Ken S<p>p.s Added comment on ‘Global Weirding’</p><p>Despite the consistency of ‘Global Weirding’ with expectations previously held of ‘Global warming’ it still serves as a critical and important observation that needed to be established.</p><p>It serves as a direct rebuke of the ‘Global warming is good’ brigade.<br>The ‘Pros’ that the brigade heavily relies on the idea that ‘Global warming is consistent and predictable’.<br>This is particularly the case with climate sensitive industry sectors like Hospitality and Tourism, Agriculture and Aquaculture, etc.</p><p>For example, <br>- Global warming is good: <br>Warmer climate means being able to develop agriculture in colder regions.</p><p>- Global weirding:<br>Horticulture of Grapes in regions that have become ‘warmer’ in North America is unreliable if the region is also prone to early and prolonged fire seasons and sudden cold blasts.<br> <br>It’s like playing ‘Russian Roulette’ with hundreds of millions on the table.</p><p>Climate sensitive industries and (industrial) cultural practices rely on hundreds of years of predictable climate patterns. Instead we are now facing climate patterns which are subject to change ever 10-or-so-years.</p><p>That’s bloody ‘weird’, to epically understate the situation.<br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Climatechange</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GlobalWarning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarning</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GlobalWeirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWeirding</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusBiz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AusBiz</span></a></p>

Since nothing will change - politicians around the world want more growth, not less, and more growth means more <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climatechange</span></a> - 2° degrees can be expected in the next 5 years. David Wallace-Wells says in his book that the tipping point for the collapse of the planet's ice sheets is said to be around two degrees. He writes "that would eventually flood not just Miami and Dhaka but Shanghai and Hong Kong and a hundred other cities around the world". <br><a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/586541/the-uninhabitable-earth-by-david-wallace-wells/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">penguinrandomhouse.com/books/5</span><span class="invisible">86541/the-uninhabitable-earth-by-david-wallace-wells/</span></a></p>

Flipboard Science Desk<p>If you’re a member of the top 1% of earners in the U.S., there’s a fair chance your carbon footprint is bigger than you thought. A lot bigger. On average, 1,388 times bigger compared to someone in the bottom 50%. But don’t worry if this is news to you. A new study says the vast majority of people don’t know the true size of this inequality. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@sciencefocus" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>sciencefocus</span></a></span> explains: <a href="https://flip.it/X0rgQz" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/X0rgQz</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/GlobalWarning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarning</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CarbonFootprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CarbonFootprint</span></a></p>
Flipboard Science Desk<p>To reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change, some governments and companies have been investing in the electrification of both public transport and private vehicles. China has taken note with the introduction of electric buses. Despite its predicted advantages for reducing carbon emissions, transitioning from fuel-based to electric public transport could put a significant strain on electricity grids.
