Hello friends!
I am Eden, I am #NewHere, and I like making things grow.
My particular interests include #TreePruning (think: fruit orchards, but also espaliers and bonsai when I'm feeling particularly spicy), figuring out how to grow a #Garden on a plot that is almost 100 % sand and gets little to no rain in the summer months, #BuildingSoil, and collecting interesting vegetable varieties (bonus points if they are black/purple or variegated).
I am a mix of about 50 % idealism and 50 % cynicism. The world is going to shit, but… that doesn't mean we can't try to have nice things while we watch the world burn.

Taking strong action to tackle the climate crisis will increase countries’ economic growth, rather than damage their finances as critics of net zero policies have claimed, research from the world’s economic watchdog has found.

However, 2024 is projected to be the hottest year on record, with carbon dioxide emissions hitting another high.
Our carbon footprint needs urgent attention despite some progress in specific countries.

"The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council has shown unequivocally that, although climate action may indeed be very expensive and quite disruptive, it is far, far cheaper than climate inaction."

Mission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21]
[but don't hold me to it]
After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.
First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate
As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.
Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.
I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.
I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise. [*=my [Amstedam] time]
I might be interested in: #StopCopCity #ClimateFinance #Capitalism #Energy #USpolitics #Ukraine #Europe #Bernie #XR #OceanCleanup #NextBlue #InductionCooking #TaxTheRich #Africa #FemaleSoccer #Ajax #WomensRights #Indigenous #BigOil #Greta #CityDesign #VanessaNakate #2030 #Wildfires / #Floods #IPCC #AOC and more.
But after a year or two there appear to be 4 general topics: #Climate #Gaza / #IsraeliGenocide #USpolitics and #Ukraine
I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.
If any of my 'followers' wants to opt out... this is your chance, as always.
UL researchers to explore impact of eBike use among parents and older people
ISCycle is examining how eBikes can change transport behaviours to improve health and reduce emissions

If you take all the energy buried deep in the earth and under the oceans via photosynthesis and animal metabolism, energy from the sun that was packed away over a span of 500 million years as coal, oil, and gas... and then burn through that fuel in the brief period of about 200 years, what will happen?
Think about it.
We’re igniting all of the stored energy from half a billion years of life activity in only two centuries. That’s a ratio of 2.5 million to one — which means we are using this energy two and half million times *faster* than it was created and stored.
You know what that is? That’s a BOMB.

Extreme weather is our new reality. We must accept it and begin planning

I thank those walking the walk and reducing thier personal emissions by not flying, not driving, cutting back on meat consumption, not owing meat eating pets etc I laud those voting #Green and trying to move the Overton Window and influence the policy space. All 15 of you, I thank...

Very pleased with showing in my hometown of Milan the story of my 42.000km no-fly journey to research climate adaptation. Some people even shed some tears.Carlo Monguzzi & Simonetta D'Amico councillors of @ComuneMI & @MassimoCirri for collaborating in the event. The trailer of the film by P.

Climate scientists are trying to figure out why January 2025 was so much warmer than expected, and also why overall temperatures throughout 2023 and 2024 were higher than what had been predicted.
El Niño, the periodic cycle of ocean warming, can't account for all of it. So what's the reason?
Maybe it's because of sulfur pollutants being removed from the atmosphere, allowing more sunlight — and more heat — to reach Earth. Maybe it's because cloud formation has changed, become thinner, again allowing more sunlight through. Or maybe it's because the oceans, which for so long have absorbed so much excess heat, are finally giving it up.
They don't know for sure yet exactly what's happened. But it certainly appears that global warming has accelerated.
The graph below shows that temperatures are much higher now than in previous El Niño events, a big increase in only 8 years. That's an ominous sign.
It was pretty cold in January, right? At least it was for those of us in the United States and Canada.
But — the world overall was actually *hotter* than humans have ever seen in the month of January.
The latest data reveals that global temperatures are now at 1.75°C (
) above the pre-industrial average.

This is not "bad weather" (maltempo). In Messina, Sicily, the same amount of rain that would fall in a month has fallen in 4 hours.
When people say that transition to renewables is too costly,they don't include the costs of the damages caused by global warming. #ClimateEmergency
