>>> Community-centred connectivity and environmental justice in the COP30 UN Climate Change Conference

60% of Britons support net zero
Plurality say government is not doing enough on cutting carbon emissions, and only 2% think the government will reach net zero by 2050
However, even among net zero supporters, backing for major carbon reduction policies is often limited
Majority of net zero supporters say action on cost of living is a greater priority than cutting carbon emissions

This is not good. The energy that is required to heat the volume of one of the world's largest lakes by an extra 3C is enormous. Excellent comments by colleagues Jay Austin and Maggie Xenopoulos on the anomalous heating of Lake Superior. Coinciding with the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, this will likely also extend the shipping season, adding late season risks.

UNEP: New country climate plans barely move needle on expected warming

Africa: Global Emissions Could Fall 12 Percent By 2035 Under Current Climate Pledges, UN Report: Nile Post Global greenhouse gas emissions could drop by about 12% by 2035 compared to 2019 levels if all current national climate pledges are fully implemented, according to a new update from the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat (UNFCCC).

The UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2025 warns that even if all national climate pledges are fully implemented, the world is still on track for 2.32.5C of warming, far above the Paris target of 1.5C

The report finds that India recorded the highest absolute rise in total greenhouse gas emissions, while its growth rate stood at 3.6 percent, second to Indonesia.

I have been trying to think why the US establishment has got so behind fossil fuels. Post 2008 there is a lot of capital that has been extracted from the working class. The issue faced by the owners of that capital is that they have nowhere productive to put it. The obvious would have been to lobby government to fund a 'green transition'. It would neither have been green nor transformative, but they would have found a decent return on investment. They didn't do it. This requires explanation.

When the second gulf war happened, there was a theory about the petrodollar that did the rounds. It was a bit 'universal key to all mythologies', but it had some power and might apply here. The US can print money, and thus run a serious debt, because the dollar is the world's reserve currency. The demand for dollars is so very high as to outpace supply even when the US is printing money. That situation is maintained in part by energy, in the form of oil and gas, being traded in dollars. All production requires energy and so the world requires dollars.

You can't sell wind and sun and their is no way that labour costs in the US can make US manufacturing competitive on global markets. So without a fossil fuel based economy, the US loses its position as the world hegemon. That will be bad for the owners of capital in the US, the ruling class, and so they get behind 'drill baby drill' and hope that something else will turn up as a home for their unproductive capital.

Much too simplistic, I am sure.
