In the aftermath of the global coronavirus pandemic, governments are likely to mobilise significant spending to reinvigorate their economies.
Our new research, based on surveys of more than 200 of the world’s most senior economists and economic officials, suggests that spending this money on climate-friendly “green” policy initiatives could not only help shift the world closer to a net-zero emissions pathway, but could also offer the best economic returns for government spending.
The economic and human costs of the pandemic have been tragically high. It has also had huge short-term climate impacts, with the IEA predicting an 8% drop in CO2 emissions this year. If this were repeated every year this decade it would be roughly in line with a pathway to 1.5C.

There is some truth to this film, hidden behind a multitude of glaring falsehoods. It is important to explore what the film gets right. As climate activists in the era of climate disruption, we must be clear about what our carbon reduction polices are actually going to achieve, as we push local communities around the world to implement Green New Deal programs, Paris Agreement targets, climate mobilizations, and renewable energy initiatives. Let us not get caught up, after all, in lies created not by environmentalists, but by utilities and governments that have propagated them. They are not our lies, and therefore we need not keep them, but renounce them when clearer, bolder, more concerted actions are required to meet the United Nations ten year horizon for “worldwide energy transformation to avert irreversible ecological damage to the planet.”

Abu Dhabi has set a global record-low solar price as authorities confirmed the winning bid in a 2-gigawatt tender. Upon its expected completion in mid-2022, it is slated to be the largest single-site solar energy project in the world.
The Al Dhafra project had five bidders, with the lowest offer coming in at 1.35 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour.

The coronavirus lockdown will cause the biggest drop in energy demand in history, with only renewables managing to increase output through the crisis.
As people around the world consume less oil, gas and coal, electricity generated from the wind and sun will keep flowing, resulting in an unprecedented 8% decline in global carbon dioxide emissions this year, according to a report from the International Energy Agency.
“The energy industry that emerges from this crisis will be significantly different from the one that came before,” Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive director, said in a statement released from the organization’s headquarters in Paris on Thursday.

TADEAS: ymladris se aktualne snazi aktualizovat interni model sama sebe a zabira ji to hodne casu

sledovat cely to klima a pak z toho vybrat veci do svodky a pripravit ji zabira necekane mnozstvi casu, plus ta motivace je dost slaba, je to takova esteticka hricka, jak pises, ale je to vlastne nekomu k necemu?

chybi mi YMLADRIS tydenni klima svodky :(

President of the Bundestag on the Corona crisis
Bundestagspräsident zur Corona-Krise: Schäuble will dem Schutz des Lebens nicht alles unterordnen - Politik - Tagesspiegel Mobil
https://m.tagesspiegel.de/...aeuble-will-dem-schutz-des-lebens-nicht-alles-unterordnen/25770466.html

in the interview, Wolfgang Schäuble talks about the search for the right measure in the corona crisis and what will be different after the pandemic


What are you thinking about?
It is not just the pandemic that is the biggest problem, but climate change, the loss of biodiversity, all the damage that we humans and above all we Europeans do to nature in excess. Hopefully we won't be able to come up with just scrappage rewards that will allow industry to continue as before.

A large part of the people will keep a little more stock. The economy will distance itself somewhat from overly tight supply chains. But these are small questions. The bigger one is: How do we get a more sustainable and, to speak with Ludwig Erhard, more moderate life in business and society? How can we reduce the differences in the world so that they are bearable?

Na světě je ohrožen vyhynutím téměř milion druhů rostlin a živočichů. Nejde jen o orangutany a nosorožce v dalekých zemích, stejně je ohrožen život i tady u nás. Ten problém se nás týká víc, než si myslíte. Česká republika je rekordmanem ve vymírání motýlů, polního ptactva a hmyzu. Zatímco v tropech kácejí pralesy, aby byla uspokojena touha po našem ještě luxusnějším životě a obyvatelé třetího světa nás co nejrychleji dohnali, my si ničíme vlastní krajinu velkoplošným a chemizovaným zemědělstvím, říká přírodovědec Jakub Hruška v DVTV Apel.

YMLADRIS: moc dlouhy takhle po ranu :) nicmene jejich hlavni teze je, ze se prumerna teplota na suchozemi zvedne z 11-15*C na vic nez 29*C (aktualne 1% suchozeme, nove projektujou az 19%). tuhle tezi asi nedokazu vyvratit ani potvrdit, ale zda se mi to do roku 2070 trochu moc a model, kterej tohle projektuje muze bejt dost mimo, vzhledem k tomu, ze se porad zjistuje, ktery vsechny faktory maj na narust teploty vliv, ktery kompenzacni mechanismy priroda ma a uz vubec se nevi, jaky opatreni do roku 2070 lidstvo udela

kazdopadne par dulezitejch antidepresiv z abstraktu:
Much of the impact on human well-being will depend on societal responses. There are often options for local adaptations that could ameliorate effects, given enough resources

At the same time, while some regions may face declining conditions for human thriving, conditions in other places will improve. Therefore, despite the formidable psychological, social, and political barriers to migration, a change in the geographical distribution of human populations and agricultural production is another likely part of the spontaneous or managed adaptive response of humanity to a changing climate

...celkove asi migrace ano, bez ni to nepujde, nekde uz se nebude tak darit, nicmene impact na lidstvo (chudobu, valky, ...) je tezko dohadovatelnej
