Scientists might be using a flawed strategy to predict how species will fare under climate change

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1011120

"We found that space-for-time substitution generates predictions that are wrong in terms of whether the response to warming is a positive or negative one[...]This method says that ponderosa pines should benefit from warming, but they actually suffer with warming. This is dangerously misleading."

Scientists might be using a flawed strategy to predict how species will fare under climate change

<p>For decades, scientists have deployed a specific method to predict how a species will fare under a changing climate, but that method might be producing results that are misleading or wrong, according to new research.</p>

Coral atoll islands may outpace sea-level rise with local ecological restoration, scientists say

https://phys.org/news/2023-12-coral-atoll-islands-outpace-sea-level.html

"Far from being doomed, in their natural state, most coral atoll islands could adapt to sea level rise," says Dr. Sebastian Steibl from the University of Auckland in New Zealand, lead author of the study. "This paper is a global call to identify and quantify the best measures for restoring atoll island growth."

Coral atoll islands may outpace sea-level rise with local ecological restoration, scientists say

Ecological restoration may save coral atoll islands from the rising seas of climate change, according to an international team of scientists, conservationists, and an indigenous leader.

Not to moralize #TheBealtes, but John said it best when it said, "I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind."

On that topic there is a great #NaimaBock song, titled, "Working" that explores this very topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8ssDrSvfdI

Research reveals regions in US where heat adaptation and mitigation efforts can most benefit future populations

https://phys.org/news/2023-12-reveals-regions-mitigation-efforts-benefit.html

"New research published in Nature Cities examines, for the first time, the potential benefits of combining heat adaptation strategies—such as implementing cool roofs and planting street trees—with mitigation strategies—such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions—to lessen heat exposure across major U.S. cities."

Research reveals regions in US where heat adaptation and mitigation efforts can most benefit future populations

Extreme heat waves, once considered rare, are now frequent and severe in cities due to climate change. Phoenix faced such a brutal heat wave in July of 2023 when it endured 31 consecutive days of high temperatures of at least 110° F. The severity of the heat wave triggered a state of emergency. In June of 2021, the town of Lytton, B.C., Canada, hit a blistering 121° F, leading to a fire that burnt most of the village.

It's good, and I might even grow to like to more the more I listen to it. This is the second time. It really is good. I am not sure it lives up to the hype. That being said, considering all the hype why was this not made available in HiRes?

The Anthropocene condition: Evolving through social–ecological transformations

https://phys.org/news/2023-12-anthropocene-condition-evolving-socialecological.html

"Yet, as Ellis demonstrates, portraying the Anthropocene as an environmental crisis ignores its most important message. When people work together, they can indeed change the world for the better."

The Anthropocene condition: Evolving through social–ecological transformations

Drawing together an array of interdisciplinary studies across archaeology, ecology, anthropology, and evolutionary theory, Erle Ellis, professor of geography and environmental systems at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, explains the evolution of the cultural practices that have enabled societies to develop unprecedented capabilities to scale up and transform the ecological systems that sustain them.
