Central under water in 80 years? Hong Kong’s coming climate
crisis
--- Quote ---
> Over the past 40 years, typhoons in Asia have become stronger
and more destructive because of rising ocean temperatures,
according to climate scientists. And based on most projections,
severe storms are likely to become stronger and more frequent.
Climatologists predict that by 2050, Hong Kong will be hit with
at least one super typhoon, on average, every single year. Is
the city of 7.69 million people doing enough to prepare for the
coming climate crisis? To find out, the SCMP’s Alkira Reinfrank
spoke with climate experts and people who had their lives turned
upside down by the last super typhoon, Mangkhut.

France hit by drought: Farmers bear the brunt • FRANCE 24
English
--- Quote ---
> In this edition, we're looking at one of the key consequences
of climate change: drought. From parched fields, to burning
forests, to houses cracking as the ground beneath them dries up,
droughts are becoming more frequent in France and around the
world. As scientists look for solutions, many are calling for
changes to our agricultural model and the way we consume, in the
hope of conserving Earth's most precious resource: water.

Tourism and climate change - How will we travel in the future? |
DW Documentary
--- Quote ---
> Exotic destinations, or staycations? As we make choices like
these, we ask ourselves: Will we ever be able to fly without
feeling guilty again? This film examines the tourism business
today, and asks how the industry envisages the future.
>
> The pandemic brought the tourist industry to a standstill. But
it also highlighted something we have long suspected: Namely,
too much travel is bad for the environment. Not only that, but
tourism transforms entire regions - not always for the better.
It profoundly impacts communities and often brings benefits for
only a very few.
> But our wanderlust remains. So, do travelers have to decide
between the two extremes: exotic destinations (and high carbon
footprints) or holidays at home? Given the climate emergency,
can we fly without feeling guilty? How environmentally damaging
are cruises? And what does it mean to have a sustainable
holiday? This documentary examines an industry that had gotten
ahead of itself, even before it was hit by the pandemic. We hear
from mayors, tourism managers, a climate expert, an internet
activist and a sociologist.
>
> The film travels to the European tourist hotspots of
Barcelona, Venice and Dubrovnik. The tiny island of Palau in the
Pacific Ocean demonstrates how sustainable travel can be
sensibly organized, and a Parisian start-up develops a concept
for virtual travel experiences.

somehow I should feel bad for finally affording a once in 5 year
trip on vacation with an airplane. Marvelous. I love this logic.

> Stop blaming flights, main source of greenhouse gases in
transportation sector is coming from personal vehicles, like
your everyday car. More than 40% of co2 in transportation coming
from cars and less that 10% from aviation. People really need
to drastically restrict their car dependency.
