by oil companies, should be redirected to proven biological methods, and to monitoring technologies that can check how effective they are.

These are the conclusions of a new paper by a US-based research team of scientists, economists and policy analysts, headed by June Sekera of the New School for Social Research in New York."

IPCC report fails on equity and urgency

by Kevin Anderson
Professor of Energy and Climate Change, University of Manchester

"The question now is, will we high-consuming few make (voluntarily or by force) the fundamental changes needed for decarbonization in a timely and organized manner? Or will we fight to maintain our privileges and let the rapidly changing climate do it, chaotically and brutally, for us?"
