TITLE: Airlines Should Pay for CO2 Removal If Airport Expands, Say Advisers

London's Heathrow Airport should only be allowed to expand if airlines use more sustainable fuel and pay for the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the government's climate advisers have said. Building a third runway and new terminals, as some British government leaders want to do, would breach the United Kingdom's carbon budgets and make reaching net zero by 2050 impossible with current policies, according to the Climate Change...

The Carbon Budget Petition. We need to get half our cars off gas, half our buildings off gas and cut all industrial emissions in half, including the oil sands. We have all the technology, and some of it is even cheaper than gas. All we are missing is political leadership. Help to pressure the Canadian government by signing the Parliamentary Petition. #CarbonBudget #greenhousegas #cleanenergy

The US-Israel war on Iran is a disaster for the climate, according to an analysis that finds it is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined.

How do mesoscale #eddies shape the Southern Ocean #CarbonBudget? 🌊🌀

The Southern Ocean takes up about a quarter of anthropogenic CO₂. A 27-yr eddy resolving simulation conducted by Salinas-Matus et al. shows anticyclonic eddies to be most efficient at absorbing atmospheric CO₂, while cyclones & peripheries are weaker. These eddies cause daily & seasonal variability and act as overall carbon sinks, contributing ~10 % of total uptake & ~1 % of anomalous uptake.🔍

#CarbonBudget ? The emperor has no clothes.

The richest 1% have exhausted their annual carbon budget – the amount of CO2 that can be emitted while staying within 1.5 degrees of warming – only ten days into the year, according to new analysis from Oxfam. The richest 0.1% already used up their carbon limit on the 3rd January.

"According to the Committee on Climate Change, the UK’s share of global emissions is approximately 1 per cent. However, the carbon budgets they have recommended, up to 2043, are equivalent to 1.79% of what they acknowledge to be the available global budget for only a 50% chance of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees. Britain is setting too large a carbon budget for itself, taking nearly twice its fair share"

"The [#UK's] first three carbon budgets were relatively easy to meet: mainly completing the switch from coal to gas that was begun in the 1990s, and investing in renewable energy, such as offshore wind.

But other high-emitting sectors of the economy – transport, industry, buildings and farming – have made far less progress under recent governments. As a result, the UK is already badly off track to meet the current #CarbonBudget – the fourth, which runs to 2028."

Many discussions, reflexions, policies about climate change concern themselves with the predictions average, or central scenarios, somewhat of necessity. But there are still many uncertainties about the future evolution.

The article below describes one reason why that change could be coming faster than expected. It’s not definitive at all, just something to keep in mind: https://nachrichten.idw-online.de/2024/12/05/rapid-surge-in-global-warming-mainly-due-to-reduced-planetary-albedo

We should stop pretending that we still have a #CarbonBudget --every bit of fossil fuel that gets burned is too much already, and we need to get out of fossil fuels even if it hurts the economy. If people lose their jobs, then the welfare state needs to keep them afloat. If prices rise, then all the essential goods like food and medicine must be rationed and distributed free of charge. If landlords don't want to install heat pumps and solar panels, the state needs to seize their property. If the state hasn't got any money, just take the wealth from the rich and redistribute it as needed. Even with a shrinking cake, there should be enough for everyone if we just #EatTheRich

Trotz Fortschritten bei erneuerbaren Energien zeigt der aktuelle Bericht des Global Carbon Project, dass die globalen fossilen CO2-Emissionen 2024 erneut ansteigen werden.

Für das Jahr 2024 werden weltweit 41,6 Milliarden Tonnen CO2-Emissionen erwartet – ein Anstieg um 2 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Eine Trendwende, die dringend notwendig wäre, um die Pariser Klimaziele zu erreichen, ist weiterhin nicht in Sicht.

"#Wildfires are burning through the #CarbonBudget that humans have allocated themselves to limit global heating, a study shows.

Each fire has a double impact on the global climate: first, by emitting carbon from the burned trees, and second, by reducing the capacity of forests to absorb carbon dioxide.

Climatologists say the already dire situation will deteriorate until humankind, particularly in the wealthy global north, stops burning #FossilFuels."

@muellertadzio

The Paris Limit of 1.5°C is defined as "by the end of the century".
The dream goes: we splurge now and later, Greta goes on a diet/gets a tummy tuck.
It's called "overshoot scenario" and all 1.5-scenarios and even most of the below-2C-scenarios have the magicc of carbon removal built in. (By which the excess CO2 to a to-be-determined warming level is removed.)

Joeri Rogelj explains 3 factors (there are more!) why the ease in which society looks at 1.5C_overshoot scenarios is overconfident:

* 1 out of 6 of such model runs do an overshoot by a whopping 0.5C !
* societies face more stress in overshoot from temperature the increase, and as a result, maybe stop CO2 removal altogether !
* exact warming per t CO2 is uncertain !

#Rogelj is the God Of #CarbonBudget and #IPCC lead author in #AR6-WG1.

"In 2020, the remaining #CarbonBudget for a 50% likelihood of staying below 1.5C was around 500GtCO2.

Since then, CO2 emissions and global warming have continued. At the start of this year, the same budget stood at 200GtCO2, with a range of 100-450GtCO2. This would be blown within less than five years at current rates."

2. Tell the truth that

- linear Net Zero 2050 would take 3x the UK's fair share
- urgent radical change is needed if we care about 1.5° & climate justice

How massive were last summer's Canadian wildfires?

So massive that the area of forest destroyed--18.5 million hectares--is triple the previous record.

So massive that the carbon emissions from the destroyed tree bodies dwarfed Canada's annual GHG emissions from all other sources.

In fact, the emissions from Canadian wildfires in 2023 were roughly equivalent to 6% of global emissions for 2021.

In normal conditions, the lost carbon from wildfires is recuperated by forest regrowth within a few years. But with temperatures continuing to increase, there's less time between fires for such regrowth to occur. So, we're balanced on the edge of a major tipping point, where wildfires in Canada, Siberia, and Australia [edit: and THE AMAZON!! How could I forget the Amazon rainforest, tsk tsk) could turn forests from net carbon sinks into net carbon sources.

This article does a pretty good job discussing how scientists are integrating wildfire emissions into global carbon budget thinking, and carbon budgets generally.
