Four years of journalists ignoring the threat of near-term mass extinction and urgent calls for political & economic systems change from a few outspoken scientists which now underpin the scientific community's consensus view. And still nobody echoes Greta's media analysis. Shame.
"We've simply never been informed in a way which puts the crisis in perspective. And this is the very heart of the problem. No change will be possible until media #FaceTheClimateEmergency" ~GretaT
Still true.
Media silent on:
* 2022 emissions deadline for 1.5/2°C
* system change

In late July, heavy rain in the Başkale district caused floods to destroy private properties and barns, as well as killing many animals.
when some parts were flooded, other were on fire.

In Duhok, multiple fires have been reported during July. One of the biggest ones being the Zawita fire, burning up thousands of acres of land, many of which were home to over a hundred year old pine trees.
The Amêdî district have also been impacted by fires.

Farmers witness their orchards burn up and get destroyed or left in ashes.
The forests of Mariwan have been burning on and off for a very long time. During July volunteers and locals helped put out the fire that burned down 400 year old oak trees.

My 123rd week on #ClimateStrike 🌍 Deeply sorrowed by floods in the north and wildfires in the south of Turkey. That's clearly the climate crisis manifesting itself across my country 🌏 #ClimateCrisisIsHere #FaceTheClimateEmergency #MindTheGap #UprootTheSystem #FridaysForFuture +
#İklimGrevi'nde 123. haftam 🌍 Ülkemizin kuzeyinde yaşanan sel felaketlerinde ve güneyinde devam eden orman yangınlarında kaybettiğimiz canlar için iki haftadır içimiz parçalanıyor. +
Sel ve yangınların ortaya çıkış sebepleri ne olursa olsun, sonuçlar iklim krizi yüzünden iyice büyüyüp kötüleşiyor. Bu felaketleri iklim krizinin ülkemizde kendini açıkça gösterişi olarak yorumlamak ve iklim politikamızı buna göre değiştirmek zorundayız. +
Heavy rainfall, strong winds have been affecting most of Iran since July 14, triggering floods and flash floods and causing a number of severe weather-related incidents. As of July 21 at least eight fatalities, two people are missing and almost 600 people have been affected.
The most affected Provinces include East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Alborz, Isfahan, Bushehr, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Kerman, Fars, Sistan and Baluchestan, Semnan, Mazandaran, Hormozgan, Yazd and Kurdistan.

This isn't normal and this shouldn't be normal. Talk about extreme weather events across the world like it is an emergency! We need to collectively come together, unite, & demand change from world leaders, especially those of the Global North!

Da jetzt hoffentlich alle Parteien anfangen, ambitioniertere Klimamaßnahmen aufzubieten, möchte ich noch mal daran erinnern, dass selbst die Vorschläge der Grünen nicht für einen 1,5-Grad-Pfad ausreichen. Die restlichen Parteien operieren bisher z.T. massiv mit Magical Thinking.
Magical Thinking ist es auch, darauf zu hoffen, dass Technologien, die heute noch nicht ausgereift & in großem Maßstab einsetzbar sind, die Klimakrise irgendwie abbremsen können (Wasserstoff, CCS, ...).
Klimaschutz bedeutet nicht, die Emissionen zu senken. Es bedeutet, sie zu stoppen. Und das so schnell wir möglich.
Dafür müssen heute verfügbare Lösungen so schnell und großflächig wie möglich ausgebaut werden.

Hello everyone,
Here to tell you that the climate crisis is not a PR opportunity for governments, but a real threat. Developing countries need funding now to help them cut emissions, before the point of no return

Five years on from the Paris Agreement, people have asked questions like “What has been achieved?” Privilege allows you to to reflect on achievements.
For me, I have not seen any success in the last five years!

When I was cropped out of the photograph in Davos, I started to question why I was erased from climate coverage. At that time, there was a lot of agony, a lot of pain. But now I’m on a journey to ensure that this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

I am happy to use my voice and use my platform to always demand for the inclusion of marginalised voices and Indigenous voices. A lot needs to change in the media. Because if we do not tell the stories of those affected the most, how will we get justice and solutions for them?
A Rise of 1.2 Degrees Celsius is Already Hell for many people who are experiencing the impacts of Climate change right now!

In 2021, I want our world leaders to treat the climate crisis like a crisis. It’s not something that’s going to happen in the future, it’s an issue that’s already affecting millions of lives around the world. We need drastic action now. #Riseupmovement #FaceTheClimateEmergency
The Paris Agreement aims to keep temperatures below 1.5 degrees Celsius—but I want people to understand that a rise of 1.2 degrees Celsius is already hell for me and other people living in Uganda and on the African continent. #Riseupmovement #FaceTheClimateEmergency
This pub-sci insideclimatenews.org/news/13012021/… had me hope it's mere doomism so I read the paper advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/3/ea… It's true. 20yrs of observational data on biome's carbon flux say, due to rising respiration from˚C ALONE, land carbon sink has shrunk already. -20%by 2040 is inevitable
What they tell us is real life stuff, not guesstimates. They describe how they reduced the observational data on carbon flux to temperature-only impact on photosynthesis and respiration –ruling out factors like drought or nutrient availability from messing up their investigation.
The respiration and photosynthesis sensitivity to temperature shows big differences. That's because of 3 types of plants, distinct in their CO2 uptake in source and in their preference for a C-isotope.
C3 plants dominate in mid-high latitudes while C4 plants grow in the tropics.

Ne, Frau @JuliaKloeckner, ganz ehrlich: Die EU-Landwirtschaft produziert mehr als 400 Mio. t CO2/Jahr, 81% der natürlichen Lebensräume sind gefährdet, die 2020 EU-Biodiversitätsziele werden gerade krachend verfehlt während die Klimakrise in der Landwirtschaft angekommen ist. 1/
Alleine die Vorstellung, für 7 Jahre fast 400 Mrd. Euro mit praktisch keinen verbindlichen Klima- oder Artenschutzzielen zu verplanen, von "Ökoauflagen" zu sprechen, ohne dass es einen Kriterienkatalog gibt, aus dem deutlich wird, wie genau die Auflagen greifen, 2/
und blinde Flächensubventionen für weitere Jahre nicht anzufassen, was vor allem ein Geschenk für Agrarmegakonzernen ist, und kleinere und Familiengeführte Betriebe diskriminiert ist absurd - und Sie sprechen von Systemwechsel?! /3
Found another factor of why it all went so wrong:
Ofc, Merkel's adherence to neoclassic and her hesitant personality.
AND false trust in her physics PhD not only indoctrinated newly elected intl. politicians: "Tech will solve climate, no worries", it also befuddled Schellnhuber!

(In the interview snippet from @DIEZEIT Schellnhuber speaks of a few instances when he got quality time with Merkel and they studied graphs and calculations. He describes her physics PhD as overall very beneficial, something akin to a god-sent gift to mankind)
Precisely bc of Merkel's PhD in physics and her interest in some slides, he thought, she was the right person in the right position.
She wasn't.
If a leader apparently sees urgency but moans they can't act, mimimi,

As mitigation of climatechange we reduce GHG as fast as possible. For adaption to c-c, measures for higher˚C are being researched and applied, like dams or crop change.

#Moria is only the beginning. What would it be like down the road, in 2030? My guess, they'd avoid antisemitism this time. It's just not as palatable as it was 100 years ago. They'd target refugees, PoC and muslims, this time. And the political opposition, of course, ie us. Yay.
80 years ago, the political opposition landed in concentration camps, first, and comprised the left, ie communists and the social democrats. #SPD
This time, they began with their end target group and left the opposition untouched, so far (if we don't count Carola Rackete).

But by 2045 at 2˚, 500mio people are vulnerable to multiple climate risks; in Levante and N-Africa an exodus begins at 1.5˚ /2030.

New study on Li in several supply/demand scenarios.
They claim this a 1.5˚-compatible path:
3bn cars in 2050 or 0.3🚗/capita. (EU's density today 0.48 🚗/capita)
of which 49% are assumed EV sales by 2030 or 86% by 2050.
How can it be 1.5˚compatible?!
