Waiting... For a Better Climate...


Yesterday the first part of the Fifth IPCC Report was published.

It doesn't look too good for these white guys...
His life on this island will be tough because he couldn't leave on the ice ... well, there was none. He will have to live on bird's eggs and other small stuff. Further uphill there was a mum with her cub. We, of course, were happy to see them. But they will have the same problem.
One can only hope that we will get our act together before it is too late. :-/

Das habe ich auch einmal so gesehen. Das ist nicht mal so lange her. Man ist ja Archäologe und denkt in ganz anderen Zeiträumen. - Aber ich glaube inzwischen, wir machen uns das etwas zu einfach. Soll ich annehmen, dass das ganze Klima-Geschwätz von Leuten inszeniert wird, die einen Arbeitsplatz brauchen? 'The Climatologist Conspiracy' sozusagen? Es gibt schon einiges, was dafür spricht, dass wir an der Erderwärmung mitbasteln. (Zum geologischen Standpunkt hier eine andere Meinung: www.focus.de/wissen/klima/tid-8638/diskussion_aid_234320.html). Ich habe übrigens auch immer gedacht, dass Vulkane mehr CO2 in die Luft schleudern - aber auch das ist wohl eine falsche Vermutung gewesen.
Was mich sehr irritiert, ist die Tatsache, dass genau die Leute, die von der ganzen Sache profitieren, wissenschaftliche Beobachtungen herunterspielen. Vielleicht gibt es eher eine Art 'Economy-Conspiracy'? Was spricht dagegen, dass man versucht, den CO2-Ausstoss zu reduzieren? Oder dass von Seiten der Medien auf diese Dinge aufmerksam gemacht wird? Ich meine, seit wir uns so hübsch industrialisiert haben, ist eine Menge an Stoffen in die Luft geblasen worden, deren Wirkung wir schwerlich absehen können. Ist es da nicht sinnvoll, eventuell nach 'saubereren' Lösungen zu suchen? Selbst wenn die Klimaerwärmung 'natürlich' sein sollte? Heute abend kommt übrigens ein Film dazu auf Arte; den werde ich mir mal zu Gemüte führen.
Es gibt viele ungelöste ökologische Probleme. Ich frage mich, wie wir reagieren würden, wenn einfach gar nichts getan würde. Würde man sich dann über die Tatenlosigkeit aufregen? Ich schätze, dass den Eisbären eh nicht mehr zu helfen ist; aber ich bin doch sehr dafür, dass diese Abläufe nicht völlig ignoriert werden.
Ich bin generell nicht sonderlich politisch - aber ich fände es schön, wenn wir unsere (Um)welt nicht zu schnell völlig ruinierten. Mir wäre es genau so lieb, wenn der Ölsandabbau in Kanada sofort gestoppt würde - davon redet leider keiner mehr (oder ich habe es in den Medien übersehen). Wir sind eine gierige Spezies - und einige von uns übertreiben es gehörig.

CO2 levels have risen 40% since industrialization started, and in Finland, where I live, temperatures have already risen more than two degrees celsius in the past 166 years. Yet Wall Street Journal released an editorial last week denying the whole climate change. They reasoned - this time - that scientists do not actually approve on climate change, because only 1% of the scientific research papers explicitly say "climate change is caused by man." Of course, neither do they say that "earth orbits sun", "earth is not flat" nor "man descends from ape". (Yes, there are lots of creationists in US who deny evolution as well!)
Murdoch's Wall Street Journal uses lawyers logic, where there is no ethics inbuilt, only promotion of short-term profit for its interest groups. With our WSJ-like, first world liberal economics rapidly spreading all over the globe, I think polar bear has one single chance: the zoo. Even if we stopped puffing our carbon on-air right now, the benefits could be seen only in a century or so. And we won't stop, the WSJ's of this world will see to that.
From the standpoint of mother earth we are actually doing quite good: it will only take her a few thousand years to recuperate after we have annihilated ourselves. We'll just need to leave the zoo doors open before we go.
Yes, this sounds so grim. And who knows: if we've been able to have all these revolutions - including the industrial one - in the past, maybe we'll be able to have an environmental revolution as well. It will be hard, though, because revolutions have never been started for someone, let alone something else, they have always started for the self. But revolutions are known to have been started to save homes.
"So have you guys picked a new planet yet?", God tweeted a few weeks ago. Let's hope we never will, and forget Mars missions and alike as well, and start calling this tiny blue sphere our home.
Bee Nee club has replied to SpoThe native Americans are right when they say that the white man will only learn that he can't eat money when he has destroyed his surroundings. We need solutions and we need them quickly. No one wants to live in caves again... But the money-makers of this world alreday count on the resources under the ice in order to destroy more instead of finding new clean possibilities. I wonder where this will end. There is no 'Plan B' for our planet. -- (And no one speaks of the sand oil mining anymore...)
Who knows, probably we come from Mars...? The latest horrible news would support this theory.
Spo has replied to Bee Nee clubI read through quite a few of the East Anglia emails after the Climategate five years ago, and to me the whole Climategate looked like a hoax much in the same vein than last week's WSJ story. Those whose business is hurt by the climate change just try to desperately dig up any loopholes they can find in the reasoning behind the change, and then start massive campaigns upon their findings. They know they are not telling the truth, or that their their truth is out of context, but they also know that the more they keep spreading it, the more there are people who believe it and eventually start forwarding it. It works like spam email.
There are scientific papers that deny the change or human influence on it, but they are often from sources that are not reliable, and they are published in journals that are not reliable either. That means errors get through the pipeline and get published. The most appalling fault I've read about was that one research team had consistently done all their math in degrees instead of radians (or the other way around, I don't remember which) and of course the results were not even in the ballpark! But the paper got published, and was later used as evidence that climate change does not exist.
It does not help any that the scientists speak difficult language and consciously avoid simplifying things and are generally very cautious in their output and don't like to fight for their views in the public. And I can understand them perfectly well: the wrath of the trollers paid by the WSJs is dire!
