Community Update [COMMUNITY UPDATE] Images + Security + Allowed Content

3 Upvotes

Hello - In an effort to forge a better community we are making a few adjustments to the allowable content and posting rules. The changes are listed below, and are effective immediately:

CONTENT

  • Articles that report positive news about climate action will be allowed. The article MUST DISCUSS something that has happened, e.g.:
  • Increased solar installations, new nuclear plant performance numbers, results of forest planting initiatives, etc.
  • We will evaluate how this changes the content that gets posted as well as engagement. We will adjust as needed to keep the subreddit on message.
  • Comments will now allow the posting of images.

MODERATION

  • Crowd control has been enabled to help fend off a rise in troll and bot-like behavior. This affects both Posts and Comments.

If you have any other feedback or suggestions for changes to help improve the sub and keep this a good place to discuss Climate Action, please message the mods. Thank you!

Agriculture Ready for Launch — New Satellite to 3D Map the Earth’s Tropical Forests

Scientists will participate in a mission to 3D map the world’s most remote, dense, and darkest tropical forests from outer space. The feat will be achieved thanks to a special radar scanner fitted to Biomass, the latest in a series of Earth Explorer modules that will be fired into orbit later this month.

For the next five years, the 1.25-tonne spacecraft will sweep over the tropical rainforests of Africa, Asia, and South America, peering through dense 40m-high ­canopies to study the vegetation beneath. The data collected by the mission will then be used to create unique 3D maps of forests hidden from human sight.

Doesn't Nauru also have higher ground compared to countries like the Marshall Islands, Tuvalu, and Kiribati, whose governments have already decided to migrate to another country or purchase land in another country? Regarding Nauru, if they sent some citizens abroad, they could build the infrastructure needed to house the remaining population on the remaining land they have. How do you guys see the situation panning out for Nauru in the near future? Will Nauru, compared to the other countries I mentioned before, survive in the long run?

Climate Adaptation Global Cement is in Decline — and Mass Timber is the Big Winner

The World Cement Association has predicted that global demand for cement and clinker production will drop far more than expected, with the peak body for cement predicting that the use of global cement will drop by as much as 30% – from 4.2 billion to 3 billion tonnes per year between now and 2050.

That is according to a white paper, Long-Term Forecast for Cement and Clinker Demand, which predicts that demand for clinker, the main ingredient for Portland cement, will drop from 2.8 billion tonnes per year to less than 1.9 billion tonnes and perhaps as low as 1 billion tonnes in response to, amongst other things, growing demand for mass timber and geopolymers.
