Scientists have raised concerns about whether high-income countries, with their high per-capita CO2 emissions, can decarbonise fast enough to meet their obligations under the Paris Agreement if they continue to pursue aggregate economic growth. Over the past decade, some countries have reduced their CO2 emissions while increasing their gross domestic product (absolute decoupling). Politicians and media have hailed this as green growth. In this empirical study, we aimed to assess whether these achievements are consistent with the Paris Agreement, and whether Paris-compliant decoupling is within reach.

Great PR piece for COP28 which will be held in Dubai and chaired by the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company!

Luckily, there haven't been any documented instances of the UAE trying to greenwash their image by hosting this conference.

Ah, I misunderstood you then. Very concerning

Thats interesting, haven't heard about that problem yet. Didn't know that the Notrufzentralen are also staffed with volunteers. Do you think that mandatory fire brigade service (Pflichtfeuerwehr) might become more common in the next years?

Due to the fact that I will be moving places later this summer, I decided back in March that I would plant some bee flower seed mix on my tiny balcony instead of the usual vegetables. I got the for free from a good friend who works for a nature conservation society.

The results have been great! I constantly see bumblebees, hoverflies, honeybees and all kinds of wild bee species around my flowers. It feels great to provide a tiny feeding spot in a place that is surround by agricultural monocultures and I can only recommend it to everyone who has even the tiniest bit of space left in their garden or on their balcony.

 

Hello friends of /c/green

In recent weeks we have introduced a weekly observations thread in /c/collapse - with success I would say. We average 10-25 comments per week and see some nice discussion and a few regular posters in these threads.

Motivated by those positive results I would like so introduce a similar thread here but with a more general slant on environmentalism, gardening, nature observation and everything related!


Tell us about your work in a environmentalist community group! 💪

Tell us how your native flower patch is doing this year! 🌱

Share some pics of the cool bug you saw on your last hike! 🐛

 

Another week, another weekly observations thread!

Share whats happening in your hometown, region or country that might not be in the focus of international media!

Please provide a general location. For Example:

Location: Southern Ireland

Cerberus heatwave mostly spared us here with only Saturday being a freakishly hot day (28°C --> 38°C temp jump for a day) but it showed me once again how badly prepared most older buildings are for what is to come.

All mammal species in New Zealand except the native ground bats are introduced species, many of them invasive. They wreak havoc on the local ecosystems and have brought quite a few unique bird species near the brink of extinction. I think its absolutely understandable that the New Zealanders want to preserve some of their endemic birds.

Climate grief can be incredibly draining and I have suffered it as well (I still feel it sometimes but I am mostly over it). I always suggest talking about these things with someone who is close to you like family or a friend. However, I am also aware that many people are either unaware or outright in denial so it can be hard to find someone IRL. As an online resource, I can recommend the Collapse Support Discord. They have chats for venting, weekly collapse support group calls and many other resources for people who suffer from climate grief or distress.

Here's the invite: https://discord.gg/MQzqebGW

Never claimed that the Chinese are that far behind but they just don't have the same production capabilities as Taiwan or Korea. That might change in a few years tho.

And I guess losing access to modern production facilities in Taiwan ain't no biggie for the Russians as they plan to produce their own 28nm chips by 2030 (28nm was introduced in 2011 btw) so maybe I'll game on a Russian CPU by 2055 lol.

First, producing silicone monocrystals does not equal the ability to produce modern chips. The only somewhat significant semiconductor producer from Russia, Mikron Group, announced in 2020 that they would start using the 65nm process, a process that has been available since 2005.

So the biggest domestic manufacturer is 15-20 years behind the West and mainland Chinese manufacturers have a global market share of 8% compared to Taiwan's 66% (and American lap dog Korea with 17%).

Sorry to break it to you buddy but its not looking good for the Russians

Climate Change News reports that both the Ugandan and Cameroon delegations were displeased with how Chinese minister of ecology and environment Huang Runqiu, who chaired the conference, brought down the gavel and declared the agreement approved despite what was a clear objection from the DRC.
