FWR webinar - Pollution from highway runoff and the strategies to manage it
In this webinar, Jo Bradley, Stormwater Shepherds, sets out the extent of water pollution caused by highway runoff in the UK, and describes the effects of the toxins in the pollution. She explains how these harmful discharges fit in with other sources of pollution, and how we could potentially raise the profile of the problem. She goes on the describe the treatment solutions that exist for this runoff, and discuss how we could deploy them more cost-effectively by working in partnership with others involved in river restoration.

13:34 This is a scare story about things you cannot see. To quote the Chief Scientist at the National Oceanography Centre, Professor Penny Holliday, "There hasn't been a slow down. There hasn't been a slowing of the AMOC." Actual observations using the RAPID-MOCHA array from 2004 to 2023 show, that although there can be a great deal of variability of flow in the ocean from month to month or even day to day, there has been no decline in the Gulf Stream, with flow oscillating around 32Sv (32 million cubic metres per second) throughout the period of observation. Continuous section measurements of the AMOC, available since 2004 at 26°N from the RAPID-MOCHA array, have shown that the AMOC strength decreased from 2004 to 2012, and thereafter, it has strengthened again. No relationship to CO2. MOC spanning the North Atlantic at 27°N derived from RAPID/MOCHA/WBTS, satellite altimeter, and Argo floats for 1994 to 2020 shows no statistically significant decline (-0.06 Sv per decade). Furthermore blended meridional overturning basin-wide circulation (MOC) trend estimates (Sv) based on combinations of satellite altimetry and in situ hydrography data exist for the South Atlantic for 1994 onwards: at 34.5°S (often referred to as SAMBA) is +0.48Sv per decade. This is a significant positive trend, so no decline, no tipping point, no correlation to CO2. (GLOBAL OCEANS G. C. Johnson and R. Lumpkin, Eds., 2021) The OSNAP MOC Timeseries of observations from Canada to Greenland and across to Scotland, although a shorter timescale (from 2014), show no decline in MOC with the flow fluctuating around 17Sv. "Florida Current transport observations reveal four decades of steady state" Volkov et al, 2024 (published in Nature). This paper shows that a key component of AMOC, the Florida Current, has remained remarkably steady for over 40 years. There is no climate crisis. The North Atlantic current has doubled its velocity over the course of a quarter of century (Oziel et al, 2020). This is based on actual satellite observations. The idea the AMOC is going to shut down is based on modelling. There is minimal real world evidence to support these outlandish claims. It relies upon climate models. You know, those Magical Truth Machines that keep making false predictions. It claims with 95% certainty that the AMOC with collapse by the end of the century. Come on! Really? Sea surface temperatures (SST) were trending downwards 2000-2018 (HadSST 4), and from 1950-1980, and from 1880-1910. The oceans warmed at a faster rate 1910-1940 than 1980-2010. Remember CO2 has been accumulating in the atmosphere at an accelerating rate all the time, so there is little correlation between the two. The North Atlantic ocean has cooled and warmed rapidly and repeatedly during the current interglacial with no correlation to CO2 e.g. 10,300-10,200 years before the present (y BP), 9,500y BP, 6,000-5,900y BP, 5,400-5,300y BP, 2,500-2,300y BP, 1,700-1,600y BP (Berner et al., 2008. See Figure 8 in the paper). There is a high frequency (18 events) of SST variability on the order of 1-3°C during a 10-50 year time resolution throughout the Holocene in the North Atlantic with no correlation to CO2. And Life just carried on.
Extremely interesting and informative. HEAL sounds like a wonderful organisation. Off to buy one square/s now.

Do we really think rebranding multiple distinct and ignored crisis will be effective at this junction? All I can envision this line of reasoning will result in is animosity and memes. But not the good memes that help spread awareness. The re-fried ones that make people think they are having a stroke. But what could I possibly know, I'm just a hobo from the internet yelling at a dumpster fire.
Very appreciative efforts...

proper informative presentation thanks
We're burning through the 100 billion barrels of oil equivalent fossil fuels energy annually. Adding 51 billion tons of greenhouse gases pollution. These numbers steadily rising since Drake's well was drilled in 1860. Oil getting more difficult to extract and of lower quality. Once fracking occurs there's nothing left. Depleting wells and accelerating pollution if not addressed soon will make any plans obsolete.
Thanks Robert, the IES is definitely engaged in these issues around energy and climate change. You can read more in our Manifesto for Transformative Change: www.the-ies.org/resources/manifesto-transformative-change
Excellent overview. Im an EHP dealing with contaminated land and this has been very informative and useful. Thanks for uploading!
If around 80% of people will live in cities & towns then many eco solutions will need to focus on urbanism & sustainable city living. Cities & towns exist within a natural environment (not the other way around) just like ALL social systems exist WITHIN natural ecological systems on which all life depends. Thanks for this discussion.
Thank you! We absolutely need to take a systems approach to these issues so this is an important conversation to have as this project continues throughout the year.
Thank you.. needed this information
that "Peatmap" was extremely informative, thank you for showing!

Excuse me Sir/Madam Are you saved? If you died tonight are you going to heaven? Jesus loves you
Isn’t it just obviously true that the more industrialized a civilization is, the more mastery it has over climate? Rather than advise companies not to invest in fossil fuels, why don’t we empower the impoverished energy-starved people of the world so that they can be safer from climate?
This series looks really disappointing. Solar and wind make up how much of the world’s energy use? (3%? 4%?) And what about the billions of people living impoverished lives due to a lack of cheap, reliable energy? They aren’t clamoring for solar and wind (even though you say they are cheap and the technology to make them reliable already exist); they are begging for coal, the actually cheap form of energy, as they should if they want to live flourishing lives. If you really think climate change will destroy us all soon, then at least be honest about the misery your suggested policies will create and argue that that misery will be the lesser of two bad outcomes.
The Earth is cooler w the atmos/GHGs/albedo not warmer. To perform as advertised the GHGs require "extra" energy upwelling from the surface radiating as a black body. The kinetic heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmos molecules render that scenario impossible. No greenhouse effect, no GHG heating, no man/CO2 driven climate change or Gorebal warming.
Prof Steve Martin A hugely important seminar we need much more interdisciplinary in policy and practice - a timely and engaging series of conversations.
This is absolutely toxic, misandrist, and racist. Scratch the surface of the ideology behind the DIE philosophy and you find anti-science, para-morality, and deeply racist and genderist beliefs. You are building a known barrier to solving climate change into your curriculum. Shame on all of you for supporting this. Genuine environmental sciences reject Race Marxism and Gender ideology.

Good work
Why is this always an after thought? What is the point when we are still sending the majority of our waste to landfill sites just like this, albeit abroad.
I should imagine that 'landfill mining', should it become commonplace (and it should) would initially focus on landfills from the 1980s, when landfill usage peaked and nobody really recycled. Imagine how much metal exists in those to be recovered to be smelted and reused. More recent landfills might be better for waste to energy, but I suspect it will be scrap metal which will in the future be considered the 'gold' to these miners. If we can reduce the amount of rubbish in the ground then that can only really be a good thing, reduces the risk of liners/membranes leaking and polluting the groundwater which we rely on for most our drinking water. The land is also useless, sometimes parks etc are built on top, but the full processing of a landfill could result in land being freed up for development, giving relief to greenbelt areas. Step 1: Buy landfill site, Step 2: mine for metal, send everything else to waste-to-energy plant, step 3: remediated site can be sold as development land. Its going to make some people very rich, so much potential.
Simply put, factories don't need greenhouse gas emissions. Do not emit air pollution, reduce air pollution. stop greenhouse gas emissions, stop greenhouse gas emissions, - ua-cam.com/video/11ykdPfGUUc/v-deo.html

An excellent webinar guys!! Fantastic to be a part of it.
It was a pleasure working with you on this one! Some really good content!
I don't know if this will get answered but ill ask away. Do we know if future generations are capable of dealing with the waste generated are they getting taught the relevant material or is this again a stab in the dark just like nuclear flue waste and fossil fuel waste. Another question i have is that is the current workforce even prepared for this transition. thanks.
WOW, you've come a long way DR! Kat! My high respects and congrats. Chris Goulet, Amazon 2005.
