To respect the 1.5 objective, global emissions must start decreasing by 7 to 8 per cent per year right away, he said.

Seven per cent is Indias share of world emissions. So for the plan to work, Indias emissions would have to disappear next year. In year two, two-thirds of Europes need to go. Thats the rate at which things must evolve. Even for two degrees, we would need an extra Covid each year to stay on track.

Since my smuggie has been tickling some sensitivities on other platforms, a mini-primer on roadblock protests:

1) Why don't they go protest oil companies or billionaires instead They do. But you've never heard of it, unlike the roadblocks. That's why they have to do both.

2) Don't they block ambulances with dying people in them All these protests have a "blue light policy": they let emergency vehicles through. It includes regular cars with a medical emergency.

Whats Next After UNEA-6

okay, is there any way that entities could weasel out of being "technically" zero carbon, but there still be a global carbon output

e.g. what's the leaks in the system

ideas:

- black market CO2 emissions
- ADS / transponders deactivating kinda activity
- shell companies / claims of neutrality but excluding some business units
- supply chain non-neutrality
- small fractional leaks
- monitoring agency bribes
- some sort of loophole in carbon calculations

what are your ideas

Plastic Waste on Ocean Floors Could Be 100 Times Amount Floating on Surface.

Researchers found that up to 11 million tons of plastic are polluting the planets ocean floors.

was curious if returning to the CO2 levels of 1900 would be a sensible carbon budget. (that's 1.85 gigatons) or 1850 (150 million tons)

answer at the bottom.

saw conflicting graphics about desired targets.

okay, maybe they're indexing on gross vs net carbon

graph: budget is 100 gigatons CO2

vs (budget goal is 0 or negative carbon)

()

so, the target is: no CO2 (and then there's the CO2 used in the course of getting everything on the same page)

if you were curious, there's no permissible amount of CO2.

yes, that sounds obvious to some people. That's the literal target we would need long term. don't be snarky.

okay, wild

how do you weight climate impacts by different things

CO2 emissions by aircraft might not be the largest number on the balance sheet,

but they also make small clouds that might have a radiative heat forcing effect - at least, proportionally

but also exhaust has like a 4 degree shading effect like ocean shipping with dirty sulfur fuel makes clouds over the atlantic

I guess my philosophy is just... each industry needs to get better, can't simply go "the electrical grid is most of the CO2, ignore shipping" or whatever

The course includes a series of videos and accompanying resources that shed light on how climate change is impacting our energy system, our communities, transportation systems, food systems and homes, and it provides pathways for taking climate action.
