We're grateful today to Andrew Dana Hudson for these generous words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. “Thoughtful and funny, tender and bracing ... An essential text for any solarpunk’s bookshelf!”
What are you grateful for this first Monday of spring?

#ClimateFutures: From 10-12 September,
@daad_germany brought together global experts for the Global Centres Conference.
#GIGA's Christiane Fröhlich was a key contributor and moderated the opening panel on this crucial topic.

This solar-powered 10-seater electric boat has infinite range
The Solar Sal 24 is a recreational electric boat that has enough solar power from its canopy to offer unlimited range.
ElectrekHere's a clear write-up by @hausfath on the current state of global CO2 emissions. The good news is that the world is clearly emitting less than the "worst cases" scenario of a decade ago.
"Flattening the curve of global emissions is only the first step in a long road to get it all the way down to zero."

So where might we be headed instead?

#Hamburg #ClimateFutures #Outlook https://www.cliccs.uni-hamburg.de/results/hamburg-climate-futures-outlook/fact-sheets.html is to systematically analyze & assess plausibility of certain well-defined climate futures based on present knowledge of social drivers & physical processes. In particular, we assess the plausibility of those climate futures that are envisioned by 2015 Paris Agreement, namely holding global warming to well below 2°C & if possible, to 1.5°C, relative to pre-industrial levels. Not going to happen. Action needed now.
Cannot repeat often enough, these data keep getting back-benched. Society isn’t changing fast enough to stop the

Series In the annual Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook, CLICCS researchers make the first systematic attempt to assess which climate futures are plausible, by combining multidisciplinary assessments of plausibility. Current Issue The purpose of this second Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook is to systematically analyze and assess the plausibility of certain well-defined climate futures based on present knowledge of social drivers and physical processes. In particular, we assess the plausibility of those climate futures that are envisioned by the 2015 Paris Agreement, namely holding global warming to well below 2°C and, if possible, to 1.5°C, relative to pre-industrial levels (UNFCCC 2015, Article 2 paragraph 1a). The world will have to reach a state of deep decarbonization by 2050 to be compliant with the 1.5°C goal. We therefore work with a climate future scenario that combines emissions and temperature goals.
