Slowly coming to terms with how little my brain is capable of. The webbed chain reactions, aka clusterfuck or nexus, of the many systems – Earth systems, but also the many human systems – they overwhelm me. And knowing that I don't know or see half of it, overwhelms me even more.
Adding to this, that I can't trust my mind nor my previous philosophy, is the profound loss of trust in other people; in their ability to overlook their own part of the systems they make decisions for, and in their minds' ability to mesh their radius with neighboring systems.
Ability - or willingness. Ofc, I see that they're not willing to in the depth and consequences for their decision making radius that I view as req'ed.

Yet I still hope that all this is only due to my own mind's limitation. And that they're much more capable than I can realize.
But if they were much more capable than I realize, surely I'd have heard it by now, between the lines, and seen it in their decisions & actions?
I don't hear or see that, tho. #NoMoreEmptyPromises #blahblah
Which, too, might be due to MY mind's limitation to listen and to see.😖
Journalists, CEOs, politicians – they all failed me since long before I realized it. My neighbor failed me, too.
And my mind failed me.
What I'm left with now is this profound loss of trust and with the fear that all goes bellyup bc they don't know how we're all confident idiots

@MGSchmelzer @Schnecken_Post @BernhardPoetter @rahmstorf CO2-Budget ProKopf ist eh unfairer, unrealistischer Mist. Viel besser:
Und ausserdem müssen andere "Köpfe" nicht gleichviel CO2 emittieren, sie können leapfroggen, wenn Rohstoffe dafür verfügbar sind (Engpass!). Das Leapfroggen muss schnell bezahlt werden
@MGSchmelzer @Schnecken_Post @BernhardPoetter @rahmstorf Das muss aber durchkalkuliert und dann in Klimaklubs verhandelt werden – echte Klimaklubs, eben NICHT G7 (mit den unwilligen USA), sondern mit zB Bangladesh, Venezuela, Tanzania und noch 3-4 andere. Sodass deren Budget plus das Deutsche in 1 Topf kommt und D für alle die EE zahlt
@MGSchmelzer @Schnecken_Post @BernhardPoetter @rahmstorf Vorsicht: durchkalkulieren heisst, auch Rohstoffverfügbarkeit ist zu garantieren für die Umbau- und Aufbauphase.
Da es da auf jeden Fall zu Engpässen kommen wird, sind Rationen für alles für alle + Kriegswirtschaft nötig. Giegold "wehrt" sich dagegen👇Tja.

Zum Klimaklub, den Scholz jetzt mit G7-Staaten gründen will, denk ich, dass er uns damit unausweichlich auf das Tempo des unwilligsten Akteurs bringt: der USA. Ihr Voluntarismus, Firmen keine Vorschriften machen zu wollen, ist schon so lang Usus, dass sie es gar nich mehr können!
Mir scheint ein Klimaklub aussichtsreicher mit Staaten, die am meisten zu verlieren haben, wenn WeiterSo gemacht würde. In der EU ist das der Süden und Südosten. Und ja auch die G77, von denen ich bis vor kurzem nie gehört hab. #DankeMedien
"Bildet Banden" - mit Willigen!
Kleinvieh Macht Auch Mist: wenn nur die größten 5 ihr CO2 reduzierten, wär das nich genug. Es muss ja eh jeder ran. Also Klimaklub mit denen, die leapfroggen müssen, sodass ihr Wachstum ab sofort mit EE passiert. Die haben eh am meisten zu verlieren/gewinnen = sind am Willigsten.

@TerliWetter Die Kostenfrage ist sehr wohl berechtigt. Sind Kosten im lfd System nicht Termin- = THG-budgetgerecht zu leisten, muss ein andrer Weg her🤷‍♀️
Die Frage abzuwiegeln unterdrückt die Analyse. Journos sind zu klimadoof für Analyse und sagen, wenn's zu teuer würde, müsste man's nich tun
@TerliWetter In Habeks Pressekonf. (bei 50min.) gehts um 🇩🇪Manpower- und Rohstoffengpässe. Habeck sagt, "lange bekannt" u hoffe, wenn alle mit anpacken, ginge das irgendwie.
Aber Rohstoffe werden knapp u teuer, genau in den Jahren, wo -50% vom 2018 CO2 passieren muss!
@TerliWetter Analog dem gängigen Abwiegeln der Frage zu Klimaschutzkosten wird also auch bei Manpower- + Rohstoffengpässen die Analyse unterdrückt.
So arbeitet man nicht in einem Hochrisikoprojekt wie dem unseren! So arbeitet man, wenn man Analyseergebnisse + Konsequenzen scheut. Arme Greta!

@GernotWagner @KateAronoff G-North gets back into planetary boundaries, right? Simultaneously, G-South must build infrastructure – which determines by how much G-North must shrink so global raw material use/a stays sustainable. Finance & social probs need research before deflating the balloon = "Degrowth".
@GernotWagner @KateAronoff G-North has to shrink material consumption TO 1/3 of today to get back into planetary boundary and let G-South raise their material consumption out of poverty. Less poverty = fewer climate refugees = less sudden urbanisation, destabilisation, fascism. mdpi.com/2079-9276/8/3/…
@GernotWagner @KateAronoff Above paper and others state 30Gt/a (today 100Gt/a!) as sustainable limit for non-biotic material like cement, metals etc, and 20Gt/a (25 today) biotic, as in food, cotton, biofuel etc.
To shrink to 1/3 => no more construction, no more ICE cars, no more cruise ships, .. = jobs📉!

My thoughts on …inabilitycommunity.springernature.com/posts/climate-… Damages to economic activity also come from 100s of millions of refugees in a very, VERY short time. They drive sudden urbanisation and with it, societal upheaval. And in cross-border migration, they drive regional destabilisation and its
neighboring regions. Nationalists gain strength, close borders, grab power over economic decision making, nationalisation etc. In the process, all this heightens the sense of insecurity and that leads to less spending and fewer investments. Which increases real insecurity due to
closed companies and job losses.

The assumption by economists that societal upheaval from climate disasters and increased numbers of refugees in a VERY short time doesn't negatively affect trade and consumption, and can therefore be left out of their modelling? To me, it shows

Words we don't want to see in a paper on EU climate impact risks in intl. trade, finance and EU society: Nascent or embryonic research area.
Yet here we are:sciencedirect.com/science/articl… So EU piles up trade agreements, thus expanding risks, but won't request & include risk research?!
So what's sciencedirect.com/science/articl…?
It's a grainy ultrasound😁of the embryonic research area. Three teams review existing lit. on #climaterisks in EU society, intl. finance and trade and enrich the findings w/ new data.
FYI: search for #climaterisks only gets 29 hits on Twitter🤯 ImageImageImage
Wrt trade they state
"we align the contribution of imported material with EU27 primary production, i.e. removing any processed material production that may itself depend on imported material"
Dangerously simplified. It makes us blind precisely IN the context of globalised trade:
