Because some warnings can’t wait. We must act before it’s too late. Last week, everything changed. What began as a routine video project for Just Have A Think quickly turned into something far more urgent — a clarion call echoing the accelerating collapse of our natural world. In the video titled “This is not the... Continue Reading →
Posted by 'Just Have a Think' on February 23rd, 2025 https://youtu.be/LrS4PKDln0E?si=EfvzOQoXeHKtUk1K The Arctic region has been a massive store of carbon for thousands of years. Now it's warming between 3 and 7 times faster than the global average and that carbon is escaping into our atmosphere. The latest research suggests that more than a third... Continue Reading →
Our own summary... The Accelerating Meltdown: Arctic Sea Ice Disappearing Faster Than Predicted Climate scientists are sounding the alarm as new research indicates that Arctic sea ice is melting at a much faster rate than previously anticipated. Contrary to earlier projections, we may experience regular ice-free summers in the Arctic within the next couple of... Continue Reading →
Solar photovoltaic panels provide electricity for homes, businesses and utility scale grid providers. Ironically though, the hotter they get in direct sunshine, the less effective they are at producing power. So, what if we could harvest the heat, remove it from the panel, and do something useful with it? 'Killing two birds with one stone',... Continue Reading →
Carbon Dioxide Removal is the latest buzz phrase in the climate world. The IPCC tell us it will be essential to meet the goals of the Paris Accord. But it's easier said than done! Now a new study proposes copying the way nature creates seashells, so that we can durably store billions of tonnes of... Continue Reading →
The latest IPCC report suggests we can survive the 21st century by making unprecedented and totally radical changes in the next eight years. But even then we'll still need to suck billions of tons of CO2 back out of our atmosphere for decades. The IPCC reckon it can be done. But are they deluding themselves... Continue Reading →
Decarbonisation is the only way out of our climate emergency. The quicker we do it the less damage we will incur. But just about every mainstream agency and organisation around the world is advising policymakers not to move too quickly away from fossil fuels for fear of disrupting economies and societies. The real world statistics... Continue Reading →
We're used to blaming the fossil fuel industry for the problems of climate change, but focussing on big Agribusinesses has proven a much more contentious issue. Now three study papers have been published that look at different activities of industrial meat and dairy producers, with some fascinating conclusions and proposals. Source...
Hemp has been celebrated and vilified in equal measure over the centuries. It has fantastic properties for textiles and ropes, but it comes from the cannabis plant, so it arouses deep suspicion among some policymakers. What is unarguable though, is that it is an extremely fast growing plant that stores a large amount of carbon.... Continue Reading →
Climate and ecology are inextricably linked. Both are now in great peril. If we do not tackle those challenges with co-ordinated efforts then we stand far less chance of solving either of them. This holistic approach forms the basis of the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill, recently tabled in the UK Parliament by the MP... Continue Reading →
Solar Power is set to be the dominant transformative form of power on the mighty subcontinent of India as it moves away from its dependence on coal and towards a more sustainable future. But land is at a heavy premium there, so the engineers put their thinking caps on and came up with a solution... Continue Reading →
