Remember:

1. eventual warming for 407ppm CO2 will be ~3.5°C

2. We hit 415ppm in 2019

3. Both ecosystems & organised human society will crash if we hit 3.5°C rapidly (most species would die)

4. Current trajectory

~1.5°C by 2025
~2.5°C by 2045
~3.5°C by 2065

Climate 'change'.
1. 'James Hansen’s “Climate Change in a Nutshell: The Gathering Storm,” written in December 2018 and known as the Nutshell document, is, in our opinion, the single most important analysis currently available for general readers'👇

2. Carbon dioxide levels just hit 415 ppm.

Yes, how on planet Earth can anyone keep up with this stuff?

I'm still not sure if the Paris Agreement uses a 1750 baseline (which shows we're at 1.3 or 1.4?)?

The fact is, people don't know whether we're at 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4. Neither can we grasp the implications easily.
Here's Paul Beckwith's reply to a very helpful thread.



If Paris is based on 1750, and we're at 1.4°C, how come we never read about it?

Whenever I talk about this I feel like an idiot, but I suspect the idiocy doesn't lie with me. It's all clear as mud.
I read something recently saying the Paris Agreement baseline wasn't clear, or there was no consensus on it or something. Now I can't find the article. Great.

"Without very strong climate policy, industrial emissions are likely to triple in this century."

And wildfire emissions appear set to become a bigger contributor to global warming as they become more intense (8 billion tons of CO2 per year since 1998).

insideclimatenews.org/news/23082018/…
'globally the total burned area and emissions from wildfires have actually decreased over the past 20 years because... burned savannas and rainforests in the tropics are being converted to agricultural lands..' ⚠️
The article presents a complex picture, but even if the number of wildfires were to drop due to forest destruction, 'more intense fires, and their emissions could become a bigger contributor to global warming.

Extreme fires can release huge amounts of CO2 in a very short time.'

This is going to be a very important thread.

#WorldEconomicForum
#FourthIndustrialRevolution
#GretaThunberg
#SavingCapitalism with
#StakeholderCapitalism
#RedefiningCapitalism
#NewDealForNature

Let's start here, with this misleading article shared by the GT account.
To start. From the article:

"The theme of this year’s gathering in #Davos is “#stakeholders for a cohesive and sustainable world”. According to the forum’s website, leaders will meet to discuss ideas and improve our global progress on climate change."

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
What is not shared is the primary focus:

"Focus of the meeting will be on renewing the concept of stakeholder #capitalism to overcome income inequality, societal division and the #climate crisis."

This #WEF release is new (Jan 14 2020) - but the focus & theme is not.

Manipulation of procedures, lack of transparency (when the rules require it), dragged out debates to confuse or tire members and blatant violation of rules.

After chair vote, I got 4 different reasons why they switched from paper to digital ballots minutes before vote from DNC
Reminder: Ellison came up a couple votes short of Perez on 1st ballot, triggering 2nd ballot. In btwn both campaigns were to receive list of votes from 1st ballot (to lobby members in btwn ballots). Ellison camp never got it. Later reports showed Obama called members btwn votes.
There were more tactical games played that adversely affected Ellison.

Members of Ellisons team had been hired to lobby. It's normal. But they had no lists to use.

DNC comms leadership said "it would've taken too long and required more staff to count the names between ballots"

Venezuela has emerged from the US attacks on its electrical system.
By @MaxBlumenthal
Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Scientists are once again warning about #climate armageddon. Thousands vetted the best science out there. More extinction, death and disease is in store if we don't act fast.

But I think we should focus on something uncomfortable: for many people, this is meaningless. /1
Let’s be clear: the IPCC report is a tour de force. Over 90 scientists spent years writing it, based on over 6,000 peer reviews. It says the planetary warming ALREADY caused “will persist for centuries to millennia.” It says we’re not acting fast enough to cut pollution. /2
The report adds to the vast global scientific consensus, based on an overwhelming body of evidence, that we’re pushing the planet into DANGEROUS and destructive warming conditions, by burning fossil fuels at industrial scales, and dumping carbon pollution into the air. /3

What size of land would be required to supply the aviation industry with the sufficient amount of biojetfuel, should a biofuel revolution take place?

Six times the area of all the fields in the world.
That is, 68 percent of the total land area on Earth.
#climate #aviation
Let me explain why.
Earlier this year, a long-distance flight was performed by Qantas, using 10% biofuel. 150 acres of mustard was required for this flight. ow.ly/byRP30lz8td
Suppose that we would replace all fossil jetfuel with 100% biojetfuel with the same area requirements as Qantas' flight.
Also, suppose that roughly 1/4 of all flights are long-distance & that short-distance flights require 75% less fuel than long-distance.
