En Estados Unidos, la administración Trump borró casi por completo las palabras 'cambio climático' y 'justicia climática' de las páginas gubernamentales en el marco de masivos recortes presupuestarios en varias agencias públicas. Esta política pone en peligro nuestra capacidad para anticipar el cambio climático, dijeron a RFI varios científicos.  El 7 de marzo miles de científicos salieron a las calles para protestar contra los despidos masivos, los recortes y la censura en el sector de la ciencia ambiental y la medicina. Con el lema de ‘Stand up for science' – o ‘en defensa de la ciencia'- grupos de académicos, estudiantes, investigadores marcharon en EEUU y en otras ciudades como en París Francia en solidaridad con sus pares estadounidensesLa cruzada sin precedentes de la segunda administración Trump contra la ciencia y en particular la ciencia ambiental despertó las alarmas de la comunidad científica. Wahington arremetió por ejemplo contra la Agencia Nacional Atmosférica y Oceánica, la NOAA. Creada en 1970 bajo el impulso de Richard Nixon, esta agencia emplea 13.000 personas que se dedican a los pronósticos de huracanes, olas de sequias, inundaciones y monitorean la atmósfera y los océanos en contexto de cambio climático.Pero el departamento de eficacia gubernamental, DOGE, encabezada por el hombre más rico de planeta, Elon Musk, diezmó esta agencia: cerca de 600 empleados de esta agencia fueron despedidos abruptamente, algunos eran encargados de los pronósticos de huracanes, otros monitoreaban datos de sobrepesca.Este gesto es el resultado de la aplicación del plan ultraderechista Project 2025 que llamaba a desmantelar y privatizar la agencia de pronósticos del tiempo de EE.UU. considerándola un vector del "alarmismo climático" que "perjudica la prosperidad del país".El efecto es devastador para las ciencias ambientales, alerta Josep Canadell, reconocido científico y especialista en datos climáticos, director del Global Carbon Project. Canadell es también miembro del panel internacional de científicos sobre cambio climático, el GIEC o IPCC, y firmó una carta abierta para alertar sobre el desmantelamiento de la NOAA.A finales de febrero, la administración Trump prohibió también a los científicos estadunidenses a participar a la 62 reunión del Grupo Internacional de Expertos sobre Cambio Climatico (GIEC, o IPCC en inglés) en China.Una decisión que Pep Canadell califica de “desastre”. “El nivel de investigación de los estadounidenses es muy alto. Y el gobierno no les deja ni participar en videollamadas. En el IPCC necesitamos los mejores investigadores para producir el mejor informe sobre el estado del clima global”.El retiro de los investigadores estadounidenses de los trabajos del GIEC plantea también dificultades a largo plazo. “En el GIEC tenemos tres grupos: los de la ciencia del clima, los que miden los impactos del cambio climático, y un tercer grupo que determina qué es lo que hay que hacer, en materia de energía. Y este grupo era liderado por un grupo de estadounidenses de la NASA, a quienes se les prohibió participar”, alerta Canadell.Escuche la entrevista completa con Josep Canadell en nuestro programa 'Vida en el planeta':Resisten a la censura de las páginas gubernamentalesEn el marco de su cruzada con la ciencia climática, el gobierno de Donald Trump eliminó también miles de páginas web gubernamentales que contienen las palabras 'cambio climático". Desaparecieron también páginas sobre la justicia climática.Ante esta censura, aún más severa que durante el primer mandato, un colectivo de académico agrupados en el Public Environmental Data Project decidió resistir y organiza el rescate y archivo de millones de datos. "Hemos archivado alrededor de 1 millón de páginas de datos gubernamentales medioambientales”, indica Lourdes Vera, doctora en sociología. Vera, quien investiga en particular temas de justicia climática, es parte de este colectivo.“Por ejemplo, rastreamos páginas que fueron retiradas: todo lo que tiene que ver con el cambio climático, la ciencia climática, la justicia ambiental ya no aparece en las páginas del gobierno. Por ejemplo, la Agencia de Protección del Medioambiente, la EPA, tenía una herramienta de consulta de datos sobre justicia medioambiental. Entonces los datos a veces siguen ahí, como los datos ambientales o los datos de censos de población, pero el mapeo, el acceso sencillo en un clic para saber qué instalaciones industriales contaminaron en qué área, esto es lo que ha desaparecido", constata Lourdes Vera, entrevistada por RFI.La investigadora sospecha que esta ofensiva contra la ciencia climática responda tanto a intereses ideológicos como económicos. “Por una parte el gobierno argumenta que todo lo que responde a la justicia ambiental tiene que ver con una agenda y una ideología radical, cuando en realidad ¡son datos empíricos! Y, por otra parte, esta postura del gobierno tiene razones económicas directamente ligadas al lema de campaña 'perfora, baby, perfora( de Trump.“Evidentemente si uno pone el foco de atención a las injusticias y las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero causadas por la industria de los combustibles fósiles, pues claro que la gente se va a poner a luchar contra la industria petrolera!”, concluye Vera.Otros investigadores estadounidenses, consternados por la ofensiva de Trump contra la ciencia, una actitud calificada de golpe de estado por algunos, esperan ahora que la justicia ponga un freno a estos recortes masivos. Una reciente decisión de la Corte judicial de mayoría conservadora, ordenó por ejemplo a la administración Trump reanudar los contratos de USAID, la agencia de cooperación humanitaria internacional, diezmada también por los recortes.Entrevistas: -Pep Canadell, científico y director del Global Carbon Project-Lourdes Vera, doctor en sociología y profesora asistente en la University at Buffalo (EEUU), miembro del Public Environmental Data Project-Emmanuelle Pérez-Tisserant, historiadora (Universidad de Toulouse), impulsora de Stand up for Science, Francia.

What is carbon mineralization?As defined by the U.S. Geological Survey, “carbon mineralization is the process by which carbon dioxide becomes a solid mineral, such as a carbonate…The biggest advantage of carbon mineralization is that the carbon cannot escape back to the atmosphere.” This generally occurs by injecting carbon dioxide underground into certain rock formations so the carbon dioxide takes on a solid form: trapped and unable to reach the atmosphere. How does carbon mineralization work?Two of the main methods in which carbon mineralization occurs are ex-situ carbon mineralization and in-situ carbon mineralization. With ex-situ carbon mineralization, carbon dioxide solids are transported to a site to react with fluids—like water—and gas. In-situ carbon mineralization is the opposite—fluids containing carbon dioxide are funneled through rock formations in which it solidifies. Both of these methods result in carbon dioxide trapped in a solidified form. In a third method of carbon mineralization, surificial mineralization, carbon dioxide reacts with alkaline substances—such as mine tailings, smelter slags, or sedimentary formations—which result in the carbon dioxide taking on a solidified form. In the case of in-situ carbon mineralization or surificial mineralization, carbon dioxide can react with surface water rather than an artificial fluid, replicating natural processes of carbon mineralization.Currently, the biggest drawbacks and barriers preventing carbon mineralization from taking hold as a major climate solution lie in cost and research uncertainties regarding environmental risks. In terms of cost, the price for carbon mineralization is high: 5 million dollars per well to inject carbon dioxide into rock formations. Further, the risks for groundwater and its susceptibility to contamination through this method is unknown, and the potential side effects of contaminating water formations could be devastating for ecological communities which thrive off of these water systems.Who is our guest?Dr. Rob Jackson is a professor and senior research fellow at Stanford University, and author of Into the Clear Blue Sky, a novel on climate solutions. His lab focuses on using scientific knowledge to shape climate policies and reduce the environmental footprint of human activities.

Las emisiones de CO2, principal causa del calentamiento global alcanzan niveles récords, según datos compilados por un consorcio científico, y a pesar de las negociaciones climáticas para reducirlas. ¿En cuántos grados podría calentarse el planeta a finales del siglo? ¿Por qué algunos países logran reducir sus emisiones y otros no? El año pasado, la cumbre climática de Dubái se cerró con la promesa de que el mundo se alejaría gradualmente de los combustibles fósiles. A pesar de este compromiso histórico, las emisiones de CO2, principalmente ligadas a los combustibles fósiles siguen en aumento y alcanzan niveles récords en la atmosfera. Según un equipo de 120 científicos, agrupados en el Global Carbon Project, las emisiones mundiales de CO2 alcanzarán 37.400 millones de toneladas en 2024, 0,8% más que en 2023. Sumando las emisiones ligadas a la deforestación, la cifra llega a 41,6 mil millones de toneladas.Y según la trayectoria actual de reducciones de emisiones, hay 50% de probabilidades de que el calentamiento global supere los 1.5°C, lo que conllevaría a la multiplicación de eventos climáticos extremos en varios países.El cambio climático “acaba de contribuir a la muerte de más de 220 de mis compatriotas en España, en el mayor desastre natural de nuestra historia (…) El planeta no están dando señales cada vez más claras. Pero, aun así, en este momento tan crucial para la humanidad, estamos viendo a muchos gobiernos titubear”, alertó por ejemplo el jefe de gobierno español Pedro Sánchez desde Bakú.La cumbre climática Cop29 de Azerbaiyán, bajo la égida de la ONU, inició en un ambiente caótico. Unos días antes, los electores estadounidenses eligieron por segunda vez a Donald Trump, adversario de las políticas climáticas, lo que arroja una sombra en las futuras negociaciones para luchar contra el calentamiento global.Las guerras en Ucrania, Medio Oriente y Alto Karabaj complican también las relaciones entre grandes potencias. Y aún existe una desconfianza entre países del industrializados que no quieren pagar solos la factura de la transición energética, y los del Sur global, que piden más ayudas. Y mientras arrancaban las negociaciones para definir un nuevo objetivo anual de financiamiento para los países en desarrollo, los científicos del Global Carbon Project, un consorcio internacional, alertan una vez más sobre la insuficiencia de las políticas actuales de lucha contra el cambio climático.Cada año este grupo de 120 científicos realiza la tarea titánica de calcular la cantidad de emisiones de CO2, principales responsables del calentamiento global, que se emiten en nuestro planeta.El director del Global Carbon Project, Pep Canadell nos comparte las conclusiones de este informe. Con el ritmo actual de aumento de emisiones, "el mundo podría calentarse en 2.5 o 3°C a fin del siglo", alerta. ¿Cuáles son los buenos alumnos de la lucha contra el cambio climático? Escuche su entrevista: Y si queremos que nuestro planeta sea aun habitable en unas décadas, y evitar la multiplicación de sequias, olas de calor, huracanes y lluvias torrenciales, es indispensable limitar el calentamiento global a 1.5°C, comparado con la era preindustrial. Para ello, la ONU y los científicos estiman que tenemos que reducir un 42% nuestras emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en 2030 comparado con 1990.

Methane in the Atmosphere: A Serious RiskMany of the solutions we often hear about when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions revolve around reducing carbon emissions, as carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted by human activities. Methane, however, is the second most common greenhouse gas, emitted through agricultural practices, landfill waste, coal mining, and oil and gas operations. While methane generally receives less attention than carbon dioxide when it comes to climate solutions, recent studies have shown that it is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, methane has a global warming potential 28-34 times higher than CO2 upon emission, which increases to 84-86 times over a 20-year period. How does methane enter our skies?The concentration of methane in the atmosphere has more than doubled over the past century. Both everyday infrastructure in older cities and major leaks at oil and gas fields add to the quantity of methane into the atmosphere. As for the source of these leaks, they are largely caused by equipment failures or faulty pipes and vessels. 2,595 gas incidents have been reported in the US from 2010 to 2021, adding up to 26.6 billion cubic feet of methane gas emitted. Methane impacts both the climate system and public health; breathing methane can cause damaged airways, lung diseases, asthma attacks, increased rates of preterm birth, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and heightened stroke risk.  What can we do?Mining operations can be improved to reduce methane leaks and oil and gas operations can greatly reduce emissions throughout the system. As our tools of measurement and technology improve, the world has realized the greater need to attack methane emissions, which led to the Global Methane Pledge in 2021. In this pledge, 158 countries and the EU pledged to make a distinct effort to reduce global methane emissions by at least 30 percent from 2020 levels by 2030. Part of reducing methane emissions involves switching from fossil fuels to electricity generated from renewable sources.  According to Environmental specialist and Stanford professor Dr. Rob Jackson, our skies will become cleaner once we switch to cleaner, electrical energy sources, including electric heat pumps to cool and heat our homes, electric water heaters, and especially electric stoves. According to the Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, methane emissions from gas stoves in America—when scaled to the 20-year global warming potential of the gas—were “comparable to the carbon dioxide emissions of approximately 500,000 gas-powered cars.” Health-wise, a study conducted by Stanford's Doerr School of Sustainability and PSE Healthy Energy found that “children who live in homes with gas stoves had a 24% higher risk of lifetime asthma and a 42% increased risk of having asthma currently.” Dr. Jackson says that making the switch to induction stoves is not only energetically cleaner and prevents the likelihood of gas leaks, but it also prevents us from being exposed to toxic pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and benzene gasses that come from gas stoves.Some potential drawbacks: the cost of electricityWhile induction stoves and a cleaner, electrical society sounds optimal, there are some challenges and barriers to making this a reality. First of all, not every person can afford to implement an induction stove and replace their functioning gas stove, as home renovations, rewirings, and big purchases such as a new stove cost a great deal of money. In this way, income inequality plays a major role in the way climate change impacts different people in society. Dr. Jackson uses the example of a person living in a lower-income community; surrounded by older, poorly-maintained appliances, people in these types of homes often breathe dirtier air indoors than outdoors. This is why Dr. Jackson proposes that the shift to clean energy be gradual; fueled by regulations and government support. Without social support, equal access to cleaner energy cannot be achieved.In terms of major gas leaks, change is hard to make as an individual. According to the Environmental Defense Fund, the best thing we can do is to fight for national policy to repair and prevent leaks wherever they occur: whether at mining facilities or under our sidewalks. This is a difficult task, as all individuals can do is push for political action, however agreements such as the Global Methane Pledge seem to be steps in the right direction.Who is our guest?Dr. Rob Jackson is a professor and senior research fellow at Stanford University, and author of Into the Clear Blue Sky, a novel on climate solutions.

In this episode of the Plant-Based Canada Podcast, we talk to Dr. Robert Jackson -- one of the world's leading climate scientists. Dr. Jackson is Douglas Provostial Professor, Chair of the Earth System Science Department, and Senior Fellow in the Woods Institute for the Environment and Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford. He and his lab study how people affect the Earth, and look for ways to reduce our environmental footprint and improve health and well-being. Dr. Jackson is a Fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Geophysical Union, and the Ecological Society of America. He currently chairs the Global Carbon Project, an international group of hundreds of scientists who track greenhouse gas emissions and communicate science to the public and policymakers.Recently, the Global Carbon Project released a study that found methane concentrations in Earth's atmosphere increased at record speed over the past five years. At least two-thirds of annual methane emissions now come from human activities, including fossil fuel use, agriculture, and landfills and other waste. Atmospheric concentrations of methane are now more than 2.6 times higher than in pre-industrial times – the highest they've been in at least 800-thousand years.Dr. Jackson's new book on climate solutions, Into the Clear Blue Sky: The Path to Restoring Our Atmosphere   examines ways in which we can redefine our climate goals. He argues that instead of fixating on maintaining the Earth's temperature at an arbitrary value, we should be working to restore the atmosphere itself. That means reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the air to pre-industrial levels — starting with super-potent methane.ResourcesDr. Robert Jackson's profile Study: “Human activities now fuel two-thirds of global methane emissions” Dr. Jackson's book: Into the Clear Blue Sky: the Path to Restoring Our Atmosphere Study: “Climate policies that achieved major emission reductions: Global evidence from two decadesBonus PromotionCheck out University of Guelph's online Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate.

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.

Rob Jackson, Chair of the Global Carbon Project and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute, dives into a critical discussion on methane emissions and their impact on climate change. In this episode of Redefining Energy - Tech, he outlines methane's potency, noting that it is 80-90 times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat during the first few decades after its release. Methane's role in climate change is not to be underestimated, especially since it makes up the majority of natural gas, which is often marketed as a "clean" fuel.Jackson raises concerns about methane emissions, particularly in household appliances like gas stoves. These appliances not only leak methane but also release other harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and benzene, which pose significant health risks to vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly. He also discusses the widespread leakage that occurs throughout the natural gas supply chain, challenging the perception of natural gas as a clean energy source.The conversation shifts to the challenges of detecting methane emissions, particularly from oil and gas operations. Jackson highlights advancements in technology, such as satellites, drones, and helicopters, which are used to identify methane super-emitters —large, concentrated leaks of methane. However, pinpointing smaller leaks remains difficult. These advancements, though promising, still face limitations, particularly when it comes to smaller-scale emissions from agriculture or subtle leaks in oil fields.Jackson stresses the need for a comprehensive approach to methane detection. He calls for integrating multiple types of sensors at different scales to address the full scope of emissions. Despite the improvements in technology, methane emissions from various industries continue to be underestimated. The International Council on Clean Transportation's (ICCT) FUMES project, which found higher-than-expected methane emissions from liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships, and Shell's own internal discoveries of methane leaks from its operations, were part of the discussions.The episode concludes with a call to action, as Jackson emphasizes the necessity of reducing methane emissions by enhancing detection methods and accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels. He advocates for a multifaceted strategy to address climate change, one that considers not just methane but also the broader implications of fossil fuel reliance.

In our Climate Story of the Week, Rob Jackson, chair of the Global Carbon Project, a senior fellow at Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment and Precourt Institute for Energy, a professor of earth science at Stanford University, and the author of Into the Clear Blue Sky: The Path to Restoring Our Atmosphere (Simon & Schuster, 2024),  offers a hopeful vision for addressing the climate crisis and an argument for redefining our most urgent goals. To repair the climate, he argues, we need to actively restore the atmosphere to pre-industrial levels of greenhouse gases. 

Rob Jackson is a climate scientist who has been leading global efforts to reduce millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions and improve human health, safety, and air and water quality. Methane emissions are a major focus of Rob's work as there is nothing else that gives as much power to slow global warming over the next decade or two.  Rob's new book, "Into The Clear Blue Sky” the path to restoring our atmosphere is being released at the end of July.  In the book Rob tells the story of the people creating and driving some of the boldest and most impactful climate solutions under development and what motivates and inspires these people to dedicate their careers to addressing climate change. Rob Jackson is the Chair of the Global Carbon Project, a Senior Fellow at Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment and Precourt Institute for Energy, and a professor of earth science at Stanford University. 

Tune in to an exhilarating episode of our podcast where we delve into the heart of climate action in the aviation sector with Finlay Asher, a Scottish mechanical engineer turned climate activist and founded Safe Landing NGO. Finlay's journey from designing future engine concepts at Rolls-Royce to becoming a vocal advocate for the environment is nothing short of inspiring.In this episode, we ask the hard-hitting questions: • How can we proactively prevent a climate crash and safeguard the future of aviation workers? • What fuels Finlay's daily drive to fight for environmental justice? • Discover how first principle thinking led to innovative demand management strategies in aviation. • Explore the intricacies of a carbon budget and its relevance to the Paris Agreement. • Uncover the role of the '300' or 'David against Goliath' in Finlay's life. • Envision a fair future where aeroplanes still grace our skies. Is it possible? • Dive into the debate on contrail management: is it the next step in sustainable aviation? • What are the factors determining whether carbon credits can work in the implementation of contrail avoidance? Finlay, with his unique blend of technical expertise and passion for sustainability, breaks down complex climate issues, making them accessible to all. Get ready to be inspired, informed, and maybe even a little challenged.Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation!

Mark Paul is an assistant professor and a member of the Climate Institute at Rutgers University. His research looks at the causes and effects of inequality, and tries to work through some of the material remedies for inequality in the context of neoliberal capitalism. He's written a great deal on the climate crisis, focusing on economic pathways to crash decarbonization that also take into account the need for economic and environmental justice. His first book, The Ends of Freedom: Reclaiming America's Lost Promise of Economic Rights was published in May of this year. This is now a moment when the existential threat of climate change is felt really intensely across the world. The remaining carbon budget for a 50% likelihood to limit global warming to 1.5, 1.7, and 2C has dwindled in the years since the first COP in 1995. Assuming that our 2023 emission levels continue at their current record-setting rate – and the Global Carbon Project has said that total CO2 emissions in 2023 reached a disturbing 40.9 gigatons – we will burn through the budget for keeping global heating to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels by 2030. In 15 years, the carbon budget for 1.7C will be gone too. In planetary terms, that's a split second. We need crash decarbonization now because, as Paul has pointed out, “climate change is not a problem for future generations—it is a clear and present danger.” So much time has been intentionally wasted, and due to that deadly strategy of delay, Paul says that “we have four times the work to do to decarbonize the planet and dwindling time to do it in.” A lot of the work, within a capitalist economy, is going to take the form of fighting for the appropriate level of investment. It makes all kinds of economic sense to phase-out fossil fuels, and yet because the system has incubated and grown in the toxic stuff, we're stuck in it. Mark argues that if we wait just one decade more to really make the disruptive changes that are needed to decarbonize the fossil economy, we “will drive up the costs associated with decarbonization by 40-70%, which amounts to well over $3 trillion in additional costs.” One of the questions I had to ask him, though, was why is this still such a hard sell? It often feels Sisyphean to try to communicate projected losses in a system that demands and yet resists change. How to frame it in a resonant sort of way? How do we dislodge the presentist attachment to the status quo? There are some answers in this interview, and obviously some real questions remaining. Some of it centres on the question of growth, which Mark seems to feel is often the wrong question. Shrinking the economy, he suggests, needs to be taken seriously from the perspective of its social costs. I'm sympathetic to that because there is the political problem of ensuring that a mass mobilization for climate action doesn't leave people behind. So, for that reason, we also spend time talking about the divisive ways that putting a price on carbon has been tried, and some of the ways it could be done progressively. He says that “a simple carbon tax is, as a form of a consumption tax,” very regressive. It is going to unfairly hit low-income people harder when it should be a luxury tax that targets the wealthy specifically. On this, I would quote Alexis Shotwell's book Against Purity, where she writes that the world must be shared, and with the non-human parts of this world maybe especially. She says that the world, in fact, “offers finite freedom, adequate abundance, modest meaning, and limited happiness. Partial, finite, adequate, modest, limited—and yet worth working on, with, and for.”

Can burning fossil fuels be phased out before the world gets too hot to live in? Synopsis: The Straits Times' climate editor David Fogarty is at COP28 from Nov 23 till Dec 12 in Dubai, the United Nations climate change conference. Every year, the Global Carbon Project releases its Carbon Budget, which projects global fossil fuel and land use emissions. The Global Carbon Project is a consortium of scientific institutions and the annual carbon budget study involves more than 100 scientists.  And this year's study predicts that fossil fuel carbon emissions will reach a new record in 2023, driven largely by strong growth in coal, oil and gas consumption in India and China. On top of this are carbon emissions from land use, such as deforestation and fires globally.  And the world could hit the 1.5 deg C key temperature limit within 7 years at current rates of emissions, the study says. In this episode, recorded at COP28, ST's David Fogarty hosts leading climate scientist Professor Pierre Friedlingstein, who coordinates the Global Carbon Budget study. He is also Chair in Mathematical Modelling of the Climate System at the University of Exeter in Britain. Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 4:07 Key findings from this year's Global Carbon Budget analysis 6:38 What are the trends for fossil fuel emissions in India and China? 9:38 Which findings from this year's study concern Professor Friedlingstein the most, and which give him hope? 12:00 Is the world any closer to a global peak of emissions? 14:56 The land and oceans absorb a lot of CO2; will they remain in good shape as the world warms?

L'émission 28 Minutes du 06/12/2023 COP28 : face au défi du carbone, la grande revanche du nucléaire ? Jamais les émissions mondiales de CO2 n'ont été aussi élevées. Selon le collectif Global Carbon Project, en 2023, le monde va émettre 36,8 milliards de tonnes de CO2, nouveau record historique, en hausse de 1,1 % par rapport à 2022. La faute à une utilisation toujours plus massive du gaz, du pétrole, et surtout du charbon pour produire de l'électricité. Alors que la réduction des énergies fossiles est au cœur des débats de la COP28 à Dubaï, deux sources d'énergie ont le vent en poupe : les énergies renouvelables… et le nucléaire. De plus en plus de pays voient en l'atome le moyen de produire de l'électricité décarbonée, et donc de remplir l'objectif climatique prioritaire pour la planète. La France, la Belgique, le Japon ou encore le Ghana, ont appelé dans une déclaration commune à tripler la production d'énergie nucléaire dans le monde d'ici 2050.

Keeping the world honest on greenhouse gas emissions is vital in fighting climate change.  Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Every year, humanity releases more than 50 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the air – mainly from burning and extracting fossil fuels and chopping down forests. Nature can't absorb all this extra, so the gases accumulate in the air, heating up the planet and driving more extreme weather and rising sea levels. It's like adding more fuel to a fire.  While many nations have agreed on targets to cut emissions and reach net zero emissions around the middle of this century, it's becoming increasingly critical to accurately measure where all these emissions are coming from and if governments and corporations are really taking the steps they say they will.  Getting a true picture of global greenhouse gas emissions is vital and that means accurate and transparent data for all to see. It's about ensuring a level playing field and no backsliding. But not all nations or companies have the ability or desire to accurately measure and report their emissions. That is changing with better analytical methods and new technologies, such as satellites that can directly measure greenhouse gas emissions from power plants or coal mines – meaning there's no more hiding.  To discuss this is Dr Pep Canadell, executive director of the Global Carbon Project, a scientific group that analyses global greenhouse gas emissions trends. He explains what the group does and how accuracy is improving, especially ahead of a major United Nations' global climate assessment that is being released at the end of this year.  Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 1:09 What is the Global Carbon Project and why is its work important? 3:49 Where does a lot of data on greenhouse gas emissions come from and can we trust it? 6:58 Are there still significant data gaps and how do you deal with this? 11:40 Measuring greenhouse gases might seem a bit nerdy. Explain why tracking emissions is vital for monitoring global action on tackling climate change. 14:56 How has new technology improved data accuracy and transparency? For instance, new generations of satellites.  Produced by: David Fogarty (dfogarty@sph.com.sg), Ernest Luis & Teo Tong Kai Edited by: Hadyu Rahim Follow Green Pulse Podcast here and rate us: Channel: https://str.sg/JWaf Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWaY Spotify: https://str.sg/JWag Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/J6EV  Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg Follow David Fogarty on Twitter: https://str.sg/JLM6 Read his stories: https://str.sg/JLMu --- Discover more ST podcast channels: In Your Opinion: https://str.sg/w7Qt Asian Insider: https://str.sg/JWa7 Health Check: https://str.sg/JWaN Green Pulse: https://str.sg/JWaf Your Money & Career: https://str.sg/wB2m ST Sports Talk: https://str.sg/JWRE #PopVultures: https://str.sg/JWad Music Lab: https://str.sg/w9TX Discover ST Podcasts: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Discover BT Podcasts: https://bt.sg/pcPL --- Special edition series: True Crimes Of Asia (new): https://str.sg/i44T The Unsolved Mysteries of South-east Asia (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuZ2 Invisible Asia (9 eps): https://str.sg/wuZn Stop Scams (10 eps): https://str.sg/wuZB Singapore's War On Covid (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuJa --- Follow our shows then, if you like short, practical podcasts! #greenpulseSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens to carbon dioxide after we emit it? Half is absorbed within a year or two by plants and the oceans, the rest, in effect, stays in the atmosphere. So, does that mean we have to halve emissions to stop concentrations rising? Unfortunately, no.Despite the vast reserves of carbon dissolved in the oceans, carbon dioxide released by burning fossil fuels does not get diluted away, but makes an indelible mark on climate for hundreds of thousands of years.A lecture by Myles Allen recorded on 7 March 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/carbon-zeroGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Global nuclear watchdog International Energy Agency found that CO2 emissions rose by under one per cent in 2022. But energy experts warn that global energy-related emissions are still on an unsustainable growth trajectory.  Rob Jackson, Professor of earth system science at Stanford University and Chairman of the Global Carbon Project provides his insight.   [Find Us on Podcast Platforms] Awedio | Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | OmnyStudio   [Contact Us] Presenters: Lynlee Foo Producer: Yeo Kai Ting (ykaiting@sph.com.sg)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Natural gas is often seen as an environmentally friendly alternative to coal, yet it's a fossil fuel and gives off climate warming emissions when burned. On the internet there are many adverts suggesting that natural gas is a clean and green way to reduce emissions. We investigate whether these adverts mislead the public as to whether gas is really ‘green.'

L'émission 28 Minutes du 07/11/2022 Au programme de l'émission du 7 novembre 2022 ⬇ Eddy Mitchell raconte en BD son adolescence de « titi parisien » Il fut un temps où les rues du 20e arrondissement de Paris se vivaient comme des plaines du far west.

Un Paris populaire entre Belleville et Place des fêtes, dans lequel il déambule et observe la population, diverse et pittoresque. Il s'y forgera une passion pour le cinéma américain, à raison de deux films par jour, plus intéressé par le grand écran que par les devoirs d'école. Claude Moine, devenu Eddy Mitchell, deviendra le chanteur et comédien que l'on connaît, et raconte quatre jours marquants de cette jeunesse dans “Des Lilas à Belleville”, un récit illustré par Ralph Meyer et publié chez Dargaud. Il est sur le plateau de 28 Minutes pour parler, entre autres, musique country et “dernière séance”.COP27 : celui qui doit faire le plus d'efforts… “c'est l'autre” ? “Les Européens payent mais on est les seuls à payer.” Avant de prononcer un discours à la COP27, qui s'est ouvert le dimanche 6 novembre 2022 à Charm el-Cheikh en Égypte, Emmanuel Macron a échangé ce lundi 7 avec des jeunes engagés sur le climat. Il a notamment été questionné sur le fonds qui permettrait d'indemniser les pays ayant subi des dommages liés au réchauffement climatique. Si nous ne sommes pas tous égaux devant les conséquences dramatiques des dérèglements du climat, certains pays sont aussi de bien plus gros pollueurs que d'autres. En effet, selon l'organisation “Global Carbon Project”, en 2020, la France représenterait 0,3 milliard de tonnes des émissions mondiales de CO2, quand la Chine en aurait émis 10,7 milliards de tonnes, les USA 4,7 milliards et l'Inde 2,4 milliards. Mais doit-on vraiment adapter les actions de chacun ? Le devoir d'exemplarité ne doit-il pas primer ? Et que ressortira-t-il de la COP27, que certains activistes jugent d'ores et déjà inefficace ?Enfin, retrouvez également les chroniques de Xavier Mauduit et d'Alix Van Pée. 28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au vendredi à 20h05.

Anjali Sharma (pictured) was among a group of young people who had felt success, but then have it turn to tragedy when a court case considered their future safety from climate change fell from being in their favour to be reversed, allowing Australia's Environment Minister, Sussan Ley, to again progress fossil fuel projects without consideration of Australia's young people.

There's a lot of talk right now about the effects of climate change and the challenges involved in mitigation, but new research from the Global Carbon Project comes to some surprising conclusions about the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Mainstreet's oceans guy Boris Worm spoke with host Jeff Douglas about the new findings.

Glen Peters is Research Director at Center for International Climate Research (CICERO) in Oslo. Previously he was a post-doctoral researcher at the Industrial Ecology Programme at NTNU.Dr Peters is a worldwide authority on socio-economic drivers of emissions. He has performed pioneering work on how international trade intricately connects emission drivers in different countries. Recent work has focused on trends in carbon emissions, socio-economic drivers, and future emission pathways at the global and country level (particularly China and India). Other key research areas include emission metrics and the carbon cycle. Dr Peters is on the Scientific Steering Committee of the Global Carbon Project.While at the University of Newcastle (Australia) he received a University Medal and Deans Medal for undergraduate performance (Mathematics/Physics) and the DH Trollope Medal for his PhD (Environmental Engineering). He has twice received the Environmental Science & Technology Best Policy Paper Award (2007, 2009).Further reading:Glen's Google Scholar profilehttps://scholar.google.no/citations?user=EW93x94AAAAJGlobal Mitigation Curveshttps://folk.universitetetioslo.no/roberan/t/global_mitigation_curves.shtml

La COP 21 en 2015, dite Accord de Paris, a été jugée comme un franc succès et un indéniable apport pour le mieux-être de notre planète. Présentée comme un sommet parmi les plus marquants de l'Histoire avec le Protocole de Kyoto en 1997. Hélas, quitte à jouer les trouble-fêtes, il faut reconnaître que cela est un leurre, n'en déplaise à Laurent Fabius qui ne cesse de se gargariser d'avoir été le président de cette COP dans la Ville Lumière. En voici la principale raison. Parce que, figurez-vous, les belles promesses parisiennes de l'industrie mondiale, grande pourvoyeuse de CO₂, n'ont pas été tenues. Loin de là. Pire, la situation s'est aggravée comme le révèle depuis deux à trois jours une étude officielle du Global Carbon Project avec près de 5% de gaz à effets de serre supplémentaires. Pourtant, souvenez-vous, lors du premier confinement, l'intelligentsia clamait sur tous les toits que « ce serait tout autre après et qu'une nouvelle ère plus respectueuse de la Nature, plus humaniste se mettrait en place ». On est très loin du compte, quand on constate que le consumérisme est reparti en flèche. Je constate néanmoins ce que d'aucuns pourraient appeler un hasard, et que, pour ma part, je considère comme une conséquence normale, le taux de CO₂ augmente tout comme le compte en banque des actionnaires du CAC 40, c'est-à-dire, les 40 valeurs boursières de référence à Paris, voire le compte en banque des business-milliardaires qui fructifie encore davantage. Alors, neutralité carbone par-ci, compensation carbone par-là, cette litanie chantée depuis une décennie, est un « piège dangereux », ou « grosse arnaque », clament Terre Solidaire, Les Amis de la Terre, Greenpeace, le Centre de Coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement, de rares médias, tels Libération et, bien sûr, Fréquence Terre. Pourquoi cette défiance ? Parce que les industries et autres pourvoyeurs d'émissions à effets de serre ne tiennent pas leurs promesses ou, encore, les dévoient. Il faut savoir que la neutralité carbone se réalise en deux étapes : la première est de réduire drastiquement les émissions de gaz nocifs par une diminution ou éradication des énergies fossiles, c'est-à-dire le pétrole, le charbon, le gaz (et à remplacer par des énergies renouvelables, par l'hydrogène vert…), ensuite et, seulement, compenser les émissions résiduelles. Alors, en bons capitalistes, les industries, avec l'aval des politiciens qui détournent le regard, passent directement à la deuxième étape. Elles font croire qu'elles sont vertueuses mais continuent donc de polluer sans vergogne. C'est Alain Karsenty, chercheur et, entre autres, membre du comité scientifique et technique du Fonds Français pour l'Environnement Mondial (FFEM), qui vient d'évoquer cet écran de fumées nauséabondes qui cache la réalité faite de mensonges, tromperies, ces sociétés qui plantent des arbres en masse au nom de la compensation carbone, mais, à vrai dire, elles plantent des espèces à la croissance rapide afin de développer, tenez-vous bien, l'industrie du bois-énergie ! Alors, croyez-vous encore les Total Energies, Shell, BP, Air France, Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Carrefour, Unilever, Nestlé, la BNP, Paribas, la Société Générale et d'autres qui, la main sur le cœur et la bouche en cul de poule, susurrent qu'ils visent la neutralité carbone ou bien écoutez-vous Greta Thunberg lorsqu'elle lance depuis Glasgow : « Ce n'est pas une conférence climat. C'est un festival de greenwashing des pays riches. Une célébration de deux semaines du business habituel et du bla-bla. Glasgow est foncièrement un échec et ce n'est un secret pour personne ! » ?

*) Rebels say Ethiopia capital could fall within weeks Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa could fall within "months if not weeks", an Oromo group allied with Tigrayan rebels has told AFP. The Tigray People's Liberation Front has claimed significant gains in recent days. Ethiopia's prime minister urged civilians to rise up and “bury”the Tigray forces in a post that Facebook has removed over incitement of violence. As fighting between rebels and Abiy Ahmed's government drags on, a joint UN-Ethiopia report reveals possible "crimes against humanity" by all sides. *) Pentagon finds no misconduct in Afghanistan drone strike A Pentagon review has concluded that the drone strike that killed Afghan children a few days before the US quit Afghanistan was not caused by misconduct or negligence. It did not recommend any disciplinary action. The review found breakdowns in communication and in the process of identifying the target of the bombing. It concluded the mistaken strike happened despite prudent measures to prevent civilian deaths. *) Global CO2 emissions for 2021 near record levels: report Global CO2 emissions, caused mainly by burning fossil fuels, are expected to be just shy of the record set in 2019. China's carbon pollution now accounts for nearly a third of global emissions, the Global Carbon Project reported. The report comes as the COP26 summit grapples for ways to beat back the threat of catastrophic warming. Emissions from gas and highly polluting coal will grow more in 2021 than they fell in 2020 during the pandemic-driven economic slowdown, the report said. *) International Criminal Court to probe abuses in Venezuela The International Criminal Court is opening a formal investigation into allegations of torture and extrajudicial killings committed by Venezuelan security forces. It's the first time a country in Latin America is facing scrutiny for possible crimes against humanity from the court. ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan said he was aware of Venezuela's political “fault lines” and “geopolitical divisions" but that his job was to uphold law, not settle scores. And finally… *) South African author Damon Galgut wins Booker Prize South African author Damon Galgut has won the Booker Prize for "The Promise", a novel about a white family's failed commitment to give their Black maid her own home. It was Galgut's third nomination for the $68,175 English language literary award. Galgut, wrote his first novel at the age of 17 and has been nominated for the Booker Prize twice before.

Critical Zones | Terrestrische Universität [12.11.2020] with Julia Pongratz and Stéphane Verlet-Bottéro How do we use land? How do we nurture georefuges in the age of extinction? These questions will be the starting point of our Terrestrial University, where the voices of climate researcher Prof. Dr. Julia Pongratz and artist Stéphane Verlet-Bottéro will meet. In this dialogue, we will encounter the many ramifications of the question: how do we use land, and what are the effects of land use on climate? What land do we live on, and how does climate change affect it? Are there »right« uses of land, and what kind of politics do they require? Such questions ask for terrestrial approaches: entangled within the global and the local, navigating the planetary scale and local ecosystems. »Becoming terrestrial«, as the notion of the »Critical Zone« demands, also means knowing what land we care for, and what shelters we may maintain and where our refuges are – some more aspects this interdisciplinary encounter might reflect on. Julia Pongratz is full professor for Physical Geography and Land Use Systems at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität of Munich. She studied geography at the LMU and the University of Maryland, received her PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology/University of Hamburg on the early impact of human activity on climate, and conducted research on geoengineering and food security at the Carnegie Institution, Department of Global Ecology, Stanford. Since 2013 she has been leading a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology on Earth system modeling and land use effects. She is a member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Global Carbon Project and contributes as author to the latest and upcoming Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Stéphane Verlet-Bottéro is an artist, environmental engineer, and curator. At the crossroads of research, social practice, and activism, his work develops territory-based strategies that explore ecologies of care. He is a lecturer at Ecole Centrale Paris, curator at NA Project since 2012, a researcher at Unbewitch Finance Lab, a cofounding agent of the art and permaculture platform Zone Sensible. He co-published »Même si on pense que c’est foutu« (L’Harmattan, 2017), a book on grassroots movements and radical ecology. Recent exhibitions and performances include »Ruines et Futurs« (Partcours Festival, Dakar), »The School of Mutants« (Oslo Architecture Triennale), »Rituals to Unbewitch Finance« (Aurillac Festival), »Forum for Radical Imagination and Environmental Knowledge« (Sorbonne University). He has had curatorial collaborations with Institut Kunst (Basel), Technê Institute (Buffalo), Artsadmin (London), Science Museum (London), documenta (13) (Kassel).

After featuring many participants of the Journey, it's time to talk to hosts again. Together with Lars Reyes-Gjølme and Laura Riuttanen from the Northern Light Journey we dig into the world of visions and projects that address climate action and sustainability in Europe. His Bachelor in Theatre brings out the creative side of Lars, whose interest have moved on from "land to sea" as he frames it. With a Masters in Entrepreneurship and Business Development he continues to work with NTNU (Norwegian University of Sciene and Technology) and Climate KIC (Accelerator) to support and lead innovation projects for sustainable development. Laura, who has a PhD in meteorology is pointing out that weather affects everyone on this planet. Physics and cloud formation are her key interest and therefore, she really understands the changes in the climatic system. In the episode, we feature several European projects such as CityXChange for sustainable urban development as well as (maybe the first!!!) church in the world with a carbon neutral strategy. We also hear about ocean pollution. Tune in to get to know some more!

Selamat tahun baru 2021 massa kampus! Menurut tim Global Carbon Project, emisi karbon global sepanjang tahun 2020 turun sebesar 2,4 miliar ton karena pandemi corona ini, Kira-kira darimana datangnya ya emisi karbon ini? Nah, tahukah kamu bahwa sebenarnya aktivitas kita sehari-hari dapat menghasilkan emisi karbon? Nah, jawaban dari pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu bisa kamu dapatkan di Aya Podcast 2.0! Pada Aya Podcast kali ini kita akan mengupas soal jejak karbon bareng Kak Amanda dan Kak Reza dari TL’17. Daripada penasaran, yuk langsung aja dengerin Aya Podcast 2.0!

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support The average UK citizen produces 8.45 metric tonnes of CO2 (tCO2e) per year. The average globally is 4.8. In the next ten years – and in order to prevent a 1.5 degrees of global warming – we need to reduce our individual carbon footprints by as much as 65%. These findings come from a report titled 1.5 Degree Lifestyles which states that worldwide, citizens and societies need to aim for per-person consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions targets of 2.5 tCO2e in 2030, 1.4 by 2040, and 0.7 by 2050 in order to keep global temperature rise to within 1.5 degrees of change. The Global Carbon Project (whose graphs are above) estimates we have less than 10 years at current levels of emission before our 1.5º budget is entirely spent. At that point, our ability to correct the see-saw and prevent the threat of climate change tipping points setting in – something which James Lovelock theorises is already happening – is seriously hampered. As Fiona Harvey writes in the Guardian, scientists are warning that beyond a rise of 2º, the impacts of climate breakdown are likely to become catastrophic and irreversible, yet current global commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement are estimated to put the world on track for 3º of heating. As the IPCC reflect in their Special Report, cutting our lifestyles to meet these targets isn't going to happen by magic nor is it going to happen overnight. We must alter our lifestyles and we must do it immediately. Pathways limiting global warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot would require rapid and far-reaching transitions […] These systems transitions are unprecedented in terms of scale […] and imply deep emissions reductions in all sectors, a wide portfolio of mitigation options and a significant upscaling of investments in those options – IPCC ‘Global Warming of 1.5º' We must accept these simple facts: Adapted from Professor Julia Steinberger's ‘10 Basic Facts for Human and Planetary Survival' diagram. The climate crisis is really bad. On our current trajectory it will become much worse. We can still prevent it from worsening. This will require rapid, far-reaching changes. This change is compulsory for human survival. The systems we operate in are responsible for this crisis. Maintaining the current trajectory is in the interest of most of these systems. Therefore, we should not expect these systems to change themselves. People built these systems. It is people who must change these systems. Survival depends on us changing these systems. To quote American architect and futurist Buckminster Fuller: You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. To cut down his carbon footprint in line with the targets that 1.5 Degree Lifestyles espouses, Lloyd Alter of Treehugger is trying to live what he calls a 2.5-tonne lifestyle. Meanwhile, British activist Rosalind Readhead is attempting to live a 1-tonne lifestyle and has been doing so since September 2019 using Professor Mike Berners-Lee's ‘How Bad Are Bananas?: The Carbon Footprint of Everything' as a guide. Rosalind says her ‘rapid, imperfect prototype' aims to ‘give life to what net zero carbon means from a personal perspective [and to] add human flesh to an abstract and remote number.' At its core, the climate crisis is a carbon crisis. There is too much carbon in the air and to fix the crisis we must commit to removing some. Planting trees to combat emissions is tantamount to carbon offsetting and whilst I respect that carbon offsets alone cannot solve the problem of global warming – and while there have undoubtedly been abuses in the way offsets have been marketed in the past – I do not feel this invalidates their use in relation to emissions which people are unable to reduce directly. That said, forestation projects are not certified carbon offsets. The carbon emissions they will sequester will happen in the future, with the vast majority of carbon being captured after 40 years. It is plainly obvious we should try and avoid as many emissions as possible today, then seek to offset the rest. I'm calling emissions I cannot avoid ‘circumstantial emissions'; they are emissions that are a consequence (of commuting, of living a modern and connected life) rather than a choice (going on jet-set holidays, buying clothes I do not need). I have calculated my own carbon footprint in a similar way to Rosalind, using Professor Mike Berners-Lee's ‘How Bad Are Bananas?: The Carbon Footprint of Everything' as a guide, by assuming worse case scenarios. My footprint turns out to be 4 tonnes of CO2e per annum. Dave Erasmus, modern day woodsman and leader of both an on- and off-grid lifestyle, has crunched the numbers and reveals that a Pinus Sylverstris (Scots Pine), which is classified as a slow growing conifer, will sequester, at conservative estimates, 355kg of CO2e over a 60 year period. If I've understood his numbers correctly, by year 60 and at its peak, the tree will sequester a kilogram of CO2e once every seven days. This equates to an average of 5kg CO2e per year over a sixty year period. A government forestry report states that trees in Kielder Forest absorb 2kg of CO2 per year on average whilst Madagascan charity Eden Reforestation Projects reckons that a mangrove tree will sequester over 308kg of CO2 from the atmosphere over the growth life of the tree, averaging 12.3kg per tree per annum. The success of tree planting as a carbon offsetting measure depends on three key factors: Commit to planting suitable trees in a suitable environments. Commit to taking care of them over their lifetimes. Commit to not burning them after their lifetimes. Burning the tree would release the carbon stored within it back into the atmosphere; a sixty-year lesson in futility. Scientists in Zurich have theorised that covering an area the size of the United States of America could be the most effective climate change solution to date. It would represent a greater than 25% increase in forested area, including more than 200 gigatonnes of additional carbon sequestered at maturity, capturing around two-thirds of carbon emissions released by humans since the Industrial Revolution. That is where this talk of ‘planting a trillion trees' that we heard so much of at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2020 comes from. Using Dave's calculations and basing all planting on our three tree rules, sequestering my 4 tonnes of CO2e over a 60-year period would require just 12 trees. Assuming I have been emitting 4 tonnes of CO2e per year for my 25 years so far and will continue to so until I reach the UK life expectancy of 80 I would need to plant one thousand trees. 4 tonnes in kilograms is 4,000. 4,000 x 80 years = 320,000kg. 320,000kg divided by 308kg (the amount sequestered per mangrove plant) = 1,038 trees. 320,000kg divided by 355kg (the amount sequestered per Scots Pine) = 901 trees I joined Bristol-based Offset Earth (now known as Ecologi) almost one year ago because I knew that tree planting was one of the ways forward. Buying the 1,038 mangrove trees via Ecologi that I would need to offset a 4-tonne lifestyle for 80 years would cost £123. Remembering that the average UK citizen produces 8.45 tCO2e per year, it would cost £325 to plant the 2,759 trees required. According to the World Bank, 1.236 billion people live in so-called ‘high income economies'; the current Gross National Income per capita of this set of people is $45,307. Assuming the average person works from 18 to the current UK retirement age, the £325 it would cost to offset their entire lifetime of emissions would equate to £0.56 pence per monthly paycheque. Even if we were to opt with costlier tree planting schemes like One Tree Planted where one tree costs one US dollar, planting 2,759 trees would cost less than a single months salary in a year, a cost that is plainly affordable when spread over a working career. You may think this is heading the direction of arguing for a so-called flat-rate ‘tree tax' and although it clearly has its advantages (and I support the idea of taxes) I do not feel the solution is a tax… So what is? I've written on multiple occasions about how the best way to affect positive change is to fund it. Giving regularly not only helps protect the causes you care about but it also helps charities plan ahead and make long term investments and improvements that change the world and the lives of people on it. – Myself, in 2019 I think the best climate change solution is simply the knowledge that your entire lifetime can be carbon-neutral (and even carbon-negative) for less than you spend on a spur-of-the-moment shopping spree one stuck-at-home Black Friday. I've been writing this essay on-and-off for the past year. It has sat in various states of completion and with various different conclusions for many of those months. Writing and researching this essay opened my eyes to plainly obvious solutions and answered questions I didn't know I had about climate change. I leave you with a question of your own to answer: Knowing that tree plantation programs are well within your budget and that the solution to catastrophic climate change is simply to pull carbon from the air, an act trees do by design, is it not a civic and moral duty to plant those trees?

Methane is a very powerful greenhouse gas — yet it doesn’t get much attention in climate discussions. Methane emissions, which come mostly from fossil fuels and agriculture, keep going up. So why is this so hard to get a handle on? Rob Jackson, an Earth sciences professor at Stanford University in California and chair of the Global Carbon Project, explains.

Wer oder was ist verantwortlich für den aktuellen Klimawandel? Ist es wirklich der Mensch? Und woher wissen wir das so genau? Begleite Gabriel Baunach in den Gerichtsprozess, der diese Fragen ein für alle Mal klären soll (Das Gerichtsurteil basiert übrigens auf einem realen Fall des High Court in London, bei dem im Jahr 2007 gegen die Klimawandel-Dokumentation „Eine unbequeme Wahrheit“ von Al Gore, des ehemaligen Vize-Präsidenten der USA, geklagt wurde). Nach dieser Folge wirst du endlich verstanden haben, wie der IPCC den menschlichen Einfluss auf das Klimasystem herausgefunden hat. Diese Folge wird dir also fundierte Argumente für die nächste skeptische Klima-Diskussion geben. Zudem wirst du ab Minute 17:00 in einem kurzen Crashkurs lernen, welche die wichtigsten Treibhausgase sind. Lass uns am Ende gerne eine Bewertung und einen Kommentar da.

L’équipe du Global Carbon Project publie chaque année un rapport annuel des tendances mondiales des émissions de carbone. Notre collaboratrice journaliste scientifique, et animatrice de l’émission Futur simple, Valérie Levée nous parle de cette équipe essentiellement britannique avec des collègues en Suède, Pays-Bas et Australie. Compte tenu des circonstances du confinement, ils se sont intéressés aux GES émis pendant la pandémie. Extrait de l'émission Les matins éphémères (7h à 9h) du 22 mai 2020.

The coronavirus crisis has been teaching us a lot about the fragility of our world. We are learning about the virus on a daily basis, including the effect it has had on the environment. Global Carbon Project estimates global CO2 could fall by 5% in 2020 as a result of the virus. This is the biggest one-year fall since end of WW2. While in China, emissions fell by 25% in first quarter of 2020, but are already showing clear signs of rebounding back to ‘normal’. John Gibbons, environmental columnist and campaigner, joined Mario to walk us through the long lasting effects Covid-19 will have on the environment.

Rallenta la crescita di emissioni di CO2 da carbone ma aumentano quelle da gas naturaleIl rapporto del Global Carbon Project sottolinea che la direzione è ancora sbagliata

DRAWDOWN "From this moment on despair ends and tactics begin". Radio Team 6th May :Vivien Langford and Kurt Johnson Interviews. Andy Britt -Producer.Sue Holmes - Former Assistant Commissioner with the productivity Commission and now on the board of Get Up!Lachlan Rule - Researcher at Beyond Zero Emissions talking about RefrigerantsJoshua Bishop - Head of Sustainable Food with World Wildlife Fund for NatureDrawdown, by Paul Hawken, ranks solutions to reverse global heating in the gigatonnes of CO2 saved.What are we emitting globally at the moment? According to the Global Carbon Project in 2018 we emitted 37.1 gigatonnes.We will ask Sue Holmes :What Economic policies are needed to take these practical tactics to global scale?.Are there plenty of jobs for everyone if we focus on the survival of the living world?We will ask Lachlan Rule to tell us how the world has a binding agreement to phase out climate changing refrigerants. It is called the Kigali Amendment . It's mandatory and there are sanctions. Why is the moment when you throw away your old fridge the most risky for the climate? What labels should you look for in a new air conditioner?We will learn from Joshua Bishop who spent 6 years in Mali, why food waste is different in countries that throw it away and countries where there is not enough. Joshua works directly with markets as a whole including beef, forest productions, palm oil, seafood and sugar cane.  DRAWDOWN solutions#1 A change in refrigerant chemicals used in air con and fridges could save 89.74 GIGATONNES.#3  Reducing Food waste at the source and by the consumer could save 70.53 GIGATONNESStudy GuideThis show is dedicated to Polly Higgins https://www.monbiot.com/2019/03/30/law-of-nature/Refrigeration https://www.drawdown.org/solutions/materials/refrigerant-managementYOUTube on Refrigerant management :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0y97pxkHvUYoutube Paul Hawken on Food waste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb8rfJuG1wACarbon Taxes How they work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWM9gIVvm78Take the Quiz https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2019/04/specials/climate-change-solutions-quiz/index.htmlTop articlesBill Mc Kibben quoting Tim Buckley from IEEFA on stranded assets and fossil fuel trends : https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2019/04/04/future-without-fossil-fuels/George Monbiot  on civic rebellion on climate inaction "No one is coming to save us". https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/apr/15/rebellion-prevent-ecological-apocalypse-civil-disobedienceIf you enjoyed this podcast consider donating to Beyond Zero Emissions to help keep out two shows on air.Beyond Zero Emissions is a volunteer-powered climate solutions think tank and our research is showing that Australia can rapidly move to a zero carbon emissions economy.If donating via direct debit, make the payment to:Beyond Zero Emissions FundBank: Bendigo BankBSB:  633-000Account:  139-914-402Enter your ‘name’ and ‘donation’ so it appears on the BZE bank statementTo set up a “monthly donation,” enter the date of the first payment, and select “monthly” recurring payment.So that we can send you a tax receipt, please send an email to info@bze.org.au, including: (1) your name, (2) the donation        

Il 2019 sembra l'anno in cui ci si è resi conto all'improvviso dell'urgenza di mitigare gli effetti del cambiamento climatico. A dire il vero i climatologi si sgolano sulla questione da decenni, ma abbiamo spesso, soprattutto nel “primo mondo”, pensato che in nome dello sviluppo la questione climatica potesse essere lasciata indietro.Addirittura, tra gli anni Ottanta e Novanta si era fatta strada la teoria della “modernizzazione ecologica”, portata avanti su tutti da Anthony Giddens, il padre della “terza via” che porterà poi Tony Blair a fare il primo ministro britannico per due mandati. Bene, quell'idea che lo sviluppo porti con sé la sostenibilità si è dovuta scontrare con la crescita di moltissimi Paesi che hanno popolazioni enormi. E questo ci porta in Asia.Il boom demografico asiatico infatti fa sì che l'Asia emetta più anidride carbonica rispetto a qualsiasi altra regione del mondo, e che, guardando ai dati del 2017 del Global Carbon Project, Cina, India e Giappone si collochino al primo, al terzo e al quinto posto tra i paesi più inquinanti del mondo. Le emissioni della Cina rappresentano da sole un quarto delle emissioni globali di CO2, ben oltre quelle del secondo produttore al mondo, ovvero gli Stati Uniti.Però, se calcoliamo le emissioni pro capite, allora il quadro cambia completamente, e tra i paesi asiatici il Giappone rimane l'unico a classificarsi tra i primi cinque al mondo. Storicamente, il Nord America e l'Europa rappresentavano metà della CO2 emessa dalla rivoluzione industriale, mentre la Cina e l'India rappresentavano solo il 14%.Oggi ripartiamo proprio da questi dati per una puntata dedicata al clima.

Host Kristin Hayes talks with Dr. Christian Flachsland, head of the Governance Working Group at Germany's Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, and an assistant professor for Climate and Energy Governance at the Hertie School of Governance. They discuss the ongoing carbon pricing debate in Germany, the EU Emissions Trading System (EUETS), and ways to make these policies more efficient while still achieving climate goals.

An eye-opening conversation with Dr. Burke Hales and Dr. George Waldbusser about the effects of ocean acidification on ocean ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest. Professors and research partners at Oregon State University, Burke and George definitively linked an increase in ocean acidification to the collapse of oyster seed production at a commercial oyster hatchery in Oregon. We discussed the overarching science behind climate change, the chemistry behind atmospheric and ocean carbon and acidity, effects on marine organisms and their ecosystems, and more!

This is Scott Amyx with today’s Climate Change Flash Briefing. The problem of cutting emissions is that it leads to difficult economic choices. A growing global economy inevitably stokes more energy demand. The continuing growth in global emissions is happening even though renewable energy sources are growing. It’s just that they’re still far too small. According to Global Carbon Project research authors, “Solar and wind are doing quite well but in China and India, the solar and wind are just filling new demand. Solar and wind are nowhere near big enough yet to replace fossil fuels.” The issue is that of supply-side capacity. Stay tuned next time to find out why the world is so dependent on oil, gas and coal. And to learn more, visit https://ScottAmyx.com/.

This is Scott Amyx with today’s Climate Change Flash Briefing. According to a study by the Global Carbon Project, a booming global market for cars helped drive CO2 emissions to an all-time high in 2018. The main factor in the near 3 percent rise has been the increased use of coal in China, driven by government efforts to boost a flagging economy. In 2017, global emissions grew 1.6 percent. The rise in 2018 is estimated to be 2.7 percent globally. The increase would bring fossil fuel and industrial emissions to a record high of 37.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year. The growth in emissions is coming from nearly 5 percent increased emissions in China and more than 6 percent in India along with growth in other nations. Emissions by the U.S. grew 3.4 percent in 2018, the biggest increase in 8 years, while EU countries declined by just under 1 percent. Stay tuned next time to find out which sector’s unabated appetite for oil is only rising. And to learn more, visit https://ScottAmyx.com/.

For three years, the world's emissions of greenhouses gases from fossil fuels and industry had plateaued. But the release of new figures from the Global Carbon Project suggests that pause may be over. The Global Carbon Project's Dr Pep Canadell gives us the numbers and explains why emissions are on the up again. Climate policy expert Professor Frank Jotzo asks what that means for policies around the world.

When it comes to climate change action, looking to the next century, while essential, is difficult to do. But in this episode of Not for Podcast we envision a green future and find out what it will take to get there. Short-termism is one of the biggest barriers to overcome in the fight against climate change, given that electoral terms only last several years, corporations are driven by short-term profit, and society is increasingly focused on the here and now. But climate scientists warn that failure to act immediately - and radically - with a long-term vision is allowing the future impacts of climate change to compound. In the third and final episode of Green Nation, Reimagining Climate Change, we speak to experts thinking beyond this century and ask, what will the world look like in the future?   Download the transcript here. Featured in this episode: Dr Pep Canadell, executive director of the Global Carbon Project and CSIRO research scientist Tom Quinn, executive director of the Future Business Council Dr Bonnie McBain, tutor in sustainability science at the University of Newcastle Damon Gameau, award-winning director now working on a new science-fiction documentary, 2040. Produced by Ellie Cooper and Wendy Williams.
