    1. when cooling emissions are included

      for - aerosols - cooling emissions included

      comment - complexity of aeresols - aerosols are a good example of the complexity of progress - aeresols are a byproduct of useful human processes such as: - refrigeration - transportation - especially shipping - Waste-to-Energy burning - biomass burning - industrial processes - the aeresols are considered pollution that are the cause of millions of deaths worldwide - this has given motivation to laws that significantly reduce aeresols, as in new shipping fuel convention - at the same time, aeresols have had a cooling effect on global warming, so - it can be considered to be a harmful pollutant with beneficial unintended consequence of lowering global mean temperature

    1. for - colonialism - impacts - Americas - little ice age - cause - genocide of indigenous people in 17th century - abandoned fields - stats - colonialism - genocide - 55 million people - cooling of planet - MAGA - How to make the Americas great again - colonialism - justice - to - paper - Earth system impacts of the European arrival and Great Dying in the Americas after 1492 - https://hyp.is/fHnyIBL3EfCpcmfnGW26DA/www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277379118307261

      comment - The MAGA movement needs to deeply reflect on this - They claim national pride but do not go further back in history than the establishment of the United States - They need to recognize how the US was established on genocide in order to live in cultural truth - This reality creates a contradiction to their entire theme of white national power - It makes the elimination of DEI hypocritical as indigenous peoples have a far more legitimate claim than they do

    1. The Evaporative Cooling Effect describes the phenomenon that high value contributors leave a community because they cannot gain something from it, which leads to the decrease of the quality of the community. Since the people most likely to join a community are those whose quality is below the average quality of the community, these newcomers are very likely to harm the quality of the community. With the expansion of community, it is very hard to maintain the quality of the community.

    1. Vor allem in afrikanischen Ländern wie Burkina Faso wird eine weitere Erhitzung zu Temperaturen führen, die für Menschen nur durch Klimatisierung zu ertragen sind. Weltweit wird der Energiebedarf für Kühlung so sehr steigen, dass er 2050 dem gesamten Energiebedarf der USA, Europas und Japans im Jahr 2016 entsprechen könnte. Bericht über eine schon im Mai erschienene Studie zum Kühlungsbedarf bis 2050.

    1. ocio-cultural and lifestyle changes can accelerate climate change mitigation (medium26confidence). Among 60 identified actions that could change individual consumption, individual27mobility choices have the largest potential to reduce carbon footprints. Prioritizing car-free mobility by28walking and cycling and adoption of electric mobility could save 2 tCO2eq cap-1 yr-1. Other options with29high mitigation potential include reducing air travel, cooling setpoint adjustments, reduced appliance30use, shifts to public transit, and shifting consumption towards plant-based diets

      The highest potential for demand side reduction among lifestyle change are: mobility, cooling setpoint adjustments, appliance usage, and diet.
