A solution for failing climate policy: Make fossil fuels unprofitable https://www.byteseu.com/2357216/ #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency #ClimatePolicy #GlobalWarming #overshoot

Are the requirements of climate policy even correctly assessed? 🧵

The United Nations Environment Programme #UNEP pretends to be "policy relevant" but their executive summary avoids naming activities that cause emissions.

"The UNEP report could have just said that death and suffering will increase until we stop forcing the climate system, and that if we want to reduce this death and suffering, we had better start figuring out how to implement transformative climate change adaptation alongside the rapid phase out of fossil fuels and reform of food production systems.

"Them’s the facts. If policymakers deem them not relevant, then I'm sorry but we don’t have any others."

UN-Report: Überschreiten von 1,5 Grad unvermeidlich – und nun?

„Es gibt keine guten Szenarien oberhalb von 1,5 Grad“, erklärt #UNEP-Exekutivdirektor Inger Andersen. „Jeder Bruchteil eines Grades zählt und jedes Jahr im #Overshoot erhöht die #Klimarisiken sowie die Gefahr irreversibler Verluste.“ Schon jetzt haben sich #Wetterextreme wie #Hitzewellen, #Dürren, #Starkregen, #Hochwasser und #Stürme deutlich verstärkt. Die 1,5-Grad-Grenze wurde bewusst gewählt, weil solche #Klimafolgen darunter noch halbwegs handhabbar bleiben. Wird die Schwelle jedoch überschritten, verstärken sich diese #Klimagefahren den Prognosen zufolge deutlich.

„Jahrelanges Nichtstun hat zur Folge, dass selbst bei einer Rückkehr zu einer Erwärmung von unter 1,5 Grad irreversible Verluste und dauerhaft veränderte Bedingungen unvermeidlich sind“, erklärt die UNEP. Das Überschreiten der 1,5-Grad-Grenze dürfe daher nicht als neues Ziel und Ausrede zu laxem Klimaschutz betrachtet werden. Es sei ein Zustand, dessen Ausmaß wir dringend minimieren und den wir umkehren müssen.

A behavioural crisis is driving ecological overshoot and threatens the fabric of complex life on Earth

"We explore three drivers of the behavioural crisis in depth: economic growth; marketing; and pronatalism. These three drivers directly impact the three ‘levers’ of overshoot: consumption, waste and population...The evidence indicates that anthropogenic ecological overshoot stems from a crisis of maladaptive human behaviours...We have in place to deliver a framework for shifting social norms and other necessities for addressing the behavioural crisis."
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00368504231201372

"Where discussion of climate often centres on carbon emissions,
a focus on overshoot highlights the materials usage, waste output and growth of human society, all of which affect the Earth’s biosphere. Just one-quarter of the world population is responsible for nearly three-quarters of emissions...Solutions that do not tackle the underlying drivers of our growth-based economies will only exacerbate the overshoot crisis."

"The system is driving us to suicide. It’s conquest, entitlement, misogyny, arrogance and it comes in a fetid package driving us to the abyss.”
