Trump Killed a Major Report on #Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway. The first full draft National Nature Assessment, on the state of America’s #land, #water and #wildlife, was weeks from completion.

Prof Steve Keen exposes the drastic harm of climate policies based on spurious economics.
This 17- min yt debunks the execrable climate work of Prof Wm Nordhaus, author of a paper savaging The Limits to Growth (on deceptive premises) shortly after its 1972 publication.
We have all been paying for policies, laws, and practices dismissive of the effects of global heating ever since. It's bad, folks!

@jhaue pretty damming “The cold hard truth is that so-called “natural gas” is methane, the second-largest contributor to global heating.”
#Climate: #2024 promises to be a record year, above the 1.5oC #warming mark. The year 2024 will almost certainly be the #hottest year on record and the first with an average temperature increase in the world of 1.5 degrees Celsius over the pre-industrial period according to data from European Copernicus service published after the second warmest month of October. #ClimateCrisis #globalheating #poverty #catastrophy #drilling #fossilfuels #economy #government #politics https://www.tiredearth.com/fr/news/climat-2024-s-annonce-comme-une-annee-record-au-dessus-de-la-barre-d-1-5-c-de-rechauffement
It would be great to see this UK Government petition get over 10K signatures. Let's do it 
'Run a public information campaign on the climate crisis'
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700189
Petitions - UK Government and ParliamentPetition: Run a public information campaign on the climate crisisCommunicate clearly:
1) the science behind the climate crisis - how & why for the first time in the last year we've averaged 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels
2) the implications of going beyond this and what needs to be done to address it globally, nationally, locally and individually.

Trees and land absorbed almost no #CO2 last year. Is nature’s #carbon sink failing?
The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into #climate models – and could rapidly accelerate #globalheating
#2023, hottest year ever recorded, findings by an team of researchers show the amount of carbon absorbed by land has temporarily collapsed. The final result was that forest, plants and soil – as a net category – absorbed almost no carbon.

A “jet-setter” tax on Europe’s frequent flyers could slow global heating and raise €64bn (£54bn) a year at no extra cost to most people.
Researchers from CE Delft modelled the climate effects of a staggered tax on flights and found the proposal would reduce passenger numbers in 2028 by 26% and emissions by 21% from a business-as-usual scenario.

"In 2023, the hottest year ever recorded, preliminary findings by an international team of researchers show the amount of carbon absorbed by land has temporarily collapsed."
"'We shouldn’t rely on natural forests to do the job. We really, really have to tackle the big issue: fossil fuel emissions across all sectors,' says Prof Pierre Friedlingstein of Exeter University."

Now *this* is interesting.
From 2005-2023 in Canada:
Population is up: 
+24% GDP is also up: +84% Emissions DOWN: 
-8%
Regulations, reducing oil & coal, cap & trade, education, global treaties, and yes even carbon taxes — the work is starting to visibly pay off.
Don’t give up on a goal just because it’s big.
