Queda em emissões de gases não vai reequilibrar clima, aponta OMM

Mudança climática não será freada pela queda na emissão de poluentes na quarenten

Uma possível queda nas emissões de gases do efeito estufa devido à pandemia de covid-19 não será suficiente para interromper as mudanças climáticas, disse a Organização Meteorológica Mundial (OMM) nesta quarta-feira (22), pedindo que os governos integrem a ação climática aos planos de recuperação.

A pandemia pode causar a maior queda anual nas emissões de dióxido de carbono desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial, embora a OMM tenha alertado que as recuperações econômicas anteriores estavam associadas a um crescimento ainda maior das emissões do que antes das crises.

“A Covid-19 pode resultar em uma redução temporária nas emissões de gases de efeito estufa, mas não substitui a ação climática sustentada”, afirmou a agência em comunicado divulgado no 50º aniversário do Dia da Terra, insituído em 1970.

“Precisamos mostrar a mesma determinação e unidade contra a mudança climática e contra a Covid-19”, acrescentou o secretário-geral da OMM, Petteri Taalas.

A declaração pediu aos governos que considerarem pacotes de estímulo que ajudaram na transição para uma economia verde, acrescentando apelos semelhantes de alguns líderes.

Em um lembrete sombrio das mudanças no planeta desde 1970, a OMM informou que os níveis de dióxido de carbono aumentaram 26% desde então e a temperatura global foi 0,86 graus Celsius mais alta, em média.

A OMM também publicou a versão final de seu relatório sobre o clima global, que confirmou uma conclusão preliminar de que o intervalo entre 2015 e 2019 foi o período de cinco anos mais quente já registrado, com a temperatura média global aumentando 1,1 graus Celsius desde a época pré-industrial.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...

How paddleboarding transforms your body and mind

Adventure is on our doorstep. With so many different bodies of water available to paddleboarders, from city canals to coastal routes, we can find adventure in places much closer to home than people might initially expect. According to the Canal and River Trust, 50 percent of people in England and Wales live within just eight kilometers of a canal or river, and eight million people live less than one kilometer away. I had lived within just a few kilometers of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for years and never really explored it before stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) came into my life . The challenge created both a new perspective and a deeper love for where I lived and the areas which I passed through. On my coast-to-coast journey, I slept in my own bed for two nights as the route passed through my then hometown of Skipton, yet I felt I was on a grand journey of discovery. We are braver, stronger, and more resilient than we think. SUP not only helps us feel more connected to our va...
