Under current policies, the planet will heat up by 2.7C on average by the end of the century compared with preindustrial times, the report by Climate Action Tracker (CAT) found. This is up slightly from a prediction of 2.6C in the group’s analysis conducted last year. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint

As the world heads towards a major overshoot of global temperature thresholds (and more environmental volatility) perhaps the real reason for state (relative) inaction is an underlying belief that there is more money to be made from adaptive measures/technology than from a green transition? Or of course, the fossil fuels industry, led by old men (mostly) & invested in by older people, just thinks the chaos won't start until they're long gone? #ClimateChange #politics

"Volgens de VN-topman is de prijs van benzine in 130 landen met zo'n 26 procent gestegen sinds de oorlog, en die van diesel 38 procent. "Families, bedrijven en regeringen betalen daarvoor de prijs. Ondertussen liggen negen oliemaatschappijen op koers om meer dan 95 miljard euro binnen te harken in drie maanden tijd. Dat is meer dan een miljard per dag." https://nos.nl/artikel/2638922-vn-chef-haalt-op-klimaattop-uit-naar-megawinsten-die-oliebedrijven-binnenharken #VN #fossil #AntónioGuterres #klimaattop #climatechange

Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Vanuatu joined Australia by endorsing the rooftop solar declaration in the Turkish resort town of Antalya, where COP31 is being co-hosted by Turkey and Australia. Lawmakers from 21 other countries — including the United Kingdom, South Africa and Sri Lanka — have also endorsed it. So has Indonesia's state-owned electric power company Perusahaan Listrik Negara https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/at-un-climate-talks-5-nations-back-plan-to-double-rooftop-solar-panels-by-2030 #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
