    Why Insulate Britain and XR are Failing to Win Over the Public – Byline Times
    https://bylinetimes.com/2021/09/28/why-insulate-britain-and-xr-are-failing-to-win-over-the-public/

    IB was born out of that frustration and its response was to become more radical still. But Read believes that whilst the general public’s awareness of climate change has moved, partly due to actions from groups like XR, the actions that IB are engaged in don’t have the “positive dimension” that will mobilise the 3.5% of the population that XR had always estimated was needed to galvanise change.

    He tells Byline Times that there is a “grave danger in actions that appear to target ordinary people” which he dubs blunt instruments that have no power to resonate and to change minds. In fact, Read argues that they may in fact be counterproductive and cause a waning in public sympathy, as well as encouraging more repressive police action.

    Read has argued instead for what he calls “Robin Hood actions” by radical groups – such as stealing insulation and installing it in the lofts of social housing residents. He argues as well for more entryism into what he calls “leverage points’, pointing to groups such as Lawyers For Net-Zero. He argues instead for a “mass moderate flank” to put pressure on governments, rather than more radical, smaller groups.

    Parfitt and others engaged in IB actions are pursuing another path – in her case on the grounds of obedience “to a higher authority”. She tells Byline Times that she sees the work she does as resisting “the forces of evil that I see residing in the fossil fuel industry.” IB’s protests are due to gather pace again next week. The debate within the environmental movement – as well as amongst the general public – isn’t going to be over soon.

    TADEAS: ale vždyť ty kamiony stejně nemaj řidiče, tak není ještě trochu overkill blokovat jim dálnice, navíc k tomu? :-)

    hele, já celkově nevím. když se zamýšlím nad možností spekulace s emisníma povolenkama, tak vlastně nevím, jestli to je řešení, které dává smysl. Sice se mělo sáhnout na peníze fosilnímu průmyslu, do té míry, že banky jim nechtějí půjčovat, to chápu. Ale ta věc, že můžu koupit emisní povolenku a se ziskem jí prodat... to si myslím nebude úplně dělat dobrotu... vzpory tu budou, ale ne klimatické... budou tu vzpoury proti emisním povolenkám, obávám se.

    'Thousands are dying': Why Insulate Britain activists say they have no choice but to block motorways | Euronews
    https://www.euronews.com/green/2021/09/24/thousands-are-dying-why-insulate-britain-activists-say-they-have-no-choice-but-to-block-mo

    Insulate Britain’s aim, according to an organisation spokesperson, is simple. Speaking with Euronews Green, they explain that they want the “government to start the most cost-effective means of reducing our carbon emissions, by insulating the nation's housing stock.”

    Insulate Britain’s website explains that the UK’s 29 million homes account for 15 per cent of the country’s emissions. But also that they are “the oldest and least energy-efficient housing stock in Europe.”

    ...

    Not only would implementing insulation changes enable the UK to make good on its promises to meet climate change targets under the Paris Agreement, but Insulate Britain also says it would mean that more than one in 10 families in fuel poverty could heat their homes and cook food.

    ...

    Their tactics, which have been likened to those of Extinction Rebellion (XR), who in the past blocked London transport and landmarks, have faced significant criticism. Ecological philosopher and green activist Rupert Read explains both the public and media reaction has been hugely negative so far, “even more so than with XR.”

    ...

    Climate activists have been blocking sections of the UK’s busiest motorways, as well as the port in Dover.

    Do toho se ještě na trhu i v rámci Green Dealu projevuje takzvané EGS. Znamená to třeba, že banky už nejsou ochotny poskytnout „špinavým“ projektům jakékoli financování. Uhelný byznys do nich samozřejmě patří. Banky už vám tedy vůbec nepůjčí?

    Banky? Tam se dnes cítím jako drogový dealer. Ty už nám nic nedají. Faktem je, že nám dnes ani nevedou účty. Některé menší české banky to dělají, ale většina už ne.

    A jak financujete potřebné investice?

    Jen z vlastních zdrojů. Dnes rekonstrukce uhelných elektráren a jejich ekologické modernizace platíme ze svých peněz.

    Což konkrétně u ČEZu znamená, že to jsou zdroje od daňových poplatníků.

    ČEZ je od svých akcionářů tlačen do toho, aby šel do zelena. Jim nic jiného nezbývá. Sev.en Energy se nyní chystá na splnění přísnějších emisních limitů, což zvládneme, ale stojí to velké peníze. A hlavním problémem je, že vlastně vůbec nevíte, na jak dlouho to děláte. Modernizace jednoho kotle vyjde třeba na 1,5 miliardy korun. A my jich máme devět. To fakt není sranda vše zaplatit.

    Large-scale solar can cool nearby areas – pv magazine International
    https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/10/06/large-scale-solar-can-cool-nearby-areas/

    Solar facilities were found to produce “cool islands” that extend up to 700 meters from the boundaries of the arrays. Land surface temperature was reduced by up to 2.3 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) at 100 meters away; the cooling effects tapered off exponentially to 700 meters.
    ...
    The study authors concluded the effect could have impact on local ecological processes. Productivity, decomposition, and ultimately the carbon balance could be skewed by the cooling. The scale of effect depends on location, and impacts could range from positive, negative, or inconsequential based on local ecosystems.

    For example, in California’s Mojave Desert, lower surface temperatures leads to reduced germination rates and a loss of biodiversity. But, in the Tibetan Plateau, lower surface temperatures could potentially reduce the amount of methane lost to the atmosphere, said the scientists.

    Climate Executive Summary — RethinkX
    https://www.rethinkx.com/climate-executive-summary

    Our previous research has shown that disruptions of the energy, transportation, and food sectors are inevitable. Solar, wind, and batteries (SWB) will disrupt coal, oil, and gas. Autonomous electric vehicles (A-EVs) providing transportation-as-a-service (TaaS) will disrupt internal combustion engines and private vehicle ownership. And precision fermentation and cellular agriculture (PFCA) will disrupt meat, milk, and other animal products. The three disruptions are already unfolding simultaneously, and their implications for climate change are profound. Yet it will be up to us to decide whether or not we deploy these technologies worldwide rapidly enough to avoid dangerous climate change.

    The greatest barrier to fighting climate change is therefore our mindset. Conventional thinking views emissions mitigation through a linear, reductive lens that fails to appreciate the character, speed, and dynamics of change in both natural systems and human systems. By failing to fully appreciate these systems dynamics, conventional models have tended to underestimate not only the threat of climate change itself, but also the potential of technology to address it. As a result, we have seen a consistent pattern of mistakes and corrections over time, where each year the underestimated threat of climate change is corrected in the direction of ‘worse than we originally thought’ while the underestimated potential of technology to address it is corrected in the direction of ‘better than we originally thought’. Conventional thinking has therefore wasted time, attention, and resources on an eclectic array of ‘Band-Aid’ approaches to solving climate change like subsidies and taxes, biofuels, clean coal, clean diesel and other superficial techno-fixes that merely treat symptoms rather than the underlying problem.

    Instead, a simpler and more effective approach is to focus on a handful of key technologies that will transform the entire foundation of our economy. But simple does not mean easy. Simple means we understand the key drivers and levers of major systemic change. However, there are many obstacles to overcome, and we cannot afford to be complacent. Despite the tremendous opportunities that the clean disruption of energy, transportation, and food will bring, technology alone is not enough. Societies around the world must make the right choices. We can either accelerate the disruptions and solve the climate crisis by ushering in a new era of clean prosperity, or we can waste precious time and trillions of dollars propping up the incumbent system with an ineffective ‘all-of-the-above’ approach that exposes humanity to additional risk of climate change impacts.

    In this report, we help decisionmakers understand these choices by categorizing sources of emissions according to three stages of mitigation readiness: Research, Deploy, and Scale. More than three quarters of global GHG emissions can be mitigated by just eight key technologies that are either already at market and able to scale immediately, or ready to begin deploying to market. This provides a guide for decision-making based on how to prioritize our efforts to maximize mitigation benefits as soon as possible. Without such a framework, decisionmakers are left with a scattershot rather than focused approach to fighting climate change, which runs the risk of misallocating financial, material, and political resources.

    To maximize the climate benefits of these disruptions, investors, policymakers, civic leaders, and other decisionmakers should focus attention and resources in direct proportion to where the fastest and most impactful opportunities for emissions mitigation are located. Since the overwhelming majority of these opportunities already lie in the Deploy and Scale stages, our primary efforts should be on enabling economic forces to do the heavy lifting by ensuring open, competitive, and transparent markets. This means removing barriers that favor the incumbents such as utility monopolies in the energy sector, removing regulatory hurdles to electric and autonomous vehicles in the transportation sector, and removing livestock farming subsidies and protections in the food sector.

    PETER_PAN: Manabe je velky borec. Doporucuju precist knihu Paula Edwardse, ktery zkouma historii vyvoje klimaticke vedy (A vast machiine), kde je jeho role v ustanoveni klimaticke vedy zminovana.

    But headlines are never as reliable as going to the scientific source itself, and the ultimate source, in this case, is the first accurate climate model ever: by Syukuro Manabe and Richard T. Wetherald. 50 years after their groundbreaking 1967 paper, the science can be robustly evaluated, and they got almost everything exactly right.

    V letech 2009 až 2018 se plocha korálových útesů snížila o 14 procent. Uvedla to ve své studii mezinárodní organizace GCRMN, která stav korálových útesů monitoruje. Za negativní vývoj podle badatelů mohou v první řadě vyšší teploty vod světových oceánů, uvedla dnes agentura AFP. Ve sledovaném období se plocha korálových útesů snížila o 11 700 kilometrů čtverečních, což je plocha, která odpovídá rozměru Středočeského kraje a Prahy.
