Do you believe that wanting to burn wood is sensible?

The evidence says it's not!

Stop burning trees to make energy, say 650 scientists before Cop15 biodiversity summit https://www.carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/stop-burning-trees-to-make-energy-say-650-scientists-before-cop15-biodiversity-summit/

Some #thermal camera product codes to search for. #DIY #Repair

* TR160i (160x120), TR256i (256x192) - 25hz USB Dongle style thermal cameras.
* TR120E (120x80), TR160E, TR256E - 25Hz standalone thermal-only cameras.
* TR256B - 25Hz standalone thermal-fusion camera.
* HT-A1 (220x160), HT-A2 (340x240), ET692D (320x240) - 9Hz standalone thermal-only cameras.
* or anything by UNI-T

I can't vouch for any of these, nor would I buy anything under 200 pixels, but the point is you have choice today.

#TIL the reason #thermal cameras were either terrible or terribly expensive was because the US restricts exporting them. 😠

Grand Prismatic Spring is one of most brilliant and popular of Yellowstone's many hot springs. It is enormous in size, the largest in the USA and the third largest spring in the world measuring 370 feet in diameter.

A short explanation of how we emitted greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and how we can choose to reverse that trend.

A relatively long time ago (human time frame), photosynthesis sequestered Carbon out of the planet's atmosphere, and eventually, long explanation short, that carbon became Coal, Oil & Gas - that process took hundreds of millions of years.

Not that relatively long ago, humans deforested the majority of woodlands (in many countries) & burnt most of that wood as wood fuel, therefore adding Carbon Dioxide to the atmosphere So, to this day, in many countries, for example, the United Kingdom, what remains are relatively small amounts of fragmented woodlands (& tree plantations that are used for woodfuel & timber)

Only about a few hundred years ago, humans got very busy extracting Coal out of the ground, and burning it (the industrial age), therefore adding more Carbon Dioxide to the atmosphere. As human knowledge of science & technology developed, humans also learned to extract Oil & Gas, from relatively, not that deep beneath the Planet's crust - they burnt that Carbon, therefore, added more Carbon Dioxide to the atmosphere.

During this time, humans were also expanding agriculture. This caused more natural habitats, for example, peat lands that store carbon, to be drained so as to graze animals for their body parts (e.g., wool, meat & leather). Sheep and cows belch methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

Only about 50 years ago, some scientists that were working for an oil company, learned that Carbon dioxide, a byproduct of the fuel industry's core product, was causing climate heating. The oil industries & their associates (e.g., the car industry) decided to suppress that scientific understanding. #GreenWash (or "snake oil"). Also, the industries suppressed the science regarding how traffic pollution harms human health. Or at least, that information doesn't promote their products so.....

That just about brings this historic explanation up to the present.

The people that study ecology & its sub-subjects such as climate science (the scientific understanding) know that climate heating, & human-caused species extinctions, are an existential threat to Planet Earths' life support systems - therefore also to humans & their societies.

Now, reverse this history (as a thought experiment), for example, reforestation ("unburn" the trees) & stick the Carbon back under the ocean's crust & land masses, & we will have solved human-caused climate change. That generally would cause the climate's atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ratio levels to be similar to pre-industrial & pre-deforestation (wood burning) levels (the carbon cycle without human intervention)

#Ecology is the study of the Earth's #biosphere over short time frames (e.g., a few years to twenty years) and long time frames (thousands, millions, or billions of years).

To (seriously) begin to mitigate climate change, at the very least, humanity in general, will have to aim to stop burning Carbon-based fuels (wood, coal, oil & gas - all of it!). Not "only" just stop oil! Stop burning carbon-based fuels as that's the fundamental problem. And, generally, stop farming ruminants such as sheep and cows (that emit methane).

Denial is often the first response when a challenge seems overwhelming or impossible.

Generally, to even begin to reduce legacy atmospheric CO2 levels, more carbon has to be sequestered out of the atmosphere, than human carbon burning activities are emitting.

That challenge is immense as we are still carbon emitters. Also, there are so many people that are not even thinking about reducing their CO2 emissions plus industries that are not even considering trying to stop selling carbon-based fuels.

The illusion is that mitigating climate change appears to be mission impossible. But, as the 'This is how we live sustainably!' post explains - https://climatejustice.social/@empiricism/110418273424332975

- by understanding the practical guidance and evidence, and of course, doing it rather than just talking about it, we can begin to resolve the climate change problem (reverse the historic ecologically degrading trend).

That means that the "reason" why humanity has not mitigated climate change is all due to unreasonable psychology (illogical. A generally maladapted nurtured psychology. e.g., capitalist consumerism, warfare, etc). In other words, the reasons are not due to the impractical aspects of mitigating climate change, the problem is due to human behavioral psychology.

So, share & adapt the 'This is how we live sustainably!' concept - https://climatejustice.social/@empiricism/110418273424332975

And make it clear that there is a difference between not being able to mitigate climate change (which we can) and not wanting to mitigate climate change (which they don't)

Now, reverse this history, for example, reforestation & stick the Carbon back under the oceans crust & land masses, & we will have solved human caused climate change 😁 🤔😬🫣

Well, at the very least, please aim to stop burning Carbon based fuels (wood, coal, oil & gas), or l can rightfully call most people friggin morons 😬 Or at least, not acting in the interests of the general human community (obviously, that's true for the fuel industries & their associates)

And l don't want to do that. I want to honestly say, humans? 🤔, well, overall, they're good folk. But?

FYI, as the science clearly explains, the Planet's Oceans have absorbed a massive amount of the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) humanity has emitted. When the oceans start to become a CO2 emitter, rather than a sink, the climate will change more rapidly than any time in human history. Well, besides the most intense periods of an ice age, but, in the opposite, heating direction. Ice ages are part of the Biospheres natural ebb & flow. Anthropogenic climate heating is, as the term infers, more of a technologically caused problem.

But hey, the rich want to sell us their techno fixes, & look what they have managed to do to ecology thus far.
