Enabling climate acceleration are economic sectors such as land use, China coal, Saudi Aramco, Coal India, Gazprom (Russia), National Iranian Oil — in that order.
Since 2021, China coal sends more carbon in the air than NATO equities and Arab states combined. The China coal sector is increasing capacity and is delivering 12.7 GtCOe in 2024.

Scientists: Please read, share and sign: >>As scientists, researchers, and experts in our field, we are writing to emphasize the acute nature of the climate crisis, and
to urge Citi to adopt a policy excluding financing for fossil fuel expansion, particularly for projects and activities that
pollute Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other frontline communities. The financial industry must recognize the physical harms and economic risks it is exacerbating by enabling fossil fuel expansion, and rapidly adopt new policies that align with a safer climate future.
The increasing urgency of the climate crisis is undeniable. 2023 was by far the hottest year on record, continuing a trend of the last 10 years being the hottest decade. People around the world were affected by deadly wildfires, floods, droughts, and storms. The United States experienced the highest-ever annual number of billion-dollar plus disasters, many of which bear the fingerprints of climate change. Already, climate catastrophes are wreaking havoc on lives, health, infrastructure, ecosystems, and economies throughout the world—with those who have the fewest resources and who have done the least to contribute to the problem being most severely harmed. The science is clear that climate impacts will be significantly worse if we do not make deep, rapid cuts to heat-trapping emissions, phase out fossil fuels, and pursue a just transition to a clean energy system. According to the 2024 Banking on Climate Chaos report, Citi is the second-largest financier of fossil fuels since the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement, having poured $396 billion into the industry since 2016.

‼️ Check out our new paper "Limited understanding of basic ocean processes is hindering progress in marine carbon dioxide removal" led by Phil Boyd. (1/4)
These methods are often promoted without a proper understanding of the marine carbon cycle and the processes needed for successful upscaling. This lack of knowledge threatens the validity of carbon offset initiatives. Additionally, focusing solely on CO2 removal overlooks the many non-climatic benefits of ocean-based approaches, which can exceed their CO2 capture capabilities.
Looks like global CO2 emissions finally peaked. Good. But no time to lose: onwards to a rapid descent!

Key Findings of Oil Change International's "Big #Oil Reality Check" - Oil majors fail to align with international agreements to phase out #FossilFuels and to limit global temperature rise to 1.5ºC ... Combined, 8 ('oil majors') companies’ current oil and #gas extraction plans are consistent with more than 2.4°C of global temperature rise, likely leading to global devastation."
...
Every company is “Grossly Insufficient” or “Insufficient” on a majority of criteria.
Three companies (Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil) are “Grossly Insufficient” — our lowest rating — on all criteria.
These 8 companies alone are on track to use 30% of our remaining carbon budget to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
Of the 8 analyzed companies, 6 have explicit goals to increase oil and gas production. Even those without such plans are advancing new #FossilFuel projects and selling polluting assets rather than shutting them down, masking their actions as contributing to an energy transition while perpetuating #climate pollution.
Integrity: None of the companies we analyzed have set comprehensive targets to ensure their total emissions decline rapidly and consistently, starting now. Every company intends to rely on carbon capture and storage (CCS), offsets, and/or other methods that delay and distract from ending fossil fuels, and prolong the health and community safety impacts of dirty energy.
People-Centered Transitions: All companies fail to meet basic criteria for just transition plans for workers and communities where they operate. All companies fail to meet basic criteria on upholding human rights."
Liebe Medien, könnt ihr seit über 100 Jahren etablierte Fakten bitte einfach als Fakten berichten?
Nicht: „Als ein wesentliches Treibhausgas gilt CO2,“ wie ich gerade im RBB höre.
Sondern: „Ein wesentliches Treibhausgas ist CO2.“
Sonst klingt es als wisst ihr das nicht.
@rahmstorf #Treibhausgas#CO2
Gerade im Zeitalter der #Enshittification ist es wichtig, unumstössliche Fakten von Fiktion und #FakeNews zu unterscheiden.
Nicht nur in d.Juristerei, sondern auch in der (Natur)Wissenschaft ist eine präzise Ausdrucksweise unabdingbar.
Insbesondere von professionellen Journalisten kann man dies verlangen.
Zudem sollten in der breiten Öffentlichkeit noch unbekannte Leistungen wie die von #EuniceFoote zum Treibhauseffekt viel bekannter werden https://mastodon.social/@HistoPol/112076615648963689

"It has driven me crazy in the past six years that governments are just oblivious to history" - Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’"

"The race to save the #planet is being impeded by a global #economy that is contingent on the #exploitation of #people and #nature, according to the UN’s outgoing leading environment and #HumanRights expert.
David Boyd, who served as #UN special rapporteur on human rights and the #environment from 2018 to April 2024, told the #Guardian that states failing to take meaningful #ClimateAction and regulating polluting industries could soon face a slew of lawsuits.
Boyd said: “I started out six years ago talking about the right to a healthy environment having the capacity to bring about systemic and transformative changes. But this powerful human right is up against an even more powerful force in the global economy, a system that is absolutely based on the exploitation of people and nature. And unless we change that fundamental system, then we’re just re-shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.”

Boyd said: “The failure to take a human rights based approach to the #ClimateCrisis – and the #biodiversity crisis and the air #pollution crisis – has absolutely been the achilles heel of those efforts for decades.

BREAKING (the climate):
Based on daily values, the April average of atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa was 426.5-426.6 ppm. That's a big jump of ~3.2 ppm from last year's 423.35 ppm!
It's also the highest CO₂ concentration the world has experienced in 14 million years.

Between 2016 and 2022, #China, through #coal burning, was responsible for 25.79% of global #CO2 emissions. (And another 3.21% from cement manufacture). Even looked at historically (between 1854 and 2022), Chinese coal is responsible for 14% of global CO2 emissions over this 168 year period.

If you think all the little things we ordinary mortals do are the driver of #ClimateChange, think again - "Just 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas #emissions since 2016
Analysis reveals many big producers increased output of fossil fuels and related emissions in seven years after Paris climate deal
A mere 57 #oil, #gas, #coal and #cement producers are directly linked to 80% of the world’s #GreenhouseGas#GHG emissions since the 2016 #Paris climate agreement, a study has shown.
This powerful cohort of state-controlled corporations and shareholder-owned multinationals are the leading drivers of the climate crisis, according to the Carbon Majors Database, which is compiled by world-renowned researchers."
...
"During this period, the biggest investor-owned contributor to emissions was #ExxonMobil of the #UnitedStates, which was linked to 3.6 gigatonnes of CO2 over seven years, or 1.4% of the global total. Close behind were #Shell, #BP, #Chevron and #TotalEnergies, each of which was associated with at least 1% of global emissions."
