By 2026, Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes released by the National Environment Agency (NEA) will be buzzing through 50 per cent of all households across the island. That's part of NEA's efforts to expand Project Wolbachia, to provide coverage to areas at risk of large dengue outbreaks. Under the project, which was first introduced in 2016, male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that carry the Wolbachia bacteria are released to mate with the female Aedes mosquitoes. The eggs that are produced do not hatch. On this episode of Morning Shot, Ng Lee Ching, Group Director of the Environmental Health Institute, NEA shares her insights on how effective the project has been so far, how recent weather changes might affect mosquito breeding cycles, and what the public should look out for.

Hi!

How can architecture help us to address the escalating climate emergency? There are many ways it can do so: from ensuring that new buildings are designed to radically reduce carbon emissions during construction, to doing the same in terms of how they will function..The Swiss architect, Philippe Rahm, is at the forefront of this process through his experiments with what he calls climatic architecture, the theme – and title - of his latest book. In this episode of Design Emergency, Philippe tells our cofounder Alice Rawsthorn how he developed the concept of climatic architecture and is putting it into practice..Born in Switzerland, Philippe studied architecture there and in France, where he runs Philippe Rahm Architectes, which he founded ten years ago in Paris. His mission is to enable buildings to become more ecologically responsible by aligning them with their locations and climates to make the most of the light, humidity and other natural phenomena in order to minimise the use of fossil fuels in heating or cooling them..Philippe tells Alice how these principles have been applied to completed and ongoing projects including: Central Park in the Taiwanese city of Taichung, the entrance to Maison de la Radio et de la Musique in Paris, and, working in collaboration with OMA, the Scalo Farini project to redevelop two disused railway yards in Milan..We hope you'll enjoy this episode. You can find images of Philippe and his work on our Instagram @design.emergency. Please join us for future episodes of Design Emergency when we will hear from other inspiring global design leaders who are forging positive change..Design Emergency is supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

Au fost din nou temperaturi record în această vară, urmate de furtuni și ploi care au provocat inundații devastatoare în numeroase zone din Europa Centrală și de Est, inclusiv în România. Care sînt cauzele și la ce să ne așteptăm în continuare? Cum ne adaptăm la noua ordine climatică? Le-am întrebat pe climatologul Roxana Bojariu şi activista de mediu Ana-Maria Pălăduș, vicepreședinta asociației REPER21.De ce e nevoie pe termen mai lung pentru zonele cunoscute ca inundabile, ca vulnerabile?Ana Maria Pălăduş: „În ceea ce priveşte schimbările climatice, discutăm foarte mult despre ce putem face să reducem impactul şi discutăm foarte puţin despre ce se poate face la nivel de adaptare şi rezilienţă şi despre ce trebuie făcut de către autorităţile locale. De altfel, nu prea avem planuri locale de rezilienţă şi adaptare climatică. Ce facem dacă avem valuri de căldură foarte ridicate trei săptămîni la rînd, cum am avut vara aceasta?”Înainte de precipitațiile abundente, am avut secetă, multe rîuri au secat în România. De ce avem acum aceste fenomene extreme? Roxana Bojariu: „Nu doar România experimentează noul tip de climă. Ne îndreptăm spre o nouă ordine climatică peste tot. Evident că în fiecare loc, în funcţie de factorii locali, simţim nuanţat această proiecţie a semnalului global. Avem, într-adevăr, episoade de secetă dar asta nu exclude episoadele cu precipitaţii extreme, pentru că avem vecinătatea Mării Negre, o sursă de vapori de apă foarte importantă, care devine din ce în ce mai caldă. Încălzirea globală nu înseamă doar încălzirea aerului, ci şi încălzirea mărilor, oceanelor, înseamnă creşterea nivelului oceanului planetar.”Cum ar trebui să reacţionăm ca să stăpînim aceste fenomene extreme?Ana Maria Pălăduş: „E bine să nu considerăm că sîntem stăpînii naturii şi că putem s-o controlăm. Cred că trebuie să avem o perspectivă mai umilă şi să înţelegem că noi, prin actele noastre, am produs nişte lucruri care acum se cam întorc împotriva noastră. Şi să nu avem miopia dezastrelor, adică să învăţăm din astfel de experienţe, chiar dacă sînt traumatice, pentru că ele vor continua să vină. Ar trebui să ne reapropiem de ştiinţă, să ne deschidem pentru aceste subiecte, care apar prea puţin în presă. Problema climatică e doar o manifestare din această societate a multiplelor crize. Avem o criză a biodiversităţii, a resurselor naturale, o criză socială. E o datorie şi a autorităţilor şi a altor actori să integreze aceste preocupări în ceea ce fac.”Roxana Bojariu: „La nivel european e acum o mare dezbatere pe tema raportului Draghi. La noi în ţară văd doar dezbateri pe teme minore. În raportul Draghi e clar prezentată situaţia de multicriză în care se află inclusiv Europa unită şi din care trebuie să ieşim cu toţii. Aşa cum ne comportăm noi acum, sîntem o piatră de moară la piciorul Europei unite. Pensiile speciale au avut repartizat din buget anul trecut de 4 ori mai mult decît fondurile pentru cercetare şi inovare. Raportul Draghi spune că în inovare, în cercetare stă creşterea productivităţii şi dezvoltarea pe mai departe a Uniunii Europene. Noi nu mergem în sensul ăsta, din păcate, şi dezbatem teme minore la nivel de campanii electorale.” Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral!

Scafandrii au recuperat joi dimineață cadavrul ultimului bărbat dispărut în urma scufundării, luni, în Sicilia, a super-iaht-ului aparținând magnatului tehnologic britanic Mike Lynch, a declarat pentru AFP paza de coastă. Se confirmă astfel decesul acestuia. Incidentul a stârnit numeroase reacții în presa internațională. ”Dar cum a putut super-yahtul lui Mike Lynch să se scufunde atât de repede?”, întreabă Le Figaro.”Primul motiv este că barca s-a trezit în inima unei furtuni, prinsă într-o trombă de apă. Acest eveniment meteorologic este un fenomen de „vârtej”, asemănător tornadelor de pe uscat. Deși tromba de apă este extrem de greu de prezis, mulți se întreabă dacă măsurile de siguranță au fost suficiente în timp ce barca se afla în mijlocul unei furtuni”.Totuși, nimeni nu face o asemenea agitație atunci când bărcile refugiaților se răstoarnă, deplânge ziarul italian Avvenire, citat de Eurotopics.„Ar trebui să ne comportăm mereu le fel, să empatizăm mereu cu soarta naufragiaților, să-i aducem mereu pe supraviețuitori la mal cât de repede posibil. Dar, din păcate, aceste reguli fundamentale ale umanității nu se aplică tuturor ființelor umane. Este izbitor contrastul dintre simpatia de înțeles față de pasagerii de pe iaht și tratamentul politic, s-ar putea spune chiar „antropologic” la adresa migranților naufragiați în călătoriile speranței, pe coasta de sud a Mediteranei.”Citeste siUn magnat britanic din domeniul tehnologiei, dat dispărut pe un iaht scufundatIrish Examiner atenționează că „temperaturile record din Marea Mediterană din această vară au contribuit la furtuna ciudată care a scufundat super-iahtul. Temperaturile în Marea Mediterană au ajuns la 30C, cu trei grade mai mari decât media. ... Italia a devenit cunoscută de oamenii de știință ca fiind unul dintre punctele fierbinți de risc climatic din Europa, datorită unei game de vulnerabilități, inclusiv locația sa geografică, topografia diversă și zonele de coastă dens locuite. În ultimii trei ani, țara a fost lovită de inundații devastatoare, alunecări de teren, incendii, valuri de căldură record și prăbușirea unui ghețar din Dolomiți, care a ucis 11 oameni. În 2023, au existat 378 de evenimente climatice extreme în Italia, o creștere cu 22% față de 2022.”Un accident tragic, nici mai mult, nici mai puțin, comentează The Independent:„La un anumit nivel, este probabil mai reconfortant să credem că lucrează forțe întunecate, mai degrabă decât să acceptăm că astfel de accidente ciudate, cum ar fi scufundarea super-iahtului, pot să apară și chiar există – și că niciunul dintre noi, oricât ar fi de bogat sau de bine conectat, nu este imun. Dar se întâmplă coincidențe; acesta este adevărul întâmplător și nedrept al existenței umane, oricât de mici ar fi fost șansele pe hârtie. Doar pentru că ceva este uluitor și greu de procesat, asta nu îl face altceva decât ceea ce pare.”

In this 226th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this episode, we discuss a new breakthrough in plant genetics: polyploid potatoes and corn from Ohalo Genetics, which are claimed to double the harvest from individual plants. Beginning with a discussion of naturally occurring polyploidy in other species, including frogs, we analyze the discussion of Ohalo's new products with an evolutionary lens. Is it possible that biotechnology can evade trade-offs, or is this utopian thinking in the corporate world? Why do so many mistakes of modernity come in the form of people accustomed to complicated systems, applying their knowledge to complex systems?

Dacă în ultimii ani am tot văzut în Europa manifestații ale tinerilor care militează pentru justiție climatică și trag semnale de alarmă cu privire la pericolul global al schimbărilor climatice, figura cea mai cunoscută fiind cea a Gretei Thunberg, care a intrat în activismul de mediu de la 15 ani, iată că recent asociația elvețiană „Vîrstnicii pentru protecția climei” a avut cîștig de cauză la Curtea Europeană a Drepturilor Omului (CEDO), care, marți, a condamnat Elveția pentru inacțiune climatică. O decizie istorică, după cum consideră activiștii de mediu. CEDO a considerat că inacțiunea climatică a unui stat, în cazul de față Elveția, este o încălcare a drepturilor omului. Ce consecințe ar putea avea această decizie pentru alte țări? Ce rol poate juca sistemul de justiție în lupta împotriva schimbărilor climatice? De ce avem luni consecutive de temperaturi record? I-am întrebat pe activiştii de mediu Ana-Maria Pălăduș, vicepreședinta asociației REPER21, şi Marian Ignat.Marian Ignat: „CEDO e prima instituţie juridică internaţională care include în drepturile omului acest element al impactului schimbărilor climatice. Chiar dacă în acest caz CEDO nu spune cu cît ar trebui să fie mai ambiţioasă Elveţia, ea dă un semnal de alarmă şi e foarte clar că Elveţia trebuie să facă ceva acum, ca să nu pună o povară pe generaţiile viitoare, adică, pe de-o parte, o acţiune clară, concretă, rapidă, cît şi pe termen lung, astfel încît în cel tîrziu trei decenii să devină neutră climatic, adică să aibă şi perspectivă de viitor.”În luna martie a acestui an s-au înregistrat temperaturi mult mai ridicate decît ar fi fost normal. Este de fapt a zecea lună consecutivă cu recorduri de temperatură. Care sînt explicațiile, e un fenomen reversibil sau asistăm deja la consecințe incontrolabile ale emisiilor de gaze cu efect de seră care provoacă încălzirea globală?Ana-Maria Pălăduș: „Trendul de creştere a temperaturilor medii globale nu evoluează în mod linear, putem să avem evoluţii cîteodată foarte accelerate, chiar exponenţiale, apoi un an, doi în care se mai duc în jos temperaturile, după care cresc iar foarte mult. Dar, ca tendinţă medie, asistăm la o creştere consistentă, sistematică a temperaturilor medii globale. Ce se întîmplă anul acesta, spre deosebire de alţi ani, este că, peste efectul antropic al schimbărilor climatice, se suprapune fenomenul El Niño, care are loc odată la doi-cinci ani. Sînt schimbări ale curenţilor din Oceanul Pacific, fenomen care se caracterizează prin creşteri mai mari decît cele normale ale temperaturilor medii, schimbări ale regimurilor de precipitaţii. Dar şi fenomenul El Niño este, la rîndul lui, mult mai puternic din cauza schimbărilor climatice. Deci sîntem într-un cerc vicios. Oameni de ştiinţă consideră că vom vedea efecte ale acestui fenomen cel mai probabil pînă în vara acestui an.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral!

In this ep, we chat with Peter Sun, founding team at Climactic, an early stage fund investing in ClimateTech, specifically focused on efficiency in software which has a lot to do with, you guessed it, AI.We dive into the nuances of how AI is impacting climate tech, where the opportunities for software are in decarbonization, and Peter's journey joining the founding team. As someone who personally is wary of putting AI in every conversation, Peter had real insight into the ins-and-outs of whats real and whats not, and I really enjoyed learning from him.As always, thanks so much for listening and enjoy the episode!-----

Droughts, Floods, and Global Climatic Anomalies in the Indian Ocean World (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) explores histories of droughts and floods in the Indian Ocean World, and their connections to broader global climatic anomalies. It deploys an interdisciplinary approach rooted in the emerging field of climate history to investigate the multifaceted effects of global climatic anomalies on regions affected by the Indian Ocean Monsoon System – regularly conceived of as the macro-region's ‘deep structure.' Case studies explore how droughts and floods related to anomalous climatic conditions have historically affected states, societies, and ecologies across the Indian Ocean World, including in relation to food security, epidemic diseases, political (in)stability, economic change, infrastructural development, colonialism, capitalism, and scientific knowledge. Tracing longue durée patterns from the twelfth to the early twentieth centuries, this book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of global climatic events and their effects on the Indian Ocean World. It highlights essential historical case studies for contextualizing the potential effects of global warming on the macro-region in the present and future. Philip Gooding is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Indian Ocean World Centre, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Ahmed Yaqoub AlMaazmi is a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University, Near Eastern Studies Department. His research focuses on the intersection of law, the occult sciences, and the environment across the western Indian Ocean.

Droughts, Floods, and Global Climatic Anomalies in the Indian Ocean World (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) explores histories of droughts and floods in the Indian Ocean World, and their connections to broader global climatic anomalies. It deploys an interdisciplinary approach rooted in the emerging field of climate history to investigate the multifaceted effects of global climatic anomalies on regions affected by the Indian Ocean Monsoon System – regularly conceived of as the macro-region's ‘deep structure.' Case studies explore how droughts and floods related to anomalous climatic conditions have historically affected states, societies, and ecologies across the Indian Ocean World, including in relation to food security, epidemic diseases, political (in)stability, economic change, infrastructural development, colonialism, capitalism, and scientific knowledge. Tracing longue durée patterns from the twelfth to the early twentieth centuries, this book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of global climatic events and their effects on the Indian Ocean World.

How can cultural heritage give us the methodological tools and source material to confront climate change? How can the cultural heritage sector lead the way into a future that proactively faces the climate crisis? Who can be involved in this work—who gets to identify as a “cultural heritage expert”—and what is the work to be done? Climatic and Environmental Threats to Cultural Heritage (Routledge, 2022) examines the challenges that environmental change, both sudden and long-term, poses to the preservation of cultural material. But more than this, Robyn Sloggett and Marcelle Scott point out how our confrontation of the climate crisis relies on the cultural heritage sector, which makes records and narratives available to inform decisions now and into the future. Bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders who have an interest in—and responsibility for—the care of cultural heritage material and sites of cultural heritage value, the book explores thinking on and actions in relation to issues of climate change and environmental risk. Sloggett and Scott highlight stakeholders' shared interest in drawing on collective expertise to meet the challenges that environmental change brings to the future of our cultural heritage and our cultural identity. Based on the understanding that this global challenge requires local, national and international co‐operation, the book also considers how local knowledge can have international application. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology and a volunteer at Interference Archive.

Global trade requires goods to circumnavigate the globe through different climatic zones, predominantly involving sea carriage. The standard general purpose freight container, while effective at protecting the cargo within, is unable to prevent the effects of ambient temperature fluctuations and the resultant condensation that this might cause in connection with certain cargo types.

The Broken Meeple Show - Episode 56 - Climatic Endings in Euro Games Bit of a shorter segment today as I have to rush off to teach games at a public event not to mention I got a ton of content to get done! :D But as well as the usual updates you get to hear a mega rant about Flick of Faith, my giddy schoolgirl excitement for the Ark Nova expansion Aquarius with more details released and then my discussion on climatic endings in Euro Games. . . . linked to an anxiety attack moment where a simple counter argument revealed yet another issue with the industry. 00:00 Introduction and Updates 09:14 What I Played - Flick of Faith 17:32 News - Ark Nova Aquarius 26:42 What is a Climatic Ending in a Euro Game?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [4] Climatic consequences of regional nuclear conflicts (Robock et al., 2007), published by Will Aldred on July 15, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Will's quick summary and hot takes: I've heard this Robock et al. paper get cited a lot, including twice at the SERI Conference '22. This is unfortunate, because while the paper makes important claims relating to nuclear x-risk, these claims are probably wrong. To clarify, the paper being cited at all is not unfortunate, and the authors' writing of this paper started an important debate. For this, I commend them. However, I've almost always heard the paper's conclusion cited in isolation, without acknowledgement of the subsequent debate and counterconclusion. More on this below. Robock et al.'s, paper, published in 2007, concluded that there'd be significant global cooling effects resulting from a regional nuclear war, e.g., between India and Pakistan. "Significant global cooling effects" as Robock et al. refer to it means nuclear autumn bordering on nuclear winter. Reisner et al., a separate group from Los Alamos National Lab, in 2018 published a paper titled "Climate Impact of a Regional Nuclear Weapons Exchange: An Improved Assessment Based On Detailed Source Calculations." Given that the original Robock et al. paper was titled "Climate Impact of a Regional Nuclear Weapons Exchange," this was a spicy move. The Reisner et al. paper effectively reruns the modelling done by Robock et al., but with some different and arguably more sophisticated starting assumptions. Reisner et al. conclude that regional nuclear war would result in negligible global cooling. Robock et al. responded to Reisner et al.'s critique, and Reisner et al. responded to the response. Both groups make some valid arguments, but overall Reisner et al. are closer to the truth, according to me (or at least, the version of me at the time of writing). To explain the heart of the disagreement, I'll first lay out my 3-step model of where disagreement occurs when talking about nuclear winter effects: How much soot gets up into the stratosphere? Given x quantity of soot in the stratosphere, how much cooling occurs? Given y amount of cooling, i) how much crop failure? ii) how much human starvation? It turns out that 2 is pretty uncontroversial, and 1 and 3 are where disagreements lie. I'll return to 3 in other posts (e.g., I'll discuss Helfand, 2013 and Jagermeyr, 2020). 1 is what the Robock and Reisner groups are disagreeing over. Reisner et al. write: While our thorough simulations of the firestorm produce about 3.7 × 109 kg of black carbon, we find that the vast majority of the black carbon never reaches an altitude above weather systems (approximately 12 km). Therefore, our Earth system model simulations conducted with model-informed atmospheric distributions of black carbon produce significantly lower global climatic impacts than assessed in prior studies, as the carbon at lower altitudes is more quickly removed from the atmosphere. In addition, our model ensembles indicate that statistically significant effects on global surface temperatures are limited to the first 5 years and are much smaller in magnitude than those shown in earlier works. None of the simulations produced a nuclear winter effect. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

Sermons from Mandy Schoonhoven on May 21, 2022

Migration and architecture have emerged as a new topic of research at a global level. Migrant worker dormitories in Singapore, for example, are sites where structural inequities in architecture and legal regulations have had a significant impact on the living conditions of migrant workers, and they hit the headlines in 2020 as sites for the rapid spread of COVID. Dr Jennifer Ferng joins Dr Natali Pearson on SSEAC Stories to talk about the relationship between architecture and labour, arguing that climate change, capital, and power intersect with the forced displacement of migrants to reinforce existing inequalities of ethnicity, class, and citizenship in Singapore. About Jennifer Ferng: Dr Jennifer Ferng is Senior Lecturer in Architecture and Academic Director at the University of Sydney. Her research addresses asylum seekers and refugees, forced displacement, and migration in the built environment of the Asia-Pacific region. Most recently, she was a Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) at University College London in 2021.
