Landmark UN Climate Change Report: Act Now To Avoid Climate Catastrophe | IFLScience

https://www.iflscience.com/environment/landmark-un-climate-change-report-act-now-to-avoid-climate-catastrophe/

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has unleashed their Special Report on the impact of global warming reaching 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
“This IPCC report is set to outline a rescue plan for humanity,”
“1.5°C is the new 2°C,”
If we stick to Paris Climate Agreement commitments, we could still see a global warming of about 3°C by 2100.

    Why renewables can’t save the planet | Michael Shellenberger | TEDxDanubia
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-yALPEpV4w

    Environmentalists have long promoted renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind farms to save the climate. But what about when those technologies destroy the environment? In this provocative talk, Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment” and energy expert, Michael Shellenberger explains why solar and wind farms require so much land for mining and energy production, and an alternative path to saving both the climate and the natural environment.

    But even I was shocked by how the Q&A of our Dan Pena movie premiere went down. Dan get’s questioned about Global warming and why people like him and Donald Trump simply seem to not care about this issue. Dan responds with his own answer to the question and claims that global warming is a fraud.

    Until now only those who attended the exclusive event saw Dan offer to fight anyone in the room…

    …brand climate change complete bullshit…

    …and predict which countries Trump would soon bomb back to the stone age.

    And now our most explosive conversation ever is available in full.

    Good News on Climate Change! We’re Safe. We’re Adaptable. Six points for Discussion.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np_CHy9ql4M

    Is there a climate crisis? Is there a 97% ‘consensus’ on this? We look at the science and offer six points for your consideration and discussion:
    1) Climate cycles between warm and cold
    2) Warming benefits northern countries
    3) CO2 enhances plant growth and crops
    4) Sea levels change due to many factors
    5) Warm climatic periods have more stable weather
    6) Warming has economic benefits; “Climate Action” would cost more than doing nothing

    Comments:

    a consensus is not Science – it’s politics.

    Positive climate feedback
    https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Positive_climate_feedback

    Positive climate feedback is a process that is one type of climate feedback wherein some initial change in the climate causes some secondary change that in turn increases the effects of the initial change, essentially magnifying the initial effect.[2] Positive climate feedbacks are often discussed in the context of climate change and is one sub-type of positive feedback.

    The Hidden Truth Behind Sweden’s Waste Disposal Infrastructure
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caw-969W-D4

    To Burn or Not to Burn: In Sweden, waste incineration plants convert excess and non-recycled rubbish into energy. The Swedish government classifies this process as recycling, but is this form of waste disposal really sustainable?

    At a waste incineration plant in Västerås, Sweden, sixty tonnes of waste are burnt every hour, converting it into energy for electricity and hot water. Sweden has 34 waste-to-energy furnaces and the country makes over $100 million a year importing and burning waste from other countries. “We see it as a kind of recycling”

    On land, in the seas, in the sky, the devastating impact of humans on nature is laid bare in a compelling UN report.

    One million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction.

    Earth has always suffered from the actions of humans through history, over the past 50 years, these scratches have become deep scars.

    The world’s population has doubled since 1970, the global economy has grown four-fold, while international trade has increased 10 times over.

    To feed, clothe and give energy to this burgeoning world, forests have been cleared at astonishing rates, especially in tropical areas.

    Humans are a plague on the Earth that need to be controlled by limiting population growth, according to Sir David Attenborough.

    The television presenter said that humans are threatening their own existence and that of other species by using up the world’s resources.

    He said the only way to save the planet from famine and species extinction is to limit human population growth.

    “We are a plague on the Earth. It’s coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now,” he told the Radio Times.

    Odottakaa vain – ilmastonmuutos kieltää saunat
    http://www.etn.fi/index.php/13-news/9455-odottakaa-vain-ilmastonmuutos-kieltaa-saunat

    IoT:n, älyrakennusten ja energiansäästön seurassa heräsi väistämätön ajatus: seuraavaksi yritetään ilmastonmuutosta vastustaa kieltämällä sähkösaunat.

    Schneider Electricin esityksissä kuvattiin, millaisia säästöihin tavallisessa asunnossa voidaan päästä, jos sähkönkulutusta ryhdytään seuraamaan reaaliajassa. Silloin voidaan esimerkiksi pesukoneet ja muut sähköteholtaan raskaat laitteet ajastaa toimimaan öiseen aikaan. Näin moni toki jo tekeekin.

    Lauantai-iltaisin sähkönkulutus piikittää monissa kodeissa, kun 4 ja 6 kilowatin kiuas lyödään pariksi tunniksi tai pidemmäksi aikaa päälle. Kiuas on todellinen pahis, sillä sen hyötysuhdetta on vaikea parantaa.

    Nykyisessä mielipideilmastossa voidaankin ennustaa, että jollakin aikataululla kiuas joutuu inkvisiittoreiden tähtäimeen. Maailman 7,7 miljardista ihmisistä suurin osa tulee toimeen ilman saunaa, joten ainakin sitä pitää verottaa ankarasti luksustuotteena.

    Laskelmien mukaan suomalaisten päästöjä pitäisi vähentää jo vuoteen 2030 mennessä 75 prosenttia. Tavoitteen haasteellisuudesta kertoo se, että maiden tähän asti tekemät sitoumukset eivät riitä edes Pariisin sopimuksen mukaisen kahden asteen tavoitteen saavuttamiseen. Sitran laskelmissa Pariisin vielä voimassa olevan tavoitteen saavuttamiseen vaaditaan Suomessa vajaan 60 prosentin vähennys.

    Sitran raportin mukaan suomalaisten hiilijalanjälki vuonna 2017 oli 10,4 hiilidioksidiekvivalenttitonnia (tCO2e) per nenä, vauvasta senioriin.

    Tätä lukua pitäisi ilmastotavoitteiden saavuttamiseksi pienentää seuraavasti:
    Vuoteen 2030 mennessä 2,5 tonniin / nenä
    Vuoteen 2040 mennessä 1,4 tonniin / nenä
    Vuoteen 2050 mennessä 0,7 tonniin / nenä.

    Sitran raportin tavoitelukuihin muunnettuna pelkkä lämmitys aiheutti vuonna 2017 n. 1,9 tonnia (t CO2e) per nenä, vauvasta senioriin.

    Saavutetaanko tavoitteet ohjailemalla ihmisten päätöksiä esim. haittaveroilla niin, että vanha elämäntapa käy mahdottomaksi?

    The Brainwashing of a Nation
    http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-brainwashing-of-nation.html?m=1

    Brainwashing isn’t a secretive event that takes place in hidden rooms. No hypnotists or vials full of chemicals are required. It takes place every day on a massive scale across the United States.

    Brainwashing isn’t magic, but it can look like magic.

    The art and science of brainwashing is well known. We don’t know it because we choose not to.

    Brainwashing happens every day. It doesn’t have to mean a complete transformation of identity. On the simplest level, it means compelling someone to believe something that isn’t true.

    Almost anyone can be compelled to say anything under enough stress. Many can be forced to believe it. The acid test of brainwashing is whether they will retain that belief once fight-or-flight mode passes.

    How do you brainwash a nation?

    Control the national environment, force a crisis on the country, and tap into their fear and guilt. And then you can outlaw planes, cows, skyscrapers, straws, plastic bags and the rest of the Green New Deal.

    The environmental crisis is just one example of how leftist movements can brainwash a Nation.

    Exposing Australia’s recycling lie | 60 Minutes Australia

    There is no doubt Australia is one of the most wasteful nations in the world, so the practice of recycling helps to lessen our guilt. As we drag our bins out for collection each week, we feel like we’re helping the environment. But the reality is that we’re all being conned. Right now, Australia is stuck in an unsightly and worsening recycling crisis. What is being done with plastic waste, the material most people think would be easy to salvage and re-use, is of the greatest concern. As Liam Bartlett discovers, most of it ends up either being buried or worse – exported to countries like Malaysia, a place we are now treating like a garbage bin.

German households pre-sort their garbage into four separate trash cans; yellow for plastics, brown for compost; blue for paper and black for non-recyclables. Since the various plastics are very difficult to separate from one another, most of the material is utilized for energy.

    The new film from VDI Resource Efficiency Center, Recycling plastics – Resource efficiency with an optimized sorting method depicts an improved sorting and processing method for valuable plastics, bringing the plastics life cycle full circle.

    This Environmentalist Says Only Nuclear Power Can Save Us Now
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9AGx2q_F_0

    Michael Shellenberger believes The Green New Deal’s focus on wind and solar is a waste of time and money.

    Calling climate change an existential threat to humanity, congressional Democrats introduced a policy proposal in February called the Green New Deal, which would mandate that 100 percent of U.S. energy production come from “clean, renewable and zero-emission energy sources” like wind and solar by the year 2050.

    But some environmentalists say Green New Dealers are neglecting one obvious source of abundant clean energy already available: Nuclear power, which an accompanying Green New Deal FAQ explicitly states should be phased out alongside fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal.

    “If you want to save the natural environment, you just use nuclear. You grow more food on less land, and people live in cities. It’s not rocket science,” says Shellenberger.
