Corporations invested in #carbon offsets that were ‘likely junk’, analysis says

source: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/30/corporate-carbon-offsets-credits

#Delta, #Gucci, #Volkswagen, #ExxonMobil, #Disney, #easyJet and #NestlĂ© are among the major corporations to have purchased millions of carbon credits from #climate friendly projects that are “likely junk” or worthless when it comes to offsetting their #greenhouse gas #emissions, according to a classification #system developed by Corporate Accountability, a non-profit, transnational corporate watchdog.

So the capitalists really don't give a shit about anything for short-term #profit, even if #humanity is destroyed in the process.

'A Pause Isn't Enough': Biden to Reportedly Halt LNG Buildout
OLIVIA ROSANE
Jan 24, 2024

..."#climate advocates and Louisiana residents have been mobilizing against the buildout of LNG infrastructure, with a sit-in planned at the DOE headquarters in Washington, D.C. for February. If approved, activists have noted, CP2 would emit 20 times more #greenhouse gas #emissions than the controversial Willow oil drilling project, and the more than 20 LNG export facilities planned for the U.S. Gulf Coast would release more climate #pollution each year than the European Union.

"Biden's action shows two things," Oil Change International's U.S. Program Manager Allie Rosenbluth said in a statement about the reported delay. "One, the marches, petitions, and grassroots organizing from frontline communities and their allies are working. And two, Biden is afraid that his climate hypocrisy will cost him the election if he doesn't make real progress on fossil fuels."
...
"If it's true, and I think it is, this is the biggest thing a U.S. president has ever done to stand up to the fossil fuel industry," McKibben said.

Jamie Henn, the director of Fossil Free Media, told Common Dreams that "if this reporting is correct, it's a major win in the fight against fossil fuels."

"This decision would stop nearly 20 new LNG facilities, representing 675 coal-fired power plants of emissions, dead in their tracks," Henn said.

Jean Su, director of the the Center for Biological Diversity's Energy Justice program said, "We would welcome the Biden administration pausing the monstrous, climate-killing CP2 project, but a pause isn't enough."

"Growing national pressure from youth and frontline communities to end fossil fuel expansion got us here. Now the administration needs to go the full nine yards and reject CP2 and all new oil and gas projects. To preserve a livable planet, we need a public interest test that denies any new project that would drive us further into climate catastrophe and violate U.S. commitments to transition away from fossil fuels."...

Quantifying Global #Greenhouse Gas #Emissions in Human Deaths to Guide #Energy #Policy

source: https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/16/16/6074

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.

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...

The Great Palm House (VIenna)

Impressive inside and out. Known also (depending on translation) as the Large, or Great Palm House (US: 'Greenhouse').
With steam,
 

"The Schönbrunn Palm House was the last of its type to be constructed in continental Europe." - Source (see below, pls pora*)

The Palm House is located on the site of the former Dutch Botanical Garden and was erected in 1881/2 to designs by [Emperor] Franz Xaver Segenschmid.
One hundred and thirteen metres long, the Palm House consists of a 28-metre high central pavilion and two lateral pavilions which are three metres lower. Linked by tunnel-like passages, the pavilions contain different climatic zones: a ‘cold’ house to the north, a temperate zone in the central pavilion and a tropical zone in the south pavilion.

In the 1800's.

Carl Sagan testifying before Congress in 1985 on climate change

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp-WiNXH6hI

"We are pouring #carbon #dioxide and other #gases into the #atmosphere with hardly any concern for its long term and #global-effects ... the #solutions to these #problems requires a #perspective that embraces the #planet and the #future because we are all in this #greenhouse #together."

#COP26 - Actionable #Climate #Science for Policymakers

Source: http://berkeleyearth.org/policy-insights/

That is well above the goals of the #Paris climate #agreement and would lead to catastrophic changes in the Earth’s climate. To keep global #warming below 1.5°C this century, the aspirational goal of the Paris Agreement, the world needs to halve annual #greenhouse gas #emissions in the next eight years.

Not a single G20 country is in line with the Paris Agreement on climate

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/09/15/world/climate-pledges-insufficient-cat-intl/index.html

"None of the #world's #major #economies - including the entire #G20 - have a #climate #plan that meets their #obligations under the #2015 #ParisAgreement"
This is of course excluding huge parts of our #emissions and aspect of #equity. Not even then are we on track.

IPCC Sixth Assessment Report ~ 09August2021

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z149vLKn9d8

https://t.co/4t8uyqoLXN

' #Climatechange includes both #global #warming driven by #human-induced #emissions of #greenhouse #gases and the resulting large-scale #shifts in #weather #patterns.'
According to the new #IntergovernmentalPanelOnClimateChange #IPCC #climatereport, the #carbon #budget that gives us the best odds of staying below 1,5°C runs out in less than 5 and a half years at our current #emissions rate. The new report contains no real surprises. It confirms what we already know from thousands of previous studies and reports - that we are in an #emergency. It’s a solid (but cautious) #summary of the current best available science. It doesn't tell us what to do. It is up to us to be brave and take decisions based on the #scientific #evidence provided in these reports. We can still avoid the worst #consequences, but not if we continue like today, and not without treating the #crisis like a crisis.
