Highlights from 'State of the Climate in 2023'
Observations from Trends
- Earth’s greenhouse gas concentrations were the highest on record.
- Record temperatures notable across the globe.
- El Niño conditions contributed to record-high sea surface temperatures.
- Ocean heat and global sea level were the highest on record.
- Heatwaves and droughts contributed to massive wildfires around the world.
- The Arctic was warm and navigable.
- Antarctica sea ice sets record lows throughout 2023.
- Tropical cyclone activity was below average, but storms still set records around the globe.
Greenhouse gas concentrations, the global temperature across land and oceans, global sea level and ocean heat content all reached record highs in 2023, according to the 34th annual State of the Climate report.
During late spring and a record-warm summer, approximately 37 million acres burned across Canada, an area more than twice the size of Ireland and more than double the previous record from 1989. Approximately 232,000 people were evacuated due to the threat of wildfires, and smoke from the wildfires impacted regions across Canada and also affected the heavily populated cities of New York City and Chicago, and even areas of western Europe.
With August to October 2023 being the driest three-month period in Australia in the record dating to 1900, millions of acres of bushfires burned for weeks in the Northern Territory during September and October. From mid-August to early September, the largest wildfire since the start of the record in 2000 for the European Union burned in the Alexandroupolis municipality of Greece. The fire burned almost 232,000 acres. Overall, the total area burned in Greece in 2023 was more than four times its long-term average.

Protecting human life, and subsequently all other life the refer to as GAIA, a better chance to fend off the impacts of financial inequities in both life and lifestyle, Habitat for Health (H4H) creates bottom-up strategies to level the playing field in terms of financial support for ecological restoration and sustainable eco-economic growth in areas where it is most required.
Estate Acquisition Options
There are ways to keep a family farm running even after no one in the family wants to farm anymore. What happens to the family farm when the lineage stops? Sale is the easy answer, but how about a different approach?
In an environment where land values continue to outrun the stock market, why would retiring farmers ever sell? Currently, there is a consistent two to three percent return on rental values and the original asset has shown appreciation rates of above 10 percent most years. Even if the family does not want to be involved in operations, the investment is sound.
But There's A Problem . . .
Growing a single crop repeatedly on the same plot of land is known as mono-cropping, and it was developed to boost the food supply and fight famine. Unfortunately, its unforeseen repercussions exacerbate climate change and pose a threat to increased global food insecurity.
Mono-cropping also makes it harder for farm workers to lead lives of dignity, freedom, and security. As pests become resistant to pesticides, and weeds gain resistance to herbicides, agricultural chemical manufacturers have engaged in an arms race, increasing both the quantity and toxicity of chemical applications.
Each GAIA Fan Club Eco-village start-up is designed to help like-minded people who have chosen to look for alternative means of claiming rights to live, work, and organize their own environmental surroundings in ways that maximizes benefits for all concerned.
In order to achieve or improve desired results, better inputs, or outputs, that meet or go beyond H4H-GFC private homes and villages, alternate concepts can be adopted or adapted using tried-and-true historical alternatives.
Through the employment of disadvantaged people and the application of Permaculture to help with the challenges of sorting through the current existential risks and disaster recovery facing the world, Habitat for Health is positioned to develop smaller footprints when designing ecological communities to help reverse the effects of climate change and repair of as much damage as possible going forward.
Restoration Economy*
The restoration economy is the economic activity associated with regenerative land use, such as ecological restoration activities. It stands in contrast to economic activity premised on sprawl, or on the extraction or depletion of natural resources. The term is meant to convey that activities meant to repair past damage to natural and human communities are often economically beneficial at local, regional, and national scales.
Habitat for Health
GFC Network State*
By providing ecological and cost-effective solutions to aid in the recovery from climate disasters, the GAIA Fan Club is in a position to autonomously bridge religious, international, and transnational ways to upgrade the planet's current need to deploy essential core knowledge of agriculture, employment, housing, and socioeconomics. In order to help manage the long-term impairment aspects of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), I also had to modify my surroundings in the most economical way.
The only government help I did not get was LTD income, Partial Disability Benefits, or Cost Of Living Allowance COLA up to eviction, COLA continuing afterward, cancellation of eye surgery, eye glasses replacement, special diet, and by far the most cruel and unusual choices between living in my car or in a specially built and equipped home to limit exposure to airborne chemical toxins that exceeds my current ability to avoid any more pain and suffering.
In other words, while my condition gets worse from living on the street the causes are known, the ways to limit them can be applied, but are intentionally withheld. Such acts and failures to act denies me the ways and means to the only way I know to reduce my pain and suffering.
However, since the government knows or ought to know this by now much of our data is abstracted from government data, then there is a common sense way to solve most of my medical ecological and awkward economic needs necessary with the GAIA Fan Club Proposition.
AGRICULTURE . . .
Regenerative agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming systems. It focuses on topsoil regeneration, and increasing biodiversity.

EMPLOYMENT . . .
Individuals, couples, families, and neighbours collectively own individual parcels of GFC Farm land. Each individual land parcel is developed as the owner sees fit, similar to condominium ownership. The differences are mainly occupancy density and property development with a variety of options for ecological recovery, habitation, rental, lease, joint ownership, or individual sale.
HOUSING . . .
The GAIA Fan Club (GFC) holds license to club properties as do co-owners in proportion to their own share holds. Wealth is accrued and measured as a factor of time paid forward into individual GFC Estates. Individuals are paid time credits and other forms of capital into their own GFC Time Bank account. GFC co-owned property can be exchanged, shared, leased, or rented. In the event of co-owned property sale outright the property can be assessed for taxes if required.
Habitat for Health shares can be owned by individuals, couples, families, and neighbours as a whole. Like strata ownership in condominiums, each individual land lot is developed according to the owner's wishes. Occupancy density and property development, which offers a range of choices for ecological recovery, habitation, rental, leasing, shared ownership, or individual sale, are the primary contrasts.
SOCIO-ECONOMICS . . .
Socio-economics (also known as social economics) is the social science that studies how economic activity affects and is shaped by social processes. In general it analyzes how modern societies progress, stagnate, or regress because of their local or regional economy, or the global economy.
Habitat for Health known, experimental, and hybrid combination of management features and benefits in producing restoration economy, time banking, permaculture, job creation and housing are combined and modified to achieve the maximum benefit for all concerned.
Members of the GAIA Fan Club negotiate investment advice and payment alternatives based on their current housing income percentage in order to be eligible to buy, rent, or own an earned part GFC co-owned holdings In order to maximize benefits for all parties involved, Habitat for Health combines and modifies its natural known, experimental, and hybrid management theories, features, and risks.
How Much is Enough?
When industrial accountability is measured in profit and government budgets favor top down tax payer contributors, the table turns on incrementally poorer workers. Habitat for Health arbitrates issues like permits, environmental repair, and tax credits for GFC Membership when used for time credits.
