A typical bin of white grapes from Paso Robles in 2011 and then heat stressed and damaged from the same block in 2019. The vineyard was no longer suitable for white varieties even with drip irrigation as not enough ground water. All whites were pulled out and replaced
The deep dive in episode 5 of the Raised Beaches Podcast is a discussion on the greenhouse effect, and why even though CO₂ makes up a very small proportion of the atmosphere, it plays a primary role in keeping the planet warm.

"A growing body of fiction and film ... deals with farmers' threatened way of life and their increasing unrest as a result of policies meant to curb climate change or temper its effects," writes Bartolomeo Sala in The Dial. Here's his story about "Creation Lake" by Rachel Kushner, "Cosas Vivas" by Munir Hachemi, "As Bestas," directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen and "Alcarrás," directed by Carla Simón. "The conflict between farmers and the green transition is a new phenomenon," Sala says. "Yet the way that recent works of fiction portray this conflict often feels remarkably familiar, playing into an old idea of the countryside as a remnant bound to be destroyed by the march of progress."

THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL EVERYBODY!
I'm listening to Alex Wagner's podcast from a couple of weeks ago talking about how the #DisasterPresidency is decimating the #EPA.
And I think…
They're also trying to shutdown #FEMA.
…and the #NIH.
…and put a lunatic in charge of #HHS.
…and ignored/dismissed #Covid.
…and are ignoring #BirdFlu. And #Measles.
…and dismiss #ClimateChange.
…and defunding #Superfund toxic waste cleanup.
…and in his first term, repealed laws against dumping toxic coal ash.
Another “why winter rain is so bad in Interior Alaska”. See this parking lot? Snow has been plowed repeatedly. This ice is entirely from the rain that fell January 24-25. I person in my building, over the weekend, slipped on the ice and broke their arm. Direct impact of rain that fell two months ago. #akwx #ClimateChange

A recent @CNN article by Laura Paddison features Prof. Dirk Notz from #CLICCS. Arctic temperatures are soaring, up to 20°C above normal, leading to the lowest February sea ice levels recorded. “We can wipe out entire landscapes.”

Assuming our rulers stay on their present course, following the mantra of economic growth at any cost, then all the climate and environmental crises we're experiencing today will continue to worsen with increasingly disastrous results.
What will their response be to this?
Certainly not to end capitalism or even slow things down. That would be unthinkable!
Instead they will almost certainly opt for geoengineering at some point, using technology to alter Earth’s ecosphere in an attempt to allay the damage caused by technology altering Earth’s ecosphere.
That’s senseless and stupid. But that’s what they’ll do.
It may turn out, unfortunately, that some form of geoengineering will in fact be a necessity if we are to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of global heating.
But — and this is a very big but — that prospect should NOT be used as an excuse to continue with Business As Usual. It should not be seen as a way to prolong capitalism’s reign over us.
We need #Degrowth now.
Man With Sign, March 27, 02025
Last night I slept long and soundly, waking up refreshed a few minutes before the alarm and heading out to Roosevelt Circle in reasonably fine fettle, arriving at 7:31 and greeting Craige (who's putting in extra time when he can), then setting up my big sign and holding up MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

Japan’s average surface temperature could rise by 4.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century if no additional measures to mitigate climate change are taken, the Meteorological Agency and other institutions say. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/03/27/climate-change/climate-change-report/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #environment #meteorologicalagency
Rising global temperatures are altering the timing of natural events, including crop cycles and flowering periods.
In Kyoto #japan historical records spanning over 1,200 years show that cherry blossoms have progressively bloomed earlier, reaching their earliest recorded peak on 25 March 2023.
The combined effects of urbanization & higher temperatures due to #climatechange have caused the peak blossom to gradually move earlier in the year since the early 20th century.

Well, well, well—look who’s back at it. Shell, the undisputed heavyweight champion of environmental disregard, has once again reminded us that its idea of “transition” involves moving from one yacht to another, not from oil to renewables. Welcome to the age of Big Oil’s “managed decline,” which is just a posh way of saying: we’re scaling down investment in the future so we can keep setting fire to the present more profitably
