Reflecting on COP26 from the perspective of COP28 allows for an assessment of the progress made towards the ambitious goals set at the 2021 Glasgow climate conference. COP26 aimed to secure global net zero by mid-century and limit global warming to 1.5 C degrees, underscoring the urgency of climate action. This summary reviews the conference's key outcomes and commitments, providing a basis to evaluate their implementation and effectiveness by COP28.The key goals of COP26 included achieving global net zero and limiting warming, with strategies focusing on reducing emissions to reach net zero by 2050 through phasing out coal, curtailing deforestation, transitioning to electric vehicles, and increasing renewable energy investments. Adapting to protect communities and natural habitats was emphasized, highlighting the importance of safeguarding ecosystems and human settlements from climate change impacts. Mobilizing finance was a major aim, seeking to secure at least $100bn annually in climate finance for mitigation and adaptation in vulnerable regions. Furthermore, collaborative action and finalizing the Paris Rulebook were stressed, highlighting the need for finalizing the Paris Agreement's guidelines and enhancing global cooperation against the climate crisis.The main outcomes from COP26 included the non-binding Glasgow Climate Pact, extending the Paris accord, and outlining decisions to combat climate change. The completion of the Paris Rulebook provided guidelines for implementing the Paris Agreement, encompassing emissions reporting transparency, common emissions targets timeframes, and standards for international carbon markets. Additionally, sector-specific agreements were significant, with notable commitments in forest conservation, methane reduction, automotive emissions, and private finance. This included an agreement to reverse forest loss by 2030 and to phase down coal power.Responses and reception to these outcomes were mixed. Leaders like UK's Archie Young expressed satisfaction, while UN's António Guterres described the agreements as a "compromise." European Commission's Ursula von der Leyen and the Maldives' Environmental Minister, Shauna Aminath, emphasized the urgency for ongoing efforts and the existential threat for vulnerable nations. Critiques from environmental groups targeted the Glasgow Pact for not fully addressing the urgency of fossil fuel phase-out and questioned the feasibility of maintaining temperature rises below 1.5 C degrees.From the viewpoint of COP28, evaluating the tangible actions taken in response to these commitments is crucial. The effectiveness of the Glasgow Climate Pact and the Paris Rulebook can be gauged based on progress in emission reductions, coal phase-out, renewable energy transition, and climate finance mobilization. The response of nations to commitments, particularly in deforestation and automotive emissions, will indicate the level of global cooperation and sincerity in addressing the climate crisis. Additionally, assessing adaptation measures and support for vulnerable nations is essential to understand the real impact of COP26 agreements. This retrospective analysis serves as a measure of the actual progress against the ambitious goals set during COP26.

A year ago, at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, the biggest players in the financial world joined together to incorporate carbon emissions into their most fundamental decisions. As the summit reconvenes in Egypt, the group is on the rocks. WSJ's David Benoit explains why.

What do you do when you are a 71-year-old retired grandmother concerned about climate change, and you want to make a difference? You hop on your pink bike and ride 2500 km from your hometown to the COP26 Summit in Scotland!Meet Dorothee Hildebrandt. She is so passionate about stopping climate change that she spent six weeks cycling alone from her home in Katrineholm, Sweeden, to the COP26 Summit (UN Climate Change Conference) in Glasgow, Scotland. Her trip started on September 1st, 2021, and culminated when she pedaled into Glasgow for the start of the summit in November. Biking for the Future recounts what motivated Dorothee to take this ride, the many Warmshowers hosts she stayed with, and the incredible people she met along the way. Why pedal all this way alone at her age? Simply put, Dorothee hopes to make a difference. She wants the world's political leaders to understand that we must act now to stop climate change. She says, "I know it is a dream, but sometimes dreams come true, and if I do not try, I can never change anything."Dorothee's reflections:She is grateful to all her Warmshowers hosts. Without them, the trip would not have been possible.She hopes that she can be a good example for others.She wishes for better infrastructure for cyclists around the world. (It would be good for the environment as well.)She thinks this trip was once in a lifetime! But the COP27 is coming up in Egypt, and maybe . . .

The world is looking towards the sun, wind, and other alternatives for energy, and so is India, as a way to tackle climate change and other environmental issues. The sight of solar and wind farms, rooftops lined with solar panels, and electricity-powered vehicles might soon be common. For the first episode of GigaWhat, we begin at the end. Where do solar modules go when they are no longer in use? What happens when a wind turbine finishes its lifecycle? Or when an electric car battery stops working? What happens to the materials that remain after a piece of equipment dies, breaks, or malfunctions? In a world already staring at a giant waste management problem, where will all this new kind of waste go? In this episode, we will understand why this discussion about waste is vital at the start of the clean energy boom. Follow GigaWhat to explore some of the biggest questions, challenges, and opportunities in India's transition from fossil fuel to clean energy sources.

World leaders recently gathered in Glasgow for the COP26 summit, where they signed off on the Glasgow Climate Pact, which states that carbon emissions will have to fall by 45 percent by 2030 to keep alive the goal set out in the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C. This summit followed a summer of record breaking heat waves and intense wildfires, such as those experienced by Greece and other Mediterranean countries, which were largely attributed to climate change. Experts Alice Hill and Madeline Babin join The Greek Current to assess whether COP26 was a success, look at the many challenges rising temperatures pose to humans across the globe, and explore the policy initiatives that can be adopted in response.Alice Hill is the David M. Rubenstein senior fellow for energy and the environment at the Council on Foreign Relations. She previously served as special assistant to President Barack Obama and senior director for resilience policy on the National Security Council staff, leading the development of national policy to build resilience to catastrophic risks, including climate change.Madeline Babin is a research associate for the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at the Council on Foreign Relations, where her research focuses on climate change policy and building resilience to the catastrophic risk of climate change.Read Alice Hill and Madeline Babin's latest pieces here:What COP26 Did and Didn't AccomplishThe Policy Challenge of Extreme Heat and Climate ChangeA World Overheating: How Countries Should Adapt to Climate ExtremesThe Fight for Climate After COVID-19You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Pope Francis coming back to GreeceMigrant crisis front and center in pope's Greece-Cyprus tripWith migrants in mind, Pope Francis visits divided CyprusEU launches €300bn bid to challenge Chinese influenceEU launches €300bn fund to challenge China's influence

100+ countries discussed climate change over two weeks at the COP26 Summit in Glasgow. TThe impact of COVID-19 and the pall of the US-China trade war cast their shadows over the proceedings. The recent energy crisis in the EU did little to help. Disappointment over the results of COP26 is, therefore, not unexpected. Truth be told, climate action is no longer about containing global warming. It has become a geopolitical issue linked to trade, technology, and geopolitical issues.

With the completion of the recent COP26 Summit in Scotland, where does we stand when it comes to combatting Climate Change?  Who better to ask than a climatologist?  Dr. Mark Seeley goes into the numbers and science. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After two, torturous weeks of around-the-clock negotiations at the COP26 Summit in Glasgow, Scotland, diplomats from nearly 200 countries agreed to accelerate their commitments to reduce carbon emissions, phase out fossil fuels, and ramp up aid to poor countries, many of whom are the biggest victims of the climate crisis.  However, not everyone is pleased with the outcome in Glasgow. Climate experts point out that the accord will not put the world on track to avoid catastrophic warming beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius. To discuss the Glasgow accord, India's commitments, and the questions that remain, Milan is joined on the show this week by Navroz Dubash, a professor at the Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi and a veteran energy and climate scholar, policy adviser, and activist.  Navroz and Milan discuss the big takeaways from COP26, India's surprise net-zero pledge, and an eleventh hour fracas over language on coal. Plus, the two discuss the credibility deficit plaguing the United States' climate diplomacy.  Jayant Sinha, “How India Can Get to Net Zero Emissions,” Grand Tamasha, October 12, 2021. Navroz Dubash, “Understanding India's climate pledges,” Hindustan Times, November 12, 2021. Navroz Dubash, “Unlocking climate action in Indian federalism,” Hindustan Times, August 11, 2021.

There may be signs that surging natural gas prices are starting to ease, but it's worth revisiting how we got to this situation where some energy producers are being forced to switch to oil and even coal to cover energy shortages ahead of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. It's also happening on the heels of the COP26 Summit in Glasgow. JP Ong spoke to Dr Fereidun Fesharaki, the Chairman of FGE, to trace how we got to these energy shortages, if Singapore's strategy to focus on long-term contracts is a better tactic in these times, the politics behind the shortages, and if the transition to cleaner energy is more complicated than first thought.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the climate summit wraps up, USIP's Tegan Blaine says the focus on net-zero commitments overshadowed immediate concerns such as addressing climate-driven migration: “We needed to commit to these things 10 years ago, 20 years ago … and we didn't. So now the time is quite short.”

Hello to all my fellow leaf lickers out there!  November is here which means Plantsgiving is right around the corner for you and me.  Alright alright, not everyone celebrates with a vegan faux turkey day like me so, for all you that baste turkeys and do the traditional thing, I say eat, drink and have a happy upcoming Thanksgiving!  This month, to kick off the inevitable consumption of mass quantities, I talk about my time at the first annual Vegandale festival in Los Angeles this past October and some of the vendors that I tried.  I also bring up some upcoming products in the plant-based fast food world, celebrities being involved in vegan activism and the COP26 Summit complete with my two cents on the whole affair.  As always, there is tons of fun-filled information in this segment with lots of surprises and tons of ranting so, crack open a brew, microwave that crappy freezer burned vegan burrito that has been in your fridge for four months and TUNE IN NOW!!

The Duchess of Cornwall met President Joe Biden at a climate summit on Monday, but the emissions she was left talking about had little to do with the environment, according to a new report. According to a report in the Daily Mail, Biden passed gas while chatting with Camilla at the COP26 Summit on Monday — and she can't stop talking about how gross it was. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/11/duchess-cornwall-biden-farting-climate-summit-long-loud-impossible-ignore/ (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/11/duchess-cornwall-biden-farting-climate-summit-long-loud-impossible-ignore/) Conservative firebrand Candace Owens said the quiet part out loud on Twitter concerning allegations of incest within the Biden family, pointing out that Ashley Biden is reportedly the second person involved in such rumors. The response from Owens came after Rep. Lauren Boebert tweeted, “So if the FBI raided someone's house over Ashley Biden's diary being stolen, that means Ashley Biden's diary and the accusations in it were real. Are there any real journalists willing to ask Joe about it?” Owens replied, “More importantly— Ashley Biden is the SECOND person in the Biden family that has made incestuous sexual allegations. Do not forget about Hunter's laptop and the text messages about his niece. These are accounts DIRECTLY FROM the Biden family. Not conspiracies.” Neither allegation has been verified. What is a fact is that the FBI just raided two Project Veritas reporters' homes in New York over Ashley Biden's missing diary, which is alleged to contain sexual recounts of her childhood. The story was leaked within the hour to The New York Times. The second person in the Biden family to be caught up in whispers of incest is Hunter Biden's teenage niece who was said to have been seen topless in photos with her uncle Hollywood LA News reported. The photos were allegedly found on Hunter Biden's infamous laptop. https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/11/06/owens-points-out-bidens-daughter-is-second-person-in-family-to-make-incest-allegations-after-diary-entry-1159250/ (https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/11/06/owens-points-out-bidens-daughter-is-second-person-in-family-to-make-incest-allegations-after-diary-entry-1159250/) During a visit to the Institut Pasteur science lab, the Vice President appeared to try to sound like French people do when they speak English, in an apparent attempt to ingratiate herself with her audience. “In government, we campaign with ‘The Plan',” said Harris, saying the word “the” like “thee.” “And then the environment is such we're expected to defend ‘The Plan' even when the first time we roll it out there may be some glitches and it's time to reevaluate and then do it again,” she continued. https://www.infowars.com/posts/kamala-harris-mocked-for-using-fake-french-accent/ (https://www.infowars.com/posts/kamala-harris-mocked-for-using-fake-french-accent/) Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Monday said the infrastructure bill will address the racist highway design meant to block black and brown kids from being bussed to the beach.

Eco-man Malcolm Rands updates Jack Tame on how the COP26 Summit is going. LISTEN ABOVE

By Hamish Cardwell, RNZ Exhausted bureaucrats are locked in all-night talks at the COP26 climate summit. RNZ climate reporter Hamish Cardwell spoke to a COP veteran about the post-deadline after-midnight madness. Oil Change International senior campaigner David Tong has been to most COP UN climate meetings in the past decade. He said almost all blow through deadlines, like this one did this morning, while negotiators and diplomats scrambled to hash out an agreement. All-night talks are currently under way. Tong said at this stage of the summit, talks could get very strange. "Things get bizarre. In the Durban [COP meeting in 2011] the lead negotiator for Venezuela stood on her chair and banged a high-heeled stiletto shoe on her table saying 'Venezuela ... will ... not ... be ... bribed, Venezuela ... will ... not .... be threatened, Venezuela ... will ... not ... support ... this'. "And then three hours later, Venezuela voted in favour." Venues start closing and cafeterias are dismantled - negotiators subsist on chocolate and fruit. "In Durban, I was standing in a queue at the last cafeteria that was open behind a man, I don't know where he was from but he must have been French. "Because when they said that the cafeteria had run out of cheese, he said 'but what am I to have with my wine?!'" This tweet shows how far past the Friday end-of-business-day deadline previous COPs have gone before an agreement is reached. Tong said in Madrid in 2019, a comic convention was held in the other half of the conference centre on the last weekend. "So you had these incredibly tired negotiators and diplomats walking out through full military security to be surrounded by Madrid Spanish comic fans dressed as superheroes. "It gets incredibly strange." Post-deadline decisions almost certainly worse for the environment Back in the negotiation rooms, key diplomats form huddles, while the Presidency (the country hosting the meeting) pulls countries who are at loggerheads behind closed doors to hash it out. Tong said New Zealand's Climate Minister James Shaw - who is co-leading talks on transparency, essentially how to verify countries are making the emissions cuts or financial contributions they claim - will be scrambling to help the Presidency to get consensus. He said several negotiators would fall asleep in their chairs. And there would be lots of empty chairs because negotiators, particularly from poorer countries with smaller teams and fewer resources, had to catch flights home. "An adviser from one of the Pacific countries told me ... whatever is agreed on the Friday you should stick with on the Saturday. "Because it only ever gets worse on Saturday because the voices of small countries are no longer represented." He said while post-deadline sees the compromises struck which allows the final agreement to happen, it almost always leads to worse environmental outcomes than where things stood before the deadline. "[It is] negotiation by attrition."

Why does China, as a major manufacturing country, participate in carbon emissions trading?But before answering this question, we have to think about the following questions:Can trading carbon emission rights really prevent climate warming?Can reducing carbon emissions really stop climate warming?Is climate warming harmful or beneficial to China?I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone's lives.

Journalist Rod Oram joins Susie from the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow.

COP26 has arrived and we're discussing whether we're turning the tide on climate change brought to you by Investec Obviously, the big news for us this week as been the announcement of the $8.5bn Just Energy Transition Partnership to help South Africa transition away from fossil fuels, stimulate green hydrogen and electric vehicle production. The two-day leaders' summit is now over and world leaders have jetted off to sunnier climes. But Cop26 is just getting started. Attention will now turn to the negotiations between delegations on finalising the Paris rulebook. It's not going to be easy. Six years on from Paris, issues like Article 6 (carbon markets) are unresolved for a reason. To get the latest from Cop 26 Michael Avery is joined by Belynda Petrie, CEO and co-founder of OneWorld Sustainable Investments.

Kieran Andrews, Scottish Political Editor with The Times Scotland looks ahead to today's COP agenda.

Amitav Ghosh, celebrated author and Jnanpith awardee, says it's not him or his body of work that is changing, but it's the planet that has changed. Climate change effects that are being observed around the world can no longer be escaped. “There's nowhere else,” he says. In this special podcast, The Quint's Opinion Editor, Nishtha Gautam, catches up with Amitav Ghosh to discuss his new book, The Nutmeg's Curse, which is based on climate change, the history of colonialism and how society has changed over centuries. In the book, Ghosh traces the trajectory of the spread of nutmeg from the Banda Islands to the rest of the world, which is symbolic of the wider sweep of the colonial mindset across the globe that brought both human and environmental devastation. From starting as a weaver of tales of the history of people to almost straddling the world of climate action today, Ghosh has come a long way. He says it's what one would expect. The Hungry Tide (2004) author recalls visiting the Sundarbans in the early 2000s to research for the book. “The climate effect was ever-present. Saltwater intrusion, change in species, it was all very visible there. That's when I started to take the [issue] seriously,” he says. On the rich shirking their climate responsibility and blaming the poor, he says it's a classic case of blaming the victim. He remarks, for example, “There's this brainwashing that someone will buy a Tesla and [it will] shrink their carbon footprint. The embodied emission in producing a Tesla is enormous... it has a huge footprint not just in terms of carbon, but other elements as well.” According to Ghosh, ‘common but differentiated responsibility' is the way forward for nations. The US, the United Kingdom, Russia, and European nations that developed fast have huge historic emissions. In contrast, China and India's per capita emissions currently are smaller. “But again, we have to remember that the middle class and wealthy Indians' carbon footprint is just as big as that of Americans,” he says. On the ongoing COP26 Summit, Ghosh says it may not be very different from any of the other meetings. “Already now we can see the huge roadblocks it has run into,” he says, referring to Jair Bolsonaro's demand that Brazil be paid for preserving the Amazon, Saudi Arabia's diluting of the language, and India's possible brainwashing given its opening up of forests and coal mines.

Malawi's President - Lazarus Chakwera – told rich countries to “pay up or perish with us” ahead of the COP26 climate summit. Developed nations are yet to meet a promise to pay £100bn to poorer countries each year to deal with climate change. Projects to transfer to renewable energy or cope with the impacts of climate change are expensive…more than most countries on the continent can afford. But Africa is the most vulnerable continent to the effects of climate change.

Shauna Sylvester, executive director of SFU's Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue - speaking to us from the COP26 summit in Glasgow

The critical COP26 climate change summit is underway in Glasgow, bringing countries together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

In this episode the Rethink Energy team discusses the upcoming COP26 Summit with related topics, and the recent performance of some EV and hydrogen start ups.

This Sunday 31st October, the COP26 Summit kicks off in Glasgow, where it's expected that leaders will bring bigger commitments to 2030 emissions reduction targets and outline bolder climate policies. Dr Robert Glasser and Anastasia Kapetas discuss Australia's climate commitments going into COP, and whether they are sufficient to address climate impacts in Australia and our region. They also discuss the recent U.S. 'Department of Defense Climate Risk Analysis'. Recently, Australian authorities seized a record 450kg heroin shipment, the largest heroin shipment ever detected in Australia. Dr John Coyne and Dr Teagan Westendorf discuss the significance of this seizure and consider whether a seizure of this size means less product is available or leads to less consumption. Earlier this month, a global outage left users unable to access Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger for 6 to 7 hours. Karly Winkler and Jocelinn Kang discuss the causes and impacts of the outage, and the potential for such outages to impact critical infrastructure.

In this episode, Omkar Gokhale joins host Snigdha Sharma to discuss Aryan Khan's bail hearing.Next, Asad Rehman joins the podcast to tell us about the arrest of 3 Kashmiri students in Uttar Pradesh after they allegedly supported Pakistan's win in the T20 World Cup match against India.Finally, Amitabh Sinha speaks to Shashank Bhargava about the upcoming UN Climate Conference on Climate Change.

Professor Vinayak Dixit of the University of New South Wales explains the importance of climate change as the COP26 summit kicks off in Glasgow. He informs about India's position on climate change and Australia's steps to reduce carbon emissions.

World leaders are coming together for talks that are seen as crucial to bringing climate change under control. Fossil fuel emissions are causing the world to heat up. It's causing extreme weather – heatwaves, floods and droughts – which is making life less secure for millions of people. Despite being responsible for a fraction of carbon emissions, Africa is especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change. So, what's at stake at the COP26 summit for the continent? #AfricaDaily Host: Alan Kasujja (@kasujja) Guest: Peter Musembi (@musembipm)

Something that you should be pondering over the next few weeks during our national humiliation that President Joe Biden will be imposing on America after the COP26 Summit in Glasgow would be: How did we allow China to get so strong and how did we become so weak? The answer to this question is not just the simple “we let them” but in fact the more precise answer is “we built them.” And in more ways than one, past Presidents, past businessmen and current plutocratic businesses like BlackRock have ensured that China “wins” at America's expense. Michael O'Fallon reviews the facts behind these difficult issues on today's Public Occurrences Both Foreign and Domestic. https://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: https://paypal.me/sovnations https://patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: https://sovereignnations.com/subscribe https://facebook.com/SovereignNations https://twitter.com/SovNations https://youtube.com/SovereignNations https://instagram.com/sovnations/ https://minds.com/sovnations?referrer=sovnations https://parler.com/profile/sovnations Podcast: https://soundcloud.com/sovereignnations https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-causes-of-things/id1383339158?mt=2 https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRzLnNvdW5kY2xvdWQuY29tL3VzZXJzL3NvdW5kY2xvdWQ6dXNlcnM6NDQ1NTczODAwL3NvdW5kcy5yc3M https://open.spotify.com/show/3mNCQcQAdawzIYAAuHfy8r https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/sovereign-nations/the-causes-of-things © 2021 Sovereign Nations.

Whilst global leaders head to Glasgow for the COP26 Summit, The Northern Agenda podcast asks what the North is doing to help the UK reach net zero emissions.And Rob Parsons breaks down the results from The Northern Agenda's Levelling Up survey with Westminster editor Dan O'Donoghue and Press Association political correspondent Geri Scott. They discuss whether those surveyed trust the government with the agenda, what it actually means, and which political party is trusted the most to tackle regional inequality.Rob also speaks to Dr Annette Bramley, director of the N8 Research Partnership, a collaboration of the most research-intensive universities in the North of England, about what the government needs to invest into the North to help the country tackle climate change challenges.Redcar MP Jacob Young chats to Dan about how Teeside could experience a 'jobs bonanza' and transform as part of the green industrial revolution. The Tory MP describes how the area has become one of the UK's main hubs for clean energy.And Rob also speaks to Sheffield Hallam MP Olivia Blake about why the decisions on how we cut emissions shouldn't be just left to policymakers. The Labour MP has worked with her constituents to come up with their own vision to tackle climate change, which she will be bringing to 10 Downing Street.The Northern Agenda podcast is presented by Rob Parsons and Dan O'Donoghue, and it is produced by Daniel J.

This week our Beyond the Byline podcast focuses on the Pandora papers. The massive leak of financial documents revealed the wealth of the world's most powerful people, allegedly including 27 EU politicians and global leaders. To find out who was on the list, what the reactions were, and if there would be action, I was joined by EURACTIV's Senior Editor Georgi Gotev. We're also discussing the meeting of the EU environment ministers in Luxembourg, the topics on the table, concerns over energy prices at the COP26 Summit, and the Fit for 55 climate package. I spoke with EURACTIV's Energy and Environment reporter, Kira Taylor, to hear more on this story.  

Alok Sharma, president of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, sounded the alarm that this year's climate summit is “our last best chance of getting this right.” Sharma joins Washington Post Live for a conversation about the issues topping the climate agenda and his recent efforts to ensure international commitment to climate initiatives.

In this 7 min Metal Matters podcast, we discuss 1) why strong free cash flow hasn't yielded many new project approvals, 2) China's steel production cuts and capacity offshoring, and 3) why the countdown to the COP26 Summit will keep the focus on metals involved with the global energy transition over the next three months.

We use KS Robinson's novel as a springboard to explore the themes of being overwraught with insufficient leadership. What are the  many ways forward?It starts with a dramatised reading of the chapter where the head of the ministry, Mary Murphy, is kidnapped by Frank. He is a man traumatised by the great Indian heatwave which left millions dead. As he paces her Zurich apartment she thinks"His presence in her kitchen was all too much like one of her insomniac whirlpools of thought, as if she had stumbled into one of her nightmares while still awake, so that she couldn't get out of it."Then the actors and I discuss with psychologist Lyn Bender how leaders must  accept these messengers from the climate frontlines and act with urgency, while remaining confident and resolute that we can repair the damage.The second item is Greta Thunberg at the 2021 Vienna Climate Summit. She tells leaders that they are pretending to change, pretending to take the science seriously, pretending to wage war on fossil fuels while opening up new oil pipelines, gas fields and coal mines. She says " The audience has grown wary, the show is over"Thirdly we go to Rutgers University to hear the author, Kim Stanley Robinson , talking about  the hard things he had to say. The needle in the eye moments. Naomi Klein calls him a "possibilist" and talks about the sort of dystopian and escapist narratives we are  hard wired  for.  Are we fascinated by the billionaires aiming to colonise space because we were brought up on Noah's Ark? (229) Why Jeff Bezos' Space Dream is Humanity's Nightmare | George Monbiot - YouTubeWe learn about geo-engineering, how capitalism must change and how modern monetary theory can be used for good.If  you haven't read the novel yet do try now. It is an easy way to look at the future and all the paths we could follow once we wake up.Breaks for tango dancing courtesy of La Tabu.  Breaking news after our broadcast. Here are some Greenpeace responses to the latest IPCC report launched at 6pmJoseph Moeno-Kolio, Greenpeace Head of Pacific, said:“The IPCC's latest report leaves no doubt that the fossil fuel companies actively driving the climate crisis need to be stopped if Pacific people are to have any chance of living in safety and with some measure of dignity.”“The climate change genie can't go back into the bottle. It's too late to reverse so much of the damage the mining and burning of coal, oil and gas have already done to our beautiful islands but the world needs to do everything in its power to stop the climate crisis before it ends our entire way of life.”“There is a more than 50 per cent likelihood that 1.5 degrees of warming will be exceeded by the early 2030s under all scenarios. For a region already suffering the effects of 1.1 degrees of warming, this will be disastrous for our communities, our economies and our cultures.”“Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison met last week with Pacific leaders and committed to supporting the Pacific family. This report has found that if Morrison's obsession with fossil fuels isn't immediately ended, these words might one day be nothing more than an empty lament on the family tomb.”“For years, Pacific leaders have been calling on the world to follow the science and act on the causes of global heating. This latest report only further vindicates the awful truth: if we continue to burn fossil fuels, we burn through any chance of a safe, prosperous future.”David Ritter, CEO of Greenpeace Australia Pacific, said:“No more excuses and no more delays on climate change. This is decision time for every political and business leader in Australia. This is the issue on which you will be judged by history and by the children of Australia, whose futures are on the line.”“The IPCC Working Group 1 report makes it clear that we are out of control and accelerating towards disaster. Only if we make deep, rapid emissions cuts including the complete phase out of climate-destroying coal, oil and gas do we have a chance of making it to a safer, habitable future powered by clean energy.”“All decisions our leaders make from today must be informed by this knowledge. Any further expansion of our dangerous gas and coal industries is untenable. Australia must close all coal burning power stations by 2030 at the latest.“We could have made emissions cuts decades ago that would have put us on a path to a safer future, but this was blocked by the vested interests of coal, oil and gas and the politicians who have subsidised and protected these big polluters.” “Australia is one of the most carbon intensive economies in the world, making an outsized contribution to the global crisis we face, and our leaders are obstructive in international negotiations.”“As the biggest exporter of coal and gas in the world, Australia's main export these days is climate damage. Our international trading partners, most of whom are moving rapidly to reduce emissions, will be putting increasing pressure on Australia's leaders in the lead up to the COP26 Summit in November, with our country increasingly seen as a rogue state on climate.”“If this report makes you feel angry, sad and afraid, that is because it is angering, saddening and frightening. Climate change is not an accident or a force of nature. It is caused primarily by the pollution produced by coal, oil and gas corporations.”“We have a choice. We already have the renewable energy technology to make huge emissions cuts in our electricity system which will put us well on the path to a safer future, with many of our biggest and most trusted businesses already committed to 100% renewable electricity by 2025.”“Now, as pressure builds on Australia's leaders to reduce emissions, we can put an end to the fossil fuel industry holding the fortunes of our country to ransom and still choose the future we want.”
