Our home is burning. Rapid climate change is destabilizing our
world. It seems our emissions will not fall quickly enough to
avoid runaway warming and we may soon hit tipping points that
will lead to the collapse of ecosystems and our civilization.
While scientists, activists and much of the younger generation
urge action, it appears most politicians are not committed to do
anything meaningful while the fossil fuel industry still works
actively against change. It seems humanity can’t overcome its
greed and obsession with short term profit and personal gain to
save itself.
And so for many the future looks grim and hopeless. Young people
feel particularly anxious and depressed. Instead of looking
ahead to a lifetime of opportunity they wonder if they will even
have a future or if they should bring kids into this world. It’s
an age of doom and hopelessness and giving up seems the only
sensible thing to do.
But that’s not true. You are not doomed. Humanity is not doomed.

SNIPPET:
Rainfall data associated with two of the three tropical cyclones
and two other tropical storms that tore across Madagascar,
Mozambique and Malawi over a period of six weeks showed that
climate change likely resulted in heavier precipitation,
according to the study. The disasters killed 230 people and
affected more than 1 million.
“The finding is consistent with scientific understanding of how
climate change, caused by human greenhouse gas emissions,
influences heavy rainfall,” WWA said in a statement on Monday.
“As the atmosphere becomes warmer it accumulates more water,
increasing the risk of downpours.”
The study adds to evidence that Africa, which accounts for the
smallest proportion of greenhouse gas emissions of any
continent, is suffering the most from global warming. Adverse
weather events, from cyclones to droughts, are hitting the
continent more frequently than in the past and shifts in rain
patterns are disrupting crucial agriculture.
“Again we are seeing how the people with the least
responsibility for climate change are bearing the brunt of the
impacts,” said Friederike Otto, a climate scientist at Imperial
College London who co-leads WWA.
Madagascar, Mozambique and Malawi are among the poorest
countries in the world and have little industry that generates
the carbon pollution causing global temperatures to rise.
Cyclones and storms have hit them anyway, in recent years
wrecking ports, flooding crops and leaving many homeless.

This GOES-18 image shows the contiguous United States observed
by each of the ABI’s 16 channels on May 5, 2022. This 16-panel
image shows the ABI’s two visible, four near-infrared and 10
infrared channels. The visible and near-IR bands are
gray-colored, while the infrared bands have the warmer
brightness temperatures mapped to warmer colors. The different
appearance of each band is due to how each band reflects or
absorbs radiation. Each spectral band was scanned at
approximately the same time, starting at 18 UTC.
On May 11, 2022, NOAA shared the first images of the Western
Hemisphere from its GOES-18 satellite. The satellite’s Advanced
Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument recently captured stunning
views of Earth.
GOES-18, NOAA’s newest geostationary satellite, launched on
March 1. The ABI views Earth with sixteen different channels,
each measuring energy at different wavelengths along the
electromagnetic spectrum to obtain information about Earth’s
atmosphere, land, and ocean.

GOES-18 orbits 22,236 miles above the equator at the same speed
the Earth rotates. This allows the satellite to constantly view
the same area of the planet and track weather conditions and
hazards as they happen.

The ABI provides high-resolution imagery and atmospheric
measurements for short-term forecasts and severe weather
warnings. ABI data is also used for detecting and monitoring
environmental hazards such as wildfires, dust storms, volcanic
eruptions, turbulence, and fog.
Data from multiple ABI channels can be combined to create
imagery that approximates what the human eye would see from
space — a result known as GeoColor. Combining data from
different channels in different ways also allows meteorologists
to highlight features of interest.

Recently, GOES-18 observed a number of weather events,
environmental phenomena, and striking views of our planet.
Storms across east Texas produced large hail, strong wind gusts,
and tornadoes. Farther west in New Mexico, strong winds resulted
in large areas of blowing dust and expansion of large wildfires.
Fog blanketed parts of Chile in South America, and clouds and
some thunderstorms formed along sea breezes in the Yucatan and
south Florida.
GOES-18 is currently undergoing post-launch testing, validation
and calibration of its instruments and systems to prepare it for
operations. The ABI cooling system is performing well, with no
signs of the issue that affects its sister satellite, GOES-17.
The ABI was redesigned for GOES-18 to reduce the likelihood of
future cooling system anomalies. The new design uses a simpler
hardware configuration that eliminates the filters that are
susceptible to debris.
GOES-18 will assist GOES-17 with GOES West operations in late
summer 2022 and again in early fall. NOAA plans for GOES-18 to
replace GOES-17 as GOES West in early 2023. Imagery from GOES-18
during the post-launch testing phase should be considered
preliminary and non-operational.

The fossil fuel industry tells us that natural gas is an
absolutely indispensable 'transition fuel' to help us get to net
zero emissions by 2050 and most governments in the West have,
until recently, pretty much toed that line. But the world
changed (again!) in 2022, and now a new report shows how much
more economically smart it would be to simply jump straight from
coal to renewables and cut out the 'natural gas middle-man'
completely.

Lost at 🌊 Sea[/center]
SNIPPET:
The number of shipping containers lost at sea has risen
significantly during the pandemic thanks to an “unusually high”
number of incidents particularly in the winter of 2020-21, the
World Shipping Council said in its lastest Containers Lost at
Sea report.
The winter of 2020-21 saw a huge spike in the number of
weather-related incidents, bringing average losses for the
two-year period (2020-2021) to 3,113 containers, compared to 779
in the previous period (2017-2019). The past two years caused
worrying break in the downward trend for losses, with the
average number of containers lost at sea per year since the
start of the survey increasing by 18% to 1,629 (from 2008-2021).
