Die Gründe der Temperaturanomalien des vergangenen Jahres und auch des vergangenen Februars sind nach wie vor klimawissenschaftlich nicht geklärt. Die Temperatursteigerung blieb auch angesichts Treibhausgasgehalts der Atmosphäre und des inzwischen abklingenden El Niño innerhalb des Bereichs der Vorhersagen, aber ihr Tempo war statistisch gesehen extrem unwahrscheinlich. Der Guardian-Artikel enthält Statements mehrerer Klimaforschender dazu. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/mar/16/scientists-divided-record-heat-acceleration-climate-crisis

• for: SONEC - expanding globally, Global North South sister city program

• comment

  • For globally expanding SONEC, it is also important to consider other cultural values outside the European lens and to also address the structural inequalities of colonialism
  • For a globalized SONEC, one suggestion is to create a sister city program based on reparation from colonial injustice and integrating a climate justice component

• Differences between Global North and Global south perspectives on earth system justice:
• Some scholars argue that in the Global North, the view tends to be ‘no humanity without nature’,
• while in the Global South, the focus is on ‘no nature without social justice’.

A bottom up approach can be tried instead in which trust bonds are automatically stronger - form citizen sister city groups between the global north and the global south of each state as well as local north and local south within each city
