<b>Living within our carbon budget | The role of politics,
technology and personal action</b><br>
Climate Uncensored<br>
Sep 2, 2022 #emission #climatechange #energy<br>
When we hear politicians and some scientists talk about climate
change, it is easy to get the impression that we just need to build
lots of low-carbon technology to reach ‘net’ zero emissions by 2050.
But that is far from honest, and dangerously misleading. <br>
<br>
We explain why it is the total amount of carbon dioxide that we put
into the atmosphere that causes global warming. This can be
expressed as a ‘carbon budget’ for a given probability of staying
within a particular temperature rise. Such a scientifically robust
framing of the climate challenge has major political and social
implications. Critically, it brings the key timescale to act forward
to between now and 2030. We unpack the budgets for 1.5°C and 2°C,
and suggest what would have to be done to keep warming to no more
than 2°C, and how everyone has a role to play.<br>

ℹ️ ABOUT THE CARBON BUDGETS IN THIS FILM<br>
We recorded this in summer 2021. The 800 GtCO2 mentioned in the
video is based on the budget for a 50/50 chance of 1.7°C in the
IPCC’s SR1.5 report [1], which at the time had the most up to date
science on emissions budgets. 1.7°C was taken to capture the essence
of the commitments in the Paris Agreement to hold “the increase in
the global average temperature to well below 2°C… and to pursue
efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C”, at least as far
as a single value can.<br>
<br>
This year (2022) the IPCC released AR6, its Sixth Assessment Report
[2], which contains several updates to the carbon budgets, as a
result of improvements in understanding of how the climate responds
to emissions, and of the likely risk and scale of earth system
feedbacks (sometimes referred to as ‘tipping points’). <br>
<br>
AR6 puts the budget for a 50/50 chance of staying below 1.7°C at 850
GtCO2 from the start of 2020. From the start of September 2022, the
remaining budget has dropped to around 740 GtCO2, for all CO2
emissions sources (energy, food, industrial processes, and land use
change & deforestation). Note: the AR6 budget for a 50% chance
of 1.7°C is very close to that for a 'good chance' (83%) of staying
below 2°C (900 GtCO2 from start of 2020). Once process emissions
from cement production are excluded, this leaves around 17 years’
worth of emissions from the energy system.<br>
<br>
However, in recent years there has been increasing emphasis on the
1.5°C limit in the Paris Agreement, as a more appropriate threshold
for ‘dangerous climate change’. This is a result of improved
scientific understanding of the severity and immediacy of impacts at
1.5°C, particularly for climate vulnerable nations in the Global
South. <br>
<br>
Again based on AR6, the global carbon budget remaining for all
emissions sources from September 2022 for a 50/50 chance of keeping
within 1.5°C is around 390 GtCO2. Once an allowance is made for
cement production, this amounts to around 7 years at the rate of
current emissions from energy. For a 'good chance' (83%) of staying
below 1.5°C, there is less than 3 years’ worth of budget left for
energy.<br>
<br>
Note that these global budgets take no account of differential
responsibilities between countries for causing or dealing with
climate change. Once EQUITY is taken into consideration,
industrialised countries clearly have far fewer years' worth of
emissions remaining than poorer countries. Our next video on equity
will deal with this in more detail.<br>

“Earth’s resources are limited - but human ingenuity is infinite!”
That's the belief at the heart of the techno-optimist view that
technology and innovation can provide solutions to the ecological
breakdown. But are tech innovations actually delaying the most
crucial climate action of all - slashing emissions?<br>

meaningful global action on climate change.<br>

<i>[ Yale connects with video games and climate ]</i><br>
<b>Climate Activism and Attitudes in Videogaming</b><br>
On December 9th, 2022, the Yale Center for Environmental
Communication hosted a panel with Marina Psaros, head of
sustainability at Unity Technologies; Deborah Mensah-Bonsu, founder
of Games for Good; and Dr. Jennifer Carman, Deputy Research Manager
at the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication on videogaming
and climate change. The discussion centered on the ways in which
digital games can be utilized for large-scale social change in
relation to our recent report of video gamers’ opinions on global
warming. Dr. Lynn Fiellin, Professor of Medicine at the Yale School
of Medicine, the Yale Child Study Center, and the Yale School of
Public Health, moderated the panel.<br>
<b>Key Takeaways include:</b><br>
--- The gaming community is more than its stereotypes: its
demographics reflect the United States’ and videogamers hold similar
attitudes toward climate change.<br>
Videogamers are more willing to engage in behaviors to combat global
warming than the general U.S. public and therefore represent a
critical and untapped resource for climate action.<br>
--- There are existing and developing strategies for “saving the
world” with games:<br>
Expand the definition of “green games.”<br>
Blend in-game and real world experiences through augmented reality
to generate interest in specific actions and/or offering in-game
rewards for real-world actions. This can additionally be used to
collect citizen-sourced data from around the world that can be used
by an international research community.<br>
Reduce the carbon footprint of games themselves, particularly
through scope 3 emission reductions.<br>
---Videogamers are generally receptive to climate change-specific
content in games and from well-known gamers.<br>
<p>Games for Good found that a large majority of videogamers
appreciate the importance of gaming as an environmental
educational tool and welcome environmental content in the games
they play, with the important caveat that the content needs to fit
the overarching storyline of the game.</p>
<p><b>Climate Activism and Attitudes in Video-gaming <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tVBkzvTeqM&t=225s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tVBkzvTeqM&t=225s</a></b><br>
</p>
Prominent players (i.e. “trusted messengers”) in the videogaming
community can and have been successfully using their prominence to
push for change.<br>
The International Game Developers Association Climate Special
Interest Group (IGDA CLIMATE SIG) is a gathering space for this type
of work.<br>
--- There are many ways videogamers can advocate for change within
their community.<br>
It is important both that influencers talk about these issues to
their followers and that gamers talk to their friends and family
about climate topics.<br>
To reduce electricity consumption, gamers can look into powering
their home or their gaming technology with renewable energy; they
can also set their devices to efficiency modes (on consoles, in-game
settings, power strips, and more).<br>
To reduce waste, gamers can keep their consoles and other technology
as long as possible. However, the responsibility also lies with
developers to not require new technologies to play a game.<br>
-- Younger gamers are part of a generation that has been especially
active in drawing attention to racial and social injustices, mental
health issues, and climate change. There are great opportunities for
these voices to be uplifted within the gaming community to promote
action instead of overwhelmed inaction.<br>

We gladly include the voice of William Rees in the introductory

perspective that includes multiple human-caused predicaments in a
conversation that often is limited to "Climate Change." <br>

We hope you enjoy and learn a great deal from Rees' broad yet deep
perspective - and his no nonsense insistence on the inclusion of:
species extinction, biodiversity loss, and perhaps most pointedly,
Overshoot.<br>
