  1. Well, aren't we a bunch of pessimists on #Mastodon? I ran a highly scientific poll (sarcasm) a few days ago about the final statement of the #UN #Cop28 aka #CopOut28 #Climate summit in #Dubai. 59% of the 34 respondents said Cop28 was "a complete disaster", 35% were more generous, agreeing it was "mainly a failure", and 6% were actually optimists, agreeing the summit was "a partial success". (No one agreed that it was "a great success"). climatejustice.social/@ariadne

    Or, just perhaps, we #Mastodonians are realists.

    This reminds me of an expression in #English and its (supposed) equivalent in #German. In English, one says "hope springs eternal". Very glass-half-full. In German, one says "die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt". Hope dies last. Glass-half-empty? Or just realist?

  6. The failure of Cop28 to call for a phase-out of fossil fuels is “devastating” and “dangerous” given the urgent need for action to tackle the climate crisis, scientists have said.

    One called it a “tragedy for the planet and our future” while another said it was the “dream outcome” for the fossil fuel industry.

  21. & I'd go one step further - We really do need to develop a #GreenMarshallPlan - It's the only way many countries will be able to move to climate friendly energy and industry.

    And it has a lot of potential to help address other problems and challenges - for both the wealthy countries and the recipients (assuming the implementation centers on local community engagement in the planning and implementation)

    Such as a faster learning curve in manufacturing and deploying - capturing insights from numerous projects in various conditions

    Such as opportunities to develop skilled workforces in low-wealth countries - as the skills needed to install, operate, repair and manage low GHG renewables and industry are highly transferrable skills

    Such as opportunities for improved shared learning on a regional and global level, with the #GreenMarshallPlan acting as the convener of conferences (hopefully more constructive than #COPOut28)
