10 years to transform the future of humanity. Johan Rockström: Safe Future for Humanity on Earth. The heat is on over the climate crisis. Only radical measures will work. Drowned cities; stagnant seas; intolerable heatwaves; entire nations uninhabitable… and more than 11 billion humans.
Wir riskieren den Fortbestand unserer Zivilisation' – klimareporter° Klimareporter°: Professor Schellnhuber, Sie haben zusammen mit Kollegen vor einem "planetaren Notfall" in Bezug auf das Klima gewarnt.
Die Menschheit sei dabei, Kippelemente des Klimasystems umzustoßen – mit verheerenden Folgen. Yes, the Climate Crisis May Wipe out Six Billion People. “Carbon emissions may continue to rise, the polar ice caps may continue to melt, crop yields may continue to decline, the world’s forests may continue to burn, coastal cities may continue to sink under rising seas and droughts may continue to wipe out fertile farmlands, but the messiahs of hope assure us that all will be right in the end.
Only it won’t.” — Chris Hedges One thing the climate crisis underscores is that Homo sapiens are not primarily a rational species. When forced to make important decisions, particularly decisions affecting our economic security or socio-political status, primitive instinct and raw emotion tend to take the upper hand. This is not a good thing if the fate of society is at stake. At 4°C of warming, would a billion people survive? What scientists say. By David Spratt In a way it’s an obscene question: if the planet warms by 4 degrees Celsius (°C), would only a billion people survive and many billions perish?
Obscene in the sense of the obscenity of arguing about the exact body count from a genocide. Arte - Die Erdzerstörer.

Mal wieder. Wie schon seit so vielen Jahren. Denn nicht erst bei der aktuellen Klimakonferenz in Glasgow sprechen Politiker und Journalisten, Experten und Aktivisten von der nun wirklich letzten Chance, eine weltweite Katastrophe aufzuhalten. Der britische Regierungschef spricht sogar von einer Minute vor zwölf. Dass es allerhöchste Eisenbahn ist und wir nicht länger warten dürfen, davon war auch schon bei den Konferenzen in Paris 2015 oder in Kopenhagen 2009 die Rede. Der wahre Generationenkonflikt: Klimaschutz vs. Staatsschulden?
World's richest 10% produce half of global carbon emissions, says Oxfam. The richest 10% of people produce half of Earth’s climate-harming fossil-fuel emissions, while the poorest half contribute a mere 10%, British charity Oxfam said in a report released Wednesday.
Oxfam published the numbers as negotiators from 195 countries met in Paris to wrangle over a climate rescue pact. Disputes over how to share responsibility for curbing greenhouse-gas emissions and aiding climate-vulnerable countries are among the thorniest and longest-running issues in the 25-year-old UN climate process. “Rich, high emitters should be held accountable for their emissions, no matter where they live,” Oxfam climate policy head, Tim Gore, said in a statement. 1 Prozent der Weltbevölkerung verursacht 50 Prozent der CO2-Emissionen durch Flugverkehr - Scientists for Future Österreich.

The Climate Crisis. Food and Agriculture. Peak Everything: Eight Things We Are Running Out Of And Why. Getty ImagesWhy is everything running out at the same time?
We did a series on Planet Green where we looked at why those basic things that we take for granted, like water, food and fuel are getting expensive and scarce, all at once.Peak Corn: Blame Earl Butz. Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford's Secretary of Agriculture brought in the Farm Bill that dramatically increased the amount of corn produced in America. He encouraged farmers to "get big or get out," and to plant crops like corn "from fence row to fence row. " Further billions in subsidies to farmers encouraged production, and soon America was awash in cheap grain, and with it cheap meat. Food costs as a portion of the American diet dropped to the lowest level in history; we became corn.

We are now operating in overdraft. For the rest of the year, we will maintain our ecological deficit by drawing down local resource stocks and accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Just as a bank statement tracks income against expenditures, Global Footprint Network measures humanity’s demand for and supply of natural resources and ecological services.
And the data is sobering. In 1993, Earth Overshoot Day—the approximate date our resource consumption for a given year exceeds the planet’s ability to replenish—fell on October 21. Earth Overshoot Day, a concept originally developed by Global Footprint Network partner and U.K. think tank new economics foundation, is the annual marker of when we begin living beyond our means in a given year. Was bedeutet Earth Overshoot Day? Die Menschen verbrauchen innerhalb von acht Monaten die Kapazität der globalen Ressourcen eines ganzen Jahres.
Am 20. August war Earth Overshoot Day, der Tag, an dem die Menschheit die natürlichen Ressourcen eines ganzen Jahres erschöpft hat. Ökologischer Fussabdruck.
