It’s not a meme. It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact — a fact I wish everyone could accept, take to heart, and use to motivate action!!

Interesting paper in Nature Energy suggesting emissions reductions could come from targeting high-level energy users and we could even increase energy use of low energy users in poverty with negligible impact on emissions.

Takeaway is that high-energy users (often w high income) might need to accept energy use restrictions if we're to hit climate targets. Based on studying 27 countries in Europe.

Also conducted workshops and found a general support for limiting "luxury" energy use and discouraging or banning extensive business travel or family flights for holidays beyond one or two per year.

In a paper published 10 years ago, it was shown that as we emit more CO₂, the ocean will warm up, lose oxygen, and become more acidic.

The only parameter the models disagreed on was whether productivity will decrease.

If someone is surprised by ocean warming, they haven’t been paying attention.
