JdeBMission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21] [but don't hold me to it]After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal. I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about: * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateSolutions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateSolutions</a> Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem. * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateJustice</a> One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Ecoside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ecoside</a> * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateAction</a> Action is by all means a solution. * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateEmergency</a> * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Climate</a>As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people! On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise.

Headlines AfricaAfrica: Why Africa's Young Scientists Should Help Check the Quality of Climate Change Research: [The Conversation Africa] Scientific research is essential for addressing the climate crisis. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nations body, assesses the science on climate change through its regular assessment reports.

anlomedad<a href="https://climatejustice.social/@leadohm" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@leadohm</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/@rahmstorf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rahmstorf</a> Dass Latif behauptet, AMOC könne nicht kippen, ist seltsam. Hab ich ihn so auch schon in ner Talkshow, Lanz vermutlich, sagen hören. AMOC kann selbstverständlich kippen. Hat sie in der Vergangenheit ja auch bereits getan. Mehrfach. Also gibt es hier mindestens 1 Kippelement im Klimasystem, das kippen kann. Und damit ist auch Motifs zweite Behauptung falsch, dass es gar keine Kippelemente gäbe. Ich kann mir seine faktisch falschen Äußerungen nur so erklären, dass er Laienpüschologie anwendet, die ihm falsch-wohlmeinend rät, die Bevölkerung bzw. die Entscheider davor zu bewahren, sich mit solchen Schocks und Risikoabwägung auseinandersetzen zu müssen. Latif ist zwar selbst schon grenzwertig und schrammt heftig an Klimawandelfolgenleugnung dran längs. Aber er ist trotzdem wohlmeinend. Latif vertritt die Ansicht, dass man sich raus-techen könne und keine Veränderung im Ressourcenverbrauch nötig sei. Das ist Klimawandelfolgenleugnung. Denn sein Ressourcenverbrauch ist es ja, der die Flächenversiegeleung und Abholzung des Regenwaldes vorantreibt: für Einfamilienhäuser, Biodiesel, Soja und Nutella. Wenn er den Verbrauch nicht grundsätzlich, rapide und massiv senkt, was eine Neuordnung des Wirtschaftens in Global South und Global North hinter sich herzieht, wenn er das also nicht tun will bzw. uns sagt, dass wir das nicht tun müssen, dann lässt uns die Kohlenstoffsenke komplett im Stich. Und dann haben wir schon in 2040 kaum noch Insekten in Europa, die als Bestäuber fungieren und Böden reichhaltig bleiben lassen . Siehe AR6-WG2, Kapitel 13, Grafik 13.9: <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/figures/chapter-13/figure-13-009" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/figures/chapter-13/figure-13-009</a> Einklich könnte ich den sperrigen Begriff Klimawandelfolgenleugnung mal verschlimmbessern zu AR6WG2-Leugnung. AR6WG2-Leugnung ist gerade bei Physikern total weit verbreitet. Und Journalisten packen diesen IPCC Bericht erst recht nicht an. Müssen sie ja auch nicht. Weil sie immer nur mit Physikern (oder Ökonomen 🙄 )sprechen. Die den Bericht ja ignorieren. Außer Rockström und Co, die sich mit planetaren Grenzen beschäftigen und daher holistischer mit dem Erdsystem auseinandersetzen.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AMOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMOC</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/IPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPCC</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SechsterSachstandsberichtdesIPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SechsterSachstandsberichtdesIPCC</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AR6WG2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AR6WG2</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Kohlenstoffsenke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kohlenstoffsenke</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Biodiversit%C3%A4t" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biodiversität</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Artenschutz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Artenschutz</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Kipppunkt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kipppunkt</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/KlimaWandel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KlimaWandel</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/KlimaKrise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KlimaKrise</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Klimaleugnung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Klimaleugnung</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Degrowth</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Postgrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Postgrowth</a>

Christian KentBy the way, that last chart was actually three charts — carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. A bit old, 2001, the Association for Canadian Educational Resources.There’s not many charts beyond 2100 but the year 2200 is just as real as 1800. The people living in 2100-2200 will be just as real as Queen Victoria or Karl Marx or Thomas Edison.Here’s one from the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/IPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPCC</a> through to 2300. Whatever way we “figure it out”, it’ll cost more than stopping emissions. Stupidly.

Prof. Stefan RahmstorfI just finished a presentation to the Montreal Climate Security Summit, with panel discussion. It is clear that military leaders and security experts have recognised that climate change is a major - even THE major - threat to our future security. I talked about climate tipping point risks. Here's a reminder of what the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/IPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPCC</a> concluded about that.

MPI für MeteorologieThe fraction of human-made <a href="https://wisskomm.social/tags/CO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CO2</a> that stays in the atmosphere is what drives global warming. Lucky for us, large quantities of the emitted CO2 have been absorbed by the ocean or by plants. But this could change as the planet is getting hotter. <a href="https://wisskomm.social/tags/MPI_Scientist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MPI_Scientist</a> Torres Mendonca et al. have recently revealed the details of this climate–carbon-cycle feedback for a set of models that have been used in the <a href="https://wisskomm.social/tags/IPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPCC</a> reports – and found the land carbon cycle to be a major player. <a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-21-1923-2024" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-21-1923-2024</a>

JdeBMission Statement [reviewed and unedited 24-03-03] [but don't hold me to that]After the devastating Dutch elections [22-11-'23] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal. I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about: * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateSolutions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateSolutions</a> Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem. * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateJustice</a> One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Ecoside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ecoside</a> * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateAction</a> Action is by all means a solution. * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateEmergency</a> * <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Climate</a>As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people! On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.I tend to toot 2 - 3 times a day, but that's NOT a promise. I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.

Bread and CircusesWow. Jag Bhalla offers one of the most sensible, thought-provoking, and wholly convincing articles I have ever read. Title: "Climate Optimism Is Dangerous and Irrational"Subtitle: "Overly-confident math models based on unrealistic assumptions are used to avoid crisis-consistent climate policies and to protect global elite privilege, while abandoning our duties to the planet’s most vulnerable."It includes these section headings:‣ The IPCC’s Official Modeling Malarkey ‣ The Worst Offenders: The EconomistsI hope you can take the time to read the entire article. It's very long, extremely well-researched, and completely devastating.This is near the conclusion... _____________________________Climate change is not just *going* to be “apocalyptic,” it’s *already* apocalyptic. It’s just that the apocalypse is not something that happens to the entire world at once. Instead, the apocalyptic events are experienced mostly by the world’s poorest people (who, incidentally, have contributed the least to creating the problem). Who, witnessing the scale of flooding in Pakistan last year, could possibly say that the climate crisis is not “apocalyptic,” unless you regard Pakistanis as unpeople whose well-being simply doesn’t factor into the equation? 33 million people were displaced, and millions of homes destroyed.When white Western elites publish books with titles like "It’s Not The End of The World" or "Apocalypse Never" or "False Alarm", what they mean is “it’s not the end of the world for people like me,” “apocalyptic conditions will never be experienced by my sector of society,” and “those of us who are among the world’s richest do not need to be alarmed.” Of course, even these are false comforts — the mansions of Malibu are flammable, after all. _____________________________FULL ARTICLE -- <a href="https://www.currentaffairs.org/2023/07/climate-optimism-is-dangerous-and-irrational" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.currentaffairs.org/2023/07/climate-optimism-is-dangerous-and-irrational</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/IPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPCC</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Economics</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Environment</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Climate</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateEmergency</a>

Leszek KarlikTime for some pre-bunking: solar panels are more carbon intensive than nuclear power, but they're still way better than fossil gas, even gas "with carbon capture and storage" (which is a tech that does not exist), contrary to what you might read on Enrico Mariutti's Twitter account (sorry, X.com account).There's a fresh Environmental Progress article about how solar panels are supposedly "three times more carbon-intensive than IPCC admits". It uses the IPCC AR5 median value of 40-50 gCO2eq/kWh as the value that is "misdirecting the world’s clean energy efforts", and completely ignores the fact that it is, in fact, a median value, with the max value being three times higher (for nuclear, it's even worse, because of some really bad studies that got into the review). It then goes to claim that solar panels made in China are much worse than the ones made in Europe, but studies don't reflect it, and this is a "dirty secret". The problem is that the carbon intensity of Chinese electricity is not enormously worse than Germany or Australia (and lower than Poland).So, let's check the data. Table A.III.2 in IPCC AR5 WG3 Annex III specifies the following ranges of lifecycle emissions (incl. albedo effect) for:Nuclear - 3.7/12/110 gCO2eq/kWh Solar PV—rooftop - 26/41/60 gCO2eq/kWh Solar PV—utility - 18/48/180 gCO2eq/kWhAnd as the source, it does not use the IEA report referred to by Environmental Progress but a systematic review that includes the IEA report as one of its sources. Seriously, everything's linked, anyone can check out the systematic review used as the basis for c-Si photovoltaics in AR5, and it does mention that it does not reflect the manufacturing shift to China, which is coal intensive, but its range of outcomes does include studies for solar panels made in Australia, which has a comparable carbon intensity to China (some China provinces have definitively much lower carbon intensity of electricity than Australia): <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1530-9290.2011.00439.x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1530-9290.2011.00439.x</a>And the thin-film solar PV review notes that various energy mixes would have different results but the effects would be minor. Reading on, all the reviewed studies use carbon intensities that are equal or higher to current carbon intensity of Chinese electricity (531 gCO2eq/kWh in 2022, the studies use 510 for UCTE grid mix, 760 for the US grid and 660 for German mix, because those are quite old studies): <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1530-9290.2011.00423.x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1530-9290.2011.00423.x</a>Once again: China has been building out a lot of renewables and nuclear, and while Europe and the US decarbonised way faster than China, studies based on old electricity mixes in Germany and US have actually higher carbon intensity than the current Chinese energy mix.The thing that irritates me the most is that the Environmental Progress article (<a href="https://environmentalprogress.org/big-news/2023/7/3/solar-panels-are-more-carbon-intensive-than-experts-will-admit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://environmentalprogress.org/big-news/2023/7/3/solar-panels-are-more-carbon-intensive-than-experts-will-admit</a>) at the end states that natural gas has a carbon intensity of 400-500 gCO2eq/kWh and 50 gCO2eq with CCS (which does not exist). It conveniently omits the fact that this does not include the effect of leaks of methane from the drilling and transport infrastructure, which may actually bring up natural gas to be as bad as coal or even worse. And it ignores IPCC AR5 data. IPCC AR5 WG3 Annex III has, again, a min/max/median range both for natural gas, and here it is not "400-500" but 410/490/650 in combined cycle (which means that peaker plants are worse), and combined cycle gas with carbon capture and storage, and here it is not "50", but 94/170/340.So, "Environmental Progress" is attacking solar while supporting fossil fuels. I wonder why.PS. For me, the bigger issue is giving single carbon intensity value for a tech whose energy output varies widely depending on latitude and insolation, but stating that solar is comparable to natural gas and worse than nonexistent fossil "gas with CCS" is just bunk.<a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/climatecrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatecrisis</a> <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solar</a> <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/ipcc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ipcc</a>

Marc HedlundSo, yeah, that's why I talk about bikes (especially ebikes, double-especially cargo ebikes) so much. As you hear about the <a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/IPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPCC</a> report today, I'd urge you to: (1) write your local city council and urge them to add protected bike lanes in your city, even if you do not bike yourself, and (2) think about what you can do to have a meaningful effect on climate change, even if it's something small and local, that could matter over time. And (3) go try an ebike!
