Can we live on our planet without destroying it? Researcher investigates planetary boundaries
https://phys.org/news/2024-11-planet-destroying-planetary-boundaries.html
With eight billion people, we use a lot of the Earth's resources in ways that are likely unsustainable. Klaus Hubacek, Professor of Science, Technology and Society at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, takes stock of the situation.

Have you heard the Confucius quote saying "The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones."
We need to take Climate Action ourselves, there's no point in waiting for those in power to act, we must do it ourselves. IMO there's no better place to start than here, 52ClimateActions.com more than 52 actions you and I can take, our kids and grandkids, the groups we are members of or are yet to form.
Many small actions will make a difference and if we shout about them we'll move mountains!

Curiously the ARkStorm Scenario predicted as much... https://www.usgs.gov/programs/science-application-for-risk-reduction/science/arkstorm-scenario
I hope more people will wake up to where we are in this climate catastrophy!
A court in Norway, a major oil & gas producer, just invalidated multiple drilling permits on the grounds that climate impacts weren't fully considered. The same assessment process is at the heart of multiple cases in front of UK courts.

I'd like to say that the draft out of COP28 is unbelievable but given these talks are being run by big oil what should we expect! We must push back and Mary Robinson is saying it like it should be...
Mary Robinson reacts to the release of the draft text at #COP28 :
“It is not good enough to say you recognise and respect the science but then fail to take heed of its dire warnings in the collective action you commit to.
It is not good enough to note with ‘alarm and serious concern’ the findings of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and the damage being caused by climate change but then fail to put in place the steps the science recommends.
It is not good enough to say you reaffirm the Paris Agreement but to then fail to commit to a full fossil fuel phase out.
It is not good enough to use weak language or to permit loopholes for the fossil fuel industry to continue to contribute to the very problem countries are meant to be committed to tackling here in Dubai.
Adequate time and opportunity still lie ahead, provided that nations promptly return to the negotiating table, equipped with the resolve required for a crisis of this magnitude and a readiness to undertake the necessary measures. This current version of the COP28 text is grossly insufficient.”

Picturing Our Future - Climate Central
https://picturing.climatecentral.org/
Climate and energy choices this decade will influence how high sea levels rise for hundreds of years. Which future will we choose?
Keeping below 1.5°C? Not a chance, our governments have got us there already!
Governments won't do it, we still can. Many of us taking small actions lead to bigger ones. Check out #52ClimateActions to do your bit.
One of the other outputs of the Permaculture Associations involvement with the European Communities for Future projects (see https://regenerate.social/@StevePLMarquis/110633910104910299 for my other post) is the 52 Climate Actions project.
It helps people find the ideas they need to reduce their carbon impact as individuals or groups/companies. There is also a children’s 52 Climate Actions nestled within.

Delighted to say that the European development project I have been a participant in with the Permaculture Association has fruits to share with you all. It’s a new phase in our moving to a more regenerative future & we hope that you can benefit from the development of building a network of Community Climate Coaches (CCC). All the resources are free. chack out the learning journey of a CCC in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ2KRUBBfkY & website https://communitiesforfuture.org/community-climate-coaches/ #ClimateAction
