"Global coal demand is set for with a 4.5% increase this year, pushing beyond 2019 levels."
So much for "building back better" and a "green recovery"... We are still speeding in the wrong direction. #MindTheGap #BlahBlahBlah #UprootTheSystem reuters.com/business/energ…

"European lawmakers have voted to prolong subsidies for fossil fuel gas until 2027".
A few days ago the EU once again clearly showed their priorities and where they stand when it comes to the climate crisis...

We’ve already emitted 89% of the CO2 budget that gives us a 66% chance of staying below 1,5°C. That’s why historic emissions not only count - they nearly make up the entire climate crisis. And yet they’re still being almost completely ignored by media and people in power. twitter.com/CarbonBrief/st…

”The production and burning of coal, oil and gas was subsidised by $5.9tn in 2020.”
People in power are spending $11 million every minute on practices that destroy our living conditions and life supporting systems.
Ignorance and stupidity defined. theguardian.com/environment/20…

“North China's Inner Mongolia region has told more than 70 mines to boost annual output capacity by nearly 100 million tonnes”
These 100 million tonnes would amount to about 3% of China's total annual thermal coal consumption…

The heavily subsidised energy plant Drax is the biggest single source of CO2 in the UK and third biggest in Europe.
But the emissions are not included in the UK emissions.
This loophole is unfortunately what many international climate targets rely on. 1/3 news.sky.com/story/climate-…

Burning biomass is considered "climate neutral" since the forests eventually absorb the carbon again. But in the timeframe we have for reaching the Paris Agreement - and avoid setting off irreversible feedback loops - this is nowhere near the case. 2/3

"A 2018 study estimated it would take 40-100 years or more for forests to recapture the carbon emissions from burning the wood pellets, if ever, because forests are subject to hazards like disease and fires."
This is one of many loopholes making net zero targets insufficient. 3/3

"2021 is seeing a large rebound in coal and oil use /.../ Largely for this reason, it is also seeing the second‐largest annual increase in CO2 emissions in history.”
Well well, who would have thought...

”1.7C is better than 1.9C which is better than 3C. Cutting emissions tomorrow is better than the day after, because we can always avoid worse happening. The action is far too slow at the moment, but we can still act.”

US coal-fired generation is expected to surge by 22% in 2021”

”World’s governments plan to produce more than twice the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C”.
It can no longer be possible for politicians to get away with ignoring the gap between their words and action.

“We need to remind ourselves that we can still turn this around. It’s entirely possible if we are prepared to change. Hope is all around us.”
I wrote a text about what it will take for the #COP26 to be successful.

Bara 1/3 av Sveriges totala utsläpp omfattas av våra "klimatmål" och vi är inte ens nära att nå de målen. I kvällens #agenda kommer politiker frågas ut om klimatkrisen.
Undrar vilken kris de kommer utgå ifrån. Helheten eller - som alltid - den kris som ignorerar 2/3 av problemet?
648
Frågan som borde ställas är hur vi nånsin ska kunna lösa - eller ens diskutera - en kris som vi fortfarande förnekar och ignorerar den överväldigande majoriteten av?
