USA: A Nation Of Enemies Cannot Stand – By: LUCIAN K. TRUSCOTT IV

A Nation Of Enemies Cannot Stand – LUCIAN K. TRUSCOTT IV

      Something big is going to have to happen in the USA if we stand any chance at all of dealing with the enormous, even planet-threatening challenges that face us.  I thought of this over the weekend as news emerged from the limping-along CPAC convention in Baltimore that Trump had gone beyond his usual them-and-us rhetoric he has spewed at his campaign rallies and most recently in his announcement that he’s running for president.

Speaking to a room filled with MAGA hat wearing fans and booths at the edges selling all things Trump right down to and including a gold-plated bracelet comprised of the letters of his name, the former president used war-like rhetoric to make his appeal.      Continue reading →

CLIMATE CHANGE: COP27- Responding to geopolitical change | By David Jessop

11/30/2022 – 1:16 pm

Recently, COP27, the twenty-seventh UN conference on climate change, ended.

Seen from a Caribbean perspective, the primary objective was to deliver with other vulnerable nations an agreement on ‘loss and damage’ through the creation of a mechanism that could provide the financing required to recover from extreme weather events. It was also about ensuring a continuing global commitment to what had been agreed at COP26 in relation to reducing carbon emissions and support for adaptation.

In the end, some progress was made. Agreement was reached at the eleventh hour to establish a loss and damage fund, although who will pay, how much, and what the criteria will be for any nation to qualify are for future discussion.            Continue reading →

A Looming Disaster – Catastrophic Flooding to Guyana!

Submitted by Dave Rohee

Guyana – Sea wall and massive waves

While all the talk, action, and events taking place at home are centered around the oil and gas discoveries, have we forgotten a critical aspect that could affect our future?

All the riches and growth of the country are centered around how many barrels of oil will be produced and the amount of financial wealth accruing to Guyana. We seem to overlooked or avoided discussions on how fragile our coastline is to flooding!          Continue reading →

Visualizing the Impact of Rising Sea Levels, by Country

Climate change is already causing sea levels to rise across the globe. In the 20th century alone, it’s estimated that the mean global sea level rose by 11-16 cm.

How much will sea levels change in the coming years, and how will it affect our population?

In the below series of visualizations by Florent Lavergne, we can see how rising sea levels could impact countries in terms of flood risk by the year 2100.

These graphics use data from a 2019 study by Scott Kulp and Benjamin Strauss. Their study used CoastalDEM—a 3D graphics tool used to measure a population’s potential exposure to extreme coastal water levels—and examined rising sea levels under different levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.    Continue reading →
