Entscheidung über EU-Klimaziel 2040 wird verschoben

Ökonomen warnten vor Bremsmanöver, in Brüssel und Wien gingen Klimaschützer auf die Straße. Das Signal der Verschiebung könnte über Europas Grenzen hinweg wirken

Ostie que le spin de radio-canne me tombe sur les nerfs.

Ils tentent d'amoindrir les propos de David Suzuki qui vient de déclarer (à tort ou à raison) qu'il était trop tard.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/david-suzuki-climate-change-1.7582418

ce qui me choque c'est leur erratum au bas de l'article: "On s'excuse, on avait écrit que l'Accord de Paris était foutu mais dépasser 1.5C pendant 12 mois ne veut pas dire qu'il est nécessairement foutu."

Bin non, connard! on est en 2025 et c'était une limite prévue pour 2100!

David Suzuki says it may be too late to solve climate crisis, but communities can still take action | CBC News

The Canadian environmentalist says it's too late to solve the climate crisis, especially through legal, political and economic channels. Instead, Suzuki says he believes the future of the movement depends on trying to spur action in local communities.

> fails to agree timeline for seventh assessment report

The timeline they're failing on for all of these global climate meetings is that of the meeting itself. If it takes 2 or 3 weeks, take the time, but do not leave until there is agreenent. What is there waiting that is more important?

Reality cannot be scheduled. It must be taken on the timeline it offers. If that doesn't align with budget cycles, tough.

Is it too much civil disobedience to ask that these folks just sit still and run overtime as needed to get their job done? What's the worst that could happen? Well, funny you should ask, because that's the exact topic of these very meanings...

The arguments made, and the article upthread is super helpful for laying them out (so I recommend reading it), amount to some people (i.e., national.representatives) with no apparent sense of the urgency arguing that "perfect is a friend of the good", it "just" requires more time--as if there's any to be had.

I'm sorry, even without their all-important report, it's obvious what the problem is: a lack of sense of the incredibly high risk of delay.

Stay until everyone sees it.

Bar the doors if need be.

There is no extra time, no time to plan comfortably, no time to get every detail right.

There is only now, and the too real possibility of no tomorrow.

#Verdrängungsgesellschaft, that’s very good. Also because Verdrängung is actually a better word than denial: that you are just pushing things to the side (a phenomenon I recognise well in myself). I don’t know if there is a true English translation for it; displacement and delay don’t quite capture it for me, either. #ClimateDenial #ClimateDelay
#ClimateDiary

An interesting takeaway from the English Local Elections was that candidates supporting Net Zero and stronger environmental policies did better than the pro mass motoring and climate denial/delay candidates.

It is odd that so much of the media don't want to report this, could it possibly have anything to do with the £2bn a year that the motor industry spends on advertising?

Internal documents revealed by committee show companies lobbied against climate laws they publicly claimed to support.

OK, so what is going to be done about it? We know there is a problem, but still aren't taking the actions needed. Firstly, stop all fossil carbon extraction. NOW!
