Meta & Fysikken: Afsnit 85: En status på klimaet....igen...!

Vi tager en ny status på klimaet i dagens afsnit… igen….

Det varmeste efterår siden vi er begyndt at måle, folk der stikker hovedet i busken, lobby-organisationer der vil noget andet etc. VI tager en runde om det hele!

Her er Karina’s noter til dagens afsnit:

1: Klimaforandringerne skaber kæmpefjeldskred og tsunamier i Grønland

For 100 år siden var der ingen kæmpefjeldskred i Grønland. Siden har der været otte. Dyk med ned i, hvad fjeldskreddene fortæller.

2: Soil Temperature

The Earth is heating up, and not just its atmosphere and oceans. The soil itself is getting warmer, too, leading to more extreme soil heat around the planet – along with unclear but ominous consequences for surface dwellers like us.


They found the number of days with heat extremes is increasing twice as quickly in the soil as it is in the air.

4: 2023 in numbers look really bad

„we call for an IPCC special report that focuses on the perilous climate feedback loops, tipping points, and—just as a precaution—the possible but less likely scenario of runaway or apocalyptic climate change."

5: Tipping Point?

6: Re-Wilding som et middel mod Klimaforandringerne

Forskere: Rewilding ville være med til at holde temperaturen under 1,5 grader

Ifølge forskere kan vi søge hjælp hos dyreriget til at rense atmosfæren for forurening. Andre forskere kalder tanken for »et utopia«.

(Vi har snakket om tidligere at det ville være smart at samle mennesker i store byer og lade naturen få plads)

7: Store olieselskaber udråbte alger som en klimaløsning. Nu har de alle trukket finansieringenringen

Det kommer ikke som en overraskelse for insidere, at ExxonMobil, den sidste tilbageværende fortaler for grøn biodiesel fra alger, stopper forskning.

8: How companies report on emissions. 

Scope 1

Scope 2

Scope 3

https://videnskab.dk/naturvidenskab/forskere-rewilding-ville-vaere-med-til-at-holde-temperaturen-under-15-grader/

Because scope 3 emissions are significant, yet often not measured or reported, consumers are rightly concerned that companies that claim to have low emissions may be greenwashing without taking action to reduce emissions in their supply chains to combat climate change.

https://www.sciencealert.com/lego-will-no-longer-aim-to-use-recycled-plastic-heres-why

The Lego example serves as a cautionary tale in the complex ESG landscape for which most companies are not well prepared. As more companies come under scrutiny for their entire carbon footprint, we may see more instances where well-intentioned sustainability efforts run into uncomfortable truths.

This calls for a nuanced understanding of sustainability, not as a checklist of good deeds, but as a complex, ongoing process that requires vigilance, transparency and, above all, a commitment to the benefit of future generations.
