Podcasts about 5C

Shift Key is off this week for Memorial Day, so we're re-running one of our favorite episodes from the past. With Republicans in the White House and Congress now halfway to effectively repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, the United States' signature climate law, we thought now might be a good moment to remind ourselves why emissions reductions matter in the first place.To that end, we're resurfacing our chat from November with Kate Marvel, an associate research scientist at Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. At the time, Trump had just been reelected to the presidency, casting a pall over the annual United Nations climate conference, which was then occurring in Azerbaijan. Soon after, he fulfilled his promise to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement, with its goal of restraining global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels.In this episode, we talk with Kate about why every 10th of a degree matters in the fight against climate change, the difference between tipping points and destabilizing feedback loops, and how to think about climate change in a disappointing time. Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap, and Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University.Mentioned: The GOP Tax Bill Is a Dangerous Gamble at a Precarious MomentThe UN Environmental Program's emissions gap reportThe IPCC's monumental report on the risks of 1.5C of temperature riseJesse's post-Trump op-ed: Trump Is Not the End of the Climate FightRob's piece from 2023 on the “end of climate science”Trump's Energy Secretary-designate Chris Wright's speech at the American Conservation Coalition Summit--Music for Shift Key is by Adam Kromelow.

Add diced onion and then cover with cold water so the potatoes are only just covered. Add bacon (raw) and give a dusting of Cajun seasoning. Put chicken breasts on top of the bacon and dust them with Cajun seasoning. Add creamed corn on top of the chicken, and then add the cup of chicken stock and salt and pepper to taste. Whack it on high for 3.5 hours then take out the chicken breasts and shred and put the shreded chicken back in and give it a good fucking stir. Leave for another hour, then add 250 ml of fresh cream. Stir through and serve Goes good with some bread of your choosing. For 2/3 people or a smaller slow cooker, just halve the portions/ingredients. Bone apple teeth.

In Chapter 13 of The Book of Trump, Ghost turns his focus to one of the most misunderstood figures in modern geopolitics: Bashar al-Assad, the “Lion of Damascus.” This epic solo deep dive traces Assad's rise from London-trained eye surgeon to defiant Syrian leader, revealing how Western-backed regime change efforts, globalist proxy wars, and pipeline politics converged to ignite the Syrian Civil War. Ghost connects the dots between U.S. and Israeli-backed jihadi proxies, the CIA-funded White Helmets, and the 5C infrastructure vision Assad proposed to create economic unity across the Middle East, before the Arab Spring was weaponized to destroy it. With receipts endorsed by General Flynn, Ghost breaks down the propaganda, chemical weapons psyops, and false flags used to justify toppling Assad, exposing the international coalition that fueled ISIS and Al-Qaeda's rise in the region. Weaving together history from Lawrence of Arabia to the Sykes-Picot betrayal and the current-day gas wars between Qatar and Iran, this episode places Syria at the heart of a global struggle for sovereignty. It's not just Assad they want gone, it's anyone defying the uniparty's monopoly on power. A must-listen for those ready to challenge the mainstream narrative and rediscover the truth behind the war on Syria.

Get full show notes and ad-free listening at wickedproblems.earth.It didn't take a genius to figure out that passing 1.5C would result in previously-taboo ideas like scaling carbon removals and solar geoengineering would rapidly get traction in the mainstream discourse. I know it doesn't take a genius because I wrote that >18 months ago.And as my bank manager and inlaws will (eagerly) tell you – “wait you're quitting corporate... and… just as the political winds turn against it you're going to…double down on a ‘media thing' on climate and climate solutions?” – I am not a genius.One of the nice things about making yourself an outsider is you're both blithely unaware of the tribal shibboleths you might be violating and just try to follow arguments where they lead.Anyway, here we are in April 2025 and geoengineering – Solar Radiation Modification, SRM, of whatever flavour, is building up to a moment. We've been seeing the signs for a while and you can check out our previous SRM episodes with SilverLining:and The Degrees Initiative:…the Bristol-based NGO acting to make sure that any research on solar geoengineering foregrounds actual science from actual scientists working in the actual countries that have the most to lose from both climate change and from solar geoengineering if it goes wrong.But now we may be headed to a crescendo:Item: Guardian, 7th April, Britain's OG climate hawk David King.Headline: We passed the 1.5C climate threshold. We must now explore extreme options.Item: Bloomberg, 3rd of April with reporting from Will Matthis:Headline: UK Launches £10 Million Study on Blocking the Sun to Reverse Global WarmingItem: the EU's scientific advisors have been pushing for a moratorium on SRM. Tomorrow researchers from a consortium called SRM360 are hosting a panel discussion. Including researchers Peter Irvine from the University of Chicago and Josh Horton of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. So here's my interview with them in case you want to check it out and maybe attend the discussion tomorrow. April 9th, 4:00 pm GMT / 10:00 am ETRegister NowOne thing for comms pros: having thought about it, the debate about whether the best analogy is Ozempic or Chemo for geoengineering is timelier than ever. This was a pretty persuasive case that telling people “we need to do this and it's going to hurt - a lot” might be a wakeup call. But that's going to become a live debate.There's a lot going on, to be sure.

In this engaging conversation, we dissect the concept of trends, distinguishing between short-lived fads and long-term shifts in consumer behaviour. We share historical examples like the cranberry craze initiated by Delia Smith and current trends like bubble tea, demonstrating how some ideas blossom into massive trends while others fizzle out. Mushroom products and edible packaging emerge as points of intrigue regarding their future in mainstream food markets.We also delve into the tools and techniques that can make trends less daunting and more beneficial. Lucy introduces the 5C's checklist (Consumer, Context, Cost, Compatibility, and Compliance) and suggests establishing a dynamic trends pyramid in your workspace. We stress the importance of understanding insights—the 'why' behind trends—and how technology and AI can aid in monitoring the evolution of market shifts. Throughout the episode, we maintain our trademark blend of humour and honesty while providing listeners with practical strategies to navigate the complex world of food trends effectively.Timestamps00:00 Understanding Trends vs. Fads04:51 Exploring Micro Trends in Bubble Tea07:13 Functional Health's Trending Impact11:05 "Revolutionizing Food Product Development"13:38 Evaluating Edible Packaging's Viability18:08 Menopause and AI-Sustainability Insights19:30 Structured Team Idea WallLinks and Resources:Website Link: https://ohforfoodssake.co.uk/FB Link: https://www.facebook.com/ohforfoodsakeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/oh-for-food-s-sake/You can follow us here on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oh_forfoodssake/For industry consulting from Lucy, connect with her on Instagram or LinkedIn.Find her on Instagram or LinkedIn for further support with industry coaching and facilitation from Amy.Oh For Food's Sake is sponsored by Microsearch Laboratories https://micro-search.co.uk/ and Point 74 https://micro-search.co.uk/

With the departure of nearly a dozen US and Canadian banks from the Net-Zero Banking Alliance in the past few months, is the future of sustainable finance hanging in balance? And what is the verdict on how far and well the green transition is advancing?This week on the Frankly Speaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Antonio Ballabriga, Global Head for Sustainability Intelligence and Advocacy at BBVA, the Spanish multinational bank that has been working on sustainability and sustainable finance for almost 20 years.Together they discussed why BBVA has bucked the trend of banks withdrawing from sustainable finance initiatives, including why it has instead chosen to double down on its sustainability agenda by increasing its sustainable investment twofold to €700 billion over the next five years. You'll also hear more about:Why the Net-Zero Banking Alliance is considering altering its ambition of 1.5C to the minimum ambition of the Paris Agreement (below 2C),  How BBVA's new concept of an ESG data pack will help companies and investors access all the information they need in one single deck Why the bank decided to make a major investment in green hydrogen Its views on the Omnibus and why it believes mid-caps must be kept in scope of mandatory disclosure A call for policymakers to step up their efforts on sustainable finance to secure the green transitionListen in and follow us on Linkedin!

Late last year we started interviewing folk in the business of solar radiation management (SRM) - aka one flavour of “geoengineering”. It's a taboo subject. It's sci-fi gold. It's also something we're going to be talking about. Particularly after famed climate scientist James Hansen and a platoon of other climate scientists published a new paper declaring not just the Paris Agreement goal of limiting warming to 1.5C to be in the rear-view mirror, but - as Damian Carrington in the Guardian summed it up: “The new analysis said global heating is likely to reach 2C by 2045, unless solar geoengineering is deployed.”The reason for a lot of this acceleration in global heating, say Hansen and colleagues, is (perversely) the result of successful efforts to reduce pollution. Specifically, removing sulfur from maritime fuel. That sulfur has been causing potentially millions of deaths a year due to respiratory diseases. So it's being phased out. Only one problem - the sulfur was having the under-appreciated consequence of reflecting quite a lot of sunlight back into space. How much? More than the entire energy output of humanity in a given year. And now that it's been removed, enough to - according to the paper - drive half the acceleration in global heating over the past 5 years or so.Hansen is hardly fringe for picking this up, though people don't all agree on the significance. Zeke Hausfather, who was not involved in the research, is among climate scientist who has acknowledge this “aerosol forcing” problem. Some data of his turned up in Nat Bullard's superb annual climate deck:Wicked Problems is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.On the call releasing their findings, Hansen et al discussed SRM. Which (even more perversely) often involves ideas for putting sulfur dioxide back into the atmosphere. But on purpose. To cool things off. To buy time.So here is part one of a series of conversations about SRM, featuring Kelly Wanser - the head of Silver Lining, one of the leading non-batshit-crazy outfits trying to do research on technologies that might make it possible.

Episode 285 New archaeological evidence from Iron Age Britain has shaken up long-held beliefs about the role of women in ancient civilisations. By studying the genes of the Durotriges tribe, who lived in Dorset 2000 years ago, researchers have discovered women were the centrepiece of Celtic society - supporting evidence that they had high status across Europe. Rachel Pope, Reader in European Prehistory at the University of Liverpool, explores the “jaw-dropping” findings. We also hear from author and archaeologist Rebecca Wragg-Sykes, who explains why we shouldn't be surprised that women in prehistory had such power and autonomy. Sudden swings in weather extremes caused by climate change could be to blame for the wildfires spreading across Los Angeles. The effect, known as “climate whiplash”, is becoming increasingly common and has wide-reaching implications, threatening crops, water supplies and more. And with the news that we breached 1.5C of global warming in 2024, we discuss what this all means for our climate goals. The world's first chatbot, ELIZA, has been resurrected. Created by MIT computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum in the 1960s, it contains just 420 lines of code and is a very basic precursor to the likes of ChatGPT and Gemini. The team demonstrates its (limited) capabilities live on the show. They also discuss news of a woman who has an AI boyfriend on ChatGPT…that she has sex with. Hosts Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet discuss with guests Rachel Pope, Rebecca Wragg-Sykes, James Dinneen and Madeleine Cuff.

As the blazes in Los Angeles continue to burn, those who have lost their homes are contending with the immediate need for shelter– and difficult questions about whether or not to rebuild in the fire zone. Grist reporter Jake Bittle tells Akshat Rathi how California’s housing market and insurance regulations will shape the recovery. And Nomad Century author Gaia Vince says that in this era of climate instability, everyone should think about how prepared they are to become a climate migrant.

EU scientists say 2024 was the warmest year on record, and the first to exceed the 1.5C global warming limit. Also: Los Angeles residents return to their burnt-out homes, and is time running out for TikTok?

George Lee, Environment Correspondent, reports that the world just experienced the first full year in which global temperatures exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial times, scientists at the European Union's Copernicus agency have said.

In December, Europe’s Copernicus weather service announced that it was “virtually certain” that 2024 would be the hottest year ever. What’s more, the global average temperature last year appears to have surpassed 1.5C for the first time, blowing past a threshold that’s taken on enormous significance in the fight against climate change. Does that mean governments, corporations, and activists recalibrate their climate goals? Akshat Rathi speaks with reporters Eric Roston and Zahra Hirji about what this new reality means.

As notícias relacionadas ao meio ambiente costumam não ser das mais animadoras – e em 2024, não foi diferente. Com os alertas sobre o aquecimento global, as mudanças do clima e a degradação da biodiversidade cada vez mais graves, parece difícil olhar para o futuro com otimismo – mas o ano que chega ao fim também foi marcado por uma série de fatos positivos. Lúcia Müzell, da RFI em ParisNo Brasil, em meio a catástrofes como as enchentes históricas no Rio Grande do Sul ou a seca recorde na Amazônia, a notícia da forte redução do desmatamento traz esperança. Os últimos dados oficiais, revelados em novembro pelo Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (Inpe), apontam para uma queda anual de 30,6% do desmate da Amazônia em relação ao período anterior, entre 2022 e 2023. Foi o melhor resultado em nove anos, no bioma. Já no Cerrado, a diminuição foi de 25,7%.A ministra do Meio Ambiente, Marina Silva, celebrou os avanços, mas indicou que muito ainda resta a ser feito. “É claro que quando você faz um esforço e consegue um resultado significativo, cada vez mais os esforços vão ficando mais complexos, mais difíceis. Nós ainda temos muito o que evitar de desmatamento até alcançarmos o desmatamento zero. Esse é um esforço em equipe: 19 ministérios trabalhando juntos, e cada vez mais, daqui para a frente, vamos precisar dos ministérios da dinâmica do desenvolvimento, olhando para agricultura, a energia, o transporte”, salientou. “É isso que vai fazer com que o desmatamento tenha uma queda consistente, e não apenas por ação de comando e controle. Mas é muito animador e gratificante verificar que, mesmo com todas as dificuldades, é possível ter política pública que faça o enfrentamento. É assim que quem não é negacionista faz política pública.”Os dados fortalecem a posição do Brasil como presidente da próxima Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre as Mudanças Climáticas, a COP30, que acontecerá em 2025 na cidade de Belém, no Pará. Trinta e três anos depois da Rio92, o país estará de novo no centro das atenções nas negociações climáticas. Na COP30, os países deverão estabelecer novos objetivos de redução de gases de efeito estufa, que causam o aquecimento anormal do planeta.Brasileira à frente da Autoridade Internacional dos Fundos MarinhosNo ano que passou, a atuação do Brasil na diplomacia ambiental rendeu frutos: em agosto, a oceanógrafa e diplomata Leticia Carvalho foi eleita secretária-executiva da Autoridade Internacional dos Fundos Marinhos (ISA), braço das Nações Unidas sobre o tema. A sua nomeação trouxe um vento de renovação à entidade, que estava com a credibilidade atingida pela gestão do secretário-executivo anterior.Leia também‘Relevância' de minerais do fundo mar para a transição será decidida pelos países, diz brasileira na ONULeticia Carvalho tem à frente um desafio histórico: obter o consenso dos 168 membros da ISA para a definição de um código da mineração no fundo do mar, já no seu primeiro ano de mandato. Mais de 30 países, como Brasil, França, Suécia ou Guatemala, exigem uma moratória completa das prospecções nessas imensas áreas submarinas, enquanto o impacto ambiental da atividade não for esclarecido pela ciência, de modo independente. Do outro lado, o lobby industrial tem pressa.“Certamente vou levantar-me na defesa de um secretariado muito mais ativo, que busque preencher as lacunas de informação existentes entre os diferentes Estados-membros, ajudando-os a tomar decisões informadas sobre a mineração em água profunda”, disse Carvalho à RFI, em setembro. “No que diz respeito a essas áreas além da jurisdição nacional, eu queria ressaltar que é responsabilidade primária dos Estados decidir coletivamente a melhor forma de equilibrar necessidades de proteção e preservação do meio ambiente marinho e o interesse do uso comercial dos recursos do leito marinho. Não houve mudança no cronograma até agora, então estamos todos observando e trabalhando no sentido da conclusão em 2025”, apontou.“Vovós pelo clima” têm vitória judicial inéditaEssas negociações internacionais costumam ser lentas e causam apreensão e revolta nas populações atingidas pelas mudanças do clima, que não esperam para avançar. Em 2024, o planeta bateu, de novo, o recorde de ano mais quente já registrado e, pela primeira vez, o mundo experimentou o que significa ter temperaturas 1,5C acima das medições no período pré-industrial. Este é o limite de aquecimento que o Acordo de Paris busca garantir – mas, para isso, os países precisarão fazer a sua parte.Um grupo de idosas suíças decidiu cobrar na justiça que o pequeno país europeu faça mais para combater as mudanças do clima, e teve uma vitória inédita. Em abril, a Suíça foi condenada por inação climática e violação dos direitos humanos pelo Tribunal Europeu de Direitos Humanos. A sentença gera jurisprudência e aumenta a pressão sobre os 46 Estados membros do Conselho da Europa.A Corte em Estrasburgo considerou que Berna não está respeitando os seus compromissos assumidos nos acordos internacionais sobre o tema. As 2,5 mil “vovós suíças”, reunidas no coletivo Idosas pelo Clima, alegaram que o aquecimento global já atinge a sua saúde e as ondas de calor, mais frequentes, as colocam em risco de morte.Anne Mahrer, copresidente da entidade, prometeu manter a pressão para a Suíça aplicar a decisão. Entre as medidas necessárias, ela cita a redução do impacto ambiental da construção civil e dos transportes e o fim das energias fosseis, mas também “visar a atuação do sistema financeiro, que continua financiando essas indústrias poluentes”.“São 300 páginas onde está escrito muito claramente tudo que é preciso colocar em prática e que não é feito. Um país como a Suíça não ter orçamento climático, nem objetivos claros para chegar à neutralidade de carbono em 2050, é inacreditável”, disse Mahrer à RFI, em abril. “Um país rico, industrializado há tantas décadas, deveria ser exemplar – e não é. Quem paga mais caro são os países do sul, que menos contribuíram para a catástrofe”, complementou.Reino Unido abandona a energia a carvãoEntre as economias ricas, o Reino Unido deu um exemplo importante: tornou-se o primeiro a se livrar da energia a carvão. A primeira termelétrica do mundo foi aberta justamente em Londres, em 1882. Agora, o país inova mais uma vez ao ser pioneiro no fim da energia mais poluente.A central de Ratcliffe-on-Soar será desmantelada antes do fim da década, para dar lugar a um "centro de energia e tecnologia livre de carbono". O fechamento é um passo fundamental para o cumprimento da promessa britânica de chegar em 2030 com 100% da energia neutra em emissões de CO2 e equivalentes, responsáveis pelo aumento anormal da temperatura na Terra. Até os anos 1980, o carvão representava 70% do aporte de eletricidade do país, mas caiu drasticamente a partir dos anos 2010 – graças, em um primeiro momento, à substituição pelo gás natural do Mar do Norte e, depois, por centrais eólicas e solares.Essa virada foi resultado da Lei de Energia do governo do então primeiro-ministro conservador David Cameron, que limitou a atratividade dos investimentos em fontes fósseis, em especial o carvão, ao mesmo tempo em que estimulou a produção de energias limpas. Hoje, o gás – das fontes fósseis, a menos poluente – representa cerca de um terço da matriz energética britânica. Outro terço vem do petróleo e o restante é dividido entre nuclear e renováveis (17%).“O uso do carvão é problemático na maior parte dos países do mundo, principalmente nos do G20, onde a Índia e a China ainda dependem muito dele. Os Estados Unidos o substituíram por gás natural, mas eles tinham 40% de matriz de carvão, que por sinal é a média mundial. O carvão ainda é muito presente, é uma fonte barata de energia e vai ser uma dificuldade grande continuar tirá-lo de vários desses países”, antecipa Ricardo Baitelo, gerente de projetos do Instituto de Energia e Meio Ambiente (IEMA), de São Paulo, e doutor em planejamento energético.Na cúpula do G7 deste ano, as sete economias mais desenvolvidas do globo se comprometeram a eliminar estas usinas até 2035.Outra boa notícia é que, na China, de longe a maior emissora de CO2 do planeta, mais de um quarto da energia consumida já é de fontes descarbonizadas – ou seja, renováveis e nuclear. Um relatório apresentado por Pequim informou que, na última década, estas fontes passaram de 15,5% para 26,4% do mix energético chinês. O país promete estabilizar ou começar a diminuir as suas emissões em 2030.Ansiedade climática abala confiança no futuro, mas pode mover açãoNo cenário global, o ritmo da transição para uma economia de baixo carbono caminha a passos lentos demais, diante do problema. Nas conferências ambientais deste ano, as cifras de financiamento climático oferecidas para os países em desenvolvimento enfrentarem as mudanças do clima decepcionaram. Os países não conseguiram chegar a um consenso sobre como implementar medidas para preservar a biodiversidade ou evitar o aumento das secas, que elevam os riscos de desertificação dos solos. Também adiaram a adoção de um tratado mundial para evitar a poluição por plásticos.Este contexto leva milhões de pessoas pelo mundo, principalmente as próximas gerações, a sofrerem do que a ciência já classifica como “ecoansiedade” ou “ansiedade climática”: o impacto da crise do clima na saúde mental. Um estudo de referência de 2021 da revista Lancet indicou que quase 60% dos jovens interrogados em 10 países, entre eles o Brasil, sentem-se preocupados ou extremamente preocupados com o futuro em um mundo mais quente. Outra pesquisa, publicada por cientistas da Yale-NUS College, em Singapura, revelou o quanto essa preocupação afeta os planos dos jovens de terem filhos.O coordenador do Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisa em Trauma e Estresse (Nepte) da PUC do Rio Grande do Sul, Christian Kristensen, trabalhou no apoio psicológico às vítimas das enchentes no Estado este ano, em uma das catástrofes climáticas mais graves já vistas no Brasil.“Já há alguns levantamentos iniciais para mapear a ocorrência desses problemas na população gaúcha, mas há também muitos estudos internacionais, em outras situações de enchentes, que nos sinalizam que esses problemas podem persistir 12, 24 ou até 36 meses”, afirma. “Quando a gente passa por evento climático extremo, isso obviamente mexe muito com as pessoas e pode até alterar a perspectiva de futuro. Isso está relacionado ao aumento das manifestações de ansiedade climática”, observa o professor da PUCRS.Alguns pesquisadores sobre o tema avaliam que a ecoansiedade é um motor de ação: quem não se preocupa não muda os seus hábitos, nem batalha para que os avanços no enfrentamento do problema sejam maiores. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, Kristensen salienta a importância do acesso a informações positivas em meio a um assunto marcado por más notícias.“Quando nós estamos num certo grau de ansiedade significa que nos importamos e isso pode nos mover positivamente na vida. Pode impulsionar a pessoa a se engajar em ações sociais, comunitárias. O problema é quando ela se torna algo tenso, paralisante, e acaba trazendo sofrimento e muitos prejuízos na vida da pessoa”, diz o especialista em trauma.“Existem vários exemplos, e é importante as pessoas saberem e os veículos de comunicação divulgarem, os exemplos positivos tanto de ações individuais, quanto coletivas, comunitárias, que podem transformar esse sentimento de ansiedade e preocupação em uma coisa muito positiva, ao criar um senso de coletividade, de pertencimento”, ressalta Kristensen. “É muito importante a gente se dar conta de que é óbvio que a ação humana sobre o clima é algo inegável, mas nós ainda temos possibilidades de ter ações transformadoras.”Fim de plásticos na África, camada de ozônio se recuperandoOutras boas notícias para o meio ambiente em 2024 no ano foram que a Austrália proibiu a exploração de uma reserva de urânio, uma das maiores do mundo, situada sob uma zona do povo aborígene Mirrar. A reserva fica nas proximidades do Parque Nacional de Kakadu, tombado patrimônio mundial da humanidade.A Nigéria, potência africana, adotou o fim dos plásticos descartáveis na capital, Lagos. Desde janeiro, os comerciantes são obrigados a oferecer alternativas reutilizáveis às sacolas plásticas, por exemplo. Medidas como esta se generalizam pelo continente, onde 34 países já adotaram algum tipo de proibição ou legislação para limitar os plásticos, derivados do petróleo.Leia tambémPor que apenas 9% dos plásticos no mundo são reciclados?Pelo mundo, também proliferaram as iniciativas para controlar o turismo de massa, fonte de poluição e emissões de CO2. De Veneza ao Himalaia, passando por Barcelona, diversas cidades adotaram medidas para compensar o efeito nefasto do turismo excessivo para o meio ambiente.E uma notícia animadora sobre a atmosfera: a concentração do gás HCFC, utilizado em aerossóis e na refrigeração, está baixando mais rapidamente do que os cientistas previam. Um relatório da universidade de Bristol, publicano na revista Nature Climate Change, mostrou que o cumprimento dos compromissos internacionais para reduzir o uso deste gás, nocivo para a camada de ozônio que protege a Terra do sol, resultou em um verdadeiro sucesso.O caso ilustra o quanto a cooperação internacional é fundamental para a preservação da vida no planeta. Segundo as últimas estimativas do Programa das Nações Unidas para o Meio Ambiente (Pnuma), publicadas em 2023, a camada de ozônio, alvo de um protocolo de proteção adotado em 1987, deve se reconstituir plenamente nas próximas quatro décadas.

This year is set to be the world's hottest on record, likely shattering the aspiration to limit global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. So where does this leave COP29, the upcoming UN climate conference in Azerbaijan? This week Inside Science is asking, are climate summits really working? What is the point of them - and are they doing enough? Joining Marnie Chesterton to discuss this are: - Joanna Depledge, expert on international climate negotiations at the University of Cambridge - Mark Maslin, climate change professor from University College London (UCL) - Jim Watson, professor of energy policy, also from UCL Presenter: Marnie Chesterton Producers: Ella Hubber, Sophie Ormiston & Gerry Holt Editor: Martin Smith Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth If you want to test your climate change knowledge, follow the links on this page to The Open University to take a quiz.

In 2024, we're set to break a major climate threshold for the first time: this will be the first calendar year in which global average temperatures breach the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold enshrined in the Paris Agreement. Importantly, while one year at this temperature doesn't mean all is lost, it does fire a profound warning shot over our faltering progress on mitigating and adapting to the climate crisis. While every fraction of a degree matters when it comes to the climate, the consensus is clear that above 1.5C the severity of impacts and risk of tipping points like mass coral reef die off or the collapse of the Greenland ice sheet become substantially higher. You might therefore expect this to be front page news. Yet compared with its gravity, it has barely made headlines. If, like us, you're wondering why — as it turns out, this was always part of the plan. In this episode, Adrienne and Andreas Malm break down the concept of “overshoot”, how it's tied up with the power of fossil fuels, and the future of climate politics, from ecofascism to geoengineering. Andreas Malm is an associate professor at Lund University, an activist and the author of several books, most recently Overshoot: How The World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown, co-written with Wim Carton.

This year's United Nations climate talks, COP29, wrapped Saturday. Throughout the talks, it was all about the numbers. With the help of NPR climate reporters Julia Simon and Alejandra Borunda, we hone in on two. First, $300 billion. That's the amount of money wealthy countries agreed to give developing countries to help them adapt to climate change and reduce pollution. Second, 1.5C. That's a warming limit countries agreed to try not to breach, but that is creeping closer every year. Want to hear the latest in climate news and solutions?

Here's the bad news: The world is almost certainly going to miss the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping global temperatures from rising beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels. The needed emissions cuts are too large and the direction of policy too slow to lead to any other outcome. In the next few decades, global warming will slip past the 1.5 degree mark — and temperatures will keep rising.What does that mean? What comes next? And how should we feel about that? On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse chat with Kate Marvel, an associate research scientist at Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. We talk about why every 10th of a degree matters in the fight against climate change, the difference between tipping points and destabilizing feedback loops, and how to think about climate change in a disappointing time.

A cada Conferência da ONU sobre as Mudanças Climáticas, as COPs do Clima, os bloqueios nas negociações se eternizam e os resultados parecem nunca estar à altura do desafio. Enquanto a COP29 acontece em Baku, no Azerbaijão, um respeitado grupo de cientistas e pensadores entregou às Nações Unidas sugestões para melhorar a eficiência do evento. Lúcia Müzell, da RFI em ParisJá faz mais de três décadas que os representantes dos países reúnem-se para debater os impactos do problema e buscar soluções conjuntas para enfrentá-lo. Ao longo dos anos, na medida em que as alterações do clima se tornaram mais claras, o evento virou parada obrigatória de dezenas de milhares de participantes – muitos deles apenas interessados em afundar o acordo em discussão."Em 2024, a tarefa é inequívoca: as emissões globais de gases de efeito estufa devem ser reduzidas em 4 bilhões de toneladas. 28 COPs nos entregaram a estrutura de política para atingir isso. No entanto, sua estrutura atual simplesmente não pode entregar a mudança em velocidade e escala exponenciais, o que é essencial para garantir um pouso climático seguro para a humanidade”, alega o Clube de Roma, centro internacional de reflexões que lançou o primeiro alerta sobre os limites do planeta, em 1972."Precisamos mudar da negociação para a implementação", frisa o documento, ao mencionar a “urgência” de os acordos das COPs serem cumpridos para garantir a transição energética e a eliminação gradual dos combustíveis fósseis.O climatologista Carlos Nobre, reconhecido internacionalmente pelos estudos sobre o aquecimento global e em especial sobre as consequências para a Amazônia, é um dos brasileiros signatários da carta. “As conferências têm sido promessas de salvar o planeta. Promessas. Quando a COP26, em 2021, em Glasgow, na Irlanda, fala que não podemos deixar o aumento da temperatura passar de 1,5C, que temos que reduzir rapidamente as emissões líquidas e zerá-las até 2050, nada disso foi feito”, ressaltou.“Os dados iniciais mostram que, em 2024, as emissões serão mais altas que em 2023. Então me parece que está muito difícil de conseguirmos. Nas COPs, os países bateram o martelo de que as metas são voluntárias, mas pouquíssimos estão caminhando nessa direção”, lamentou.Fim das COPs em países petroleirosA conferência reúne chefes de Estado, reis, ministros, parlamentares e sobretudo diplomatas e especialistas nas causas e consequências do aquecimento do planeta. Acadêmicos, movimentos sociais, comunidades locais e até artistas engajados participam dos debates – mas também um número expressivo de lobistas de setores causadores do problema circulam à vontade pelos corredores das COPs.Só do setor petroleiro, são quase 1,8 mil representantes registrados na Conferência de Baku. O presidente do Azerbaijão, Ilham Aliyev, sequer dissimulou o apreço que mantém pelo petróleo, chamado por ele de um “presente de Deus”.Excluir da presidência das COPs os países que não apoiam a transição para o fim das energias fósseis e restringir o acesso daqueles que comparecem apenas para atrapalhar os avanços são duas das sete propostas do Clube de Roma para reformar as conferências. “Na COP do ano passado, o principal lobista era o presidente da COP. Aqui é a mesma coisa esse ano, e o ministro do país petroleiro está usando a COP para fazer negócios de petróleo e gás, como aconteceu no ano passado”, salienta Claudio Angelo, coordenador de política internacional do Observatório do Clima (OC) e veterano do evento. “Evidentemente, os lobistas têm uma influência deletéria nas negociações”, constata.  Conflitos internacionais e reforma de instituições financeirasPara serem mais efetivas, portanto, as conferências deveriam ser menores, mais frequentes e focadas na avaliação dos progressos realizados, além da busca por soluções em temas-chave, como o financiamento climático. Desta vez, a COP e a cúpula do G20 aconteceram simultaneamente e tiveram uma sinergia inédita sobre os temas cruciais debatidos na Conferência do Clima. O grupo reúne os países responsáveis por 80% das emissões mundiais.Num contexto de guerras e enfraquecimento das instituições multilaterais, as Nações Unidas têm dificuldade para promover os avanços – mas ainda são a única instância capaz de capitanear este processo, avalia Angelo.“O problema é o seguinte: ruim com a COP, pior sem ela, porque hoje a única coisa que nos separa de um aquecimento global de 3C ou mais é esse processo aqui. É o único processo onde cada país tem voz e voto, onde as principais vítimas da mudança climática têm tanto poder de decisão quanto os principais causadores dela. Se não for a ONU, quem mais vai ser?”, indica.“Tem uma série de ideias e propostas para a reforma das instituições financeiras multilaterais, algo em que o G20 também trabalhou. Tudo isso é importante e tem que acontecer. A solução precisa ser global e multilateral – mas que não está funcionando na velocidade que deveria, não está”, observa o coordenador do OC.Carlos Nobre sobrevoou a Amazônia com Biden No último domingo (17), o cientista Carlos Nobre sobrevoou a Amazônia ao lado do presidente dos Estados Unidos, Joe Biden – o primeiro mandatário americano a pisar na floresta durante o exercício do poder. Na medida em que o impacto devastador das mudanças climáticas sobre territórios e populações fica mais evidente – com consequências econômicas e sociais, mas também políticas para os governantes –, o climatologista espera que os líderes mundiais acelerem as ações para combater o problema.“Ele viu todas as áreas do lado de Manaus superdesmatadas, degradadas, um monte de floresta queimada. Eu mostrei para ele como o aquecimento global está fazendo a maior seca da história da Amazônia. Eu acho que o presidente, tendo a oportunidade de ver isso com os próprios olhos, é muito mais importante do que simplesmente alguém, cientistas e políticos, como o presidente Lula, comunicarem sobre isso”, relata. “Hoje ainda se gasta muito mais, muitos trilhões de dólares por ano para expandir a exploração de combustíveis fósseis. Isso é um ecocídio e um suicídio planetário.”

In this episode of Cities 1.5, David Miller speaks with Pragya Senapathi of Ripple Research about the pervasive impact of climate-related dis- and misinformation. In the past few years, false narratives have been pushed around climate issues in an attempt to derail the policies the world needs to protect the health of people and planet. Ripple has carried out extensive research of these misleading narratives and tactics at the nexus of climate and health and their investigations show clear and actionable strategies and pathways for combating false information through proactive policymaking and climate literacy. The recommendations Ripple and Pragny offer are key for mayors and city governments to strengthen community resilience and push back on the false claims wielded by climate misinfluencers. Image Credit: Brian McGowan @ UnsplashFeatured guests:Pragnya Senepati is the Policy and Research Lead at Ripple Research, and graduate of the C40 Women4Climate program.LINKS: Disinformation Thrives in Times of Crisis - Cities 1.5World's 1.5C climate target ‘deader than a doornail', experts say - The GuardianSpanish floods: before and after footage shows the scale of destruction in Valencia - The GuardianHow rioting farmers unraveled Europe's ambitious climate plan - VoxEU DisinfoLabEurope was a leader on saving nature.

Global heating is a serious problem, but the question of just how urgently to fight it is a fraught one. Should 2C or 1.5C of warming be our limit? Or can we blow past these limits now, and come back down to them later, using technology to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere? There's […]

The UN climate summit is opening in Azerbaijan with 2024 set to be the first year to breach the 1.5C global warming limit. But could President-elect Donald Trump's energy policies undermine the goal of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions? Also on the programme: Russia and Ukraine attack each other with drones in their heaviest assault of the war; and Dutch police use a hologram of a sex worker murdered 15 years ago in a fresh bid to find her killer.(Photo: Climate activists project a message onto Tower Bridge ahead of COP29 climate talks in London.

*) Israel's genocidal war on besieged Gaza enters its 400th day Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed more than 43,500 Palestinians, 70 percent of them women and children, and wounded over 102,700 others, according to local health authorities. Analysts say the estimate is conservative and the actual death toll could be around or beyond 200,000, as thousands of Palestinians remain missing or buried under the debris of bombed homes and shops. Another 10,000 have been abducted and jailed at Israeli torture sites. *) Stein and Trump gain surprising support among Muslim voters American Muslim voters overwhelmingly backed Green Party's candidate Jill Stein in the 2024 presidential election, with 53.2 percent casting ballots in her favour, according to a new survey. In Michigan, Stein received even stronger support, with 59 percent of 502 Muslim respondents backing her, compared to 22 percent for Trump and 14 percent for Harris, according to the poll. Frustration over the Biden administration's Gaza policy led to a "sharp drop" in Muslim support for Harris compared to Biden's 2020 Muslim voter base, according to CAIR's National Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw. *) US, Canada groups urge leaders to condemn anti-Arab violence in Amsterdam Two prominent Muslim groups have criticised North American leaders and media for ignoring attacks and anti-Arab violence by Maccabi Tel-Aviv fans during a Europa League match. "It has been deeply distressing and disturbing to witness the violence that took place in Amsterdam around the Europa League match last night," The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) wrote on X, denouncing all forms of intimidation. The Muslim group urged Canadian leaders to address the incidents directly. "If Canadian leaders choose to weigh in on this issue, they must condemn the well-documented attacks on Arabs in Amsterdam," the statement says. *) 2024 to be the hottest year since industrial revolution Scientists say that 2024 might go down in history as the hottest since humans began burning fossil fuels. According to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), the global average temperature is expected to exceed the critical 1.5C threshold above pre-industrial levels. This would mark a historic milestone, underscoring the dramatic impact of greenhouse gas emissions and climate crisis. The C3S Monthly Climate Bulletin for October highlights that human activities have created an elevated temperature baseline. An El Nino event also played a role in this year's heating but the climate's complexity is influenced by multiple factors beyond greenhouse gases alone, such as solar radiation, volcanic eruptions, aerosols, and natural climate variability, according to the scientists. *) Turkish first lady attends event on Ottoman sufi poet, heritage in Hungary Türkiye's first lady has attended a special programme in Budapest promoting a book on a 14th-century Ottoman sufi poet and the empire's rich heritage in Hungary. Erdogan visited the tomb of Ottoman Dervish poet Gul Baba — also known as Jafer, or the "Father of Roses" in Hungary — which was restored in 2018 in a collaboration between the Hungarian government and TIKA, the Turkish state aid agency. "I am happy to gather around the legacy of Gul Baba, who came from Anatolia and was laid to rest in this land, on the 100th anniversary of the Türkiye-Hungary Friendship Treaty” she says. "It is truly exciting that six years after TIKA's restoration efforts and the establishment of the cultural centre at the Gul Baba Tomb, this spiritual heritage is now being crowned with a new book," Erdogan wrote in the guestbook at the Gul Baba Tomb.

This episode features a conversation with Sam Narr, Founder and CEO of Kibbo Kift Agency, a specialist PR and performance marketing agency exclusively promoting climate solutions and social justice initiatives. Heavily influenced by his third-generation immigrant background, working-class roots, and an education in radical social movements and pop culture, Sam's motivation to work in environmentalism stems from an ambition to rebalance society's social and racial inequities.Over the last five years, Kibbo Kift Agency has worked with 60+ clients including climate activists, corporate pressure groups, innovative tech start-ups, responsible fashion brands, global climate organisations, and more.Kibbo Kift's projects have included a national campaign with Greenpeace UK, a national campaign to pressure MPs to support the only proposed legislation that ensures a joined-up approach to tackling the dual climate and nature crises, as well as ongoing media management of advertising and PR pressure group Clean Creatives, and global press office management for the world's largest digital clock, The Climate Clock, which counts down the time left until humanity passes the 1.5C threshold.Amongst other things, Sam and I discussed the rightwards political shift happening across the UK, Europe, and the United States, where this issue gets tangled up with climate, and what can be learned from the campaigns that brought us Brexit and Trump.Additional links: Visit the Kibbo Kift Agency websiteCheck out the Climate and Nature Bill campaignExplore Britain Talks Climate from Climate OutreachDing dong, it's The Climate ClockDig in to the Communicating Climate Change E-Learning Course on the Creatives for Climate Community HubSee The Brexit BusRead about the Stop the Boats campaignReclaiming Englishness with Caroline LucasCommunicating Climate Change Call-In Show #1

Christiana Figueres (the woman behind the Paris Agreement) is possibly the best-known official in the global climate change movement. The former Costa Rican diplomat and Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (2010-2016), managed to bring together 195 nations to sign the historical 2015 agreement that set the “1.5C” target/warning. She wrote The Future We Choose, cohosts the Outrage + Optimism podcast, has a moth, a wasp and an orchid named after her, and has won countless international awards for her work. In this episode, we challenge each other on whether hope and optimism are still useful given we've passed the 1.5C threshold in February, whether the Paris Agreement is still viable almost 10 years on and the viability of the green energy transition. We don't agree on a number of points, but we come together on what keeps us in the “fight” …love. Listen to the end with this one.SHOW NOTESThe work of rare earth minerals expert Olivia Lazard and energy futurist Nate Hagens supports the energy points I make in this episode. This international team of researchers and this team working out of France show fossil fuels will become net-energy negative in the future. We are spending more energy to get less energy than before—our net energy is “plummeting”.The world's consumption of fossil fuels climbed to a record high last year according to the University of Exeter's Global Carbon Project and NASA. A Finnish Geological Survey finds that “global reserves are not large enough to supply enough metals to build the renewable non-fossil fuels industrial system”.According to a study on societal tipping points, a peak and fall in global oil production would bring down the entire financial and trade system like a house of cards.This chapter of my book outlines the argument in detail.And here are the first two chapters of my book, that outline my position on hope v truth.

At the top of the episode, Tom and Christiana anticipate the frantic and sometimes frustrating weeks ahead in this hectic period for those working in climate, and as wild weather continues to wreak havoc, Christiana and Tom invite us to pause for a moment. How can we listen and better contribute? How can we roll up our sleeves -  with hope - and get to work on having a positive impact and building momentum? In their thoughtful interview with Kara, the hosts reflect on how The Climate Pledge has grown over the last five years to over 500 signatories - companies who share an ambition to innovate, accelerate joint action and collaborate across sectors to get to net zero carbon emissions by 2040, ten years earlier than the Paris Agreement. Kara, Tom and Christiana discuss the specific challenges companies face and the solutions and strategies they're adopting to meet targets. Sharing failures has been just as valuable as sharing successes because, as Tom points out, none of us have decarbonised the global economy before. Unafraid to go deep, they question how we would reduce emissions and redesign society if we kept in mind the earth's atmosphere.   NOTES AND RESOURCES   Outrage + Optimism, Live at Climate Week NYC Event Title: It's Time To Unite For Mission 2025 Event Details: Tuesday 24th September, 12:00 - 13:00 ET, Glasshouse (NYC) Event Description: Mission 2025 is a coalition of courageous leaders - mayors, governors, CEOs, investors, athletes, musicians and citizens - who are inviting governments to ratchet upcoming national climate plans (known as Nationally Determined Contributions) in line with the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5C. Described as ‘Defenders of Paris', Mission 2025 Partners arrive at Climate Week New York with a major update of new organizations who are ready to embolden governments to set more ambitious plans and accelerate implementation because they know this can unlock trillions in private investment, scale cheap renewable energy, support industries to compete in a low carbon economy, and safeguard living standards equitably for our people. As a live recorded Outrage + Optimism podcast, this flagship event will demonstrate how these plans can be upgraded by showcasing government and real economy leaders who are driving towards ‘positive tipping points' across the three themes of energy, nature & food, and finance. The event is supported by the Mission 2025 Partners and convened by Groundswell – a collaboration between Global Optimism, Bezos Earth Fund and Systems Change Lab – together with the Climate Group.
