*“A Miracle Will Occur” Is Not Sensible Climate Policy*
07 December 2023
James Hansen, Pushker Kharecha, Makiko Sato
The COP28 Chairman and the United Nations Secretary General say that the 
goal to
keep global warming below 1.5°C is alive, albeit barely, implying that 
the looser goal
of the 2015 Paris Agreement (to keep warming well below 2°C) is still 
viable. We find
that even the 2°C goal is dead if policy is limited to emission 
reductions and plausible
CO2 removal. IPCC (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which 
advises
the UN) has understated global warming in the pipeline and understated 
fossil fuel
emissions in the pipeline via lack of realism in the Integrated 
Assessment Models that
IPCC uses for climate projections. Wishful thinking as a policy approach 
must be
replaced by transparent climate analysis, knowledge of the forcings that 
drive climate
change, and realistic assessment of policy options. The next several 
years provide a
narrow window of time to define actions that could still achieve a 
bright future for
today’s young people. We owe young people the knowledge and the tools to
continually assess the situation and devise and adjust the course of action.

/*Dec 8, 2023
James Hansen decided at the last minute to forego attendance at COP28, 
due to their failure to recognize and understand the science.

/[ Criticizing Bill Gates -- he//is not a climate scientist //-  DTFM -- 
he should "Do The Fundamental Math" - ]/
*With Professor Kevin Anderson Discussing Remarks By Bill gates*
Nick Breeze ClimateGenn
Dec 5, 2023  ClimateGenn #podcast  produced by Nick Breeze
Bill Gates has been interviewed on different occasions in the last 
couple of months making bold statements about planting trees and, more 
recently at COP28, how a temperature rise of 3ºC is not too bad. This 
segment with climate scientist, Professor Kevin Anderson from the 
Tyndall Centre at University of Manchester and also at the University of 
Uppsala, reflects on Bill Gates and people like him, asking why they get 
so much media coverage considering the accuracy of what they say.

/[  COP28 Cryosphere Pavilion. Big changes now in the Antarctic ]/
*Multiple Threats to Polar Oceans*
International Cryosphere Climate Initiative
Dec 8, 2023
The Arctic and Southern Oceans are crucial components of the Earth 
system. Their unique ecosystems are under serious threat from warming, 
acidification, freshening and ice loss. Polar oceans already experience 
changes in chemistry, and continued warming is leading to range shifts, 
changes in food webs, ecosystems, fisheries, and climate regulation. 
This session highlights the latest scientific and discusses the wider 
societal and political impacts, while emphasizing the need to raise 
ambition for reducing emissions. It will particularly highlight, where 
possible latest science that demonstrates the need to stick to 1.5°C.

/[ Why it is tough to make change ]/
*The tough reality of Carbon Capture & Storage #cop28*
ClimateAdam
Dec 8, 2023
Depending who you ask, carbon capture and storage (CCS) might seem like 
a vital fix to climate change, or a dangerous distraction from the hard 
work we need to do decarbonising - from protecting nature to building 
renewables. But when it comes to tackling climate change, there are no 
simple truths - carbon capture and storage is both hero and villain of 
our fight against global warming...

"anti-factualists" ]/
/*December 9, 2009 */
December 9, 2009:
On MSNBC's "Countdown," Chris Hayes strongly criticizes the Washington 
Post for running an article by Sarah Palin peddling climate-denial 
conspiracy theories.
