Many new emission reduction announcements have been presented lately. Here is a sobering reminder to put things in context...

"Another variant is when we create and foster a sick economy which allows a very rich few to own more than the rest of humanity and models of production and consumption destroy the planet, our common home.
These things are interconnected."

As CO2 emissions stay in the atmosphere up to 1000years we of course need to look at historic emissions and in context to population and emissions per capita. And developed nation must lead so others can raise their living standards. As I say all the time.

Well, I don’t know about you but I don’t consider ”climate targets” putting us on track for 2,4°C and current policies indicating we’re headed for 2,9°C (excluding most tipping points, feedback-loops etc) to be ”good”.

To be crystal clear: I am not “against” Israel or Palestine. Needless to say I’m against any form of violence or oppression from anyone or any part. And again - it is devastating to follow the developments in Israel and Palestine.

"Anticipating future large-scale removals allows for more gradual decarbonization and thereby reduces pressure on near-term emission reduction action."
It's very hopeful that this debate is getting more attention and that the awareness is increasing.
