Lessons from the Past on Adapting to Climate Change | Laprisha Berry Daniels | TED
Laprisha Berry Daniels’ grandparents left the Southern United States and migrated north to Detroit in the 1950s — a move that could be considered a big “climate change.” Now, as a public health social worker, Berry Daniels mines the survival strategies of her grandparents to think about how we can all learn from the past…

Judging by middle-ages vineyards found in Iceland, it’s easy to say we have no actual control over Hot + Cold and never did. Maybe this person can finally define the spectrum that goes from Weather on one side and Climate on the end: what is the tipping point defining Climate Change? They never do it. They cannot define it. It’s made-up.
The growing costs of her floods is both failed-economy costs with relaxed flood-plain rules and other marginal lands built up since the ‘good’ land was taken. Yawn.

“Weather” is what is happening right now. “Climate” refers to average weather conditions over many (typically 15 +) years. “What was the average temperature today in New York City?” is a weather question. “What is the average temperature in February in New York City?” is a climate question. Another climate question would be “What is the average temperature of the planet Earth?” It’s around 59 degrees Fahrenheit, or 15 degrees Celsius, and it has been remarkably consistent for the last ~11,000 years according to geologic records. That average global temperature is what’s increasing.

*😅Why the Paris agreement is so vital?*
After decades of torturous negotiations and bitter disappointment at the UN COP climate talks, the hard-won 2015 Paris agreement was a major diplomatic breakthrough. Achieved with rare consensus, it has huge legitimacy. That’s what makes it powerful. It sets the standard for all nations to follow …😅
@MaybeYoureRight-1234
February 2, 2024 at 12:13 pm
*😅So what did it do?*
It introduced a new global norm: achieving net-zero. Countries agreed to keep the world’s heating “well below 2℃ […] and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5℃”.
To get there, the globe must achieve net zero emissions by around mid-century. All countries need to set national targets to cut emissions and strengthen them every five years. Since 2015, well over 100 countries have pledged to achieve net zero. These countries represent more than 90% of the global economy …😅
@MaybeYoureRight-1234
February 2, 2024 at 12:14 pm
😅The pledges made in Paris and afterwards are beginning to drive faster change. In the five years to 2020, global clean energy investment grew by 2%. Since 2020, the pace of growth has accelerated significantly to 12% a year. The International Energy Agency (IEA) now expects global fossil fuel use to peak this decade, before the world economy switches irreversibly to clean energy.
At present, the transition is not happening fast enough. But it is happening. And there’s no turning back …😅
Here are six encouraging trends to watch in 2023 …😅

1— G7 economies will form a ‘climate club’
In December, the G7 grouping of the world’s richest democracies agreed to form a “climate club”. Conceived by Nobel Prize-winning economist William Nordhaus, the club is an arrangement where countries develop common standards for climate ambition and share benefits among club members. The club will focus first on decarbonisation of industries such as steelmaking …😅
@MaybeYoureRight-1234
February 2, 2024 at 12:16 pm
2— New carbon tariffs will be introduced in the EU
To avoid the problem of European companies becoming less competitive with companies from nations without a carbon price, EU nations agreed in December to bring in carbon tariffs.
That means imports from countries without an adequate carbon price will be taxed. It also means European companies can’t offshore production to avoid the carbon price.
This is just the tip of the spear, with other rich nations like Canada looking to follow suit. Over time, these tariffs will have a ripple effect, forcing countries reliant on exporting to these markets to move faster toward decarbonisation …😅

February 2, 2024 at 12:16 pm
3— The Ukraine war boosted renewables, as nations focus on energy security
When Russia invaded Ukraine, Western nations slapped sanctions on Moscow and cut imports of Russian gas. Fossil fuel prices spiked. Bad news, right? Not so fast. The IEA says the war has actually supercharged clean energy investment by making clean energy a matter of security.
In response to Putin’s invasion, major European economies increased renewable energy targets as they moved to end reliance on Russian gas. With renewables ramping up, the EU now intends to set a stronger 2030 emissions target before the COP28 climate summit later this year …😅

Don’t you think full disclosure, and our fall ETA disclosure would lead to conversations with extraterrestrials that are remarkably human that have their own planet that they take care of back somewhere else in the universe and that perhaps if they figured out how to reverse space-time moving beyond the speed of light to get here and actually be alive. Upon arrival probably means they have teleportation technology and there’s a triangle craft on the space force flag so it’s probably time that we talk about how extraterrestrials could benefit us on earth taking care of our planet better why is this not the question? How is this not obvious thought to everyone

TED and it’s speakers didn’t used to worship “climate” like a golden calf.

Wonderful to hear this spelled out “Denial”
To quote Geoff Berner, responding to the floods “The rich folks are moving to the high ground.”
I think that without explicitly saying self help is better than no help, this presentation hits the nail right on the head. Prevailing economic conditions will be blamed by government, prevailing social conditions of discrimination and division by race, class, gender, physical ability (old uncle Tom Cobley and all…)
Governmental collusion with Big Oil and King Coal is not about to change, we are in denial if we don’t accept that they will drive straight on into the train wreck.
Here in the UK, pledges of funds for environmental action from ministers in government and in opposition alike have been withdrawn. Today, the news that the 1.5° threshold has been reached across the globe for a full 12 months for the first time. What does that say about governmental help in a crisis.
