    TUHOKlimaticka zmena / Thank you so much for ruining my day


    "Given the sheer enormity of climate change, it’s okay to be depressed, to grieve. But please, don’t stay there too long. Join me in pure, unadulterated, righteous anger."


    "I don’t want your hope. I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act. Once you start to act, the hope is everywhere."

    "Our best scientists tell us insistently that a calamity is unfolding, that the life-support systems of the Earth are being damaged in ways that threaten our survival. Yet in the face of these facts we carry on as usual."

    “We’ve got to stop burning fossil fuels. So many aspects of life depend on fossil fuels, except for music and love and education and happiness. These things, which hardly use fossil fuels, are what we must focus on.”

    A nejde o to, že na to nemáme dostatečné technologie, ty by na řešení použít šly, ale chybí nám vůle a představivost je využít. Zůstáváme při zemi, přemýšlíme až moc rezervovaně. Technologický pokrok to sám o sobě nevyřeší. Problém jsme my, ne technologické nástroje.

    Rostouci hladiny oceanu, zmena atmosferickeho proudeni, zmeny v distribuci srazek a sucha. Zmeny karbonoveho, fosforoveho a dusikoveho cyklu, okyselovani oceanu. Jake jsou bezpecnostni rizika a jake potencialni klady dramatickych zmen fungovani zemskeho systemu?
    Ale take jak funguji masove dezinformacni kampane ropneho prumyslu a boj o verejne mineni na prahu noveho klimatickeho rezimu post-holocenu.

    SHINIGAMI: Neni to fer na urovni debaty energo mixu pro stat. Je to fer na urovni energo mixu v kontextu treba nejake vyrobny, ktera jede hlavne pres den, nebo domacnosti, co ma kam ty prebytky ulozit. Tam tento fenomenalni pokles ceny znamena, ze uz se to vyplati i bez dotaci. Pro cloveka, co nema moznost / neumi investovat jinak (akcie, nemovitosti, atp), je to velmi dobra investice uz ted. A ve chvili, kdy z toho zacnes krmit elektroauto se ta navratnost jenom lepsi. Vsadim se klidne o penize, ze behem nasledujicich let uvidime velky rozvoj drobne fotovoltaiky. I kdybys tim ohrival jen vodu a instaloval 4-6 panelu, vrati se ti ta investice do 10 let (i bez dotaci, pokud jsi trochu sikovny). Zivotnost je (v prumeru) vetsi. Kdyz si vzpomenu, jak extremne draha ta technologie byla pred 10-20 lety, kdy jsem si o tom cetl coby div ne "NASA technologii", tak mi to prijde uzasny pokrok.

    “Making peace with nature is the defining task of the 21st century. It must be the top, top priority for everyone, everywhere,” he said, adding that the recovery from Covid-19 was “an epic policy… and moral test”.
    To that end, “the central objective of the United Nations for 2021 is to build a truly global coalition for carbon neutrality. I firmly believe that 2021 can be a new kind of leap year — the year of a quantum leap towards carbon neutrality,” he said.

    2019 A letter to Steven Pinker (and Bill Gates, for that matter) about global poverty
    https://www.jasonhickel.org/blog/2019/2/3/pinker-and-global-poverty

    simply pointed out that we cannot ignore the fact that the period 1820 to circa 1950 was one of violent dispossession across much of the global South. If you have read colonial history, you will know colonizers had immense difficulty getting people to work on their mines and plantations. As it turns out, people tended to prefer their subsistence lifestyles, and wages were not high enough to induce them to leave. Colonizers had to coerce people into the labour market: imposing taxes, enclosing commons and constraining access to food, or just outright forcing people off their land.

    ...

    The narrative that you and Gates peddle relies on a poverty line of $1.90 per day. You are aware, I’m sure, that this line is arbitrary. Remarkably, it has no empirical grounding in terms of how much money is necessary to satisfy actual human needs. Indeed, the empirical evidence we do have demonstrates that $1.90 is far too low to be meaningful, for reasons I have outlined in my work (see here and here). See Reddy and Lahoti’s critique of the $1.90 methodology here.

    Here are a few points to keep in mind. Using the $1.90 line shows that only 700 million people live in poverty. But note that the UN’s FAO says that 815 million people do not have enough calories to sustain even “minimal” human activity. 1.5 billion are food insecure, and do not have enough calories to sustain “normal” human activity. And 2.1 billion suffer from malnutrition. How can there be fewer poor people than hungry and malnourished people? If $1.90 is inadequate to achieve basic nutrition and sustain normal human activity, then it’s too low – period. It’s time for you and Gates to stop using it. Lifting people above this line doesn’t mean lifting them out of poverty, “extreme” or otherwise.

    Remember: $1.90 is the equivalent of what that amount of money could buy in the US in 2011. The economist David Woodward once calculated that to live at this level (in an earlier base year) would be like 35 people trying to survive in Britain “on a single minimum wage, with no benefits of any kind, no gifts, borrowing, scavenging, begging or savings to draw on (since these are all included as ‘income’ in poverty calculations).” That goes beyond any definition of “extreme”. It is absurd. It is an insult to humanity.

    In fact, even the World Bank has repeatedly stated that the line is too low to be used in any but the poorest countries, and should not be used to inform policy. In response to the Atkinson Report on Global Poverty, they created updated poverty lines for lower middle income ($3.20/day) and upper middle income ($5.50/day) countries. At those lines, some 2.4 billion people are in poverty today – more than three times higher than you would have people believe.

    But even these metrics are not good enough. The USDA states that about $6.7/day is necessary for achieving basic nutrition. Peter Edwards argues that people need about $7.40 if they are to achieve normal human life expectancy. The New Economics Foundation concludes that around $8 is necessary to reduce infant mortality by a meaningful margin. Lant Pritchett and Charles Kenny have argued that since the poverty line is based on purchasing power in the US, then it should be linked to the US poverty line – so around $15/day.




    It's not thanks to capitalism that we’re living longer, but progressive politics

    Progress and its discontents
    https://newint.org/features/2019/07/01/long-read-progress-and-its-discontents

    The world has never been better. From global poverty to inequality between nations, all the indicators are showing progress. This is a comforting narrative – popularized by the likes of Bill Gates and Steven Pinker. But is it true? Jason Hickel examines the rise of this so-called ‘New Optimism’.



    The racist double standards of international development
    https://www.aljazeera.com/...ons/2020/7/13/the-racist-double-standards-of-international-development/

    The claim that we are making ‘wonderful progress’ against global poverty is a fallacy based on a colonial mindset.

    In fact, trade data shows that high-income nations are totally reliant on resources and labour from the South. In 2015, high-income nations appropriated a net total of 10.1 billion tonnes of materials, and 379 billion hours of human labour from the rest of the world. There is an enormous net flow of resources and embodied labour from poor countries to rich countries.

    One cannot have it both ways. You cannot have a single global economy when it suits you to use the labour and resources of the poor, but then insist on separation in order to measure their lives by different standards. That is the logic of apartheid.

    Global capitalism depends on resources and labour extracted from the South, and yet the people who render it – including those who work in the factories, mines and plantations of multinational companies – receive but pennies in return. Pinker and Gates tell us to celebrate when workers in the South go from one to two dollars a day. But would we celebrate if we learned that workers in the North were earning two dollars a day, while employed by the biggest brands in the world? No. We would be outraged. Because for workers in the North we apply the standards of morality and justice, yet for workers in the South we apply the standards of bare existence.



    ...



    Finally, it's important to keep in mind what's happened this year, with an additional 400 to 500 million people pushed into poverty by the pandemic

    Top U.S. oil producer Exxon Mobil on Monday said it would write down the value of $17 billion to $20 billion in natural gas properties, its biggest-ever impairment, and slash spending next year to its lowest level in 15 years.
    The oil major is reeling from the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on energy demand and prices, and is trying to protect a rich shareholder payout that is yielding 8.6% and costs nearly $15 billion a year.

    2019 Degrowth dynamics: Modelling policy proposals with system dynamics
    https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17477778.2019.1646108

    This paper builds on well-established ideas of the degrowth community and explores policy proposals from a system dynamics perspective. To better understand the underlying causal structure, it was necessary to go beyond the information available in the literature. Experts in the field of degrowth were contacted by means of an online questionnaire and the information collected was analysed and used to develop a simulation model which we employed to study potential impacts of implementing degrowth policies in developed countries. Simulation results confirm many of the experts’ predictions but also point to some unexpected consequences which would need to be addressed if these policies are to be seriously considered in the future.

    update climate actiontrackeru po Xiove vyhlaseni net zero ciny 2060

    Climate goals ‘within striking distance’
    Net-zero pledges from China, Japan and South Korea and the election of US-president-elect Joe Biden have shifted the needle closer to achieving the targets set by the Paris climate agreement. Climate researchers say the world is on track to keep global warming below 2.1 ℃ compared with pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, and the more ambitious 1.5 ℃ target is “within striking distance”. “We now have north of 50% of global emissions covered by big countries with a zero emissions by mid-century goal,” says climate scientist Bill Hare, who helped to lead the analysis. “When you add all that up, along with what a whole bunch of other countries are doing, then you move the temperature dial from around 2.7 ℃ to really quite close to two degrees.” There are significant caveats: this is the optimistic scenario, which would require countries to back up their bold long-term commitments with the short-term actions to make them happen.

    ‎The RegenNarration: 75. Regenerating Civilisation: Allan Savory on holistic management, scaling & a sense of survival on Apple Podcasts
    https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-regennarration/id1236423380?i=1000500922110

    Haul back through the spread of regenerative agriculture in recent decades, and Allan Savory is there. His global influence is hard to overstate. Here we chat about his extraordinary life, and the evolution of his insights that have proved so transformative for so many. Thinking holistically is one thing. But how do we actually manage our lives and societies holistically? And ultimately, how do we engage the institutions that we’ve come to so distrust, to enable regeneration at scale - in whatever our role or walk of life? Far from just in agriculture, but certainly not without it. Allan believes it’s possible, and proposes how it might be done.
