What Have We Learned From a Summer of Climate Reckoning?

Рет қаралды 13,423

Күн бұрын

This summer has been a parade of broken climate records. June was the hottest June and July was not just the hottest July but the hottest month ever on record. At the same time, it looks like we are at the start of a green revolution: Decarbonization efforts have gone far better than what many had hoped for just a few years ago, and renewable energy is getting cheaper.
How should we make sense of these seemingly mixed signals? What does it mean to hold the pessimism of climate disaster and the optimism of climate action together?
There are few individuals better suited to navigate these questions than Kate Marvel, a senior climate scientist at Project Drawdown. In a conversation with guest host David Wallace-Wells, Marvel explores whether climate change is “accelerating,” why reducing air pollution will lead to more warming before it leads to less; how the human response to a changing climate can be more unpredictable than the climate itself; how witch burnings increased during the last major change in climate; what the relationship is between hotter weather and social unrest; how decarbonization sets us on track to avoiding the worst-case climate models; why, despite all the challenges ahead, there are still immeasurable benefits to fighting for a cleaner planet and much more.
This episode was hosted by David Wallace-Wells, a writer at The New York Times Magazine and the author of “The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming.” He also writes a newsletter (www.nytimes.com/newsletters/d...) for New York Times Opinion that explores climate change, technology and the future of the planet and how we live on it.

Renewables barely cover new population needs let alone existing requirements. There's 8 billion precious humans today and every year another 80 million net new humans join us. Just to accommodate these folks requires construction of one New York City worth of infrastructure food education housing transportation clothing healthcare etc every single month!! In addition there's one and only one number worth watching. Parts per million greenhouse gases pollution continue to rise. This single number is rarely presented to the public. Finally we're burning through 100 billion barrels of oil equivalent fossil fuels energy annually. . There's no Oil Fairy refilling the holes.

Couple of things… first, the rate of renewable energy adoption is accelerating, largely because renewables are now the cheapest source of electricity. And land transportation is electrifying quickly, too. So don’t assume current energy system is future energy system. Second, population growth is slowing, and should level off by 2070, then go into decline.

@kendomyers 10 ай бұрын

@@kmoses582 Ok, glad you asked The simplest answer is that climate change manifests itself in many ways, so it can increase snow in one area while decreasing in another. In fact, this very podcast explained that- did you even listen to the podcast? increased temperature driven by CO2 can cause drought and floods - increased temperatures not only dry an area out through increased evaporation and plant stress but it can also decrease precipitation by reducing the amount of time the air reaches the dew point But also global warming can increase the carrying capacity for water of the atmosphere so sonewhere like a very high mountain that tend to catch precipitation, like the Rockies, that can then actually get deeper snow pack for the season! The area I lived in, the foothills of the Adirondacks, could see less snow over time because of their relatively low elevation, while the peaks of the same mountains can actually increase in snow! Also, you mentioned climate vs weather; I described a long term change noticed over many years (climate), you brought up a single season's worth of snow - weather. Also, it doesnt matter that all time records still remain unbroken in certain locations- look at the larger trends. Global- ie the whole Earth - GLOBAL hottest years on record, as compared to the city of Phoenix, as you attempted to counter with. In Arizona this year people were passing out from the heat then getting burned from the hot plavement. The climate disaster is now. Im glad you asked for details, because now I just explained it to you. What Im afraid of is that you might be doing that thing where deniers, who again all know they are wrong, try to find randos who can't answer the questions like I just did. We only have one planet Earth. Wake up and join us in saving our civilization!

Climate change is here. In my 56 years on this planet it has always been here. I remember as a little kid reading the Dr.Suess book The Lorax. It was sad and had a strong message. The book has never left me. Earth systems inertia has been overcome by humans and now we are beginning to see the response (lagging w/variability) until dominate forces (tipping points) and continued human exacerbated accelerations drive the overall earth system into a dominate direction. We should be horrified. I fear our hubris and the slow roll into the realization of what we have done. We shouldn’t spend our time discussing 1.5C. Most people in the US do not understand Centigrade and could we have picked a worse indicate of change. I think not.

This information is very misleading, the warming is accelerating at an exponential pace. Hansen's latest work acknowledges our climate models greatly underestimated climate sensitivity while also greatly underestimating the aerosol masking effect.The earth energy imbalance has doubled in the last decade, over 1.6 watts per meter squared now. Chaos theory was fathered by Edward Lorenz, who created some of the earliest computer weather simulations. He summed up his observations with the phrase " sensitive dependence on initial conditions".

Trick Question: Which of the 3 basic EV drivetrains - all-battery BEV, plug-in hybrid PHEV, hydrogen fuel cell HFCEV - offers the most potential to reduce fuel/energy consumption, emissions AND insane traffic? The correct answer is PHEV to serve ~65% future EV needs. BEV serves the remainder 35% in lightweight vehicles and short distance travel/transport needs. Combustible hydrogen in the ICEngine of a PHEV+H drivetrain stores at much lower pressure in smaller safer tanks and can deliver at least twice the equivalent MPG possible with fuel cell EV tech. So the question is: WHY are we misled to believe BEV tech is the only option for the motor vehicle industry to pursue?
