Stimmt. Wem nicht klar ist, was 3 Grad mehr bedeutet, kann das hier kurz und knapp in meinem Text „ Klima und Wetter bei 3 Grad mehr“ nachlesen (pdf): ➡️ https://t.co/3CEOKuwhoI
ich weiss, es kann keiner mehr hören: aber bei + 3 K kann man natürlich alle Anpassungs- und Mitigations-Phantasien komplett vergessen. den Leuten ist einfach nicht klar, was 3 Grad mehr im Mittel bedeuten. https://t.co/0IoCnFEHUn

Aus der Kohle sind die Briten ja bereits ausgestiegen. Jetzt werden die Erneuerbaren weiter schnell und ambitioniert ausgebaut. Das schützt vor der Erderhitzung, vor Putin und vor Wohlstandsverlust. https://t.co/8oQfjnWyyX

#COP29 Halbzeit: Viele Parteien rechts der Mitte in Europa sehen #Klimapolitik als Kulturkampf, so PIK Direktor #Edenhofer im @DLF. Dabei gehe es um urkonservative Themen: Sicherheit und Wohlstandssicherung. Das sollte im Interesse aller Parteien sein. https://t.co/BHqY8BKuVA

In the 20 years since the term “microplastics” was first coined, a rapidly growing body of research has consistently shown how pervasive and problematic the pollutants have become. A new #ScienceReview provides an overview of this research and the progress made in understanding

We need carbon removal in addition to deep emissions reductions to get to net-zero. But as we show in a new study the durability of removals is key to ensure net-zero actually stabilizes global temperatures and meets our climate goals: https://t.co/NnZkOQX0sL

🚨Once again, we are sending out a Red Alert. 📈The #StateOfClimate Update confirms that 2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record—hotter even than 2023, which smashed all previous records. 🎥Press Conference from #COP29: https://t.co/dbwcN6B0rP

Total emissions from private jets in 2023 were 15.6 megatonnes of carbon dioxide, equivalent to the annual emissions of Tanzania. That is up from 10.7 megatonnes in 2019.

The climate impact of flights taken by the super-rich rose sharply from 2019 to 2023, fuelling calls for a carbon tax on private aviation

ein Limit, das wir uns gemeinsam gesetzt haben erstmals durchbrochen. Randnotiz in einigen Medien. Keine Schlagzeilen, keine Krisengipfel, keine große Aufregung. Alles weiter wie bisher - nur nicht unser Klima.

Crucial new paper: Planetary Boundaries science provides clear evidence that we cannot solve the climate crisis / stay within the 1.5°C limit without returning to the safe operating space within Biosphere boundaries. We need to consider all boundaries together to safeguard Earth.
🆕Pioneering #PlanetaryBoundaries science: As a vital framework for addressing the #climatecrisis and ensuring humanity’s future, the full story of Planetary Boundaries - co-founded by PIK Director @jrockstrom - is now being told from the beginning.⬇️ https://t.co/l54PijWUSS

A few thousand voters in US swing states could leave a long-lasting mark on Earth's climate today. For thousands of years. That's because of the long persistence of CO2 in the atmosphere. Imagine. #USAElection2024

I can’t help but think that, in a way, most of us contributed to this collectively. If the world had faced the planetary crisis, no candidate who denied it would ever be able to be on the ballot, let alone win. It’s never on front pages, the media hardly mentioned it during this

And that would be detrimental for many generations - and not just for the US but for the whole world. When I listen to interviews with US voters, many have no clue about climate science and no idea about the far-reaching consequences of their vote. 1/2
