A three day symposium in partnership with Bio4Climate https://bio4climate.org/ and the Eco Restoration Alliance. https://bio4climate.org/era/
The first episode of Cooling Climate Chaos is about the new climate story. Greenhouse gases heat up the planet, but there is another more important factor which is largely overlooked. It is water in its movements and changes of state (ice, liquid water and vapour) as it interacts with biodiverse plant life and the atmosphere. This interaction has enormous stabilising and cooling effects. Once we understand the full force of plants and the water cycle, we can confront the climate crisis with a whole new set of measures. Plants, healthy soils, and healthy ecosystems stabilise weather, the climate and bring cooling. We can leverage these qualities to fight the climate crisis.
Important elements to understand are the biotic pump phenomenon and the fact that all healthy ecosystems make clouds, rain and export heat into the outer atmosphere and into space. Once we understand this, we can see that massive ecosystem restoration around the world can stabilise the climate, decrease extreme weather events and shocks to global food production and all these measures together can even keep the temperature rise under 1.5 degree centigrade and we can even bow the curve down.
