Climate Change has devastating consequences – and also increases the risk of displacement. In her new article on , Fumie Nakamura analyzes how cities are not only of migration, but also crucial actors in adressing it. blog.prif.org/2025/04/08/pragm

PRIF BLOG · Pragmatic Solutions to an Abstract Problem? How Cities are Addressing Climate Migration - PRIF BLOGIt has been about three months since the catastrophic wildfires broke out on January 7, 2025, devastating the US city of Los Angeles. The fires destroyed thousands of homes and displaced their residents. These wildfires also highlighted the many facets of climate migration: the urgency of the climate crisis, manifold reasons why people move, and the crucial role of cities, not just as sites of climate impacts but also as actors in addressing climate migration. Amid a rather abstract discussion about climate migrants, cities offer the chance to address the needs of people on the move because of the climate crisis more substantially and practically.

The graph shown below is a bit more technical than the one in my previous post. It illustrates three things:

🟥 First, that global warming in March 2025 was at 1.6°C above the pre-industrial average.

🟥 Second, that average warming over the past 22 months has been 1.61°C, well above the previously hoped for 1.5 limit.

🟥 And third, it also shows that the warming we are currently experiencing should not be as high as it is. Last year’s El Niño has ended, so we *should* have seen global temperatures drop significantly. But they have not.

That's because we are witnessing the total wreckage of Earth’s precious ecosystem. The world you and I were born into is gone forever.

Capitalist commerce and industry, if left unchecked, will ultimately destroy modern civilization, resulting in millions if not billions of human deaths, along with the extinction of countless plant and animal species.

That’s not doomism. It’s reality.

"#ForOurKids has a number of actions folks can take at the school board, provincial & federal levels of government. At school boards we ask them to establish policies to vet resources to exclude organizations that have a conflict of interest like #FossilFuel industry funding."

My idea about how #trade agreements should be done by the #EU: All products imported into the EU should adhere to current and *future* EU regulations. EU regulations should enforce #workerrights, #animalrights, #climate change protection, #environmental responsibility, #consumer rights and more.
All who adhere to good practices should be welcome to sell without tariffs.
Now let the EU work on improving regulations that support public values for the planet and all its inhabitants.

Why Greenpeace lost

From the start, the trial raised alarms. It took place in Morton County, North Dakota—a region with deep economic and cultural ties to the oil industry. The jury composition, was, one might say, a bit problematic.

Of the eleven jurors, seven had direct or indirect ties to the fossil fuel sector and some have admitted their inability to remain impartial. Still, the judge allowed them to serve.

Update. "US Weather Agency to Preserve Research Websites in Reversal"
bloomberg.com/news/articles/20

"The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency [#NOAA] will preserve access to websites tied to its research division, after previously moving to cancel a cloud web services contract that supports many of its pages. Bloomberg News had reported earlier that the service contract for NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research — known as NOAA Research — had been set to terminate this week, jeopardizing access to most of the office’s public-facing websites. But in an emailed statement Friday, NOAA said that the sites will be preserved."

Capitalism Eating Itself by Fueling Climate Mayhem, Warns Capitalist

If humanity stays on current course, warns top insurer, the "financial sector as we know it ceases to function. And with it, capitalism as we know it ceases to be viable."

According to GüntherThallinger, a former top executive at Germany's branch of the consulting giant #McKinsey & Company and currently a board member of #Allianz SE, one of the largest insurance companies in the world, the #ClimateCrisis is on a path to destroy #capitalism as we know it.

"We are fast approaching temperature levels—1.5C, 2C, 3C—where #insurers will no longer be able to offer coverage for many" of the risks associated with the #climate crisis, Thallinger writes in a recent post highlighted Thursday by #TheGuardian.

There is no way to "adapt" to temperatures beyond human tolerance. There is limited adaptation to #megafires, other than not building near #forests. Whole cities built on flood plains cannot simply pick up and move uphill. And as temperatures continue to rise, adaptation itself becomes economically unviable.

Once we reach 3°C of warming, the situation locks in. Atmospheric energy at this level will persist for 100+ years due to carbon cycle inertia and the absence of scalable industrial carbon removal technologies. There is no known pathway to return to pre-2°C conditions. (See: #IPCC AR6, 2023; NASA Earth Observatory: "The Long-Term Warming Commitment")

At that point, risk cannot be transferred (no insurance), risk cannot be absorbed (no public capacity), and risk cannot be adapted to (physical limits exceeded). That means no more mortgages, no new real estate development, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function. And with it, capitalism as we know it ceases to be viable.

“Klimaschutz trägt nach Ansicht von Experten des Instituts für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) in Kiel zur Sicherheit in Europa bei.

Der Analyse zufolge spült jeder Euro, den Europa weniger für Öl ausgibt, 13 Cent weniger in die russische Kriegskasse und nimmt so den Druck auf europäische Verteidigungsausgaben.”
