Carbon emissions now more than double the planetary boundary, analysis finds

Earth is not infinite. Pollution beyond certain levels threatens the climate and ecosystems. To prevent this, scientists have proposed planetary boundaries, defining the safe operating limits of the Earth system. A KAIST research team recalculated climate change and nitrogen pollution using the same standard and found that current carbon emissions already exceed the planet's sustainable limit by more than double.

Vlees maakt zo veel kapot.
….
In just the last 20 years, beef production destroyed global forests the size of California, mostly in the tropics

Through tree loss alone (not including methane or feed crop production), this caused 3x the annual CO2 emissions of the US

It's the cow, not the how

Strong regional trends in extreme weather over the next two decades under high- and low-emissions pathways - Nature Geoscience

Large-ensemble simulations suggest that strong regional trends in precipitation and temperature extremes will be common over the next two decades, even under stringent mitigation measures.

Electric Vehicles Contribute Fewer Emissions Than Gasoline-Powered Cars Over Their Lifetimes - FactCheck.org

Q: Are electric cars really better for the environment than gasoline-powered cars over their lifetimes?  A: Yes. Electric vehicles typically release fewer greenhouse gas emissions than internal combustion engine vehicles during their life cycles, even after accounting for the increased energy required to make their batteries. And their carbon footprints are expected to get smaller in the near future. FULL QUESTION Hi. I have been sent this facebook post regarding Electric car battery information which does not seem factual to me but I would like to know for sure.

While Canada makes gains in almost all sectors at reducing emissions, whatever the lip service, fossil fuels (and opposition resistance) continually increase emissions and disappoint (sufficient for an overall net gain) as offset for the efforts of the rest of Canadians. Then, they blame everyone else.

Climate policy works – but these sectors undercut progress: report

Emissions from oil and gas production and from buildings accounted for 72 per cent of the total increase in emissions, according to a climate change report.
