We expect the Arctic Ocean to lose its sea-ice cover in summer for the first time over the next two decades. This will probably be the first landscape that disappears because of human activities, indicating yet again how powerful we humans have become in shaping the face of our planet.

The past 12 months have seen our world enter new territory. Last year will go down as the first time that the global average temperature exceeded 1.5C above preindustrial times over a calendar year. We could crash permanently through the 1.5C guardrail within the next five years, and shatter the 2C limit as soon as 2034. This will almost certainly result in the tipping points for collapse of the Greenland and west Antarctic ice sheets being crossed, committing us to the drowning of coastal towns and cities.

OODBYE, OLD FRIEND
After thirteen years of loyal service, our legendary BOB BARKER is decommissioned with a heavy heart.

Sea Shepherd Global is responsible for the safety of the crew members on the high seas - and also for the safety of the environment. Therefore, the difficult decision was made to take the BOB BARKER out of service for good. ⚓💙

The Arctic tundra is undergoing a dramatic transformation, driven by frequent wildfires that are turning it into a net source of carbon dioxide emissions after millennia of acting as a carbon sink.

The CO2 emissions heating the planet are expected to keep rising in 2024, despite a global pledge made in late 2023 to “transition away from fossil fuels”. They must fall by 45% by 2030 to have a chance of limiting heating to 1.5C.

Research shows that when people trust the government, they are more likely to support climate action, even when it entails short-term costs. But trust is often lacking, and for good reason – governments have a track record of overpromising and underdelivering.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
The red kite (Milvus milvus), an iconic, graceful raptor has had a turbulent relationship with people over the centuries, from once being praised to almost going extinct in the UK. Translocated Spanish red kites saved UK populations last century but now their Spanish cousins are in severe trouble. This project is reinforcing the southernmost populations through reintroducing 90-100 red kites from the UK to Extremadura in Spain, over a 3-year period.

"Can Lula still save the Amazon?"
by Joaquim Salles for Grist [Nov 21, 2024] [Audio available]

https://grist.org/global-indigenous-affairs-desk/can-lula-still-save-the-amazon-brazil/

Quotes:
"The power imbalance in Brazil's government keeps environmental protections and Indigenous rights under threat."

x
"Between January and November of 2023, the [Lula] government issued 40 percent more infractions against illegal deforestation in the Amazon when compared to the same period in 2022, when Bolsonaro was still in office."

"Lula also reestablished the Amazon Fund, an international pool of money used to support conservation efforts in the rainforest. Just this week, at the G20 Summit, outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden pledged $50 million to the fund."

x
"And yet, despite the government’s actions, environmental protections and Indigenous rights are still under threat. Lula is governing alongside the most pro-agribusiness congress in Brazilian history, which renders his ability to protect Brazil’s forests and Indigenous peoples in the long term severely constrained."

"Brazil’s equivalent to the House of Representatives, is made up of politicians from 19 different parties../\..Weak party cohesion makes it easier for interest groups to step into the vacuum and act as this coordination device."

"Agribusiness has long been one of the most powerful interest groups in Brazilian politics, but its influence has grown steadily over the past decade as the electorate shifted to the right and the sector developed more sophisticated strategies to affect politics."

"Today, the agrarian caucus is larger than any single party in the Brazilian legislature. "This gives them immense leverage towards any president.”

"Much of the coordination around the legislative agenda takes place away from congress (in) a think tank founded in 2011 and financed largely by major agribusiness corporations, including some in the U.S. and the European Union."
Among IPA’s main backers are
* Brazilian beef giant #JBS,
* German pesticide producer #BASF, and the
* U.S.-based corporation #Cargill

"The agrarian caucus has tallied several../\.. new legislation (on) use of pesticides, which Human Rights Watch called a “serious threat to the environment and the right to health,” removes barriers for previously banned substances and reduces the regulatory oversight of the health and environment agencies../\..Lula attempted to veto parts of the bill, but was overruled by congress."

"Another recent victory for the agrarian caucus came as a major blow to #IndigenousRights. Agribusiness has (for) called marco temporal (“time frame,” in English), which posits that Indigenous groups can only claim their traditional lands if they were occupying it in 1988, the year the current Brazilian constitution was drafted.
It disregards the fact that many Indigenous groups were expelled from their native lands long before that date."

"The theory had been making its way through the Brazilian justice system for 16 years, until it was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court last year. Blatantly flouting the court’s ruling, congress passed a bill codifying marco temporal into law. Lula tried to veto the bill, but he was overruled by the agrarian caucus again."

"The government has limited tools at its disposal to block anti-environmental legislation. In the past, the executive branch had greater control over discretionary spending and was able to use this to its advantage while negotiating with congress."

"Among projects which have a high likelihood of passing, like the #BrazilsForestCode, the key piece of legislation governing the use and management of forests. “It would make control much more difficult because illegal forms of deforestation would become legal,” said Araújo."

"The move could open almost 18 million hectares of forest to agricultural development. That is an area roughly the size of New York state, New Jersey, and Massachusetts combined."

"Another bill in the package removes protections for native grasslands, including large parts of the Cerrado and the Pantanal (the world’s largest tropical wetland). In theory this would affect 48 millions hectares of native vegetation"

"Yet another bill, which has already been approved in the Chamber of Deputies, overhauls the process of environmental licensing, essentially reducing it to a rubber stamp. "You might as well not have licensing legislation” said Araújo."

"Part of the reason many of these bills have a chance of passing is the Lula government’s limited leverage../\..During these negotiations, some environmentalists believe concerns over Brazil’s forests fall by the wayside."

"Araújo: “There are political agreements and negotiations that must be made. The bargaining chip cannot be environmental legislation.”

Stop blaming China.
Make them an excuse for yourself to 'go on as usual'.
There's a lot wrong with China's autocratical policies;
but they set a climate goal and they're sticking to it. Don't blame them for your tardiness.
The economic global issue concerning a monopoly on solar is entirely your [US, Aus and EU's] own fault of not jumping on the evidently healthier train of prosperity in time. Clinging to the olld ways.
But that's my own humble opinion.

As always: the cost comes before the benefit and you plan ahead for years, but the comfort is immediate.
Energy Independence does not mean off-grid, beside costs there is a more important motive to do it: lower the load off the grid.
Now you may take pen and paper. Lots of figures, calculation besides other information.
But, as stated, the conditions differ very much on the country !

"What I Learned After 1 Year with New Solar Panels" [16:39 min]
by Undecided with Matt Ferrell

Quote by UwMF:
"Nov 19, 2024
It’s been a full year since I installed these solar panels and a large home battery on my new house … and I’ve got some news. They say solar power can save you thousands on energy bills, but what actually happened. This past year was a bit of a rollercoaster ride from the challenges of getting them installed to seeing how well they handled powering my all-electric house through heat waves, freezing temperatures, and a couple of small power outages. Spoiler alert: solar isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Was my net zero house ready for all of it? Was I able to achieve net zero energy? And most important … was it worth it? Let’s just say, I learned some pretty surprising lessons that may be of use to you."

543 #ClimateEmergency #ModernFarming #Denmark

[1]I don't really know the situation in Denmark, but in my country taxing the emissions would not be enough. In my opinion 'we' are to far gone, and only a serious reduction of cattle [cows and pigs] would make reduction of emmissions work. more over it would only be susceptible to creative accounting tricks. As it is now happening with the dreaded nitrogen.

"Gassy cows and pigs will face a carbon tax in Denmark, a world first"
by Jan M. Olsen for Associated Press [Jun 26, 2024]

https://apnews.com/article/denmark-cow-tax-greenhouse-gases-9a570518639e0a1990806fd1a05ac11a

Quotes:
"COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark will tax livestock farmers for the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs from 2030, the first country to do so as it targets a major source of methane emissions, one of the most potent gases contributing to global warming.

"The aim is to reduce Danish greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by 2030, said Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus."

"As of 2030, Danish livestock farmers will be taxed 300 kroner ($43) per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030. The tax will increase to 750 kroner ($108) by 2035. However, because of an income tax deduction of 60%, the actual cost per ton will start at 120 kroner ($17.3) and increase to 300 kroner by 2035."

"Although carbon dioxide typically gets more attention for its role in climate change, methane traps about 87 times more heat on a 20-year timescale, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration."

"“We will take a big step closer in becoming climate neutral in 2045,” Bruus said, adding Denmark “will be the first country in the world to introduce a real CO2 tax on agriculture” and hoped other countries would follow suit.
New Zealand had passed a similar law due to take effect in 2025. However, the legislation was removed from the statute book on Wednesday after hefty criticism from farmers"

"Denmark’s move comes after months of protests by farmers across Europe against climate change mitigation measures and regulations that they say are driving them to bankruptcy.
The Danish Society for Nature Conservation, the largest nature conservation and environmental organization in Denmark, described the tax agreement as “a historic compromise".
“We have succeeded in landing a compromise on a CO2 tax, which lays the groundwork for a restructured food industry -– also on the other side of 2030,” its head Maria Reumert Gjerding said after the talks in which they took part.”

"According to Statistic Denmark, there were as of June 30, 2022, 1,484,377 cows in the Scandinavian country, a slight drop compared to the previous year."

"He’ll try, but Trump can’t stop the clean energy revolution"
by Matt Simon for Grist [Nov 11, 2024] [Audio Available]

https://grist.org/economics/hell-try-but-trump-cant-stop-the-clean-energy-revolution/

Quotes:
"The cost of renewables is plummeting, heat pumps are selling like crazy, and red states are raking in cash from the IRA."

"In his second term, the president-elect is expected to be downright hostile toward clean energy and climate action, having promised to rescind the remaining funding in Joe Biden’s landmark climate legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act, or IRA."

"Looking beyond the IRA, Trump has vowed to increase fossil fuel production and once again withdraw from the Paris Agreement."

"A core irony of climate change is that markets incentivized the wide-scale burning of fossil fuels beginning in the Industrial Revolution, creating the mess humanity is mired in, and now those markets are driving a renewables revolution that will help fix it. Coal, oil, and gas are commodities whose prices fluctuate."

"[By contrast,] solar panels, wind turbines, and appliances like induction stoves only get better — more efficient and cheaper — with time. Energy experts believe solar power, the price of which fell 90 percent between 2010 and 2020, will continue to proliferate across the landscape."

"Last year, Maine announced it had reached its goal of installing 100,000 heat pumps two years ahead of schedule, in part thanks to state rebates. So if the Trump administration cut off the funding for heat pumps that the IRA provides, states could pick up the slack."

"Local utilities are also finding novel ways to use heat pumps. Over in Massachusetts, for example, the utility Eversource Energy is experimenting with “networked geothermal,” in which the homes within a given neighborhood tap into water pumped from underground. Heat pumps use that water to heat or cool a space, which is vastly more efficient than burning natural gas."

"State regulators are also pressuring utilities to slash emissions, further driving the adoption of wind and solar power. As part of California’s goal of decarbonizing its power by 2045, the state increased battery storage by 757 percent between 2019 and 2023. Even electric cars and electric school buses can provide backup power for the grid."

"Trump could slap tariffs on imported solar panels and thereby increase their price, but that would likely boost domestic manufacturing of those panels..."

"The irony of Biden’s signature climate bill is states that overwhelmingly support Trump are some of the largest recipients of its funding. That means tampering with the IRA could land a Trump administration in political peril even with Republican control of the Senate, if not Congress.
“Something like 66 percent of all of the spending in the IRA has gone to red states,” Hausfather said. “There certainly is a contingency in the Republican party now that’s going to support keeping some of those subsidies around.”

“State governments are going to be the clearest counterbalance to the direction that Donald Trump will take the country on environmental policy,”

"Last week, 62 percent of Washington state voters soundly rejected a ballot initiative seeking to repeal a landmark law that raised funds to fight climate change. “Donald Trump’s going to learn something that our opponents in our initiative battle learned: Once people have a benefit, you can’t take it away,”

"Even without federal funding, states regularly embark on their own large-scale projects to adapt to climate change. California voters, for instance, just overwhelmingly approved a $10 billion bond to fund water, climate, and wildfire prevention projects."

"And not in isolation, because mayors talk: Cities share information about how to write legislation, such as laws that reduce carbon emissions in buildings and ensure that new developments are connected to public transportation. They transform their food systems to grow more crops locally../\..“If anything,” Miller said, “having to push against an administration, like that we imagine is coming, will redouble the efforts to push at the local level.”

"All told, climate progress has been unfolding on so many fronts for so many years — often without enough support from the federal government — that it will persist regardless of who occupies the White House. “This too shall pass, and hopefully we will be in a more favorable policy environment in four years,” Hausfather said. “In the meantime, we’ll have to keep trying to make clean energy cheap and hope that it wins on its merits.”
