I found a good way to loosen some of that confusion of self is to seek out your spirit animal. Decisions and direction seem to make more sense and you can find some patterns. At the very least you will find plenty to think about. Might help you find your path.

A year ago I went to the Hoh Rainforest and a number of young Elk came through grazing. They blocked the path for a good while. When I made it back to the trailhead there was a ranger telling people that although there are elk in the forest, you are incredibly unlikely to come across them. I quietly chuckled to myself as I headed to my car haha.

Deforestation of tropical rainforest sits at the confluence of climate change and biodiversity loss. We are losing tropical forests at a staggering rate, but there is a proven way to effectively stop this. It's cheap, simple, and can be scaled up to cover much of the tropics."

Exploring the risks of ‘cascading’ tipping points in a warming world

Tipping elements within the Earth system are increasingly well understood.

Scientists have identified more than 25 parts of the Earth’s #climate system that are likely to have #TippingPoints – thresholds where a small additional change in global warming will cause them to irreversibly shift into a new state.

The “tipping” of these systems – which include the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC), the #Amazon #rainforest and the #Greenland ice sheet – would have profound consequences for both the #biosphere and people.

More recent research suggests that triggering one tipping element could cause subsequent changes in other tipping elements, potentially leading to a #TippingCascade.

For example, a collapsed AMOC could lead to dieback of the Amazon rainforest and hasten the melt of the Greenland ice sheet.

However, the interactions between individual tipping elements – and the ways they might trigger each other – remain largely underexplored.

In a review study, published last year in Earth System Dynamics, we unpack the current state of scientific understanding of the interactions between individual tipping elements.

We find that scientific literature suggests the majority of interactions between tipping elements will lead to further destabilisation of the climate system.

Existing research also indicates that “tipping cascades” could occur even under current #GlobalWarming projections.

Scientific understanding of individual #TippingElements is continuously improving, but more research on their interactions is needed.

Ecuador bans oil drilling to protect 700,000-hectares of rainforest and indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation.

These are the type of announcements we need.

Landmark Ruling on Uncontacted Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Strikes at Oil Industry - Inside Climate News

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights ordered the Ecuadorian government to protect Indigenous groups from oil operations and to leave oil in the ground underneath their lands.
