What are #climate tipping points?
Climate tipping points are termed positive feedback loops or positive reinforcers.
Basically, Increasing the "X" variable increases the "Y" variable.
For example, #ClimaticChange (X) is increasing the risk of #wildfires (Y) https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?as_ylo=2023&q=wildfires+climate+change&hl=nl&as_sdt=0,5
Wildfires are fundamentally Carbon being burnt (Carbon Based lifeforms. e.g., plants and animals) which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which in turn trap heat into the atmosphere.
Human activities are burning carbon-based fuels ("Fossil" fuels & Biomass [e.g., wood fuel]), which release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which in turn trap heat into the atmosphere, which in turn cause more wildfires, which release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which in turn trap heat into the atmosphere - that's a positive reinforcer (although not "positive" for humans or animals in general).
Wildfires are only one of many known positive climate heating reinforcers (there may be some unknown reinforcers).
"State-of-the-art global models underestimate impacts from climate extremes" Nature. (2019). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-08745-6
Generally speaking, humans are not mitigating climate change, the effect of climate change is mitigating humans. However, whilst it's not impossible (it's an unknown unknowns) that human greenhouse gas emitting activities could cause a climate heating runway effect due to positive reinforcers, the general scientific literature (evidence), infers that the fewer greenhouse gases humans emit, the fewer ecological limiting factors will curtail humans.
Mitigating the existential threat of human caused climate change is a precautionary approach. However, the data on greenhouse gas emissions clearly shows that industries are not taking the precautionary approach. https://ourworldindata.org/greenhouse-gas-emissions
Of course, industries supply the fuels, the machinery, etc, that enable people to take part in activities that burn fuels, etc. Many industries are evidently aiming to continue to burn fuels as are many consumers. Many businesses are aiming to continue to farm ruminents (e.g., sheep & cows that emit relatively high amounts of methane)
The question is, what is it going to take to prevent humans from emitting greenhouse gases? For example, in many contexts, even when adults are informed that their fuel-burning activities are causing the climate to change in harmful ways, many don't even try to reduce their fuel-burning activities. When they're informed that eating meat is a leading cause of climate change, they generally ignore this information.
This blog post generally considers the psychology of those that are evidently not trying to reduce their fuel-burning activities (quite the opposite). https://empiricalperspective.home.blog/2023/04/30/the-gross-simplification-of-the-capitalist-that-lacks-knowledge-of-and-avoids-talking-about-ecology-though-bangs-on-on-about-technology/

Most strikingly, despite enormous problems, people are a lot more upbeat, optimistic, and have taken their destiny in their own hands (they are not expecting our handouts, or our "help" to solve their problems) lest their lives are altered by catastrophes not of their creation. Contrast that with us in the West, we seem to wallow, and whine in catastrophism and pessimism. Where's the sense of optimism that literally made the US what it is? If we are ever going to change the world, we better start there, changing our mindset and being more proactive and having a sense of public commitment and not lease that off to the privateers.

People are way more aware and mindful in the usage and disposal of resources (water, food, waste etc.,), build tree covers, less/no use of single-use plastics etc., without thumping their chest that they are "saving the planet". Maybe as a consequence of the pandemic or otherwise, the levels of public sanitation, and cleanliness were the best I have seen. For us, in the West, conservation seems to be an empty slogan to soothe our heartburns!

#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
How about overhauling the MBTA in Boston (supposedly one of the better mass transit systems in the US that looks even more like a joke) for example?
Before people give excuses as to why it is hard: Chennai is even more chaotic, ten times more populated than Boston and way more densely so, with more traffic and pollution, with an old transportation system that already exists, with as much contestations about property and homeowner rights (and all the cacophony of a "democracy"), much less money than here, much more corruption than here, and a much much harsher weather in which everything has to be built. If Chennai can create a stunningly modern, efficient and squeaky clean metro that is cheap (which no US city currently has), then our excuse can only boil down to lethargy, NIMBYism, rabid individualism, indifference, and lack of any will.
6/8
#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
So what is it that they are doing there, and we are not?
For example, in the city of Chennai (it's true for other cities in India too), they believe, including some level of political will and intention, that a modern, extensive, cheap, and energy efficient mass transportation and metro system is a necessity. To that end they have built several new lines that are operational, including overhauling old ones, and will complete several more new lines in the next few years. Not to forget, just Tamilnadu, the state in which Chennai is, already generates more from wind energy than any Scandinavian country.
Meanwhile our solution in the US is to talk about individual electric vehicles, autonomous self-driving, hyperloops for cars, AI for mitigating climate change, web 3.0, or whatever gets cooked up by the geniuses at silicon valley.
5/8
#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
While the weather was brutal (at least for me, having lived almost all my adult life in the US), the environment and resources extremely precarious, the political landscape chaotic, high levels of unemployment and inequality, decimation of the countryside, intensification of existing hierarchies (caste and otherwise) through the import of gig and app economies (thanks to the previous iteration of the "revolutionary" gift from silicon valley), people are going about their lives, adapting (and surviving), being creative whether it be arts or sciences (my mind shuts down completely in that heat), and most of all finding their own solutions out of this mess that they neither created, nor are perpetuating.
It hit me quite viscerally that we in the West are entirely unprepared to change or adapt and not willing to have the slightest changes/disruptions in our lifestyle. If people still hold on to the idea that reversing the effects of climate change is a possibility and we can continue our ways of live, they better wake up from that dream!
4/8
#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
The breakthroughs necessary to provide for decent lives in the face of global warming and climate change (which is already here, and not some tipping point in 2027 or 2030 etc etc.,), and modernize such a society is quite different and far removed from the technologies for which much of capital, hype, and attention seems to be directed at. So in what sense are these world-changing technologies beyond the usual march of capitalism into newer territories? If consumerism is the heart of revolutionary technologies of our era, where are the low-cost, energy and resource efficient, sustainable HVAC units, refrigerators, washer/dryers etc., which will qualitatively change peoples lives? Last I checked, almost no elite academic/corporate entity in the West is working on any of these. Some world-changing tech we seem to be working on.
3/8
#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
It was quite refreshing and a much needed reset for me to view from outside the hype-bubble of AI (as this purported revolutionary, epoch-making or world-changing technological breakthrough), and witness its almost irrelevance and even be a detriment/nuisance to the day-to-day lives of people there.
AI in its best-case scenario can be a useful tool, far from the world-changing tech constantly beamed on social media and elsewhere, and it hits you really hard when you see people living in 100+ F weather almost constantly. The feels like temperature was consistently between 45-50 Celsius during the daytime with high humidity for the entirety of my stay and this now lasts months in that part of the world!!.

The most disappointing part of the AR conversation, we could have been learning a lot more by using wearable displays and HUD style devices. We've convinced an entire generation of consumers to avoid the practical real products made today, to wait for a Sci-Fi potential future.
A LOT of what folks are trying to SELL on AR could be handled easily with simple at a glance interactions at eye level. Moving a smartwatch UI up to your eye is incredibly useful. It's so sad that we've trashed that experience, when AR isn't anywhere near being a real consumer experience.
"I believe augmented reality is a profound technology," says Tim Cook.
He's right. It'll be huge in just about any field or activity. It'll change how people work and experience life. I got on the AR cheerleading squad maybe 15 years ago and I thought it would move a bit faster. But the gear has to be transparent, yes - pun intended, to the user.

I'm glad to see updates to Stage Manager, but the limitations on monitor support for iPads is starting to get silly. SO MANY people want a Surface Pro style MacBook. Artificial limits on performance between a laptop and a tablet (to ENCOURAGE consumers to own both) that business model is woefully antiquated.
We are looking forward to te upcoming and final open office until the summerbreak: June 16th. Anyone is welcome to take a seat at the table to ask their questions, share their stories, and advice each other.
So, do you need advice? Or feedback? Are you working on your portfolio? Do you need help applying for funding? We will be present to help you with concrete issues. Come by the open office hours at De Havenloods to meet the community and find out more about their projects. Please make sure to have a clear question in mind so we know how to help you.
Don’t forget to sign up and share your questions: https://notionforms.io/forms/sign-up-for-open-office-hours-bnbkk2/ !
