13:47:48 From Peter MacKinnon : The Laschamp event was geomagnetic excursion, like a geomagnetic reversal, is a significant change in the Earth's magnetic field. Unlike reversals, an excursion is not a "permanent" re-orientation of the large-scale field, but rather represents a dramatic, typically a (geologically) short-lived change in field intensity, with a variation in pole orientation of up to 45° from the previous position. This was a short lived phenomenon. 13:52:00 From Peter MacKinnon : Solar cycle--the Hale Cycle is roughly 22 years when it is operating, as in the Little Ice Age it was not observed to be every active. More to the point, a Hale cycle, one complete magnetic cycle of the Sun, spans two complete Schwabe cycles (also referred to as sunspot and, more generally, solar cycles). The approximately 22-year Hale cycle is seen in magnetic polarities of both sunspots and polar fields. 14:01:22 From Peter MacKinnon : Nuclear waste is not the problem the problem is a public relations problem with the nuclear industry. All other forms of mass energy production are vastly more dangerous that nuclear power production and its life cycle management. 14:03:52 From Peter MacKinnon : With such gloom and doom, what is the prognosis? Then what? 14:10:52 From Zack Jacobson : Is ocean acidification safe now, as the diagram shows? I doubt it. 14:12:36 From Peter MacKinnon : Recent UN warning of total societal collapse as presented in the following paper: https://climateactionaustralia.wordpress.com/2022/05/31/un-warns-of-total-societal-collapse-due-to-breaching-of-planetary-boundaries-byline-times-ecologicalcrisis-stopecocide-auspol-fundourfuturenotgas-coralnotcoal-demand/ 14:14:48 From Peter MacKinnon : Here is the UN Report titled Our World at Risk: Transforming Governance for a Resilient Future https://www.undrr.org/gar2022-our-world-risk 14:19:06 From Peter MacKinnon : Citation for that report is as follows.

More signs that it's not happening. 14:33:58 From Ted Manning : Who will lead the implementation? All good ideas and challenging assumptions? From a political science perspective what are the levers? 14:34:42 From Gordon Kubanek : I read about the destruction ofisbon in 1755 and a comment about how Portuguese society needed a disaster to make tge changes it needed to make, but could not, as status quo forces wiikd not allow it, so are we similar to Lisbon today? 14:36:54 From Peter Bulkowski : Interesting presentation. You are talking to a mostly supportive audience. How are you getting your ideas into the governments of Iran & Venezuela & North Korea & (as person with Ukrainian ancestry) Russia? 14:54:19 From Paul Beckwith : Can you discuss the role of the military in fighting climate change?
