“We must, at least so far, admit failure”

Ten years after the #ParisAgreement, which aims to keep #GlobalHeating well below 2°C and to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C: here are the comments from PIK Directors Johan #Rockström and Ottmar #Edenhofer

The scientists speak a little into the camera, then the filmmaker either illustrates the spoken words with aerial nature scenes or with clear, animated graphics.
English with English subtitles. I like it!

Again, the 7%-water-rule comes up.
Eye opener: 7% at +1.5C is more water vapour than what 7% was at +1C. Same principle as in how the rich get richer faster.

Not answered: most land mass has more than +1C, Germany in summer can be +3C, places in the Adriatic sea +5C this August.
So do we apply the 7%-rule to the local deviation from the normal in order to express or to guage the water hunger of the air in this particular parcel?
And also, what happens when the wind drives one parcel away after it drank its fill from soil, plants, water bodies, and a new parcel comes in, heats up to the local deviation, drinks its fill, and moves. I mean, shouldn't the inner continents be all dried up by now?
Or maybe the act of evaporation cools the place enough for a new parcel that moves in, to be sufficiently shocked into raining down what it had sucked up elsewhere...hm.
Anyway. Good documentary!

#NateHagens new podcast episode with #Rockström ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaboF3vAsZs

Good questions by Nate, intermediate level answers by Rockström. About the 9 #PlanetaryBoundary , a bit about the 16 tipping elements, the inter-connectedness of it all. I hope, especially techies give this episode a go. Because: phasing out fossil fuels is not enough to successfully combat #ClimateChange . We do need a healthy planet to do this. An Earth system that helps us buffering the stress we caused by GHG.
Novel Entities kill biodiversity = land carbon sink functions less well. Nitrogen overload from fertilizer kills lakes and the Baltic Sea, also a carbon sink.
And so on.
We urgently do need to get back into and then stay within all planetary boundaries. PV and wind turbines aren't enough to tackle the #PlanetaryEmergency 🙂

@hvlint #Heat and #cropfailure combined with #pandemic ( #COVID19 , #H5N1 , #unknown ) adding #war and #logistical #breakdowns might do the trick ... this is a map of planetary boundaries (#Rockstrom e.a.) being transgressed ... South Asia and South East Asia seem at very high risk ...

Sieben von acht Grenzen des Erdsystems sind überschritten

Sieben von acht Grenzen des Erdsystems sind überschritten
Wie muss die Menschheit ihre Zukunft gestalten, damit möglichst alle gut leben können? Forschende haben dazu die Grenzen des Erdsystems definiert, gemessen an Artenvielfalt, Nährstoffen, Wasser, Klima – und: Gerechtigkeit.
