for - The projected timing of climate departure from recent variability - Camilo Mora et al. - 6th mass extinction - biodiversity loss - to - climate departure map - of major cities around the world - 2013
Summary - This is an extremely important paper with a startling conclusion of the magnitude of the social and economic impacts of the biodiversity disruption coming down the pipeline - It is likely that very few governments are prepared to adapt to these levels of ecosystemic disruption - Climate departure is defined as an index of the year when: - The projected mean climate of a given location moves to a state that is - continuously outside the bounds of historical variability - Climate departure is projected to happen regardless of how aggressive our climate mitigation pathway - The business-as-usual (BAU) scenario in the study is RCP85 and leads to a global climate departure mean of 2047 (+/- 14 years s.d.) while - The more aggressive RCP45 scenario (which we are currently far from) leads to a global climate departure mean of 2069 (+/- 18 years s.d.) - So regardless of how aggressive we mitigate, we cannot avoid climate departure. - What consequences will this have on economies around the world? How will we adapt? - The world is not prepared for the vast ecosystem changes, which will reshape our entire economy all around the globe.

Hitzewellen im Mittelmeer mit Wassertemperaturen von über 30° haben dazu geführt, dass die Muscheln einer der bekanntesten Arten an einigen Küsten fast vollständig gestorben sind. Betroffen sind sowohl wild wachsende wie kultivierte Exemplare und damit auch eine wichtige Nahrungsquelle und Erwerbsquelle für die Fischerei. Massensterben aufgrund von thermischen Anomalien sind inzwischen auch bei 50 anderen Arten beschrieben worden. https://www.greenandblue.it/2024/09/17/news/moria_di_mitili_nell_adriatico_a_causa_del_caldo-423504229/

question - earth system boundaries - biodiversity - how do we reconcile these boundaries with climate departure? - Does the term "functional integrity" imply autonomy from climate feedbacks? Obviously, climate feedback plays a huge role in determining biodiversity health - In 2013, Mora et al. found that climate departure, the year in which a climate variable moves out of the historical bounds will occur everywhere on the planet, regardless of an aggressive RCP pathway being taken. In this study, climate departure was found to take place (relative to 2013) - 37.5 years in the future under RCP45, or - 22.5 years in the future under RCP85 - It would seem that the biodiversity boundaries should take into consideration climate departure as species extinction and ecological system disruption is projected to occur, regardless of whether RCP45 or RCP85 is adopted. - Currently, we are still on a Business-As-Usual trajectory, but since 2013, scientific research has moved the danger threshold even lower so climate departure dates are likely even sooner than those calculated in the 2013 Mora paper

Die französische Regierung hat in einer politisch unstabilen Situation viele klimapolitisch relevante Projekte nicht weiterentwickelt. Dazu gehören das Budget für die ökologische Transformation und die mehrjährige Energie- und Klimaplanung. Der Ausbau der Nuklearindustrie wurde von Präsident Macron im Alleingang vorangetrieben. Der neue Premierminister Barnier gilt als fachlich kompetent, hat sich aber über Jahre nicht zu diesen Themen geäußert. https://www.liberation.fr/politique/michel-barnier-premier-ministre-energie-adaptation-biodiversite-les-chantiers-environnementaux-urgents-qui-lattendent-20240906_FLLWY3AHGBAZPFYYJBMFEK25YI/?redirected=1

Eine neue französische Studie beschäftigt sich mit einer Folge des dramatischen Rückgangs der Insekt. Mangels bestäubender Insekten befruchten sich Pflanzen selbst. Dadurch werden die nächsten Generationen kleiner und liefern weniger Nektar. Es kommt zu einem Rückkopplungseffekt, weil so noch weniger Insekten überleben. In dem Interview mit der liberation erklärt der Biologe diesen Effekt als Beispiel für eine unkontrollierbare und nicht mehr zurücknehmbare, von Menschen ausgelöste Entwicklung. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/biodiversite/pollinisation-et-disparition-des-insectes-nous-sommes-dans-une-spirale-incontrolable-20231221_CV6BZLN2WJANLN2A2EFUGCJLZI/

A widely publicized study published last year by researchers at the University of Northern Arizona analyzed satellite images taken between 1985 and 2019. They show that large parts of the boreal forest have “browned” (i.e., died) in the south and greened with trees and shrubs in the north. If this shift, long hypothesized as a future outcome of warming, is already underway, the effects will be profound, transforming natural habitats, animal migration and human settlements.

Der Verlust des antarktischen Meereises, der sich in diesem Jahr beschleunigt hat, könnte schon in den folgenden Jahrzehnten zum Untergang der Kaiserpinguine führen. Die Biologin Barbara Wienecke, die diese Pinguine schon lange erforscht, schreibt im Guardian über den drohende Ende einer ikonischen Art.

Die globale Erhitzung droht die Anzahl der Organismen in den tiefsten noch vom Licht erreichten Zonen (200-1000m) in diesem Jahrhundert um bis zu 40% zu reduzieren. Bei höheren Temperaturen zerfallen Mikroorganismen schneller, so dass weniger Nahrung zur Verfügung steht. Diese Zone ist eine wichtige CO2-Senke. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-65460128

- in order to inspire actions to address the extinction crisis that we are currently facing.
- I do this by addressing the following three points:
- Zen and science are both based upon empirical observations of the world.
- Zen and science both tell us that there is no separation between humans and the world around us.
- Ecology and evolution provide the scientific background needed to address the biodiversity crisis;
- Zen provides the deeper knowing that will motivate our action to address this problem

Due to climate change, we have become accustomed to the concept of reducing our ecological footprint and the goal of net zero emissions. However, the biodiversity crisis is not yet a familiar term for many, although it is acutely endangered. With this, the long-term investment opportunities as well because it is the foundation of many aspects of our lives. Unfortunately, this is still not recognized by the short-sighted and greedy actions of mankind. But protecting and restoring biodiversity creates opportunities!

NY and NJ share the same bay, NJ will not join the Oyster program in fear people will eat them and get sick or die. Great post it actually cleaned up our waters where we now have all year visitors including whales, dolphins,tuna, seals all within sight of NYC.
Despite those findings, Morris is optimistic about nature-based living reefs, which, she says, offer a much better economic and environmental investment than artificial counterparts. “You build these hard seawalls to withstand certain storms, certain events, certain future conditions,” she says, “But once these conditions are reached, they are not adaptive. You have to either build another seawall, or build the seawall higher, or repair them if they’re damaged in a storm.”

The FAO’s Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 reports that since 1990, India’s naturally regenerating forests increased only marginally by 6,700 sq.km. while, over the same period, plantations increased by 75,500 sq.km. About 92% of India’s so-called ‘forest cover increase’ between 1990 and 2020 has thus been via plantations.

In ecology, edge effects are changes in population or community structures that occur at the boundary of two or more habitats.[1] Areas with small habitat fragments exhibit especially pronounced edge effects that may extend throughout the range. As the edge effects increase, the boundary habitat allows for greater biodiversity.
Edge Effects
It was in the Design Science Studio that I learned about edge effects.
Yesterday, I was thinking about how my life embodies the concept of edge effects. That same day, a book was delivered to our door, Design for the Real World by Victor Papanek.
Today, I was reading these words:
Design for the Real World
Design for Survival and Survival through Design: A Summation
Integrated, comprehensive, anticipatory design is the act of planning and shaping carried on across the various disciplines, an act continuously carried on at interfaces between them.
Victor Papanek goes on to say:
It is at the border of different techniques or disciplines that most new discoveries are made and most action is inaugurated. It is when two differing areas of knowledge are brought into contact with one another that… a new science may come into being.
(Page 323)
Exiles and Emigrés
The Bauhaus spread its ideas because it existed at the boundaries, the avant-garde, the edges of what was thought to be possible, especially as a socialist utopian idea found its way to a capitalist industrial-military complex, where the concept of modernism was co-opted and colonized by globalizing economic forces beyond the control of the individual. Design was the virus that propagated around the world through the vehicle of corporate globalization.
That same design ethic is infecting corporations with a conscience, with empathy, with a process that begins with listening to people. Design is the virus that can spread the values of unconditional love throughout the body of neoliberal capitalism.

New research shows that lake "stratification periods" – a seasonal separation of water into layers – will last longer in a warmer climate. These longer periods of stratification could have "far-reaching implications" for lake ecosystems, the paper says, and can drive toxic algal blooms, fish die-offs and increased methane emissions.
Eine neue Studie ergibt, dass die globale Erhitzung die Ökosysteme von Seen weltweit schädigt. Die Periode, in der sich das Wasser in Schichten teilt, dauert länger. Dramatische Veränderungen mit Schäden für die Biodiversität lassen sich z.B. in den großen amerikanischen Seen beobachten.

The ocean contains unique biodiversity, provides valuable food resources and is a major sink for anthropogenic carbon. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an effective tool for restoring ocean biodiversity and ecosystem services1,2, but at present only 2.7% of the ocean is highly protected3. This low level of ocean protection is due largely to conflicts with fisheries and other extractive uses.

The rate at which the world’s forests are being destroyed increased sharply last year, with at least 42,000 sq km of tree cover lost in key tropical regions.According to data from the University of Maryland and the online monitoring platform Global Forest Watch, the loss was well above the average for the last 20 years, with 2020 the third worst year for forest destruction since 2002 when comparable monitoring began.

Examining the 60 specific elements of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, seven have been achieved and 38 show progress. Thirteen elements show no progress or indicate a move away from the target, and for two elements the level of progress is unknown. The table on the following pages provides an overview of the progress made towards each of the 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets.

The Joint Nature Conservation Committee put it unequivocally:“The EU plays a crucial role in developing policy and legislation to protect the environment and meet its objective for sustainable development. The EU has specific targets for biodiversity conservation with legislative protection for key habitats and species”.The committee makes two other points:“The EU and global biodiversity targets are partly delivered through a range of legislative measures, which place obligations on Member States to protect biodiversity and the natural environment. The EU and Member States have shared legal competence—shared responsibility—in forming and implementing legislation for the environment”.
