"Climate change is not one problem - it is a sea of problems" — Dr Astro Teller speaking with Dr Suze Kundu on the huge innovations needed to tackle #ClimateChange. Astro approaches the challenge of climate change in an holistic manner, calling it a "systems problem" that can only be overcome with a suite of innovative solutions.

"We cannot fight climate change without digital technologies." - Margrethe Vestager, executive VP for a Europe fit for the digital age, on a Digital Twin earth (https://lnkd.in/eWGiB3w8) Digital twin Earths aim to simulate Earth processes to accurately predict and monitor various phenomena, including extreme climate events. Prof Z. Bob Su and Prof Yijian Zeng from University of Twente discuss how developing a digital twin of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum could enhance climate predictions and resource management.

We must become even more aware of our climate, its change, and how scientists model it. Ars Technica released a very intriguing and well-thought-out video that doesn't throw jargon out but explains the variables and their impact on our climate. We can become much more efficient with the natural and technological resources that we have. Rather than being pessimistic about the future, I'm looking forward to how we can use new technologies or change our consumer awareness to positively impact the trajectory on which society embarked. If you want to learn more about our climate and how scientists use large-scale simulation to predict change, I recommend watching this video! #climate #digitaltransformation #efficiency https://lnkd.in/emF4BiQg

To celebrate World Ocean Day, we asked AI to help us imagine a future in which humanity could leverage the oceans to be part of the solution to the climate crisis and help restore the oceans' and the earth's balance. It came up with some fun ideas! What's your take on what the future of oceans should look like? #WorldOceanDay #OceanClimateSolutions #marineCDR #DirectOceanCapture

💡What happens in one part of our planet, doesn’t stay there. When one part of the Earth’s system changes, it can set off a chain reaction with far-reaching and potentially catastrophic consequences for the rest of the world. 🧊 The loss of huge amounts of ice – our planet is losing 1.2 trillion tons of ice every year – is one such example: Less ice means that less heat can be reflected back into the atmosphere, because darker surfaces tend to absorb more heat. Thus, #iceloss triggers more warming, which in turn causes more ice to melt – a vicious cycle. 📹 The newest episode of our virtual #climatescience workshop series with Twila Moon dives into such very concrete examples and shows just how deeply our Earth system is interconnected. ▶️ Watch now 👉 https://lnkd.in/ehDyndvF Distribution partner: Alliance magazine

What is Venefication? It is the process on how a planet changes its atmosphere in an irreversible runaway greenhouse effect, with high pressures and high temperatures. It is by far the most extreme theory on the cumulative effects of climate change and if correct can turn our planet into a defacto sterilizing autoclave. Where only the most hardy lithotropic extremophiles will have any chance of survival. Considering that many predictions and climate change models are coming to reality many decades earlier and if anything the effects of climate change are perhaps purposefully being undercooked as to not upset the chronically upset. It may be time to send a little bitty upsetting reminder that our clock is ticking and the only way that it can be slowed and perhaps even reversed is to massively invest in a lunar and space industry as to cover a great part of our industrial needs. Aside from this I see no realistic way out of an eventual Venefication event.

New post today. I was thinking of climate change in the distant future. I made a scene of burren hills and mountains and noxious gas clouds. I still see room for a beautiful sunset. I believe the earth will re-invent itself. I hope you like it. Title: A new earth #apocalypse #climatechange #Tomorrow #tantillofineart #tantillo #joetantillo

Earth warmed more than expected in 2023 and so far no one can explain why. 🤒 It's an anomaly within the anomaly. 🪆 As commented on in this Nature article: "Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory" https://lnkd.in/d3WMuUh9 "It’s humbling, and a bit worrying, to admit that no year has confounded climate scientists’ predictive capabilities more than 2023 has." "We need answers for why 2023 turned out to be the warmest year in possibly the past 100,000 years. And we need them quickly."
