Chiaro: occorrerà aumentare in modo consistente, sebbene graduale e cumulato, il ricorso all'elettricità e perciò, al di là degli scambi transnazionali — siamo pur sempre una batteria, con continui scambi di elettricità attraverso l’Europa —, la sua produzione indigena. (3/n)

Hey! You forgot about the #IPCC report!
Don't worry - I'm going to do another thread here, this time with highlights from the 'longer report', which is longer than the summary of the synthesis, but shorter than the as-yet unreleased full synthesis (which are all summaries)

El informe certifica que nuestro mundo ya está experimentando efectos catastróficos del cambio climático, como sequías prolongadas, lluvias torrenciales y otros fenómenos extremos. #CambioClimatico
Efectos con importantes consecuencias sociales: el informe reconoce que este calentamiento global ha provocado ya muertes, desplazamientos, y la pérdida de cosechas y de pesquerías y, con ello, ha agravado la hambruna en regiones como el cuerno de África. ipcc.ch/report/sixth-a…
Berlin konnte sich nicht zu ambitionierten Klimazielen durchringen. Das ist frustrierend und ein Verlust für alle, die einen intakten Planeten zum Leben brauchen – auch für die, die beim #Klimavolksentscheid mit Nein stimmten. Dass das so viele waren, ist erschreckend. ⬇️
Wie sehr die Regierungen weltweit beim Klimaschutz versagen, und wie unzureichend aktuelle Ziele sind, hat kürzlich erst wieder der #IPCC bestätigt. Momentan steuern wir auf 3,2 Grad Erhitzung zu. @klimaneustart
Dass diese Tatsache zwei Drittel der Wähler*innen nicht zur Wahlurne treibt, ist schon bemerkenswert. Dass 423.418 Berliner*innen sich aber die Mühe machten, wählen zu gehen und mit Nein zu stimmen, zeigt, wie riesig der Gegenwind für ambitionierten Klimaschutz war und ist.
Hace tiempo que quiero hace un hilo sobre el #decrecimiento, el cual vengo estudiando y escribiendo al respecto desde hace 1 década. A luz del último #reporte del #IPCC, se hace más que necesario. 🧵
El decrecimiento tiene sus raíces en diversas corrientes de pensamiento, como la economía ecológica, la crítica al desarrollo y la filosofía de la simplicidad voluntaria🧵
Aunque algunas de sus ideas pueden rastrearse hasta el siglo XVIII, fue en la década de 1960 y 1970 cuando cobró fuerza, gracias a eventos como la publicación del informe "Los límites del crecimiento" por el Club de Roma en 1972 y la crisis del petróleo de 1973.🧵
Our new @NatureClimate paper just out! State-of-the-art estimates of economic impacts of climate change show that benefits of #ClimateAction outweigh the mitigation costs by a factor of 1.5 to 3.9 ➡️strong economic validation of #ParisAgreement 🔗 rdcu.be/c8jSK 1/7
We combined climate impacts of
🔴agriculture,
🟠sea-level rise,
🟡river floods,
🟢labour productivity,
🔵energy supply/demand,
🟣fishery,
🟤forestry and
⚫️road transportation
and transform this in financial costs. But not: ❌biodiversity loss❌health❌tipping points 2/7

For a 3°C scenario (RCP6.0, roughly current trend/baseline), economic impacts are 10-12% of GDP, with high regional differences. Even higher if sea-level rise adaptation is not optimal. 3/7

In recent #IPCC report, developing countries insisted a disclaimer be highlighted in a separate box. That models "do not make explicit assumptions about global equity, environmental justice or intra-regional income distribution." 🧵
For @carboncopyinfo carboncopy.info/ipccs-climate-…
For @carboncopyinfo carboncopy.info/ipccs-climate-…
So what does this disclaimer mean? What are the assumptions underlying modelled emission reduction pathways & why are they not driven by equity-based considerations like burden of energy transition on poorer countries?
Let's start with how models call for a rapid & drastic decline in only one fossil fuel which is primarily used in the developing world i.e. coal. A recent study by @FuelOnTheFire questioned the socio-political feasibility of such pathways & the leeway they provide for oil & gas
“… hatte Wissings Ministerium bereits einen eigenen, weitgehenden Vorschlag vorgelegt. In ihm ist gar nicht vorgesehen, dass Autos ab 2035 nur unter der Bedingung mit Verbrennungsmotor zugelassen werden, dass sie keine Treibhausgase mehr ausstoßen” spiegel.de/politik/eu-kom…
Jetzt haben @Wissing und @c_lindner endlich verraten, worum es ihnen in Wahrheit geht: Nicht um E-Fuels, nicht un “Technologieoffenheit”, sondern einfach darum, dass sich gar nichts ändert. Und das im Angesicht des neuen #IPCC-Berichts und des Versagens des @bmdv bei Sektorzielen
Hate to say I told you so. spiegel.de/wissenschaft/m…
We often talk in terms of future projections, but here's the thing: climate change is already driving major increases in food insecurity and malnutrition. A short #IPCC report🧵
"Increasing weather and climate extreme events have exposed millions of people to acute food insecurity (food insecurity with a severity that threatens lives, livelihoods or both)."
Food production is already constrained by changing weather conditions.
It's fossil profits or life.
Achieving a full phase out of fossil fuels as demanded by the #IPCC means an end to fossil profits.
Yet they are still on the rise. The oil and gas industry has delivered $2.8bn a day in unearned profit for the last 50 years. A total of $52tn.
