Flugverkehr ist hochgradig klimaschädlich. Dafür wird's mindestens bis 2050 keine nachhaltigen technischen Lösungen geben, vielleicht auch nie. Individuen können kaum etwas klimazerstörenderes tun - und diese Industrie wächst wie kaum eine andere.
Kurzer Überblick: 1/10 🧵 Foto von @AufstandLastGen z...
Die Flugindustrie erwartet weiter kräftiges Wachstum: ca. 4% pro Jahr im Passagierbereich, fast 5% im Frachtverkehr. Sie will den Flugverkehr in den nächsten Jahrzehnten also um ein Mehrfaches steigern & baut überall neue Infrastrukturen. 2/10

Die Industrie flüchtet sich derweil in Mechanismen wie #CORSIA, die Ausgleichszertifikate für den CO2-Zuwachs (und nur dafür!) vorsehen. Jetzt schon dubios und unzuverlässig, in großem Stil eh niemals nachhaltig. 3/10

Unveiled: The UN aviation agency (@ICAO) is captured by corporate interests 📈🤑!

Right in time for #ICAOA41 a new report by @Influencemap reveals how corporate interests influence the global climate policy at the UN agency for aviation.

Why is this so concerning?
🧵⬇️ Laughing Leo Meme, text: "That feel when you influence
.@ICAO has some serious and concerning transparency issues:

🤐 Non-disclosure agreements for delegates to join closed-door meetings
🔒 secret climate negotiations
🚫 media bans for key climate meetings

Find the report: influencemap.org/report/Corpora…
2/6
30% of delegates at #ICAO climate meetings since the Paris Agreement directly represented the aviation or fossil fuel industries, as the report shows.

So industry delegates outnumber environmental representatives 7️ to 1️ ‼️ #ICAO41

Recently @ICAO substantially weakened its #CORSIA program meant to offset emissions from airplanes. The change in its baseline to cover only 2019 may seem technical but it will result in airlines investing much less in low-carbon projects.

Here’s what you should know ⬇️
Emissions from aviation account for about 2% of global emissions. That may not seem substantial now, but aviation is one of the fastest growing emitting sectors and is often excluded from national climate commitments. ✈️
Recognizing this, countries agreed via the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) to offset any growth in emissions from international flights. This means that airlines would pay for things like renewable energy projects.

✈️ Gestern wurde das kleine Bisschen an geplantem Klimaschutz für den Flugverkehr um Jahre verschoben.

Und es hat sich erneut gezeigt, wie industriehörig der UN-Flugverkehrsorganisation ICAO ist.

Thread. 👇

Die Emissionen des Flugverkehrs werden international generell vernachlässigt. Einziges globales Instrument ist das Kompensationsprogramm CORSIA, das 2016 beschlossen wurde und 2021 starten soll.

Gestern wurde dieser Start jedoch effektiv um Jahre verschoben. Der Grund: Corona.
Ab 2021 hätte der Flugverkehr dank CORSIA "CO2-neutral wachsen", Fluglinien Emissionen reduzieren (kaum) oder kompensieren sollen.
Die Berechnungsgrundlage für die Kompensation wäre der Durchschnitt der Jahre 2019-20 gewesen. Für diePilotphase bis 2023 ist es nun nur 2020.

CORSIA Baseline Change: Aviation’s Climate Regulation Is Broken Beyond Repair

Our press release on @icao's decision to change the baseline of the #CORSIA #offsetting programme.
stay-grounded.org/corsia-baselin…
#CORSIA is a total wreck beyond repair. In fact, it was broken from the very beginning. It covers a tiny fraction of aviation’s projected emissions and completely ignores the huge climate impact of airplane emissions other than CO2.
#CORSIA relies on harmful offsets and biofuels, both neo-colonial measures that shift the problems to communities in the Global South. The scheme is not only a means for greenwashing aviation: holding on to it also blocks effective regulation and leads to further problems.

The @DailyMirror debunks the dysfunctional bullshit that is the offset industry, including #CORSIA and #REDD.

Chris Lang, @reddmonitor: "Aviation will try anything apart from leaving fossil fuels in the ground."

@DailyMirror @reddmonitor We would like to pick out some quotes by Chris Lang @reddmonitor in this article.

Thread:
"The reason that the aviation and other large polluting industries like offsets is that they let them appear to be addressing climate change while at the same time continuing to burn fossil fuels."

In the upcoming days, major decisions will be taken in Montreal concerning the future of aviation and climate heating!
As the #ICAO conference from 24th September to 4th October is set to fail, protests are upcoming.
#Thread Image
The @icao proposes to achieve “carbon neutral growth” for international aviation using “alternative” fuels and carbon offsets, under the #CORSIA scheme.
The Problem: CORSIA is a dangerous, deeply flawed distraction that will result in more, not less emissions!

1/n THREAD on AVIATION TAX ✈️✈️✈️

Today a high level EU conference is happening in the Netherlands on carbon pricing and #aviationtax.

Netherlands is pushing for European countries to begin taxing aircraft fuel.

Conference live here: #Aviatax2019NL
2/n The conference is specifically for EU finance ministers and officials.

I've been told they purposely did not let in transport ministers who are notorious for being crap on climate related measures and blocking them.
3/n Taxing aviation kerosene sold in Europe would:
- cut aviation emissions by 11%
- have no net impact on jobs/the economy as a whole
- raise about €27bn every year

This is according to an EU Commission report leaked last month by @transenv
