Today is #EarthOvershootDay 🌍 From today onwards, humanity's demand for ecological resources exceeds what Earth can regenerate in a year. By cutting emissions, accelerating the clean transition, building a competitive #CircularEconomy & protecting natural resources, the EU is helping #MoveTheDate.
When I discuss huge systemic issues, people say "but what I can I do?" When I mention something meaningful you can do immediately, people say (as the replies here show) "but what's the point, in the face of the huge systemic issues?" There are, it seems, plenty of people who want to be helpless.
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · last wk.It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products.

Drugače pa ... podnebni zlom je tukaj. Požari v Franciji in Španiji niso "izjemni dogodek". Tudi nov vročinski val pred nami ne.
Tour de France riders are racing while wildfires burn nearby and spectators are banned from the route. Is this the future we want, for sports, for fans, for all of us? #tourdefrance #heatwave

The famous "Wedges" paper was used repeatedly to shut us up when we argued against the continued use of fossil fuels, and, esp, against carbon capture and storage and the mass use of bioenergy. "But these eminent scientists say ..." Now we learn BP co-authored it. www.propublica.org/article/wedg...
How BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global Policy
BP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.

And we're only scratching the surface. 📊 Our research found that if EU countries invest just one-third of upcoming carbon pricing revenues, they could fund the deployment of up to 100 million heat pumps across Europe. A permanent break-up with fossil fuels 👇

A new study finds that investing just one-third of the Social Climate Fund could subsidise up to 20 million heat pumps across the EU by 2032.

As we face a global energy shock, governments are asking people to drive less, fly less, and turn down their heating - while high-carbon companies are running ads telling us to fill up and fly away. This is a contradiction that people and the planet can’t afford.🧵 www.badverts.org/latest/why-t...
