Since the mid-1990s average temperatures in Europe have risen by 0.53℃ per decade, nearly double the global land average of 0.26℃ https://t.co/cPl2ntUOjI ...

I'm walking on ice right now that's going to be completely gone in the next 10 years at the latest. This is the Stubai glacier in the Austrian Alps. Onethird of Austrian glaciers will vanish in the next 5 years according to climate scientists.Every summer is an extreme summer in terms of glacial melt. We see that this glacier there is no accumulation area. There is no snow which survives summers.There's no ice formation right now. And it's clearly a glacier which will not exist very long. I want to show you ...

The continent is both warming faster than most parts of the world and, compared with other rich regions, appears to be ill equipped to cope. Some cities are feeling the heat more than others https://t.co/ONPa7MNIdY ...

But they are endangered.So they need your help. What I'm talking about is these guys here, these forest t ...

Climate Change & Solar Activity - The world is warming, and while a small group initially attributed it to the sun, the scientific consensus now points to man-made greenhouse gases [1][2] - The sun's total energy output is immense, approximately 10^26 watts, originating from nuclear reactions in its core [5] - The Earth receives over 99.96% of its energy from the sun, influencing the planet's temperature and supporting life [8][11] - Solar activity varies, exhibiting an 11-year cycle with changes in X-ray brightness by a factor of 100 and fluctuations in sunspot numbers [13][14] - During the Maunder Minimum (approximately 1645 to 1715), a period of low sunspot activity, Europe and the North Atlantic region experienced a Little Ice Age [16] Research & Modeling - Solar brightness measurements from space over the past 40+ years show a small amplitude of 0.1% variation correlating with sunspot activity [18][19] - The SATIRE model was developed to estimate solar brightness during periods without direct measurements, such as the Maunder Minimum [21] - Carbon-14 production, influenced by cosmic rays and the sun's magnetic field, provides an indirect measure of solar activity over thousands of years [23][26] - Analysis of carbon-14 and climate data suggests a correlation between solar inactivity and cooler temperatures in the North Atlantic European region in prehistoric and historic times [29][30] Current Climate Change Drivers - Since approximately 1980, global temperature increases have diverged from solar activity patterns, indicating that man-made greenhouse gases are now the primary driver of climate change [34][35]

Company Overview & Entrepreneurial Journey - The speaker, Rani Mayasari, shares her journey from crafting and selling handmade goods with her siblings to becoming an entrepreneur [1][2][3] - At the age of 16, the speaker's family business achieved its first export to France during the Indonesian monetary crisis around 1996-1998 [3] - The initial contract was valued at Rp2,500 per dollar, but the exchange rate increased sixfold during the contract process [3][4] - The speaker later faced personal challenges that impacted her business but successfully rebuilt her life and career with her daughter [6][7] Coffee Business & Community Impact - In 2012, the speaker started a coffee shop business, leading her to source coffee beans from Gunung Halu [8][9] - The company is committed to introducing the best of Gunung Halu coffee to the world by working with local residents [11] - The company has built a community of 160 farming families, with 80% being women, aiming to empower them economically and socially [12][13][14] Sustainable Coffee Farming & Innovation - West Java, where the company operates, is a significant coffee-producing province in Indonesia, with approximately 23.6 million tons of coffee produced annually [15] - The company manages 60 hectares of coffee plantations in the Gunung Halu mountains, at an altitude of 1350-1600 meters above sea level [15] - The company utilizes water-saving methods and natural microbes in its coffee processing, emphasizing environmental cleanliness [17] - The company collaborates with scientists from IPB to produce animal-free civet coffee, ensuring ethical and hygienic production [18] Addressing Climate Change & Waste Management - The company is addressing climate change by increasing coffee production and innovating in waste management [19][20] - The company is the first processor in Indonesia, and possibly the world, to achieve zero coffee waste by processing coffee waste into various products [21] - Coffee waste is transformed into fire starters, briquettes, dried maggots, and coffee biochar fertilizer, with the latter being highly sought after by agro-industries [21][22] - The company's coffee biochar fertilizer, made from 100% coffee waste, enables the company to harvest 10 tons of coffee per hectare, compared to the Indonesian average of 1 ton [23][24] - By processing waste, the company reduces CO2 emissions by over 50%, resulting in net-zero carbon coffee [26]
