Episode 2: Carbon Suckers

Who’s going to clean up the mess?

We hear the story of how all climate plans are dependent on one big idea. But it might not even work, and we didn’t vote for it. And it all started in Swedish paper mills...

God of wonders, hear the cries of those in distress.

"Glaciers all over Switzerland have lost a quarter of their volume since 2015. Over 1,000 small glaciers have already disappeared."

Industrial livestock doesn’t just pollute our waterways & wipe out biodiversity, it also threatens our very existence.

On a per capita basis, Ireland is among world’s worst livestock polluters.

Transform or Collapse? Dr. Rupert Read and Manda Scott on Climate Adaptation & Moral Courage YouTube video by The Way Forward: Regenerative Conversations

“There is a window, not for the continuation of what we have now, but for the creation of something different without necessarily having to endure a civilisational collapse.”

"Aerial photographs of the areas don’t fully capture the level of destruction, Mr. Winkelman said. He added that in Kwigillingok, 53 houses floated away, and that it looked like the village had been bombed."

Was listening to @laurielaybourn.bsky.social's @overshootpod.bsky.social final ep while editing this - in some ways the ClimatePilgrim.com series is stumbling around looking for the "ethical and psychological" cope with the post-1.5°C world we've entered, to which Laurie devotes the last section.

"Let's say we reach net-zero in 2050, the political narrative around climate change is that that's kind of mission accomplished... but that's the most dangerous moment in history!

Because at the moment of net-zero... the earth system is at its most destabilized" - @laurielaybourn.bsky.social

How to survive 1.5: Laurie Laybourn on his new documentary series, 'Overshoot'. Are we sailing into the storm or are we already in the belly of the whale?

New Wicked Problems just dropped - white-hot timing, with @laurielaybourn.bsky.social about his new documentary series @overshootpod.bsky.social: how to navigate the world after 1.5°C. Just this morning the UK's @thecccuk.bsky.social Baroness Brown warned that 2°C by 2050 would be BEST CASE.

Carney’s climate vision to deprioritize emissions targets, focus on economic advantages ‘Climate competitiveness strategy’ expected this month as Prime Minister seeks to reframe Canada’s approach to environment, energy

@aradwanski.bsky.social preview of Carney’s likely climate strategy confirms that Canada is, yet again, refusing to deal with the oil and gas sector, which generates around 1/3 of Canada’s emissions. Carney is gambling w Canada's economic future & he should know better. 🧵

I see Carney's reversal as a sign moral cowardice. A refusal to act on his past convictions and fight for the good.

I'm not a practitioner of his religion, but I can't help but feel that Pope Francis saw clearly to heart of matters in his 2023 LAUDATE DEUM

This is a very thoughtful answer indeed! I cannot do it justice, but Andreas Malm just gave a talk based in psychoanalytic theory about how climate denial becomes repression which allows for continued cognitive dissonance.

mckinsey plot of electrification share of final energy consumption by country with China leading but slowing post 2025 while the rest of the world basically uniformly does exponential growth towards the end of the period....

i suppose this is one vision of the future, can anyone explain why we might expect this pattern of electrification through 2050??

From Bulwark, quoting one voice rising above all else: Just this past Thursday, Pope Leo asked journalists to “act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing.”

Pentagon retreats from climate fight even as heat and storms slam US troops For decades, the military treated climate crisis as a threat. Now it’s backing away from plans to protect people and bases from extreme weather

Chemistry Nobel Given for Molecules That Aid Carbon Capture Scientists from Japan, the UK and Jordan were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for creating molecular constructions with potential to help combat climate change.

Nobel Prize for Climate Tech. Should actually be a category going forward. But this'll do for today (gift link) - www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
