Die CSU attackiert Umweltverbände - und will sie schwächen. 🤔

Doch: Zu den 100 größten Lobbyakteuren zählen 81 Wirtschaftsverbände und Konzerne – und gerade einmal zwei Umweltverbände.

Das macht überdeutlich, wo die größte Lobbymacht liegt.

In the developed world, #meat is currently the default option in restaurants & #catering. Yet, vegetarian & #vegan options as the default can nudge consumption without being too controversial, as customers are still free to eat meat: morethanmeatstheeye.substack.com/p/plant-base... #plantbased

Making vegan foods the default option consistently boosts sales without significant backlash. Here's the evidence why it's so effective.

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.

This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive

The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years

Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago
56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly
It could be a sign of what’s to come.

THe power of the press in the UK.

But a slight and easily avoidable increase in Inheritance Tax by Labour is an excuse for a farmers' revolt?

The final agreement from COP30 doesn't mention fossil fuels, argues we are only 80% of the way to 1.5C, sets out an insane timeline of GHG reductions, and mentions 'a rapidly narrowing window.'

The COP is dead and burried. And COP30 was the final nail.

Public transport deserves protection & investment. We must maintain, expand & improve it - not just replace cars, but rethink how we move. Inclusive, fair, sustainable transport is for everyone.

"The obstacles to limiting warming to below ever-more-dangerous levels remain political, rather than physical or technological."

But it won't be done with CO₂ removal (CDR) technologies because the obstacles to scaling CDR are political, social, financial, physical, and technological.
