Nice read. Cranberries in UK Christmas dinners. Food professor Sarah Bridle about a new study: "..80% of them [57 surveyed food UK experts] thought there was likely to be civil unrest due to food crisEs in the UK in the next 50 years." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/24/wednesday-briefing-from-cranberries-to-christmas-how-the-climate-crisis-threatens-food-security

In the same study: 30% thought it likely by 2035.
Joy to the world! 🎄🕎

So UK food riots in crisEs by 2035, hm?

vanWesten's AMOC scenarios can be downloaded to play with their parameters https://zenodo.org/records/15490235

I had a go with UK's annual and winter DJF temperature °C, extended toward vanWestens outcomes without or with AMOC collapse, in RCP4.5 or RCP8.5.
All this joy...

AR6-WG2 says, Bangladesh must move 2/3 of her Southern power plants by 2030, to escape erosion from saltwater.
By 2030... !

And saltwater creeping up river deltas kills the soil and groundwater aquifers.

I find it also very difficult to imagine the damage to our civilisation from sealevel rise. But it's really very real. And not centuries away either.
The "factories of our civilisation" are all in regions with massive numbers of exposed and vulnerable=poor coastal populations.
Where do they go when their veggie garden and rice paddy yields no harvest anymore, and coral reefs die along with fish stocks.
Sudden urbanisation creates tensions, unless a suitable political culture and resource availability prepare infrastructure and social politics to prevent upheaval.
Each failed state lowers production capacity for all our complex supply chains, with huge follow-up impacts in our societies here in Global North.

The threat from #SeaLevelRise to our civilisation is very real.

The climate impacts of flying are in the spotlight and there is recognition that we need to cut the sector’s emissions - fast.

Until recently, I used to focus on reducing #GHGs. As the #climateimpacts of #climatechange became apparent, I switched focus to #adaptation. But most early impacts are on poor places. Unfortunately, #rich are unwilling to share their #wealth to help the #poor #adapt . Which means #migration becomes the default option. But #immigration is hated by the same #wealthy #nimby and those that are forced #suffer, too.

We need to #welcome #climaterefugees and help them #settle

‘I don’t want to be here. But we can’t go home’: what life is like for people forced to flee floods and fighting

Around the globe, conflict and the climate crisis have caused 83.4m people – a record number – to become refugees within their own countries. Three people from Bangladesh, Sudan and Colombia tell their stories
