„With another weekend of strikes involving the United States and Iran, renewed diplomatic efforts on Monday have eased immediate fears of escalation, but the economic shockwaves are already taking a heavy toll on some of the world's poorest countries.“

„In Malawi's capital Lilongwe, drivers are struggling to fill up their tanks. People wait hours for petrol that's more than doubled in price since last year. Government price hikes and the war in Iran have created a perfect storm for the landlocked African nation.“

The current #fossilenergy crisis is once again driving up electricity prices across Europe – mostly where power generation still often relies on fossil gas to meet the demand. Since electricity price follows the most expensive source in the mix at any given time, even limited fossil fuel use can keep prices elevated – underlining the need to accelerate renewables expansion. 1/x

If you want to act due to climate change and spend your money into your home region, you should consider bying an electric car. If possible produced in your home country.
because
Oil exporting countries (2023): 1 USA, 2 Saudi-Arabia, 3 RussiaElectric cars have 73% less GHG emissions over their lifetime.
Bloomberg: Electric cars will shrink oil demand the next few years

I had this idea during COP 28. Better late than never! ^^ Above all, let's keep it the same and talk, talk; something good may come out of it (nope).
PS: This isn't an attack on the principle of the COP, rather on the reality that decades of lobbying have made of it... just air. 🫤

A message from the past: former chancellor Helmut Schmidt correctly assesses the problems of #nuclearenergy and #fossilenergy and points to #solarenergy as a solution. He says that the latter requires a technological breakthrough to be effective, but exactly this has happened since 1988. So why does not everybody move on? Politicians, stop listening to your friends from the nuclear and fossil industry!

#Environment #Energy #Economy#NateHagens and #JeanMarcJancovici discuss about the critical importance of #energy to modern economies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EHCguJp9eQ
They break down the fundamentals of our complex, growth dependent global economic system. How much of the stereotypical Western lifestyle is centered around access to cheap, surplus #FossilEnergy?
What would it mean for societies to lose this stable, cheap and abundant supply - and how would the people who have become used to it react?
Will a shift in society’s institutions and expectations need to be forced upon us in a time of urgent change or is it possible for nations and societies to anticipate declining energy availability - to actively simplify before we are forced to by circumstances?- #NateHagens is the Director of The Institute for the Study of Energy & Our Future ( #ISEOF ) an organization focused on educating and preparing society for the coming cultural transition. https://www.thegreatsimplification.com
- #JeanMarcJancovici is a founding partner of #Carbone4, a #Paris based consultancy and data provider specializing in #LowCarbonTransition, #biodiversity impacts, and physical risks of #ClimateChange https://www.carbone4.com.
He is the founder and president of #TheShiftProject, a Paris based think tank advocating for a #LowCarbonEconomy https://www.theshiftproject.org. -
The myth that #RenewableEnergy is expensive while nuclear or fossil energy is cheap is constantly spread by various lobbyists.
The truth is a bit different, but see for yourself

4. The fact that we are building highways in all 50 states is the surest proof that could exist that the people of the United States really don't care about emissions or fossil fuels.
It would be physically impossible to do that much #EcosystemDegradation, consume that much #FossilEnergy, or emit that much CO2 above and beyond what the fossil fuels contained, by any other imaginable real world industrial process.
The purpose of highways is to enable more cars and trucks to go faster.

How can governments still give #subsidies for #fossilenergy? That’s completely irresponsible for the future of #humanity, the future of #nature, and the future of Planet Earth!
“#Climatechange spells ‘terrifying’ future, says #UN human rights chief, calling for an end to #fossilfuel subsidies”

#FossilEnergy is no longer welcome!
“UN chief says fossil fuels "incompatible with human survival" as world breaks temperature records”

Use of fossil energy really must end.
