I opened the first IPCC report, released in 1990, and copied their scenario graphs for CO2 and CH4 emissions.I marked the latest data with a red dot. Methane emissions in 2022 were 580 Mt and carbon dioxide emissions in 2023 were 40.7 GtCO2 (= 11.09 GtC).Whatever you think about the IPCC you must admit their business-as-usual calculations were pretty robust.#ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #Climate #IPCC

Great, another source of emissions that has been underestimated.The US obviously tops the charts, but other notable mentions are China, Australia and Norway.https://norwegianscitechnews.com/2024/04/big-data-reveals-true-climate-impact-of-worldwide-air-travel/Direct link to study: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ad3a7d#ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateDiary #climate #aviation #USA #China #Australia #Norway

Strong, true words of Max Wilbert.Most environmental discussions nowadays are a carbon-measuring contest of this or that technology.Source: https://www.planetcritical.com/p/bright-green-lies-max-wilbert

@collectifission Nah, #degrowth isn't a fancy label for the hate of industrial civilization, far from it. Adopting degrowth would mean scaling down production of certain industries, but not deindustrialization per se.Most of environmentalism is indeed about "solutions" to very specific problems.
