Net Zero Roadmap: A Global Pathway to Keep the 1.5 °C Goal in Reach – Analysis - IEA
Net Zero Roadmap: A Global Pathway to Keep the 1.5 °C Goal in Reach - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency.
#StopRosebank:
“Research shows that even beyond stopping oil and gas expansion, 60% of fossil fuels in existing fields must stay in the ground to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.”

A day after IEA calls for no new oil & gas development, UK approves vast Rosebank oil field - Oil Change International
Barely is the ink dry on the IEA’s report which called for no new oil and gas development, and yet today, the UK Government gave the go-ahead to the huge Rosebank oil field, which is seen as the UK’s last untapped oil field.
1000-Ton Rule:
“Several studies are consistent with the “1000-ton rule,” according to which a future person is killed every time 1000 tons of fossil carbon are burned.”

Quantifying Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Human Deaths to Guide Energy Policy
When attempting to quantify future harms caused by carbon emissions and to set appropriate energy policies, it has been argued that the most important metric is the number of human deaths caused by climate change. Several studies have attempted to overcome the uncertainties associated with such forecasting. In this article, approaches to estimating future human death tolls from climate change relevant at any scale or location are compared and synthesized, and implications for energy policy are considered. Several studies are consistent with the “1000-ton rule,” according to which a future person is killed every time 1000 tons of fossil carbon are burned (order-of-magnitude estimate). If warming reaches or exceeds 2 °C this century, mainly richer humans will be responsible for killing roughly 1 billion mainly poorer humans through anthropogenic global warming, which is comparable with involuntary or negligent manslaughter. On this basis, relatively aggressive energy policies are summarized that would enable immediate and substantive decreases in carbon emissions. The limitations to such calculations are outlined and future work is recommended to accelerate the decarbonization of the global economy while minimizing the number of sacrificed human lives.
1.5 °C:
“Some research groups tracking average annual temperatures in isolation are already predicting 1.5 °C of warming this year.”

Earth’s average 2023 temperature is now likely to reach 1.5 °C of warming
But to breach the Paris agreement’s limit, the heating must be sustained for many years.
Protest Map:
As well as pinpointing the countries where protesters suffer abuse and the kind of threats they face, the map also details current legislation, relevant UN publications, international court judgements and explains how people can take action.

Hannah Arend:
“Hope is dehumanising because it turns people away from this world.”

For Arendt, hope in dark times is no match for action | Aeon Essays
For Hannah Arendt, hope is a dangerous barrier to courageous action. In dark times, the miracle that saves the world is to act
Adults:
“We see very few parents at all. We look at all the passionate […] students striking for a liveable future and ask ourselves, where are their parents? Their grandparents? Where are their teachers, their coaches, all the adults who love them?”

March to End Fossil Fuels: Youth Activists Need Parents, Families to Join the Movement
The March to End Fossil Fuels on September 17 is organized by young people. But parents, educators and other adults need to show up too.
Offsetting:
“Many, if not most, offset credits traded on the market today do not represent real emissions reductions. This failure squanders funds, good will, and precious time when real decarbonisation could not be more urgent. ”

Open Letter:
“At what point will you say enough is enough and demand action from your government? A Government that is planning to “max out the UK’s oil and gas reserves”, an action that will result in the deaths of countless millions while demanding that you detain those lawfully seeking to halt the mass murder.”

The climate crisis is here and now. Just this week in Libya 10,000 people were swept into the sea as an atmospheric river dumped 10cm of rain in just 3 days, while in Greece last week the same storm event turned rivers into raging torrents leaving 700km2 underwater and half the country cut off as
