2024 hat Deutschland die Nationalen, aber nicht die europäischen Klimaziele erreicht. Es wurden 18 Millionen Ton weniger CO2 ausgestoßen als im Vorjahr. Damit sind die Emission drei Jahre hintereinander zurückgegangen. Komma, sie liegen auf der halben Höhe von 1999. Hauptgründe sind die Abschaltung von Kohlekraftwerken und ihr Ersatz vor allem durch erneuerbare Energien sowie die schlechte Konjunkturlage. https://taz.de/Klimaziel-fuer-2024/!6057130/

Der deutsche Expertenrad für Klimafragen hat sein zwei Jahresgutachten zur Entwicklung der Treibhausgas-Emissionen vorgelegt. Er stellt fest, dass sich die Dekaponisierung im Energiebereich 2021 bis 2023 schneller als geplant vorgesehen entwickelt hat. Das aber Gebäude und vor allem der Verkehr weit zurückgeblieben sind. In den kommenden Jahren seien jährlich etwa 100 Milliarden Euro öffentlicher Investitionen nötignötignötnötß, kommer um die deutschen Klimaziele zu erreichen. Der Expertenradlin rett davon ab, vor allem auf den CO Preis zu setzen, der dieser vor allem die ärmere Bevölkerung trifft.

Langes Interview mit Hans Joachim Schellnhuber im Standard, under anderem zu Kipppunkten und der Möglichkeit, dass wir uns schon auf dem Weg in ein „neues Klimaregime“ befinden. Schellnhuber geht davon aus, dass auch das 2°-Ziel überschritten werden wird. Der „Königsweg“, um der Atmosphäre danach wieder CO<sub>2</sub> zu entziehen, sei der weltweite Ersatz von Zement durch Holz beim Bauen, den er als Direktor des IIASA vor allem erforschen wolle. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit dafür, dass „noch alles gutgehen" werde, sei gering. https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000204635/klimaforscher-schellnhuber-werden-auch-ueber-das-zwei-grad-ziel-hinausschiessen

A study published in Nature Climate Change estimated a reduction of 17% in daily emissions in early April 2020 (Figure 1). Greenhouse gas emissions had a reduction of 17 percent from a year earlier on April 7. At the time, China, the United States, India, and other major carbon-emitting countries were all at high levels of quarantine. Overall, daily carbon dioxide emissions decreased by an average of 8.6% between January and April compared to the same period in 2019 (Figure 1).

Die von Waldbränden außerhalb der Tropen verursachten Emissionen haben sich seit 2001 fast verdreifacht. Weltweit haben die Emissionen durch Waldbrände in dieser Zeit um 60% zugenommen. Ursache dafür ist die Kombination von heißerem und trockenerem Wetter mit dem schnelleren Wachstum der Wälder durch die höheren Temperaturen. Die Wälder können durch die Brände jahrzehntelang zu Emittenten werden. Damit ist die Funktion der Wälder als Kohlenstoffsenken gefährdet. Das bedeutet auch, dass sie andere anthropogene Emissionen weniger kompensieren und die Fähigkeit verlieren, nach einem Überschreiten der 1,5°-Grenze C0<sub>2</sub> aus der Atmosphäre zu entfernen. Außerdem müssten diese von Menschen verursachten Emissonen den C0<sub>2</sub>-Budgets der Nationalstaaten zugeordnet werden.

Erstmals wurde genau erfasst, welcher Teil der von Waldbränden betroffenen Gebiete sich auf die menschlich verursachte Erhitzung zurückführen lässt. Er wächst seit 20 Jahren deutlich an. Insgesamt kompensieren die auf die Erhitzung zurückgehenden Waldbrände den Rückgang an Bränden durch Entwaldung. Der von Menschen verursachte – und für die Berechnung von Schadensansprüchen relevante – Anteil der CO2-Emissione ist damit deutlich höher als bisher angenommen https://www.carbonbrief.org/climate-change-almost-wipes-out-decline-in-global-area-burned-by-wildfires/

Die CO2-Emissionen durch Waldbrände haben seit 2001 um 60% zugenommen, wie sich aus einer neuen Studie ergibt. Den größten Anteil daran haben die borealen Wälder Kanadas und Sibiriens. Sie gehören zu einem Typ von Wäldern, der besonders schlecht an die globale Erhitzung angepasst ist. Die beobachteten Emissionen durch Waldbrände machen unwahscheinlicher, dass Wälder in Zukunft von Menschen emittiertes CO2 reduzieren können. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/17/climate/carbon-fires-forests-global-warming.html

Der Artikel im Guardian stellt eine neue Studie dar, aus der hervorgeht, wie viel von der bereits existierenden Infrastruktur zur Förderung fossiler Brennstoff stillgelegt werden muss, um das 1,5° Ziel zu erreichen. Dabei geht die Autoren davon aus, dass man CO2 nicht realistisch wieder aus der Atmosphäre entfernen kann, und dass das 1,5° Ziel also nur zu erreichen ist, wenn nicht zu viel emittiert wird. Diese Studie fordert das Gegenteil der Planungen der fossilen Industrien, über der über die der Guardian gerade berichtet hatte. Der Artikel ist auch bemerkenswert, weil er auf eine Reihe weiterer wichtiger Studien zu fossilen Lagerstätten verweist.

Erneuerbare Energien sind der wichtigste Treiber des Wirtschaftswachstums in China. Zugleich droht China die Klimaziele für 2025 zu verfehlen. 2023 hat der Energieverbrauch um 5,7% zugenommen. Zwischen 2021 Uhr und 2023 wuchsen die CO2-Emissionen jährlich um durchschnittlich 3, 8%.

Die Grundschleppnetzfischerei erzeugt jährlich 370 Millionen Tonnen CO<sub>2</sub>-Emissionen, doppelt so viel wie die Fischereiflotte selbst. Die meisten dieser Emissionen erreichen die Atmosphäre. Gut 40% bleiben im Wasser und tragen zur Versauerung bei. Eine neue Studie enthält erstmals genaue Daten zu diesen Emissionen. Im europäischen Parlament wird ein Verbot der Grundschleppnetzfischerei gerade blockiert. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/peche-climaticide-avec-le-chalutage-de-fond-le-co2-enfoui-dans-les-profondeurs-regagne-en-masse-latmosphere-20240118_EPWPRIYWQZEJNK2IOJW3LVGQHM/

Aktueller Überblick zu Emissionen und Landnutzung in Österreich die Emissionen durch die Landwirtschaft nehmen schon länger ab, während Wälder in Österreich zunehmend als CO2 senken fungieren. Wichtigste Ursache für die Emissionen ist nach wie vor die Viehhaltung. Https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000200378/wie-die-landnutzung-helfen-kann-das-klima-zu-schuetzen

Die CO<sub>2</sub>-Emissionen sind in den USA 2023 und 2% zurückgegangen, hauptsächlich, weil weniger Kohle verbrannt wurde. Dieser Rückgang reicht bei weitem nicht aus, um die Klimaziele der Biden-Administration zu erreichen. Im Vergleich zum Vorjahr wuchs die Stromerzeugung mit Erdgas doppelt so schnell wie die erneuerbaren Energien. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/10/biden-emission-pollution-down-goal

Die ersten 60 Tage von Israels Krieg gegen die Hamas im Gaza-Streifen haben mindestens 281.000 Tonnen CO<sub>2</sub> freigesetzt, das entspricht 150.000 Tonnen Kohle. Die Zahlen stammen aus einer neuartigen, noch nicht peer-reviewten Studie und erfassen nur einen kleinen Teil der Gesamtemissionen. Der Wiederaufbau der zerstörten Gebäude dürfte so viele Emissionen verursachen, wie Neuseeland in einem Jahr erzeugt. Insgesamt ist das Militär für etwa 5,5% der weitweiten Emissionen verantwortlich. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/09/emissions-gaza-israel-hamas-war-climate-change

- adjacency statement
- This article was pulled by "The Conversation" for being too controversial
- It addresses the double-bind / wicked problems that we find ourselves in.
- It's not just that the elites that are the highest per capita polluters, but
- it is an indictment of the entire philosophy and worldview of capitalism and the market economy which produces winners and losers and
- the winners reap enormous resource benefits, including being able to afford luxury items as rewards which constitute the largest ecological footprint of all
- while at any one time, there is always a minority of the 1%, who hold the most outsized ecological footprint of all, the logic that produced that 1% also serves as the incentives for the majority of the 99%, who because of the inherent precarity created by capitalism, will fight and struggle to become part of that 1%
- So while one generation of the 1% die off, a new generation is born and created by the incentive structure of scarcity and precarity.
- In this sense, capitalism has its own self-reinforcing, positive feedback loop that keeps the masses of the disenfranchised aspiring to the same high resource and ecological footprint, luxury lifestyle
- Look at the culture industry of sports, entertainment, movies, music, TV, etc. and of business in general. The leaders of these and ALL fields are celebrated as heros and they all reward themselves with an ultra-high carbon intensity, luxury lifestyle.
- Unless we do more than simply demonize the current set of elites, and recognize the root cause and change the incentive structure itself, we will only ever deal with the symptom and not the problem, and continue to generate the next generation of elites
- The luxury lifestyle industry is a important role-player in the self-reinforcing feedback loop

key insight
- Elites are necessary in every society
- Historically, people who strongly believe that the current elites aren't necessary or are harmful often become the revolutionaries who become the new elites
- elites need to speak in their own specialist language to each other but there are two kinds of elites
- those who serve society
- those who serve themselves
- often, we have fox in sheep's clothing - elites who serve themselves but disguise themselves in the language of elites who serve others in order to gain access to power ,
- we normally think of wealthy people as elites, but Harari classifies scientists as also a kind of elite
- elites may be necessary but
- We are caught in a double bind, a wicked problem as elites are also the world's greatest per capita energy consumers and their outsized ecological, consumption and energy footprint is now a existential threat to the survival of our species

SUMMARY
- first-of-its-kind climate justice analysis that measures the contribution of colonial contributions of carbon emissions
- total emissions to date since 1850: 2,558bn tonnes of CO2 (GtCO2).
- planetary global warming since 1850: 1.15C above pre-industrial temperatures.
- 1850 was chosen as start year for humanity's measurable carbon budget due to available records and most emissions happening after this point"
- carbon budget used from 1850 to 2023:92%
- remaining carbon budget: 8%
- chances of staying under 1.5 Deg C if we do not exceed our budget: 50/50
- burn rate of remaining 8%: 1% / month
- time remaining to stay within budget: 8.4 years:
- emissions corrected by colonial emissions accounting"
- Portugal emissions: > 3x more
- Netherlands emissions: 3x more
- UK emissions: 2x more
- UK ranks 4th when colonial emissions are counted
- France emissions: 1.5x more
- EU+UK emissions:19% more
- As a group, EU+UK ranks only 2nd behind US
- India emissions: 15% less
- Indonesia: 34% less
- Africa: 24% less
- On a per capita basis, China, Africa and India are far behind developed nations' emissions contributions.
- Many former colonial powers are now net CO2 importers. This raises their emissions contributions even further if accounted for

Einer Greenpeace-Studie zufolge werden die Treibhausgasemissionen von 9 großen europäischen Fossilkonzernen (darunter auch die OMV) im Jahr 2022 zu mindestens 360.000 vorzeitigen Todesfällen allein aufgrund von Extremtemperaturen führen. Dabei gehen die Autor:innen aufgrund einer Übersichtsstudie davon aus, dass 9.318 Tonnen CO<sub>2</sub> im Jahr 2020 statistisch gesehen zu einem zusätzlichen Todesfall bis 2100 führen werden. https://taz.de/Studie-zu-Fossilkonzernen/!5978273/

In contrast, media ecologists focus on understanding media as environments and how those environments affect society.
The World Wide Web takes on an ecological identity in that it is defined by the ecology of relationships exercised within, determining the "environmental" aspects of the online world. What of media ecology and its impact on earth's ecology? There are climate change ramifications simply in the use of social media itself, yet alone the influences or behaviors associated with it: here is a carbon emissions calculator for seemingly "innocent" internet use:

UN-Generalsekretär Guterres hat die Untätigkeit der politischen Führungen scharf angegriffen. Er spricht davon, dass man die vergifteten Wurzeln der Klimakrise, die fossilen Energien, endlich ausreißen muss. Der Emission Gap Report 2023 zeigt, dass keiner der G20-Staaten eine Dekarbonisierungspolitik betreibt, die mit den Zielen des Pariser Abkommens vereinbar ist. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/le-monde-va-faire-face-a-un-rechauffement-de-25-c-a-29-c-dici-2100-alerte-lonu-avant-la-cop-28-20231120_QXFYQM3CJNHALBWI4PV5KR4NIY/

In den G20 Ländern haben die Emissionen durch Kohleverbrennung seit 2015 um 9% zugenommen. Australien verursacht - einer Analyse des Think Tanks Ember zufolge - noch immer von allen G20 Länder die höchsten Pro-Kopf-Emissionen durch Kohleverbrennung. Sie liegen bei über 4 Tonnen CO<sub>2</sub> im Jahr, das ist etwa eine Tonne mehr als in China.

Die deutschen Treibhausgasemissionen werden lt. Umweltbundesamt bis 2030 deutlich höher sein, als es das Klimaschutzgesetz verlangt, auch wenn eine Senkung um 65% im Vergleich zu 1990 knapp erreicht werden dürfte. Mit den bis August 2022 beschlossenen Maßnahmen sind die Klimaziele nicht erreichbar. Die Expertenkommission der deutschen Bundesregierung prognostiziert, dass auch die Bestimmungen des aktuell diskutierten Klimaschutzprogramms dazu nicht genügen werden.

Our findings suggest that the share of US$2020-millionaires in the world population will grow from 0.7% today to 3.3% in 2050, and cause accumulated emissions of 286 Gt CO2. This is equivalent to 72% of the remaining carbon budget, and significantly reduces the chance of stabilizing climate change at 1.5 °C.

fertiliser, the challenge is more real, but there is still an important and obvious first step – eat less meat. A large part of the world’s agricultural system is dedicated to growing crops and vegetables to feed animals, which we then eat. Reduce the last part of this equation (i.e. eat less meat), and the huge inefficiencies in the system mean far less fertiliser is required.

This is not to say the technology cannot be made to work at scale, but it is incorrect and risks being misleading to give the impression the technology is tried and tested at scale, let alone economic compared with the alternatives.
- for: greenwashing, CCS, NET, negative emissions technologies
- comment
- one could interpret CCS as an oil industry attempt to greenwash and create the appearance of doing something when it is really just tinkering at the margins
- it is an excuse that gives the appearance of being concerned which allows for BAU to continue
- dangling the carrot of "future breakthrough" of CCS is much like all the rest of negative emissions technologies (NET)

Die Treibhausas-Emissionen durch fossile Energie sind 2022 um 0,8% gestiegen. 82% des globalen Energieverbrauchs stammen weiterhin aus fossilen Quellen, Der weltweite Energieverbauch wuchs 2022 um 1%. Deshalb hat das Wachstum bei den Erneuerbaren nicht dazu geführt, dass die Emissionen sinken. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/26/greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-global-energy-industry-still-rising-report?utm_source=cbnewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2023-06-26&utm_campaign=Daily+Briefing+26+06+2023

global GDP (constant $US2010) grew at 3.5%/year from 1960–2014, while CO2 emissions grew at 2.5%/year on average (World Bank 2019a);
Tatsächlich wuchs die Wirtschaft zwischen 1960 und 2014 etwas stärker als die CO<sub>2</sub>-Emissionen, wobei sich die beiden Kurven aber nach 2000 einander annäherten. In dieser Zeit wuchsen Wirtschaft und Emissionen um duchschnittlich 2,8%.
