"A growing number of scientific studies estimate that, within the next fifty years, climate harms could become, in the words of FFC researchers themselves, “globally catastrophic,” endangering significant proportions of humanity." https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4335779

Since 1990, the top 1% has been responsible for more emissions than half the world's population.Climate policies that do not directly address these excess emissions of the top 1% are not only ineffective, but entrench neocolonial inequalities. #degrowthhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-022-00955-z

This is an important sign in a situation, where emissions from private jets are still growing---RT @MGSchmelzerPrivate jets are unacceptable in a climate emergency. Collectively set limits to reduce emissions fast must start with the excess emissions of the rich. Ban private jets now. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/30/private-jet-flights-in-europe-soar-to-record-levels-stoking-climate-fears.htmlhttps://twitter.com/MGSchmelzer/status/1641334749053558785

"The solutions – wind, solar, trees, energy saving & methane cuts – require no new technology. But what they do require is a resource heavily lacking so far: the political will to push aside vested interests & rapidly pursue the policies that will work."https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/20/down-to-earth-ipcc-emissions

Wow. Ein Viertel (!) der Bevölkerung denkt, Wissenschaftler übertreiben die Risiken des #Klimawandel mit Absicht – so eine repräsentative Befragung der @FESonline. Tatsächlich ist eher das Gegenteil der Fall, Prognosen strukturell konservativ.https://www.fes.de/studie-vertrauen-in-demokratie

Within capitalism, insurers withdrawing from high-risk areas around wildfires and floods is a sure sign that the climate crisis is escalating.Capital produces the climate emergency, but will do everything not to pay for it.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/climate-change-is-destabilizing-insurance-industry/

“Just as the U.S. economy was overexposed to mortgage risk in 2008, the economy today is over exposed to climate risk", so PLC President Eric Andersen to a Senate committee.The stakes, however, are much larger regarding the #ClimateEmergency.

Eine dramatische Folge der "ausgewogenen" pro-contra Berichterstattung zu Klima:"38 Prozent der Deutschen sind der Auffassung, Wissenschaftler_innen seien in der Frage, ob der Klimawandel menschengemacht sei, in zwei etwa gleich große Lager gespalten."

Degrowth formuliert angesichts sich zuspitzender ökologischer Krisen transformative Politiken, die Klimaungerechtigkeit angehen, kurzum: eine ökologische Klassenpolitik im Kapitalozän.
