Harden Human Settlements for
Climate Change
The main goal of this blog is to share information, develop a community of
interest on how to harden human settlements against climate change.
Not to debate climate change, only to prepare for the worst parts of it.

If You Want To Do Something About Climate Change
Then Now Is Your Chance
My name is Robin Hoard, I am working on an open-source project with the intention of developing a formula for low-cost, self-contained early warning weather systems combined with civil defense and protection subsystems.
The long-range goal is to share the final recipe worldwide with computer labs, workshops and DYI Groups willing to produce systems for their areas. The main placement of these systems would be in middle- to small-sized cities, towns, villages and rural communities.
The basic concept in the placement of systems is defense in depth by relying on the tendency of an attacker, in this case extreme weather, to lose momentum over time or as it covers a larger area as it runs into the urban forestry and microclimates of hardened human settlement defenses.
Looking for volunteers with background in: Version Control Systems; Website developer; Mailing List manager and Bug Tracker Database manager; Desktop/Server Ubuntu OS developer; Hadoop developer; Hardware Engineer for Hadoop clusters development. This is an open-source software shop only.

UK suffers marine heatwave
Some of the most severe marine heat increases on Earth are occurring in the seas surrounding the UK and Ireland. Satellite measurements show that water temperatures in certain areas are above average for this time of year. 20/06/2023
Wildfires in Canada
The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts have taken a new approach by using real time observations from ESA’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity satellite mission to better anticipate the outbreak of fires.
Image: the spate of fires that hit Canada in May and June suggest that 2023 is on course to be the country’s worst fire season to date.
These fires not only pose a serious threat to human life, wildlife, the environment and property, they also affect air quality.
