Man Announces He Will Quit Drinking by 2050.

A Sydney man has set an ambitious target to phase out his alcohol consumption within the next 29 years, as part of an impressive plan to improve his health.

The program will see Greg Taylor, 73, continue to drink as normal for the foreseeable future, before reducing consumption in 2049 when he turns 101. He has assured friends it will not affect his drinking plans in the short or medium term.

Taylor said it was important not to rush the switch to non-alcoholic beverages. Its not realistic to transition to zero alcohol overnight. This requires a steady, phased approach where nothing changes for at least two decades, he said, adding that he may need to make additional investments in beer consumption in the short term, to make sure no night out is worse off.

Overall, the richest people are causing because they fly on Jets or own shares in an oil company, for example

The richest people generally have far more influence in politics, the media & of course economics ("business as usual")

The richest countries "bully" poorer countries at to accept 'watered down' pledges. Pledges from the rich that the richer countries typically don't follow through on

Rich "climate leaders" is typically an oxymoron

The vulnerability of countries in the Global South to the effects of climate change is closely correlated with the risk of debt distress, shows recent research from the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington.

So why does the IMF persist in levying surcharges on loans to such countries

In the next few years we will pass 'peak' fossil fuels - it may have already happened. It will mean the world has reached its maximum use of coal, oil and gas and demand will begin to decline...

Oil company CEOs & share holders have a () bias towards making a profit from selling oil

A richer person can afford to buy & fuel a SUV. Wanting to fuel a SUV is a cognitive variable that has the typical effect of causing the SUV owner to experience cognitive dissonance when they hear information on why SUVs are harmful for people & the environment

SUVs are the opposite of what society needs to mitigate road kill, air pollution &

They like their SUVs!

Climate Action needs Artists!

"If we want to engage people in the causes and consequences of , and empower them to enable solutions, we need to connect climate science with the humanities and see creativity, and artists, as critical to transformative action."

As climate negotiations at   begin to reach a critical point, lets check in on what's happened so far and the climate action we need now. - Greenpeace

Hardcore environmentalists have known that is BS because it's been captured by death-dealers.

38 years have passed since Carl Sagan testified before U.S. Congress about global warming. I must say, I feel conflicted about the optimism around nuclear, but the generational aspects of the problem and a need for a global consensus is still as relevant today.

Food production is highly vulnerable to the effects of the climate crisis, with research suggesting that as much as a third of global food could be at risk from global heating.

Agriculture and livestock farming are also major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing roughly a 10th of global carbon output directly.

Paul Beckwith: Methane Migration & Venting from Ocean Seafloor Methane Hydrates Much Worse than Thought

No depot can switch off the sun or the wind. Thats the conclusion also of security and military experts - and we should have learned this lesson after Russias invasion of Ukraine. See this (German) op-ed on a research project by security think tanks and that I co-organised last year.

BloombergNEF: Electric vehicles and fuel-cell vehicles are expected to avoid almost 1.8 million barrels of oil a day in 2023, or about 4.1% of road transport sector demand

Two- and three-wheeled EVs account for about 60% of the oil demand avoided in 2023 due to their rapid adoption and large fleet, particularly in China, Southeast Asia and India.

The faster the world can transition to electric vehicles the better

IEA warns of inadequate climate pledges at COP28 amid fierce fossil fuel debate

To meet its emissions goal, Japan is eyeing a system to count carbon absorption by trees, seaweed and others plants.

As well as saving us from , a renewable-powered world is also one where energy is dispersed and democratised. Fossil fuels keep power in the hands of the few that happen to have them.

Total current technology-based CO2 removal removes just 0.01m tonnes of C02 a year, which is more than a million times smaller than current fossil fuel CO2 emissions.

Despite its small scale, voluminous carbon removal techniques are relied upon to avoid breaching 1.5C.

Global leaders prioritize agriculture in climate action at COP28

There are many dimensions of inequity so this report from on the gender gap in skills will unlikely surprise you.

But one thing it does emphasise is that even in an area as vital as dealing with & engineering a misogyny & continue to pattern society's responses.

That is still a vital aspect of was never in doubt, but it remains disappointing that in C21st we still have to point this out
