In unserem Appell* an die #HRK hatten wir darauf hingewiesen:
„Die summierten Gewinne von Facebook/Meta, Alphabet/Google, TikTok usw. wuchsen in den letzten Jahren in die Größenordnung von 100 Mrd. Euro, was mit den Staatshaushalten mittelgroßer Staaten vergleichbar ist. Statt in Privathand werden die Gelder viel dringender zur Lösung gesellschaftlicher Aufgaben in den Ländern benötigt, in denen sie anfallen. Die Konzerne tragen zur Spaltung der Gesellschaften in #ArmundReich bei und konterkarieren die UN-Ziele für #nachhaltigeEntwicklung, die den Abbau von Einkommensungleichheiten fordern.“

Nun richtet @Attac eine Petition an den #DeutschenBundestag für eine Re-Aktivierung der #Vermögenssteuer:

The worst of it is tt while the #official #UN goal is to have 30% of the world’s #oceans in ‘maritime protected areas’ by 2030, most of those #MPAs still allow #bottom #trawling."

GWYNNE DYER: How David Attenborough's film will get bottom trawling banned

Bottom trawling is a destructive industry, says Gwynne Dyer, and David Attenborough's film Ocean clearly shows why it needs to end

Africa: 'Safe Futures Start Here' - UN Calls for Global Action to Eliminate Mine Threat: [UN News] More than 100 million people worldwide are at risk from landmines, explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) Secretary-General António Guterres said on Friday, in his message for the International Day for Mine Awareness. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TK0S5n #MineAwareness #GlobalAction #SafetyFirst #UNSDG #Peacekeeping

What difference does it make in 2050 whether it's 1.5 or 2C?
I often forget what the bland line charts we see regarding global heating actually mean.

A cool video abstract shows the impacts and the differences https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aabf45 , by Byers et al 2018.

The tables in chapter 3 IPCC SpecialReport1.5 https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/
are based on their analysis. Those show number of people in 2050 exposed to and exposed&vulnerable to multiple climate threats on three Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, SSP.
We're on SSP3, meaning no international solidarity, high poverty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Socioeconomic_Pathways#SSP3:_Regional_rivalry_(A_Rocky_Road)

And "vulnerable" is defined as living on less than 10 US$ a day.

For example, table 3.4 states the impacts to crop yield change from 1.5C versus 2C, on a kind SSP1 versus unkind SSP3 in year 2050:

1.5C exposed to threat
kind SSP1: 32mio
unkind: 36mio
2C exposed to threat
kind : 330mio
unkind: 396

1.5C exposed and vulnerable to threat in millions of people:
kind : 2
unkind: 20
2C exposed and vulnerable to threat:
kind : 24
unkind: 178

Or look at table 3.53:
number of people exposed to water scarcity in 2050 on a 2C pathway increases 100% compared to 1.5C. Regions impacted particularly highly:
Europe, Australia, Southern Africa.

The species range loss "doubles or triples" from 1.5C to 2C. Regions impacted particularly highly:
Europe, Amazon, Southern Africa.

Solidarity is key in holding together the fabric of our complex tech civilisation under climate stress.

Ja, das schon. Stimmt. Sonne und Wind führen keinen Krieg mit uns. Obschon ihre Bombadierungen auch Verwüstungen verursachen. Doch die haben wir zu einem Gutteil selbst provoziert.

Im Text steht allerdings, dass bestehende #LNG Exportmengen weiter erlaubt bleiben. Nur wachsen solle der Export nicht.
Mit der EU gäbe es gesonderte Vereinbarungen.

Weniger Profit machen die Firmen deshalb wohl nicht. Spekulanten werden die Preise anheizen. Und wachsender Bedarf wegen dem Irrweg WiRTSchafTSWachSTUM!!11!! und wegen dem Irrweg "Gas als Brücke" wird Gas und #LNG zusätzlich verteuern.

Und gerade armen Staaten sagt man, sie sollen ruhig langsamer auf Sonne- und Windenergie umstellen...gerade denen muss man hurtig PV und Turbinen hinstellen, damit sie endlich befreit werden aus den Klauen des heiligen Marktes und den Klauen der Globalen Schachspieler. Energieautarkie ist bei Armutsbekämpfung die halbe Miete #UNSDG

#ClimateJustice: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change “shows that the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, #UNSDG, are not achievable by continuing the current fossil-driven high emission economies. [There are] massive co-benefits that come with changing to a fossil-free world”.
