Warning that cost of failure to meet climate targets could hit €8bn by 2030

The figure is the cost of buying carbon credits to make up for failing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with EU regulations, and making other compensatory payments for failing to meet EU renewable energy targets

Two photos, side by side. The first shows a factory seen at a distance, spewing smoky pollution (likely including CO2) into the air. Second photo shows a well-dressed woman walking across the tarmac toward a private jet, with three uniformed crew members waiting to greet her.


Colorful drawing by Nat Morley of a large and growing "tree" of life, a tree with leaves of all different kinds, and with many types of animals perched on the branches, including foxes, moose, parrots, squirrels, skunks, wolves, pandas, ostriches, cardinals, bears, goats, giraffes, kangaroos, penguins, cheetahs, and owls, among others. At the base of the tree are two humans, wielding axes, chopping deeply into the trunk, leaving the tree almost ready to come crashing down.


This great graphic from the IPCC via Sarah Colenbrander is a tough, tough reminder of the temperature increases future generations on this planet are facing.

We’re in a #ClimateEmergency!

This is not just relevant to “the others” – #Denmark is a textbook example of irresponsible #climate policy. 1/n 🧵

Drought caused 43,000 ‘excess deaths’ in Somalia last year, half of them young children

There have now been six consecutive failed rainy seasons in the climate crisis-induced drought, which coincides with global food price rises, intensified insecurity in some regions, and the aftermath of the pandemic

Climate: Italy will have to cut 43.7% emissions by 2030

With the FitFor55 climate package, the EU has proposed an increase in the overall reduction effort from 30 to 40%. The objective has not been modified either by the EU Council or by the Eurochamber. For Italy, the reduction constraint thus increases from 33% to 43.7%

Three quarters of institutional investors include fossil fuel bans in their climate policies

A new report has found that net zero investments in Australia have made “encouraging progress”, but more needs to be done if the country is to hit its 2030 decarbonisation milestones

Coffee could disappear from shelves by 2050 as climate change concerns grow

Global fossil fuel subsidies reach all-time high of $1 trillion in 2022, up two-fold against 2021

When split further, the subsidies for natural gas and electricity consumption had more than doubled as against 2021 and oil subsidies rose 85 percent during the same time. Most of the subsidies were given in emerging markets and developing economies as well

Canada under pressure to ban deep-sea mining as global ocean summit starts in Vancouver

Carbon emissions from Australia’s ‘Dirty Dozen’ more than half Pacific Islands’ emissions

Des d'Irlanda fins a Croàcia, i des de l'Àrtic fins al mar Mediterrani, Europa va veure exemples de temperatures i temps extrem el 2022. Experts adverteixen que aquesta podria ser la nova normalitat.

S'ha calculat que hi va haver més de 20.000 morts en excés a l'estiu passat a Europa com a conseqüència de les temperatures inusualment altes.

Desembre de 2022 Europa va ser 0,9 graus centígrads per sobre de la mitjana de 1991-2020.

Emissions divide now greater within countries than between them – study

This has profound consequences for climate action, as it shows that people on low incomes within developed countries are contributing less to the climate crisis, while rich people in developing countries have much bigger carbon footprints than was previously acknowledged

Descobrir la sopa d'all :bl48:

Un estudi explica ara que les persones amb ingressos baixos dels països desenvolupats contribueixen menys a la crisi climàtica que les persones riques dels països en desenvolupament.

L'informe també diu que la diferència entre les emissions de carboni dels rics i dels pobres dintre d'un mateix país és més gran que les diferències d'emissions entre països rics i pobres.

En resum "un grup relativament petit" de persones riques de tota mena de països contribueix de manera desproporcionada a les emissions globals.
