"The new paper doesnt change the best-case warming scenario from doubling CO2 about 2 degrees Celsius average temperature increase worldwide or the most likely estimate, which is about 3 degrees Celsius. But it reduces the worst-case scenario for doubling of CO2 by a full degree, from 5 degrees Celsius to 4 degrees Celsius."

Great to have such official accounts on the !

What generates more carbon pollution for a typical commute: a petrol car or an electric grid that powers an electric tram

This is where we are heading.

Governments, in aggregate, still plan to produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5C. The persistence of the global production gap puts a well-managed and equitable energy transition at risk.

The shown graph from the Production Gap Report shows the huge differences in planned production of fossil fuels and the quantities necessary to possibly limit global temperature rises of 1,5 or2 degrees.

We are talking about a factor 2 to 3,5 more production over the years 2020 to 2050

The default "status-quo" scenario is alarming, projecting a 3.3C rise by 2100 that could render regions uninhabitable.

After spending some time modifying several variables, I produced a very optimistic scenario for the year 2100. Still, 1.7C is a significant increase.

We. Got. Adams. We disrupted his power breakfast so he couldn't ignore how furious regular New Yorkers are with his wretched policies.

WE NEED A NEW MAYOR!

Afterwards he had his friends arrest us in retaliation. We were held for TWENTY FIVE HOURS, illegally. NYPD explicitly told us they arrested us because he ordered them to.

Crooked cops, crooked mayor.
(More on this very soon.)

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is a corporate shill, a mayor for cops, landlords, and billionaires, and an enemy to the rest of us. He gutted the city's landmark climate law, Local Law 97, because the real estate lobby told him to. This law was meant to address the fact that A FULL 70% OF NYC'S EMISSIONS COME FROM ITS BUILDINGS!

You can't even go to a library in New York City on a Sunday anymore because Landlord Adams wanted to hire hundred more cops to hurt our communities.

And let's not forget that he is being investigated for using his powers to do favors for the Turkish government, that he is a staunch supporter of Israel, said that immigrants are "destroying New York," and says that building more skyscrapers will (somehow) help our communities.

Enough is enough. Let's get us a mayor that cares about working New Yorkers.

Let's get us a mayor who will put planet and people over profit.

Solidarity forever,
