Hurricanes occur most frequently in warm tropical oceans where sea surface temperatures are above 27 degrees Celsius. Additional factors that enable hurricane formation include light winds aloft and atmospheric spin. People who live in hurricane-prone regions face greater risks to quality of life from property damage, economic impacts, and health issues from the disasters. To cope, those in hazard areas adapt their food sources, build sturdy shelters, and wear protective clothing suited to the climate and disaster risks.

Dealing with denialism climate change

Ben Heard

(1) The document discusses strategies for addressing climate change denialism when engaging with deniers. It analyzes common denialist techniques like the Gish gallop, conspiracy theories, and internal inconsistency. (2) It recommends not directly engaging with techniques like the Gish gallop and instead pinpointing inconsistent arguments. The document also suggests making deniers explicitly state conspiracy theories to reveal flaws. (3) Additional tips include knowing the science, using simple language, being likable, and finding common ground with deniers to change identities and views gradually rather than through direct confrontation. The overall approach is to avoid getting mired in scientific details and instead focus on logical inconsistencies and behaviors.

Risk taking

Alan Haller

This document discusses risk taking and decision making under uncertainty. It notes that life is finite, resources are limited, and opportunities are scarce. While doing nothing is still a decision, risk taking implies change which many see as threatening. Throughout history, people have sought to predict the future through religion, superstition, and gambling. More recently, thinkers have developed quantitative approaches to assessing risk and reward based on probabilities, costs, and potential gains to make informed decisions under uncertainty.

Wendy Schultz

A prospective client asked for a presentation on societal collapse, with roughly a 400-year time horizon. As I had heard that Prof. Bruce Tonn was editing a special issue of Futures on extinction scenarios, I requested access to the essays ahead of publication. He kindly assented, and I drew on several of the essays to create this slidedeck of "collapse" scenarios (I wasn't asked to take the stories to complete extinction). Some of the stories I wanted to tell were not well-represented in the essays of the special edition, and so I drew on other resources as well. Finally, I chose to interpret "collapse" as "the end of the world as we know it," and thus also included a post-Singularity, nanotech, "mutable world" scenario. Please feel free to contact me (wendy@infinitefutures.com) if you have any questions.

The group had previously chosen a park as the filming location for their documentary on social media, but realized a park did not relate well to their topic. They decided to research more effective locations. Potential locations included Camden Town, Oxford Street, Hyde Park, and Covent Garden. Camden Town and Hyde Park were narrowed down as choices because they are well-known areas frequented by youth where socializing is common. Camden Town was ultimately selected because of its urban setting and many social places popular with youth.

2015 International Spatial Planning Symposium: Sharing Practical Solutions

riseagrant

The document summarizes findings from a review of marine spatial plans around the world. It finds that most plans are implemented at smaller spatial scales than entire ecosystems. It also finds that few institutional changes are made to governing bodies to implement coastal and marine spatial planning, relying instead on existing agencies. Additionally, it notes that while formal decision support tools are used, informal expert judgment also plays a role. The main messages are that there is no single approach for marine spatial planning and that the value is in the planning process of engaging stakeholders as much as the final plan.

Regional Planning

riseagrant

Five regional planning bodies have been established across the United States to coordinate ocean planning: the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Islands, Caribbean, and West Coast. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions have established charters and are drafting regional marine plans to be completed in 2016. The Pacific Islands has a charter and is beginning to draft a plan, while the Caribbean is still finalizing its charter and the West Coast is working on one.

Ocean Planning's Impact

riseagrant

This document assessed the impact of past ocean management plans in several countries and U.S. states. It found that the plans supported $4.1 billion in ocean economies by siting wind farms and retaining existing industries. The plans also generated hundreds of millions of dollars annually in economic gains for new industries like wind power and retained billions within existing industries like fishing and tourism. While fishermen lost some access, they were compensated. The plans encouraged collaboration among stakeholders and expanded environmental protections over 50% of the planned areas while managing industrial growth. Future research on newer plans is needed to fully understand the long-term economic, environmental and social impacts of comprehensive ocean management.
