@rahmstorf - I'm personally committing to peaking my alcohol consumption no later than 2035.
@benmsanderson @rahmstorf working up to it. Practice practice practice
@rahmstorf this meme is outstanding
Man announces he will quit drinking by 2050

He has assured friends it will not affect his drinking plans in the short or medium term.

@rahmstorf

I hope there are not any tipping points in his system...

@rahmstorf den #Alkoholkonsum insgesamt weiter zu senken bis 2050 klänge ja gar nicht so doof, mit vielen Maßnahmen wie:
- alkoholfreier Sport / Stadien
- höhere Besteuerung
- Werbeverbot usw.

Wir setzen uns übrigens für ein rauchfreies Berlin bis 2040 ein, vor allem für Gesundheit und Klimaschutz, und fordern
- rauchfreie Clubs
- rauchfreie Außenterrassen
- höhere Besteuerung von Tabakprodukten
- rauchfreie öffentliche Gebäude/Krankenhäuser, inkl Eingangsbereiche
#rauchfrei

@berlinrauchfrei 2040? Wie man bei uns in Österreich sagt: nur net hudeln.
@Haubentaucher Na komplett rauchfrei für alle von heute auf morgen wäre wohl aktuell nicht mehrheitsfähig, daher abgestuftes Vorgehen

@rahmstorf This is perfect! Thanks for posting it!

In the interest of accessibility, I’m reposting and calling in @PleaseCaption @theimagecaptioner — one of these promised to re-re-post the image with an autogenerated caption. The other will nag me that I should have done it myself 🙂

@ArneBab @rahmstorf @PleaseCaption @theimagecaptioner I'm lazy too but just used Google Lens for optical character recognition for you:

Man announces he will quit drinking by 2050
Image of grey haired man holding a beer

A Sydney man has set an ambitious target to phase out his alcohol consumption within the next 28 years, as part of an impressive plan to improve his health.

The program will see Greg, 73, continue to drink as normal before reducing consumption in 2049 when he turns 101. Taylor said it was important not to rush the process: "It's not realistic to transition to zero alcohol overnight. This requires a phased approach", he said, adding that whisky drinkers were the real problem. Greg is lobbying for additional investments in beer to maintain beer supply-chain security.

Greg will be able to bring forward drinking credits earned from the days he hasn't drunk over the past forty years, enabling him to reach net-zero but keep drinking. To assist with the transition, he has bought a second beer fridge which he describes as the 'capture and storage' method. He is also investing in direct alcohol extraction from blood technology.

@rahmstorf
Seriously,this is a crying matter!😰😽
@rahmstorf only 2050? How optimistic!
@rahmstorf Großartig! Man muss nicht viel lesen und versteht die Misere in 5 Minuten. Oder sogar in 3.

@rahmstorf Yeah. I concluded sometime after the 2000 US Presidential election was stolen by GWB that the political approach was weak and the most viable approach to stop climate change was financial: make fossil-burning unprofitable.

Many have been working on that (including President Gore). Follow the Lazard LCOE numbers for progress.

@rahmstorf Greg’s concerned loved ones are advised to attend mindfulness and resilience training to better ‘radically accept’ the 28 year phase out. #mentalhealth #ecoanxiety
@rahmstorf "verringert den Konsum 2049, wenn er 101 Jahre alt wird"
Das könnte noch ein Witz sein. Im Vereinigten Königreich ist die Notrufnummer 999. Ist es kein Notfall so kann unter 111 medizinische Hilfe erreicht werden und mit 101 die lokale Polizei.
(112 funktioniert ebenfalls als Notrufnummer)
@rahmstorf Das kann doch nicht echt sein, oder?

@rahmstorf

I'm 70, is it to early for me to adopt this plan?

@rahmstorf 👆
absolutely brilliant, hilarious in its anachronism, and too true as a metaphor for how we’re not coming close to addressing climate change seriously enough…
@rahmstorf „direct alcohol extraction from blood technology“ 😂 - alles perfekte Bilder unserer verrückten Lage…
@rahmstorf
It's his own personal cancer moonshot!
@rahmstorf "adding that whiskey drinkers are the real problem."
@rahmstorf Healthy lifestyle advice from down under. 😂😂😂🍻
