No honest person can call this "self-defense"

At least 150 Palestinians were murdered in a massacre today carried out by US-backed Israeli forces against the Jabaliya refugee camp, again. The occupation forces used an air strike to destroy an entire residential square in the north of Gaza. Despicable.

This update from Bisan today is heartbreaking. People are being forced to evacuate what they thought was the safest place in Gaza. There’s nowhere else to go. “This is Nakba”

One of our US Climate Action Network family has been shot in the chest snd is in the ER. We think the shooter was the MAGAT in prior pix. @KOB4 @SourceNm

@stevebloom55 @ChefTomStoneham @ProfBillMcGuire @hausfath That is very true. 2C is by no means safe or acceptable. I just disagree when people say there is zero chance of staying under 2C at this point.

Steve Bloom@stevebloom55·27 Eki

@JamieDeMarco1 @ChefTomStoneham @ProfBillMcGuire @hausfath The key fact to bear in mind is that the equilibrium climate state associated with current GHG levels is very much different from the present one, about 2C hotter and with +~25 meter sea levels. This is an emergency. 2/2

Hampton Roads residents are submerging art of iconic coastal Virginia places into the ocean to symbolize the threat of sea level rise. Thank you @RepElaineLuria for passing the Inflation Reduction Act to protect Virginia Beach from sea level rise.

Gentle reminder that the @iea sees a ban on the sale of fossil fuel boilers in 2025 as a key milestone in its decarbonisation scenario.

@alanwilliamz @ProfBillMcGuire I think that global emissions will peak in the 2020s and decline to zero before 2070. Just yesterday there is new evidence of a near peak. Of course, we need to keep pushing for a much faster transition off fossil fuels. Staying below 2C is possible thehindu.com/sci-tech/energ…

Dr Al Williams 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (El Mochilero)@alanwilliamz·27 Eki

@JamieDeMarco1 @ProfBillMcGuire But we aren't reducing greenhouse gas emissions though are we? They are increasing. We aren't on course for <2C by 2070. Do you think that the existing net zero pledges will be met when economies are still primarily pursuing economic growth and expanding all types of energy?

@rasmusdotse @ClareSaxon @ProfBillMcGuire @IPCC_CH @EsmeStallard Good point. That graph is simplified to be illustriative, not to represent actual modeling. These are more accurate S-Curves for what a 2C pathway would look like: carbonbrief.org/analysis-what-…

Rasmus Larsson 🇸🇪🇺🇦@rasmusdotse·27 Eki

@JamieDeMarco1 @ClareSaxon @ProfBillMcGuire @IPCC_CH @EsmeStallard I wish people could just stop using straight lines when creating climate change scenarios. Large technology shift doesn’t follow linear progressions. S-curves are better to use. Also once the industrial base is established the change is extremely rapid.

English

Jamie DeMarco@JamieDeMarco1·27 Eki

@ChefTomStoneham @ProfBillMcGuire No. @hausfath and others have looked at this question closely and found that when carbon emissions stops, warming stops.

English

Tom Stoneham@ChefTomStoneham·27 Eki

@JamieDeMarco1 @ProfBillMcGuire Is it not the case that emissions already in the atmosphere will cause +1.5c, given the delayed feedback? And wouldn’t cutting emissions also have a warming effect due to the known cooling effect of aerosols?

English

Jamie DeMarco@JamieDeMarco1·26 Eki

@ClareSaxon @ProfBillMcGuire @IPCC_CH @EsmeStallard I completely agree that staying under 1.5C is tragically out of reach at this point. We need to reduce global emissions 45% by 2030 in order to be on track for 1.5C As you quote shows, that is not going to happen. We do, though, have a real and fighting chance to stay under 2C

@JamieDeMarco1 @ProfBillMcGuire “If all pledges were met, global temperatures will rise by 2.5C. Emissions will increase by 10.6% by 2030 compared to 2010. The @IPCC_CH (UN climate scientists) say emissions need to fall by 45% by 2030” via @EsmeStallard

English

Jamie DeMarco@JamieDeMarco1·26 Eki

@ClareSaxon @ProfBillMcGuire @IPCC_CH @EsmeStallard Exactly. Ten years ago the business as usual scenario looked like 4+C degrees of warming. Now, current policies will land us between 2C and 3C. If we bend the curve of global emissions over the next 10 years as much as we bent it over the past 10, then we can stay under 2C.

Jamie DeMarco@JamieDeMarco1·26 Eki

This is great news.

Stand.earth@standearth

In just the past six months, more than 30 (!!) jurisdictions in the US and Canada introduced or passed policies to electrify their buildings and kick fossil fuels to the curb. What’s driving this electric pace and why does it matter? Let’s take a look🧵

Zeke Hausfather@hausfath·25 Eki

And there are some reasons for cautious hope. While 1.5C is pulling out of reach, in many ways its become a lot more likely that we can limit warming below 2C. A decade ago we were heading for 4C+, today we are heading for ~2.6C, and we can bend that curve further down.

Toyota needs to totally scrap and rewrite it's $38 billion EV rollout plan because "Toyota's planning had assumed demand for EVs would not take off for several decades" Now they need to make a new, more ambitious plan from scratch. Don't bet against electrification.

Anti-Semitism and authoritarianism are rising on the Right. It is horrifying and disgusting. If you are the part of an institution that is not yet working to defeat the Republican Party, it is your responsibility to make them pick a side and take a stand. newsletters.theatlantic.com/the-third-rail…
