Or il y a forcément des gens qui vont s’opposer aux réformes nécessaires pour faire la transition écolo. Beaucoup de jeunes des mouvements climat, que j’admire, pensent que c’est une question de bon sens. Malheureusement non, c’est un combat dans lequel il y a un adversaire.

In this pivotal year for climate action, much will depend on the updated 2030 emissions-reduction target that the US sets for itself. To meet the challenge at hand, the new target will need to be even more ambitious than the 50% reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions (from 2005 levels) that is currently being floated in Washington.

Wien/Schwechat – Die Lufthansa-Tochter AUA legt Pressearbeit und Lobbying zusammen.

Il s’agit en fait plu­tôt d’une inca­pa­ci­té de pen­ser vrai­ment avec cette pos­si­bi­li­té que quelque chose vienne enrayer la nor­ma­li­té des choses, la rou­tine de la crois­sance…

The purpose of this blog is to exegete and test the political theology of Bruno Latour, including his concept of ‘religion as a mode of existence’ as developed in his Inquiry into Modes of Existence and elsewhere. As well as his own texts, the blog will attempt to bring to bear interlocutors to Latour’s political theology, both acknowledged and unacknowledged, including Michel Serres, Peter Sloterdijk, Jan Assmann, Carl Schmitt, Rowan Williams and Michael Northcott.

For Latour, the ideology of neoliberalism has caused the operation of global capital to be elevated to the same order as that of inert matter: both are taken as fixed and obligatory realities that are entirely independent of the contingent behaviour of human beings in the world down-below.

best-available evidence—ie, in formal evidence synthesis.

The courses span a suite of synthesis methods, including systematic review and systematic mapping, stakeholder engagement in evidence synthesis, and evidence synthesis technology.

Because there is no time left for trial and error and since resources for organising a transformation into a carbon‐neutral world are inherently limited, decision‐making on climate solutions needs to be based on the best available evidence.

Evidence synthesis, which collates, appraises, and summarises results from individual studies across an evidence base and makes them available for policy advice, is particularly well organised in the health sciences; a key role is played here by the global knowledge network Cochrane, founded in 1993 and seated in London.

The evolution of Holocene temperature reconstructed by the five methods are generally similar, although the amplitude of change is higher for CPS. The multi-method median reconstruction is very similar to the only other available multi-proxy, Holocene GMST reconstruction2 (Fig. 6). Our reconstruction, which is based on much more proxy data and multiple statistical methods, reinforces the mismatch between higher-than-pre-industrial GMST as represented by the proxy data versus the lower-than-pre-industrial GMST as simulated by climate models3. Understanding what caused this mismatch will undoubtedly be the focus of subsequent studies.

An extensive new multi-proxy database of paleo-temperature time series (Temperature 12k) enables a more robust analysis of global mean surface temperature (GMST) and associated uncertainties than was previously available. We applied five different statistical methods to reconstruct the GMST of the past 12,000 years (Holocene).

Ich halte es aus drei Gründen für praktisch sicher, dass es eine so rasche Erwärmung noch nicht gab:

Eine Forschergruppe von den Harvard und Oregon State Universitäten hat in Science die erste globale Temperaturrekonstruktion für die vergangenen 11,000 Jahre publiziert – das ganze Holozän. Die Ergebnisse besprechen wir hier in Teil 3 unserer kleinen Paläoklima-Serie.

Der bekannte Übergang vom relativ warmen Mittelalter in die „kleine Eiszeit“ erweist sich als Teil einer viel langfristigeren Abkühlung, die mit der rasanten Erwärmung im 20. Jahrhundert ein jähes Ende gefunden hat.

Mr. Biden also on Wednesday issued a sweeping presidential memorandum instructing agencies to make what the White House called “evidence-based decisions guided by the best available science and data.” Every agency, not just those that do scientific research, must appoint “scientific integrity” officials.

But if the breakdown of our civilization was timed by the failure of world economy, it was certainly not caused by it. Its origins lay more than a hundred years back in that social and technological up- heaval from which the idea of a self-regulating market sprang in Western Europe. The end of this venture has come in our time ; it closes a distinct stage in the history of industrial civilization.

Hulme and colleagues set out to reveal patterns of attention and, in particular, patterns of framing6 with regards to how climate change is portrayed in these editorials, and how these patterns are related to wider political and scientific events. The authors identified frames by reading and discussing nearly 500 editorials on climate change (333 in Nature, 160 in Science) published in the two journals between 1966 and 2016, extracted using search terms such as ‘climate’, ‘greenhouse’, ‘carbon’, ‘warming’, ‘weather’, ‘atmosphere’ and ‘pollution’.

In light of that reality, the Times should consider junking its language about journalists being “perceived as biased.” Thanks to the work of unprincipled folks in American politics, the mere expression of an opinion, or an emotion, is now viewed as evidence of ingrained bias. Opinion and bias are not the same.

Für die Klimakommunikation aber ist es jetzt Zeit für eine Schwerpunktverschiebung: weg von der Frage der Generierung von Aufmerksamkeit, Interesse und Verständnis für das existenzielle Thema und hin zur Kommunikation von Lösungen, zur Beteiligung an Debatten und zur Ermutigung zum Diskurs, zum Engagement – und zum Wandel.

The small size of the remaining carbon budget emphasises the need for net-zero CO2 emissions targets at the international, national and even subnational level. 

The relationship between cumulative CO2 emissions and temperature change is known as the “Transient Climate Response to Cumulative Emissions” (TCRE) and is a robust predictor of CO2-induced warming across a wide range of emissions levels and pathways.

In the context of net-zero targets, our 230-440bn tonne range would be consistent with a scenario where CO2 emissions decrease linearly from 2019 levels to net-zero by between 2032 and 2042.

Kerry, the former US secretary of state, acknowledged that America had been absent from the international effort to contain dangerous global heating during Donald Trump’s presidency but added that “today no country and no continent is getting the job done”.

Alle an Klimakommunikation beteiligten Akteure können einen Beitrag leisten, die Debatte immer wieder auf den entscheidenden Punkt zu bringen: Was können wir und insbesondere diejenigen, die in Wirtschaft und Politik Verantwortung tragen, hier und jetzt tun, um die Emissionen von Kohlendioxid und anderen Treibhausgasen einzugrenzen? Die folgenden sechs Empfehlungen sind nicht als Allheilmittel oder Universalrezept gemeint, sondern als Anregung, darüber nachzudenken, wie wir über das Thema Klimawandel kommunizieren. Das zentrale Kriterium effektiver Kommunikation müsste dabei die Frage sein: Bringt das, was wir zum Thema sagen, die Menschen dazu, hier und jetzt über Klimaschutz nachzudenken?

Over the last decade, degrowth has offered a concrete alternative to eco-modernization, projecting a society emancipated from the environmentally destructive imperative of competition and consumption. Urban development is the motor of economic growth; cities are therefore prime sites of intervention for degrowth activists. Nevertheless, the planning processes that drive urban development have yet to be questioned from a degrowth perspective.

Even before Mr. Biden was inaugurated on Wednesday, some Republicans lashed out against his new policy direction.

Yesterday was the day that NASA, NOAA, the Hadley Centre and Berkeley Earth delivered their final assessments for temperatures in Dec 2020, and thus their annual summaries. The headline results have received a fair bit of attention in the media (NYT, WaPo, BBC, The Guardian etc.) and the conclusion that 2020 was pretty much tied with 2016 for the warmest year in the instrumental record is robust.

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in collaboration with colleagues from Nanjing University and Texas A&M University have re-evaluated how much future global warming is in the pipeline if atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations were to remain fixed at present-day levels, a quantity known as committed warming. Their new analysis accounts for the fact that surface warming to date has been large in certain regions but small in others, which has temporarily allowed Earth to shed heat more efficiently. Ignoring this “pattern effect”, as has been done in previous studies, gives the false impression that Earth’s energy budget is nearly balanced and implies that committed warming is only about 1.3°C (2.3°F) above pre-industrial levels. The team’s updated estimate is substantially larger, with a most likely value of 2.3°C (4.1°F). 

Our planet’s energy balance is sensitive to spatial inhomogeneities in sea surface temperature and sea ice changes, but this is typically ignored in climate projections. Here, we show the energy budget during recent decades can be closed by combining changes in effective radiative forcing, linear radiative damping and this pattern effect. The pattern effect is of comparable magnitude but opposite sign to Earth’s net energy imbalance in the 2000s, indicating its importance when predicting the future climate on the basis of observations. After the pattern effect is accounted for, the best-estimate value of committed global warming at present-day forcing rises from 1.31 K (0.99–2.33 K, 5th–95th percentile) to over 2 K, and committed warming in 2100 with constant long-lived forcing increases from 1.32 K (0.94–2.03 K) to over 1.5 K, although the magnitude is sensitive to sea surface temperature dataset. Further constraints on the pattern effect are needed to reduce climate projection uncertainty.

The widespread idea that decades, or even centuries, of additional warming are already baked into the system, as suggested by previous IPCC reports, were based on an “unfortunate misunderstanding of experiments done with climate models that never assumed zero emissions.”

The severity of damaging human-induced climate change depends not only on the magnitude of the change but also on the potential for irreversibility.

removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide decreases radiative forcing, but is largely compensated by slower loss of heat to the ocean,

The Zero Emissions Commitment (ZEC) is the change in global mean temperature expected to occur following the cessation of net CO2 emissions and as such is a critical parameter for calculating the remaining carbon budget. The Zero Emissions Commitment Model Intercomparison Project (ZECMIP) was established to gain a better understanding of the potential magnitude and sign of ZEC, in addition to the processes that underlie this metric. A total of 18 Earth system models of both full and intermediate complexity participated in ZECMIP. All models conducted an experiment where atmospheric CO2 concentration increases exponent

This reprieve will not necessarily spare polar ice sheets or evade tipping points that cannot be recrossed, the scientist cautions, and Earth is already experiencing “much more extreme weather … than we expected 10 years ago”.

If we are going to avert ever more catastrophic climate change impacts, we need to limit warming below a degree and a half Celsius, a little less than three degrees Fahrenheit,” Mann said.

The recent wave of net zero targets has put the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C within striking distance. The Climate Action Tracker (CAT) has calculated that global warming by 2100 could be as low as 2.1°C as a result of all the net zero pledges announced as of November 2020

ce n’est pas nécessairement et exclusivement le cas, parce que les Autres sont justement autres parce qu’ils n’ont pas les mêmes Autres que nous! Et c’est la raison pour laquelle l’anthropologie perspectiviste est asymétrique.

La diversification peut alors être fondée: l’échange est une pratique réciproque entre des actants identiques; le don et l’appropriation-prédation sont des pratiques non réciproques entre des actants plus ou moins semblables; la transmission et la protection sont des pratiques non réciproques entre des actants de statut différent, etc

Comme il s’agit d’un actant collectif et de ses interactions internes, la solution adoptée doit aménager des possibilités d’interactions entre les membres du collectif, dont les différences sont plus ou marquées.

The carbon footprint of our gadgets, the internet and the systems supporting them account for about 3.7% of global greenhouse emissions, according to some estimates. It is similar to the amount produced by the airline industry globally, explains Mike Hazas, a researcher at Lancaster University. And these emissions are predicted to double by 2025.

In seinen 1973 ergänzten Schlussbemerkungen fügt Bachtin seinen theore-tischen Ausführungen zum Chronotopos noch einige wichtige Aspekte hinzu. Unter anderem betont er, dem Chronotopos komme „erstrangige sujetbildende Bedeutung“ zu (2008, 187)

„Den grundlegenden wechselseitigen Zusammenhang der in der Literatur künstlerisch erfaßten Zeit-und-Raum-Bezie-hungen wollen wir als Chronotopos [...] bezeichnen. [...] Im künstlerisch-literari-schen Chronotopos verschmelzen räumliche und zeitliche Merkmale zu einem sinnvollen und konkreten Ganzen. Die Zeit verdichtet sich hierbei, sie zieht sich zusammen und wird auf künstlerische Weise sichtbar; der Raum gewinnt Inten-sität, er wird in die Bewegung der Zeit, des Sujets, der Geschichte hineingezogen. Die Merkmale der Zeit offenbaren sich im Raum, und der Raum wird von der Zeit mit Sinn erfüllt und dimensioniert.“

They should be well-organized and easy for customers to locate the information they need. 

More than anything, however, consumers want to find answers on their own. A study by Forrester confirmed that customers prefer knowledge bases over all other self-service channels. This is likely because the vast majority of customers want an immediate response to their customer service question — 90%, in fact.

A knowledge base is a self-serve online library of information about a product, service, department, or topic. 

A knowledge base (KB) is a technology used to store complex structured and unstructured information used by a computer system. The initial use of the term was in connection with expert systems; which were the first knowledge-based systems.
