Firstly, Happy Easter season to you! In a rare conjunction, three major holidays of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are occurring at the same time this year. So why don’t we emphasise the positive blessings of UNITY in a way which precludes just evangelism and one-way dialogue, but makes the most of both by way of […]
global warming
Elephant/ballet dancer?
Of course we already know who/what produces the world’s Greenhouse Gasses today… Here are the up-to-date Findhorn Ecovillage carbon (equivalent) offsetting figures since PETs carbon offsetting service started in December 2017. Nota Bene: during the last five “pandemic waves” (a) we have not been travelling so much, (b) Cluny has been closed, (c) being cloistered […]
Health&climate change
During this 4thWave vaccinated Vs. unvaccinated November, there’s “positive” news about the first official medical case of “Climate Change.” So what!? After NZ disallowed climate change as a valid asylum argument for a Karibati family, the fact that Shell (the soon to be “ex Royal Dutch” global energy conglomerate and Unilever’s new UK-based sibling) was […]
COP26 analysis
COP-in or out? Looking back on the Glasgow results gives an equivocal picture of where people are at and where we’re being directed (&by whom). As has been said so often, we’re really only in control of that which we can do to abolish er… neutralise er… mitigate the CO2e emissions we personally decide about… If […]
Sea levels rising
Using cutting-edge global elevation and population data, scientists have applied different scenarios of global warming to see where communities are most vulnerable within the next 200 to 2,000 years. Fifty major cities, mostly in Asia, would need to mount “globally unprecedented defenses” to survive, they found, while many small island nations face near-total loss of […]
Just do it, RIGHT?!
We’ve been talking about the New Normal since the first statistical decreases in this pandemic’s infections/hospitalisations/deaths. “Enough talking,” say I. Surely for Findhorn Ecovillagers and their supporters the “New Normal” can’t really be called cutting edge any more…😵 Heck, if you’re having difficulty doing the New Normal then perhaps it’s too late😉? As I still […]
Flooding CO2emissions
On the initiative of the World Weather Attribution (WWA), an international team has made a first attribution study to answer the question whether the risk of severe weather due to climate change, such as the heavy rainfall of 14 and 15 July, has increased. The floods started in the United Kingdom as flash floods causing […]
