"We are Reforesting the Ocean - here's how" [8:23 min]

Quote by ME:
"May 8, 2022
We thought it was about time to scale up our marine rewilding efforts which is why we have decided to build our very own kelp factory! Together with Seaforester and IPL we are embarking on a journey to build a kelp nursery and test an innovative restoration technique at scale."

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Since 2020 we have been working with SeaForester to restore kelp forests in Portugal. These underwater forests are astonishing havens for marine life which also improve water quality and sequester carbon. Unfortunately, large areas of kelp have disappeared from the coast of Portugal but reverting this trend has been difficult. One of the challenges is that restoration efforts tend to require extensive diving which quickly becomes costly and time-consuming. A new technique called “green gravel” has been developed to address this challenge and make large scale marine reforestation possible. It involves growing kelp attached to pebbles in a lab before deploying them at suitable locations in the ocean. For this project, we are building a kelp nursery that will allow us to test this method on a larger scale.

This is not about the 'what aboutisms' that deniers like to bring up when they don't want to listen to the total tree in their own eye. China has not been poluting the planet since the industrial [capitalist] revolution and indeed it's playing catch up for the last 40 years.
But at least it takes care of going the right way, doing it durable for as much as able. And, much sooner as promised, it is beginning to look hopeful...

#Switzerland #Blatten #GlacierCollapse

It strange how not one of the media reports on this catastrophy named the #ClimateEmergency as an agrivating cause.
'Cause I'm convinced that this calamity is caused by higher temperatures combined with periods of drought. Therefore it is wrong to classify this as an exclusively natural disaster when it is for a big part man-made.
And this time it was ice [and debris] coming up soon is the whole mountain collapsing into the valley..

"May 29, 2025
A huge section of a glacier in the Swiss Alps has broken off, causing a deluge of ice, mud and rock to bury most of a village evacuated earlier this month due to the risk of a rockslide.
Swiss village almost entirely destroyed after collapse of glacier buries it in mud.
One person missing and Blatten devastated after huge cloud of ice and rubble inundates evacuated town."

Some scepticals and deniers have a difficulty with large and far away numbers. They can't [won't] grasp the concept of changes in the life time of their grandchildren.
That's not only unforgivable but when it's on purpose it's outright criminal !
Only because they won't change their habits now.

Quote by DrG:
"May 27, 2025
Ice loss from the polar ice sheets will lock us in to multi-metres of sea level rise over the (very) long term. Even today's warming of 1.3 C will result in coastline-altering sea level rise. But how fast seas rise is critically important when it comes to adaptation - and by now it's pretty much the only thing we can control."

This post was originally REMOVED by the moderators of climatejustice.social. [and they were right ]
And I did make a near fatal mistake: the so called ‘News Network’ is NOT a national Network but a private right wing propaganda channel.
I can’t belief I fell for it !! The channel is well known to me but in my research I got side tracked to an Australian channel. Bad work !! Moreover: Bad deligence !! And I apologize.
I still want this toot to go out because of the calm demeanor of Dr Kush Naker,
and forgive me for the unjustified outrage but I maintain to be right on THAT account.

I don't know what it is with a private right wing propaganda channel. and 'Just Stop Oil'. The Tv reacts as if stung by a hornet; as a bull on on a red rag.
Watch, or rather listen, to the questions this reporter poses. It's a disgrace, the prejudiced opinions beforhand. The interviewee remains calm and answers the 'question' professionally.

We need a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
Carry on emitting today and hope at some future date huge carbon sucking technology will solve the problem. Yet we know carbon is killing today, and global emissions are still rising.
Oil is more valuable than our culture, our heritage, our bodies. More valuable than the beautiful web of life on earth, more valuable than home."

A typical [US] American reaction to a vegeburger: declaring vegetarians insane and being very sure of themselves.
But: the vegeburger is not meant for vegetarians. We know better.
It's made for the carnivores when the cost of meat for the planet becomes unbearable.

#AnimalAgriculture and the decline of #Biodiversity is one of the main factors of why OUR planet becomes unlivable

"The Genius Behind The Plant-Based Impossible Burger | WILD HOPE" [39:12 min]
by Nature on PBS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkZe6HeIbkE

Quote by NoPBS:
"Nov 18, 2024
It was a late-career epiphany that led “wacky genius” Pat Brown to abandon his academic career and commit himself to fighting global warming and biodiversity collapse. He did it, against all odds, by developing a surprising product: the revolutionary and delicious plant-based Impossible Burger.
Pat Brown is a preeminent biochemist and Stanford professor with a most impressive resume. He pioneered research into the AIDS virus, invented DNA imaging tools, and helped revolutionize open access to scientific research. Then, well into his successful career, he took a sabbatical “to figure out what was the most important thing I could do to make the best possible world?”
After coming to the conclusion that the impact of animal agriculture on climate change and biodiversity loss was unacceptable, Pat decided to do something about it. He ditched his lab and began working on the creation of the Impossible Burger: a plant-based meat alternative that uses 96% less land, 87% less fresh water, and generates 89% less greenhouse gas emissions than traditional beef burgers. Through groundbreaking science and unwavering commitment, Pat's work has not only transformed the culinary landscape, it is providing real hope for a more sustainable and ethical food system.
Now, having proven that plant-based meat can compete with animal products on the open market, Pat is jumping ahead to the next big question: What’s the best way to use the land that can be freed up from raising cows and other livestock? On a thousand acres in Arkansas owned by the Impossible Foundation, Pat and fellow scientist, Michael Eisen are boots-deep into a real-world case study on turning carbon-emitting cattle ranches into carbon-capturing forests that also promote biodiversity. They call it the Carbon Ranch."

In the Netherlands the grandparents have united 'for the climate', as in some other countries.
For #ClimateAction and education.
Every few weeks they have a free webinar to get a better understanding of the problem[s] and about possible solutions. A speaker is invited to talk [most of the time with a PowerPoint] and to answer questions.
I don't think I ever missed one [being quite of age but without offspring ].

This time by Hanneke van Ormondt of Stichting Urgenda [Urgenda Foundation].
She talks about the '7 points plan for food and agriculture' Not about gardening. She gives quite a comprehensive talk about what to change in 'our' behavior and proposes changes for professional farmers.

It is a long video but worth it and in a great pace.

*This video is already available to our monthly donors at warriors.seashepherdglobal.org*
We returned to #Antarctica for the third time, not because we wanted to, but because we had to.
This year, we went later in the season, through rougher weather and harsher conditions, because the world needs to see what’s happening when the industry thinks no one is watching.
With a scientist onboard, we documented what few have seen: more wildlife than ever before, and trawlers operating in dangerously close proximity. A few weeks ago, that closeness turned fatal.
This final campaign video reveals what we’ve witnessed, what we’ve uncovered, and what must change to protect one of the last truly wild places on Earth.
Watch. Share. Act. Visit www.savekrill.com to help stop the plunder and protect Antarctica before it’s too late."

Quote by MEFN:
"May 22, 2025
In today's vlog, Teresa, Francisco and Flora bring you updates from our Wilder Mira hub; from rewilding Eucalyptus plantations and our native tree nursery to our plans to start controlling invasive species that threaten the native riverine species of the Mira."
To support our work you can become a member here: -> mossy.earth <-

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Around 400,000 hectares of non-native eucalyptus tree plantations are estimated to be abandoned in Portugal and are no longer providing a source of income to landowners. This represents a huge untapped potential for ecological restoration of large areas of forest, particularly in Portugal’s southwest, which is home to a special diversity of oaks (Quercus spp.) and many other endemic flora & fauna species currently under threat.
Starting in the Mira River valley, we're aiming to develop low impact and cost-efficient techniques to remove eucalyptus from abandoned plantations and boost natural regeneration to take its place, advancing succession into mature oak woodlands.
