    TUHO: imho nejhorsi, co se mohlo klimatu stat, je koronavir. pac sme se zase dostali k zakladum maaslowovy hierarchie potreb, misto abysme resili dlouhodoby kulturne-moralne-udrzitelny problemy a meli "nadbytky" casu a zdroju, ktery do reseni muzeme alokovat

    ale treba se pletu, treba spicky evropy opravdu pouzivaji vic neokortexu misto amygdaly a snad budou mit koule to obhajit a prodat i lidem ktery nebudou mit co do huby az se vody trochu uklidni

    pokud ano, tak to bude dalsi tipping point lidsky kulturni evoluce... alespon v EU..

    Minimálně v USA požadavky průmyslu, kterého by se měla klimatická opatření dotknout, padají v posledních dnech na úrodnou půdu. Prezident Trump oznámil, že stojí plně za sdružením amerických leteckých dopravců, které požádalo o kompenzaci ve výši 58 miliard dolarů za ztráty způsobené koronavirem. S šokujícím požadavkem přišel i svaz amerických těžařů: usiluje o zrušení nebo snížení části poplatků, které musí odvádět. Patří mezi ně příspěvky na rekultivaci opuštěných uhelných dolů, ale například i daň určená na podporu horníků s plicními onemocněními. Na koronavirové odpustky by tak doplatili ti, kteří mají svých problémů dost a navíc jsou vůči nákaze velmi zranitelní.

    Jak se k fosilnímu průmyslu postaví Evropa, zatím není úplně jasné. Že se možná nacházíme na bodu zlomu, si uvědomuje více než 150 organizací sdružených do sítě Stay Grounded. Ta evropským ministrům dopravy před jejich virtuálním jednáním minulou středu poslala otevřený dopis, ve kterém žádá, aby leteckému průmyslu neposkytovali ničím nepodmíněnou finanční injekci. Už teď mají aerolinky nadstandardní podmínky, které je zvýhodňují před jinými způsoby dopravy. Letecké palivo je osvobozené od daně a existují i výjimky, díky kterým aerolinky nemusí platit daň z přidané hodnoty. Podle uniklé zprávy Evropské komise by přitom samotné standardní zdanění kerosinu snížilo emise letecké dopravy o 11 procent, aniž by mělo negativní dopad na ekonomiku.

    I'm not certain this is caused by #COVID19 but there have only been two years since 1975 when CO2 rose less since the first of the year.

    Spotřeba elektrické energie v evropských zemích vlivem omezení v souvislosti s infekčním onemocněním Covid-19 významně klesá. Největší pokles hlásí Itálie a Francie, kde spotřeba ve 12. týdnu klesla o 16-20 % ve srovnání s dlouhodobým průměrem. S narůstajícím úsilím zemí pro zpomalení šíření viru lze očekávat, že podobný pokles bude brzy zaznamenán i v dalších evropských zemích.

    Koronavirus má za následek výrazný pokles spotřeby elektřiny. V Itálii klesla o 16 %, ve Francii dokonce o 22 %

    1) This cements November 2018 as global peak oil, because there will now be very little upstream investment to offset existing ~6% underlying decline rates.
    2) At $25 oil and $1.5 natural gas, and (about to be) a serious lack of capital, scaling of renewable energy is now dead in the water.
    3) And worst of all, with energy at rock bottom prices (not costs) it means general public (and politicians) will not emotionally recognize the centrality of fossil energy depletion as central cause of our ecological overshoot situation, nor that the viability of our societies in 10-20 years needs to use our remaining one ‘wish’ (the other 2 we wasted), to use this fossil magic towards some longer lasting higher purpose cultural objectives.

    In any case, even though global oil production has now peaked, financial depletion will be steeper than oil depletion and so for the foreseeable future advanced economies will be awash in oil and gas –expect under $1 a gallon coming to a town near you in early April. What a horrible signal for what we need to do and where we need to go.

    ...

    I really hate the term ‘social distancing’ – we need spatial distancing, with social bonding. During this crisis, reach out to people who politically disagree with you and break bread, find common ground and find some plans on projects you can collaborate on locally in an apolitical collective that makes the future of your city/neighborhood better. This is one of those times when there is no natural leader to do these things so if not you, WHO?

    RADIQAL: OT cont'd: @kámoší disaster kapitalismu od Monbiota:

    The worst possible people are in charge at the worst possible time. In the UK, the US and Australia, the politics of the governing parties have been built on the dismissal and denial of risk. Just as these politics have delayed the necessary responses to climate breakdown, ecological collapse, air and water pollution, obesity and consumer debt, so they appear to have delayed the effective containment of Covid-19.

    Politics is best understood as public relations for particular interests. The interests come first; politics are the means by which they are justified and promoted. On the left, the dominant interest groups can be very large – everyone who uses public services, for example. On the right they tend to be much smaller. In the US, UK and Australia, they are very small indeed: mostly multi-millionaires and a very particular group of companies: those whose profits depend on the cavalier treatment of people and planet.

    The groups these corporations helped to fund – thinktanks and policy units, lobbyists and political action committees – were then used by other interests: private health companies hoping to break up the NHS, pesticide manufacturers seeking to strike down regulatory controls, junk food manufacturers resisting advertising restrictions, billionaires seeking to avoid tax. Between them, these groups honed the justifying ideology for fragmenting and privatising public services, shrinking the state and crippling its ability to govern.

    Globally networked risks and how to respond
    https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12047?page=3
    dl: https://t.co/WQ4a8udMij

    Today’s strongly connected, global networks have produced highly interdependent systems that we do not understand and cannot control well. These systems are vulnerable to failure at all scales, posing serious threats to society, even when external shocks are absent. As the complexity and interaction strengths in our networked world increase, man-made systems can become unstable, creating uncontrollable situations even when decision-makers are well-skilled, have all data and technology at their disposal, and do their best. To make these systems manageable, a fundamental redesign is needed. A ‘Global Systems Science’ might create the required knowledge and paradigm shift in thinking

    Corona lessons for climate change - lifestyle
    https://m.mid-day.com/amp/articles/corona-lessons-for-climate-change/22690205

    The question to ask is that if certain behavioural changes that have been implemented on a large scale during this period—mandatory work from home has reduced vehicular traffic movement restrictions have led to a cut in consumption and eating out; air travel has fallen sharply—can be replicated to combat climate change.

    UK-based Dr Rupert Read from the University of East Anglia (and Extinction Rebellion), says, "The lockdown of entire countries gives us an opportunity to reassess the sort of society we have created. We should reflect on the extreme fragility of our globalised world. The fact that a virus can spread so fast and shut down large sections of the global economy in a matter of months should deeply worry us. This is especially relevant in the context of catastrophic climate change, which threatens to do much the same, but on an unimaginably magnified scale. If we want to get serious about minimising harms like this, then we should scale back globalisation and reduce the extent to which countries require international trade and travel. Producing more stuff on a local or regional level will innoculate us against the types of supply line disruptions that we can expect catastrophic climate change to bring. Reducing international travel will also reduce harmful emissions."

    ...

    Read says, "Countless more people will find themselves destitute unless governments are willing to take radical redistributive action. Beyond this, we should also be looking to question who exactly our economies are currently working for. The economic growth of the last few decades has been characterised by vastly deepening wealth inequalities, while consumption patterns have been ecology-wrecking. The fact is that even before the millions of job losses that we are now seeing in response to the virus, most economies were not working for most people anyway. We should see this crisis as an opportunity to reset our attitude towards economics. Instead of focussing on perpetual economic growth, we ought to reduce overall global consumption and redistribute resources more fairly. This reduction in consumption will weaken the harms of climate collapse, and this redistribution will lead to more people being better able to withstand those harms."

    Coronavirus UK - No bailouts except ‘green’ bailouts
    https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/opinion/coronavirus-uk-no-bailouts-except-green-bailouts/

    Allowing most airline companies simply to fail and turning their resources into a better direction would help to significantly reduce our use of air travel to far more modest amounts. The money earmarked for this industry could be put into alternative industries to create green jobs. Those jets should be beaten into ventilators, solar panels and ploughshares.

    Our government now has the opportunity to realign our economy and shrink sectors like aviation. There is near-universal economic consensus that spending is necessary in these bleak times. Let’s make sure we do such spending wisely. Letting aviation fail, and green jobs rise, would be money well spent. Any bailout of any industry should be subject to stringent green tests. The aviation industry is one of the few that is bound to fail such tests.

    Extinction Rebellion UK launches AloneTogether - a Regenerative Rebellion as part of the response to coronavirus - Extinction Rebellion
    https://rebellion.earth/...together-a-regenerative-rebellion-as-part-of-the-response-to-coronavirus/

    This is a world-changing moment. As coronavirus takes hold of our day to day lives, the way we organise and support each other will change. We will lose much we hold dear.

    This calls for an evolution – not a shelving – of our rebellion. This is a time to remember what we are rebelling for – a thriving and just world of regenerative cultures that can weather crises, foster cooperation and look after each other on a global scale.

    PAD: samozrejme souhlas. regulace jsou ucinne jen tehdy, pokud splnuji neco jako duch samotneho ucelu te regulace (jako je plynuti duchu zakona vs. jeho doslovne vymahani za kazdou cenu), nikoliv ze se neco kontroluje na jednom konci, a druhy konec volne planda ve vzduchu.

    proto je dost usmevny, kdyz free market ekonomove jako ten dole se do roztrhani tela navazeji do samotne existence regulaci a nikoliv do neefektivniho systemu, ktery ty regulace zneuziva. oni neochranuji chod trhu, ale ideologii trhu. pak se krasne ukazuje jejich kognitivni dizonance a neschopnost aplikovat kriticke mysleni.

    SHEFIK:

    During his virtual press conference Guterres gave a nod to the Paris Agreement. He said the pandemic could create an opportunity to rebuild the global economy along more sustainable lines. But he made it clear the world must focus first on the coronavirus crisis.

    As it has struggled to tackle global warming for a quarter century, the world is also finding itself hard-pressed to respond to a global pandemic.

    ...

    The United Nations’ main climate change initiatives have been moved online or are on hold. Several planned U.N. climate action gatherings have been canceled or delayed (Climatewire, March 12).

    The offices of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have canceled all in-person meetings and foreign travel, and are working to arrange online conferences where possible.

    Most recently, the U.N. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a body based in Montreal, called off a series of regional meetings meant to roll out a new emissions trading program to begin this month.

    ICAO said the regional planning seminars for its carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for international aviation simply have been postponed. But no new dates have been proposed.

    With talk that the crisis could extend into the summer—or beyond—more gatherings could face a similar fate. Those include the U.N. Ocean Conference planned for Portugal in early June, and the World Conservation Congress at the end of June to be hosted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in Marseilles, France

    SUMAC: netroufam se poustet do nejakych taxonomii, vzdycky na neco zapomenu, ale pokud se ptas na priklad regulaci, ktere jdou proti stredni tride, tak uz jsem ti dva priklady uvedl. tedy pokud se shodneme na tom, ze dotace neceho (fotovoltaika a solarni baroni), nebo povinny odkup neceho (v podstate nelze natankovat benzin bez MERO) jsou regulace. Pokud chces dalsi, tak treba preregulovany zpusob vystavby (zkus si treba dneska postavit obycejny domek svepomoci) - stat te bude nutit do "uspor" tim, ze ti to naridi a druhou rukou ti nabidne dotace (zelena usporam) - to, ze vlastne usetris +- obnos, ktery stat vybere na DPH, je k smichu (je mozne, ze na dotacich muzes ziskat i vice, ale v mem pripade mi to vyslo skoro stejne). Jednou rukou bere, druhou dava. A cely ten byrokraticky kolotoc plati kdo? Stredni trida.

    Jsou ale i samo dobre regulace, to nerikam. Jen si proste myslim, ze ten problem neni na urovni jestli regulovat nebo ne. Ale jestli spolecnost funguje +- slusne nebo ne (tj. nepodvadi, nelze, nekrade, atp).

    Neither water nor soap - 40% of the world's population can't wash their hands
    https://publicservices.international/...the-worlds-population-cant-wash-their-hands?id=10655&lang=en

    according to UNICEF, 3 billion people (or 40% of the world's population) cannot afford to wash their hands to protect themselves against the coronavirus.

    ...

    With the climate crisis continuing unabated, governments can expect to face even more difficult challenges to ensuring the human right to water and sanitation.

    The coronavirus pandemic reveals even more starkly the fragility of our globalised lifestyle and of our governance systems’ capacities to anticipate and protect. In this context, it is ever more important that we take measures to protect our already imperilled water resources, before it is too late.

    The water sector must raise its voice in demanding comprehensive climate policies. PSI input to the 2019 climate summit (COP25) can help unions make the connections between local and global politics.
