Nicht zuletzt der #IPCCReport2021 hat gezeigt, dass wir dringend eine Politik brauchen, die Deutschland wirklich zu einem "Klimavorreiter" macht. Wir brauchen Investitionen in die EE und in Klimatechnologien, die helfen, weltweit Emissionen zu reduzieren.

Die Lösungen des @ProjectDrawdown zeigen Lösungen auf, die ein gigantisches Potenzial haben, noch VOR 2040 die Konzentration der Treibhausgase in der Erdatmosphäre zurückgehen zu lassen. EE spielen dabei DIE zentrale Rolle.
This NASA visualisation has it all: It shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North.

As emitted CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere, we Europeans also for historical reasons must reduce our emissions as quickly as possible and develop climate technologies that are globally applicable. This is our mission at @WorldFund

The visualisation shows the 4 major contributors: fossil fuels in orange, burning biomass in red, land ecosystems in green, and the ocean in blue. The dots on the surface also show how atmospheric carbon dioxide is reabsorbed by land ecosystems (green) and the ocean (blue).

Diese Visualisierung der @NASA hat es in sich: Sie zeigt das CO2, das 2021 in die Erdatmosphäre ausgestoßen wurde + macht erkennbar, wer Verursacher der Klimakrise ist. Wir, der globale Norden.
Wer genauer hinschaut, erkennt, dass der Ausstoß verursacht durch fossile Brennstoffe in Orange dargestellt wird, verbrennende Biomasse in Rot, Landökosysteme in Grün und der Ozean in Blau.
Die Punkte auf der Oberfläche zeigen auch, wie das atmosphärische CO2 von den Landökosystemen, grün und blau, wieder aufgenommen wird - vor allem auf der Südhalbkugel. (Danke!)
Please spend a minute reading this note from William Shatner, the actor from Star Trek:
“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe...
...I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration. I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced...
I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with...
I have built teams many times in my career, and if there is one thing I have learned, it is to take away the fear of making mistakes.
1. the employees know that I stand by them.
2. they feel more comfortable in the company.
3. they dare.
As a German with Croatian parents, I have long been a fan of the Croatian national football team. Especially of Luka Modrić. In one scene of the documentary "Captains", Luka talks to the Croatian national goalkeeper Dominik Livaković. He is afraid of making mistakes.
What Luka tells him seems easy to say, but when it comes from your captain, it has meaning:
"Why can't you make a mistake? Everybody makes mistakes," Luka says. "Your problem is that you are afraid to make them. Who doesn't make mistakes? Please name one person."
"Could anthropogenic climate change result in worldwide societal collapse or even eventual human extinction? At present, this is a dangerously underexplored topic. Yet there are ample reasons to suspect that climate change could result in a global catastrophe."
"Why the focus on lower-end warming and simple risk analyses? One reason is the benchmark of the international targets of limiting warming to well below 2 °C... Another reason is the culture of climate science to “err on the side of least drama”, to not to be alarmists"
