Climate Change ‘Burnout’ Is Taking Its Toll

Activists and others on the front lines of the climate crisis, one therapist says, “are living in fight-or-flight mode constantly.” Here’s their battle-tested advice

Climate summits?

You know, those upscale events where our leaders gather to discuss how we should all live in caves without electricity.


In a first, U.S. moves to list many giraffes as endangered

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed that three populations of the world’s tallest land animal be classified as endangered

Tim Lenton is a professor of climate change and Earth system science at Exeter University. He is much better educated than I am, and possibly even less optimistic.

#Science #Environment #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis



How do you think our leaders have done so far in tackling the challenges of global warming and climate change? Not very good, right?

But when is the last time you heard anyone in a position of power admit that? Never?

In this grimly accurate spoof video, a government representative says: “Being honest would mean admitting that we're failing. And we can’t do that.”

So instead they invented a heinous scam called 'Net Zero by 2050'.

Although it's comical, this video is also highly informative. In fact, I'd say it offers the best explanation of the Net Zero con job that I have ever seen.

If you're a supporter of Business As Usual — and especially if you're an investor in oil and gas — there's good news! 🙄
_________________________________

One year after world leaders made a splashy promise to shift away from fossil fuels, countries are burning more oil, natural gas, and coal than ever before, researchers said this week.

Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are on track to reach a record 37.4 billion metric tons in 2024, a 0.8 percent increase over 2023 levels, according to new data from the Global Carbon Project.

It’s a trend that puts countries farther from their goal of stopping global warming.

Rio de Janeiro, #Brazil

(L to R) Giant portraits of the US president, Joe Biden, China’s president, Xi Jinping, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, and Japan’s prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba, are submerged by #Indigenous people to protest against the lack of leadership among the world’s richest nations on addressing the #climate and biodiversity crisis.

“We’re in the midst of the sixth great #extinction,” Dr Goodall tells me during our interview for BBC Radio 4’s Inside Science. “The more we can do to restore nature and protect existing forests, the better.”

“We still have a window of time to start slowing down #climate change and loss of #biodiversity,” Dr Goodall says. “But it's a window that's closing.”

She was the first person to document chimpanzees making and using tools, to fish for termites.

UN climate talks 'no longer fit for purpose' say key experts

The United Nations' COP climate talks are "no longer fit for purpose" and need an urgent overhaul, key experts including a former UN secretary general and former UN #climate chief have said.

In a letter to the UN, senior figures say countries should not host the talks if they don’t support the phase out of fossil energy.

This week the Azerbaijani president told world leaders gathered in his country for #COP29 that natural gas was a “gift from God” and he shouldn’t be blamed for bringing it to market.

bbc.com/news/articles/cx2lknel…

#ClimateChange #COP29 #BoycottCOP29


The COP climate conferences are now totally broken due to their hijacking by pro-fossil fuel governments. Even the former Secretary General of the UN says so:

"UN climate talks are "no longer fit for purpose" and should only be hosted by countries who are trying to give up fossil fuels, veterans of the process have said."

"An open letter to the United Nations, signed by former UN chief Ban Ki-moon, made a dramatic intervention in the 29th COP climate summit, under way in Baku, Azerbaijan."

Breaking: UKGov admits that it granted the Rosebank licence unlawfully because it didn't consider the climate impacts of burning the oil.

This publication is our analysis of the draft EU #carbon removal rules for #BECCS and #biochar.

There is a real risk that these methodologies, currently developed by the EU under the #CRCF, end up certifying activities consisting of a mere transfer between the biogenic & geological carbon pools, or even additional CO2 emissions, instead of actually removing it from the air.

Big oil = Big tobacco.... both knew the danger heir products were doing & hid it while arguing the science was mistaken.

If you wanted a reason not to trust the corporate world (many Im sure are already well past this point), this would look like a good one.

Despite Biden's Promise to Protect Old Forests, His Administration Keeps Approving Plans to Cut Them Down

Old-growth forests are key to slowing #climate change and to protecting endangered species. In #Oregon, logging in Bureau of Land Management-controlled areas has continued at a steady pace despite Biden’s promise to protect these forests.

Countries spend over $1 trillion on fossil fuel subsidies every year --and the costs are much higher when counting fossil fuel damage to health and environment. Here's why taxpayer-funded support for oil, gas and coal is so hard to eliminate. #climate

This makes me sad—
Hurricane Helene, a storm supersized due to warming oceans, leveled about 200 miles of forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. 🌲

“All around, barely a tree remained standing. The ground was covered in leaves that were so shredded, they looked like parsley.”

What happened when the boss of COP29 (host Azerbaijan) was approached by an activist pretending to be a rep from a fictitious energy investment firm?

Caught on camera, he talks up potential deals with state fossil fuel giant Socar (whose board he's on), Azerbaijan's plans to increase gas production, & otherwise excitedly betrays the entire COP charter.

Är lokalproducerat bra för klimatet (=släpper ut mindre växthusgaser)? Nej, inte nödvändigtvis. Transporter är nämligen en försvinnande liten del av en matråvaras klimatavtryck. VAD du äter är mycket viktigare.
