Bulharsko se navíc v roce 2020 potýkalo s problémem nedostatku vody. „Cokoli, co souvisí se změnou klimatu, bude stále hlubším problémem,“ uvedl novinář Dimiter Kenarov pro Balkan Insight. Dodává přitom, že „vodní krize byla způsobena nejen suchem, ale i špatným hospodařením státu s přírodními zdroji“. Politické strany v Bulharsku tak začaly před volbami mnohem více tematizovat změnu klimatu a environmentální agendu jako takovou. Zájem o environmentální témata souvisí patrně také s příslibem toho, že se Bulharsko stane jedním z hlavních příjemců zelených fondů a fondu pro obnovu v rámci příštího sedmiletého rozpočtu EU.

47 Scientists: World Should Go 100% Renewable Electricity By 2030
https://cleantechnica.com/2021/04/10/47-scientists-world-should-go-100-renewable-electricity-by-2030/

The 47 scientists have published a joint declaration. The bold subheading: “A world based on 100% renewable energy is possible, and we are able to transform the energy system fast enough to avoid the climate catastrophe!” You can also support the declaration by signing this short Google form.

...

To date, 11 countries have reached or exceeded 100% renewable electricity; 12 countries have passed laws to reach 100% renewable electricity by 2030; 49 countries have passed laws to reach 100% renewable electricity by 2050; 14 U.S. states and territories have passed laws or executive orders to reach up to 100% renewable electricity by between 2030 and 2050; over 300 cities worldwide have passed laws to reach 100% renewable electricity by no later than 2050; and over 280 international businesses have committed to 100% renewables across their global operations. However, only Denmark has passed laws to reach 100% renewable energy across all sectors, and it is by 2050.”

What’s the minimum amount of energy needed to provide a decent living—for everyone?
New research finds that global energy consumption in 2050 could be reduced to the levels of the 1960s, despite a population 3x larger.

We need far less energy than we consume

How could such a reduction in output be undertaken deliberately and, as much as possible, peacefully? We need a mechanism for GDP reduction, and for the encouragement of the shift to renewable energy, that falls primarily on the wealthy. A price for carbon, as championed by Neoclassical economists like William Nordhaus, will afflict the poor disproportionately compared to the rich. The riots with which the Gilles Jaunes movement began in France in response to carbon pricing less than 2 years ago should make it obvious that the burden of adjustment must fall on the rich rather than the poor—both within nations and between them.

One system that could work is a dual-price mechanism based on carbon rationing, as proposed by Total Carbon Rationing. Currently, for other reasons, many Central Banks are exploring the concept of “Central Bank Digital Currencies” (CBDCs), which would give every resident in a country an account at the Central Bank. Rather than being a means to create and store the national currency, these accounts could be used to provide a “Universal Carbon Credit” (UCC) to every resident of a country on an equal per capita basis per recipient—so that billionaires would receive the same annual UCC as paupers. To buy any commodity, a consumer would need to pay both its money price, as now, and its CO2 content as well, using UCCs.

Velký znečišťovatel přišel o podporu pojišťovny. „Vítr začíná pro uhelné zdroje vanout zostra,“ říká analytik – Deník N

Pojišťovny s postupujícími plány států na útlum spalování uhlí stále více promýšlejí, nakolik se jim vyplatí tento byznys podporovat. V některých případech dokonce od původních smluv ustupují. Důvodem přitom není pouze „zelená“ image, ale také hodnota akcií.

Z AMA s Gatesem : Responding to the question, “Hey Bill! Why are you buying so much farmland?” posed by one Reddit user, Gates indicated that seed science and biofuel development were major drivers of the acquisitions.

“My investment group chose to do this. It is not connected to climate,” he wrote.

.. jsem furt čekala že má teda monstrózní plán na sustainable farming/carbon capture nebo něco
