Die weltweit erste Konferenz zum Ausstieg aus fossilen Brennstoffen hat begonnen.

Der Ausstieg aus fossilen Brennstoffen hat sich vom Bereich des Klimaschutzes in den Mittelpunkt der Weltwirtschaft verlagert, wo er nicht lÀnger ignoriert werden kann.

Beavers Are Ecosystem Engineers—and They Might Be Helpful Allies in the Fight Against Human-Caused Climate Change.

New research suggests that wetlands created by the industrious rodents are carbon sinks, meaning they store a lot of heat-trapping carbon dioxide—the human-produced gas largely responsible for today’s global warming. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

"The world’s first fossil fuel phaseout conference has begun.

Fossil fuel phaseout has moved from climate advocacy to the center of the global economy, where it can no longer be ignored."

Fossil Fuel Phaseout Talks Begin With Half The Global Economy

The world’s first fossil fuel phaseout conference gathers 57 countries representing over 50% of global GDP, signaling a major shift in climate policy, energy security and global markets.

Forbes

An F-16 in combat consumes as much fuel in one hour as the average American driver uses in three years. Forty-two F-117 fighter jets flying 1,300 combat sorties — the figure for the first month of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 — produce 52 billion pounds of carbon pollution."

To match that output, a Boeing 747 would need to make more than 100,000 round trips between LAX and JFK. At 40 commercial flights a day, that’s almost seven years’ worth of aviation — for a few weeks of one war.

These are not anomalies. This is the ordinary metabolism of modern American warfare. The U.S. Department of Defense purchases and consumes more petroleum than any other single institution on Earth.

And yet, today as yesterday, there is one familiar justification for deploying the U.S. military in pursuit of greater access to foreign oil: security. Protecting a way of life. But what does any way of life — American or otherwise — depend upon first but an atmosphere and biome capable of providing food, air, water and shelter?
