Water From Air: The Path to Saving Humanity | Popular Science Film https://lnkd.in/edd5qV_9 Get ready for an eye-opening documentary that explores a groundbreaking technology with the potential to transform our world. This film is a must-see for everyone curious about the future of our planet, especially those seeking answers to pressing questions like: Why are extreme floods and droughts becoming more common? How severe is the global water crisis? What can we expect from climate change in the coming years? Why are our oceans warming at an alarming rate? Join leading inventors as they unveil a revolutionary technology that extracts water directly from the air. This innovation could provide unlimited clean drinking water for all while mitigating the impacts of climate change and natural disasters. Did you know that this technology could address 70% of the factors driving climate change? It's a major step towards achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This documentary not only showcases this groundbreaking solution but also presents a roadmap for its implementation. Witness a global initiative that could be a game-changer in our fight to save the planet.

Feeling embarrassed, deceived, and thoroughly disgusted! "Planet of the Humans is a documentary that dares to say what no one else will — that we are losing the battle to stop climate change on planet Earth because we are following leaders who have taken us down the wrong road — selling out the Green Movement to wealthy interests and corporate America. This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a human-caused extinction event, the environmental movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and band-aids. It's too little, too late. Removed from the debate is the only thing that MIGHT save us: getting a grip on our out-of-control human presence and consumption. Why is this not THE issue? Because that would be bad for profits, and bad for business. Have we environmentalists fallen for illusions, “green” illusions, that are anything but green, because we’re scared that this is the end—and we’ve pinned all our hopes on biomass, wind turbines, and electric cars?"

Really good, but long, documentary on climate change by PBS. Downside as usual is that there is no mention of global desertification or the fact that even if we stop all fossil fuel use tomorrow, the change will continue because it is being fueled by global biodiversity loss, desertification and mega-fires now feeding on each other. And again as usual including every climate conference not a word about addressing the cause of biodiversity loss, desertification or climate change - so no hope of success. They acknowledge the cause is how such resources are managed and then ignore management at such scale tragically. https://lnkd.in/eggEqaG7

Living in The Time of Dying is an unflinching look at what it means to be living in the midst of climate catastrophe and finding purpose and meaning within it. Recognising the magnitude of the climate crisis we are facing, independent filmmaker Michael Shaw, sells his house to travel around the world looking for answers. Pretty soon we begin to see how deep the predicament goes along with the systems and ways of thinking that brought us here. Featured in this documentary are Professor of Sustainability and founder of the Deep Adaptation movement Jem Bendell, award winning journalist and author of "The End of Ice" , Dahr Jamail, Dharma teacher and author of Facing Extinction Catherine Ingram and Stan Rushworth, a Native American Elder, teacher and author who brings an especially enlightening viewpoint to these questions. While it becomes clear that catastrophic climate change is now inevitable it also opens up a whole new set of questions: How exactly did we arrive at this point? What new choices can we make now re how to live our lives and what actions make sense at this time. The people interviewed in the documentary, all highly regarded and well known spokespeople on the issue, argue it's too late to stop what is coming but in no way is it too late to regain a renewed, life giving relationship with our selves and our world. This film is available free of charge or by donation https://lnkd.in/eQHH-tfm... https://lnkd.in/eDUamgwP

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

The effects of climate change were already being felt as far back as the 1960s, but scientists who linked fossil fuels with climate change were labelled “prophets of doom”. This episode traces the trajectory of climate change over the past 60 years and examines how and why – despite the stark warnings – we failed to halt the climate catastrophe we are currently experiencing, and why it appears politics and science are at odds when it comes to this issue.

In this fascinating discussion from BBC #radio4 aired this morning, guests touch on the intelligence and diversity of life underwater; 'falling in love with the #Ocean'; the role #technology is playing in the game of evolution; ways we can address the issue of #plasticpollution in our #seas - an activity that is undeniably attributable to humankind, that is indisputably causing #climatecrisis. We hear from the novelist Richard Powers about his book #Playground, from #scubadiving philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith, and from Heather Koldewey, who specifically refers to the issue of clearing up discarded #plastic fishing nets, and how we can make 'valuable products' from ocean-borne plastics. This latter discussion in particular aligns with Hydrogen Utopia International PLC's work through its subsidiary Alister Future Technologies. #AFT, based in #Ireland, has been awarded a grant by #EU Interreg Atlantic Area as part of the PLAST4H2 initiative to turn ocean-borne #plastics into the #zeroemission #fuel #hydrogen.

🍿 Grab the popcorn because today is the Monday Movie! 🍿   🎥 Today’s tip is 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 (2004), directed by Roland Emmerich and based on the 1999 book “The Coming Global Superstorm” by Art Bell and Whitley Strieber. The film depicts the disastrous consequences of a disrupted North Atlantic Ocean circulation, wherein a sequence of severe weather events unfolds, triggering climate change and ultimately resulting in a new ice age. 💡 Curiosity: The film received criticism from the scientific community for being inaccurate. Viewers may see the film as a joke, especially because of its over-the-top effects. Also, an ice age like the one shown in the scenes is unlikely to occur, said the scientist Daniel P. Schrag. Still, it uses creative liberties and exaggerates the speed and intensity of climate change effects for dramatic purposes. More importantly, it draws attention to the climate crisis and sparks discussions about the need for environmental awareness and action. #csls #mondaymovie #myklu #climatechange #disaster #sustainability Source: https://lnkd.in/g4D24dzb

The rise in Anthropocene has seen human beings alienate themselves from nature placing themselves at the top of the hierarchy, ethically superior imposing instumental value to other species. Climate change, Pollution, loss of diversity are some of the major effects we are seeing of this humanity hubris. There is however light at the end of the tunnel, with change in attitude and values and the ideologies that people have with nature. #climatechange.

The greater the #power, the greater the #reaponsibility? Can we seriously expect in a #capitalistic, #profit-driven system that #corporations will #save our #forests, our #nature, our #biodiversity, basically us? "We only have one #planet, but we're acting as if we had 3 more in reserve." Some speculate about colonizing #Mars, but seriously speaking, has anyone ever lived there #happilyeverafter? Or is this #PlanetB nothing else than building #castles on sand? An untested #emergency solution which may create more problems than it solves? "We are on a #highway to #climate #hell with our foot still on the accelerator. We're in the #fight of our lives, and we're losing." Will the #EUDeforestationRegulation be able to put an end to this madness? What do you think? https://lnkd.in/dWK33juT
