As global temperatures continue to rise, scientists are exploring innovative solutions beyond merely reducing emissions. From direct air carbon capture to geoengineering our atmosphere to physically block sunlight, and planting over a trillion trees, these options may seem futuristic or challenging to implement. However, as traditional methods to combat climate change reach their limits, it's crucial to ask: Can these new, sometimes controversial, solutions make a real impact? And at what cost? 💚 🌎   #ClimateChange #Innovation #Sustainability #Geoengineering #CarbonCapture https://lnkd.in/gmTVd3EJ

As an environmental advocate, I have always been passionate about addressing issues that pose a threat to our planet and human lives. The transfer of harmful organisms in ships' ballast water is one such issue that deserves our immediate attention. I recently came across the 'Invaders from the Sea' video, a BBC Worldwide-IMO Production that sheds light on this pressing issue. The film presents a unique perspective on the transfer of these harmful organisms through ballast water, a phenomenon that is adversely affecting our coasts and impacting the lives of millions around the world. I strongly urge everyone to watch this insightful film and educate themselves about the importance of addressing this issue at https://lnkd.in/eJXZvTmY. Together, we can work towards preserving our planet and ensuring a sustainable future. #environmentalawareness #ballastwater #sustainability #globalaction

Okay, I found one more good news today - there are brilliant people out there working to change our trajectory and not losing hope nor humor. And: I'm going to appear in a film's credits! #climatehope #climateaction saves our #health and long-term #safety and societal and personal #wellbeing, which turns on acting for the common good instead of hunkering down in hate and resentment. #climatesolutions are solutions for the #economy and for #cooperation.

This is a documentary that should be watched by anyone and company that takes the climate crisis seriously. What are we really doing to stop global warming? Look into this and realise that most of this is to make money and fool us. The climate crisis is real and needs to be addressed with the reduction of global warming being the aim and not making money. https://lnkd.in/e-eJUxgg

ARE THE CLIMATE UPHEAVEL and ITS CONSEQUENCES ALREADY SETTLED IN? Maybe but we still have a brief period of hope depending on how fast and adamant we act. But most certainly there will NOT be a second chanc Right now or never potentially possoble https://lnkd.in/dGX3GNuW

From the front line of climate change in Iraq, BBC News Arabic unmasks an invisible killer: air pollution, investigating a hidden epidemic of cancer and the deadly impact of oil production on children and the planet. Twenty years on from the Iraq war, western oil giants including BP now play a major role in the country’s oil industry, and are making bumper profits. This documentary reveals how the toxic practices they are using to extract oil may be putting people’s lives at risk. This RTS award winning investigation takes you inside the communities living in some of the world’s most polluted oil fields, where cancer is so common “it’s like the flu”. In BP’s Rumaila oil field - the second largest in the world - we meet 19 year old Ali and follow his extraordinary battle, from surviving leukaemia to challenging the oil companies. Ali records video diaries showing the black clouds of smoke that billow out 24/7 from the gas flares on his doorstep. His only wish is for the flaring to stop “so that the children can live in peace.” Gas flaring is the wasteful practice of burning off excess gas during oil production. The process emits benzene which heightens the risk of cancer, particularly childhood leukaemia. The BBC found gas flaring as close as 250m from people’s doorsteps, breaking Iraqi law which says it should be at least 10km away. Ali tells us that many children in his community have become sick with leukaemia. Working with a local environmental scientist, the BBC team carries out the first ever scientific testing of pollution levels in communities near the oil fields. The results reveal dangerously high levels of carcinogenic chemicals, including in urine samples of children. BP posted record profits last year, amid calls for an extension of a windfall tax to combat the cost of living crisis. They also had their highest ever profits from Rumaila. The BBC’s requests to access Rumaila oil field were turned down, and the area is heavily guarded by checkpoints, so the team's only option was filming undercover. Using satellite data, this documentary uncovers how BP and other oil giants are hiding millions of tonnes of flaring emissions globally, contributing to climate change. The investigation finds that Rumaila oil field has the worst gas flaring in the world, and if included in BP's annual reports, would double their global flaring emissions. The companies said their reporting method was standard industry practice. BP told the BBC that immediately after first being contacted, they started working with their Rumaila partners to look at the issues raised and, where necessary, how to address them. • How hidden oil Thanks for watching and subscribing! #BBCWorldService #WorldService #pollution

"Water from the Air: Humanity's Path to Survival" is a compelling documentary that unveils innovative solutions to the global water crisis and highlights the pivotal role of Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG) in combating climate change. Premiered on the Creative Society Format platform, this film delves into the technical capabilities and environmental impacts of AWGs, offering a hopeful perspective on securing clean drinking water for billions globally, amidst escalating climate threats. This documentary serves as a critical call to action, urging global cooperation to harness technology for sustainable development. #Sustainability #ClimateChange #Innovation #GlobalCrisis #CreativeSociety #WaterConservation #RenewableEnergy #EcoFriendly #WaterInnovation #airwatergenerator #watercrisis #globalwarming #AtmosphericWaterGenerator #NikolaTesla https://lnkd.in/gcgPeUDS

Aqui comparto un muy recomendado documental sobre el carbono y el clima | A highly recommended documentary on carbon and climate.

After watching the US Republican Primary debate last night, and hearing Vivek Ramaswamy say “the climate change agenda is a hoax”, as well as it being a topic more or less passed over, I was irate. Yes, it’s a US debate but climate change is an international issue of singular and urgent importance. A few years ago, I posted a video of Julia Roberts voicing Mother Earth for Conservation International, part of a whole series, that was produced 9 years ago. The whole series of videos are very well done. Visiting their site this morning, I found this 4 minute video, which renews punching home the importance of addressing climate change. As for the Republicans, good luck winning an election against anyone by dismissing climate change. The Pew Research Center reports that “Americans offer broad support for international engagement on climate change: 74% say they support U.S. participation in international efforts to reduce the effects of climate change.” Nationally the importance of climate change seems to divide along partisan lines in older generations but is critically important to the younger generation, a younger generation that now votes and unifies around issues, not politics. #climatechange #conservation #protectourplanet #climatecrisis
