With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

Jättebra text! 🙌 Vi behöver inte optimism utan realism.
För övrigt tror jag att de allra flesta inte fattat detta: ”1,5-gradersmålet är inte en random gräns som någon satt på måfå. Det är en nivå som möjliggör för oss att leva ett tryggt och säkert liv på vår enda planet.”
För övrigt tror jag att de allra flesta inte fattat detta: ”1,5-gradersmålet är inte en random gräns som någon satt på måfå. Det är en nivå som möjliggör för oss att leva ett tryggt och säkert liv på vår enda planet.”
7 procent per år är vad vi behöver – 0,2 promille på fyra år är vad vi klarar. Så ser glappet mellan nödvändiga utsläppsminskningar och faktiska utsläppsminskningar ut.
Lösningen är inte att tänka lite mer positivt, och det är heller inte så optimism ser ut.

Utsläppen behöver minska med sju procent per år – med Tidöpartierna blir minskningen 0,2 promille (!) under en hel mandatperiod.

This week, I’ve once again heard prominent climate researchers dismiss individual action as either irrelevant or a distraction instigated by the fossil fuel industry.
Here’s a 🧵 on why this argument frustrates me to no end and why I think it misses the bigger picture.

I have a long running case of 'the big number'. Basically, in every lobbying doc they try to come up with 'the big number' of what it will cost, or save, to do what they want the reader to do, or not do. Most of the times these numbers are silly extrapolations not worth anyone's time. 1/

As I’ve been saying. Set aside 30% of the forest for nature and biodiversity, and use the rest as tree plantations - for building materials, paper and packaging, etc. This should not be more controversial than our use of farmland.
These results mirror the sparing-sharing debate in conservation, and with similar results. It's better to intensify forest production in some areas while leaving others alone than to have low-intensity systems. 🌏🧪🌳🌲
Just out in PNAS!
We used multi-taxon data to model virtual forest landscapes.
Forest withdrawn from timber harvesting are needed in a much higher share than they currently are in Europe, and extensive forests contribute less than expected to multi-taxon diversity.

Jag begriper inte varför Svenskt näringsliv tror att de vinner på att svenskarna blir färre och mindre utbildade. Vi har byggt upp nationen som en plats för högteknologiska företag. Terminsavgifter för högre utbildning, slopad folkbildning och mindre invandring är det sista vi behöver.
I rapporten får vi en inblick i det Sverige vi kan få om SD får ännu mer inflytande över regeringspolitiken. Man undrar vad andra partier än just Jimmie Åkessons har att vinna på att driva SD:s frågor så hårt.
