“In the months to come, Conservative candidates, MPs and their party leader will take all kinds of conflicting, or tension-laden, positions because they want to win. But beneath the inconsistency will remain a drive to order the world according to their traditional norms and values and to preserve the standing of the powerful and the system that ensures their continued place in the world.” https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/03/06/What-Heck-Is-Ordered-Liberty/

1.5C is coming very likely within the next 5 years. It will be another stark warning but will we listen to it any more than we have to previous warnings? Breaking the 1.5C limit does not mean the Paris agreement has failed but it is another in a long line of warning signs that have so far been ineffectual.

A financial, climate, and health win-win-win

Adding it all up, the EPA estimates that its rules will save about $1.6 trillion in vehicle costs, climate damages, and health impacts between 2027 and 2055. Updating the social cost of carbon would boost those savings to well over $2 trillion, and as noted by Shindell, the health savings could also be substantially higher than EPA’s estimates, raising the rule’s total benefits close to $2.5 trillion.

Big Oil’s latest record-breaking profits just further illustrate the folly of believing we can depend on corporations to voluntarily do the right thing for people who aren’t shareholders, much less the planet. After all, much of these Q1 profits were paid out in dividends to shareholders.

"The world is not prepared for the impacts of climate change, and must take dramatic action over the next decade to adapt to a planet heated by the extraction and combustion of fossil fuels, while concurrently and immediately slashing climate pollution to stop warming at 1.5°C (2.7°F), a critical threshold beyond which it will become increasingly difficult-to-impossible to adapt to escalating impacts." #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange

A warming planet is increasing the frequency, duration, and severity of drought and heavy rainfall events.

"Total intensity of extreme events was strongly correlated with global mean temperature, more so than with the El Niño Southern Oscillation or other climate indicators, suggesting that continued warming of the planet will cause more frequent, more severe, longer and/or larger droughts and pluvials." #ClimateChange #drought #floods
