Climate change: Scientists test radical ways to fix Earth's climate

It will investigate radical approaches such as refreezing the Earth's poles and removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The centre is being created because of fears that current approaches will not on their own stop dangerous and irreversible damage to the planet. The initiative is the first of its kind in the world and could lead to dramatic reductions in carbon emissions. The initiative is co-ordinated by the government's former chief scientific adviser, Prof Sir David King. "What we do over the next 10 years will determine the future of humanity for the next 10,000 years.

Some of the approaches described by Sir David are often known collectively as geoengineering.

La producción tecnológica aumenta a un ritmo vertiginoso mientras la economía circular aún está lejos de instalarse en nuestro imaginario social. El usar y tirar se ha arraigado tanto en nuestro modo de vida, que dar marcha atrás, hasta que las consecuencias de su impacto se instalen definitivamente en nuestras conciencias, se ha convertido en una ardua tarea que se dilatará, probablemente demasiado, en el tiempo. Tan solo el pasado año generamos 48’5 millones de toneladas de residuos de aparatos electrónicos y eléctricos (RAEE) a nivel mundial, según la ONU. Tan solo un 20% fue reciclado. Sin ir más lejos, cada año se venden 1.500 millones de teléfonos inteligentes, según los últimos datos del Foro Monetario Internacional. Reutilizar un ordenador es 20 veces más eficiente.

Góðu umhverfisfréttir ársins

Í árlegri stöðuskýrslu Sameinuðu þjóðanna um loftslagsmál í heiminum, sem er nýkomin út, kemur fram að ríki heims hafa aldrei átt jafn langt í land með að uppfylla markmið sín í loftslagsmálum. Í skýrslunni kemur fram að ríki heims þurfi að spýta hressilega í lófana og minnka kolefnislosun sína fimmfalt meira en miðað er við í núverandi áætlunum, til að hægt verði að halda hækkun meðalhitastigs á jörðinni innan við 1,5 gráður. Á Íslandi hefur losun gróðurhúsalofttegunda meira að segja aukist, þvert á fögur markmið okkar.

Útlitið er því miður kolsvart fyrir lífið á jörðinni og fyrir okkur sjálf ef við höldum áfram þessu aðgerðarleysi og blindri trú á að einhver annar reddi þessu.
