From Climate Change in Their Community and Around the U.S.</b><br>
63% expect climate impacts to worsen in their lifetime<br>
BY ALEC TYSON AND BRIAN KENNEDY<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">When it comes to the personal impact of climate
change, most Americans think they’ll have to make at least minor
sacrifices over their lifetime because of climate change, but a
relatively modest share think climate impacts will require them to
make major sacrifices in their own lives.<br>
<br>
July 2023 was hotter than any other month in the global
temperature record, and the United Nations climate panel has
warned of growing impacts from climate change barring major
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.<br>
</font><br>
The Center survey of 8,842 U.S. adults conducted Sept. 25-Oct. 1,
2023, finds that 43% of Americans think climate change is causing a
great deal or quite a bit of harm to people in the U.S. today. An
additional 28% say it is causing some harm.<br>
<br>
Looking ahead, young adults ages 18 to 29 are especially likely to
foresee worsening climate impacts: 78% think harm to people in the
U.S. caused by climate change will get a little or a lot worse in
their lifetime.<br>
<font face="Calibri">About a quarter of Americans (23%) think
they’ll have to make major sacrifices in their everyday lives
because of climate change. A larger share (48%) expects to make
minor sacrifices because of climate impacts and 28% of Americans
expect to make no sacrifices at all.<br>
<br>
Republicans and Democrats have much different expectations for how
climate change will impact their lives. Just under half of all
Republicans and Republican-leaning independents expect to make no
sacrifices in their everyday lives because of climate change. By
comparison, 88% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents
expect to have to make at least minor sacrifices.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">These partisan gaps are closely tied to
differing expectations about national impacts: 86% of Democrats
expect harms from climate change in the U.S. to get worse during
their lifetime; just 37% of Republicans say the same.<br>
<br>
More broadly, the public believes individual Americans can make
less of a difference on climate change than other major actors.
For example, 55% think the energy industry can do a lot to reduce
the effects of climate change and 52% say this about large
businesses and corporations. By comparison, far fewer (27%) say
individual Americans can do a lot to reduce climate impacts.<br>
<br>
Climate change consistently ranks lower than other national issues
like the economy, health care and crime on the public’s list of
national priorities for the president and Congress. Nonetheless,
74% say the U.S. should participate in international efforts to
address the issue and majorities support a number of specific
policies intended to reduce the effects of climate change, such as
providing a tax credits to businesses for developing carbon
capture and storage technologies.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Calibri"><b>Views on climate activism</b></font><br>
<p><font face="Calibri">Despite widespread concern about future
climate impacts there has been a slight decline in participation
in forms of climate activism. The survey finds 21% of of U.S.
adults say they have participated in at least one of four
climate-related activities in the last year, including donating
money to a climate organization or attending a climate protest.
This is down slightly from two years ago when 24% of Americans
said they had participated in a climate-related activity.</font></p>
<font face="Calibri">Furthermore, Americans are largely skeptical
that climate activism builds public support for the issue or spurs
elected officials to act. Just 28% think climate activism makes
people more likely to support action on climate change and only
11% say it is extremely or very effective at getting elected
officials to act on the issue. For more, read Chapter 3 of the
report, “Climate activism.”<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Consistent with the slight decline in levels of
climate activism, there has been no increase in personal concern
on the issue in recent years. Overall, 37% say they personally
care a great deal about the issue of climate change. This share is
down 7 percentage points from 2018 and about the same as it was in
2016, the first time the Center asked the question...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">- -</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Seven-in-ten Americans say they’ve felt sad
about what is happening to the Earth,</b> when they’ve seen news
and information about climate change recently. Half say they’ve
felt motivated to do more to address the issue when they saw
climate news and information recently.</font><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">A sense of optimism about progress is not
widely held:<b> 38% say they’ve felt optimistic we can address
climate change</b> when they’ve seen news and information on the
topic. A June 2023 Center survey found just 33% of Americans think
the U.S. and other countries around the world will do enough to
avoid the worst impacts of climate change.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><br>
Americans’ most common emotional reaction to climate news is
feeling frustrated that there is so much political disagreement on
the issue; 79% say they’ve felt this way recently.<br>

</i> </font><font face="Calibri"><b>Oil Majors Double Down On
Fossil Fuels While Climate Scientists Go To Prison</b><br>
ExxonMobil and Chevron both increased their stake in fossil fuels
this month as they continue their destruction of the environment.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Something is seriously out of whack when
ExxonMobil and Chevron double down on their plans to extract every
molecule of fossil fuels on Earth while climate scientists go to
jail for telling the truth about the nexus between burning oil and
methane and a rapidly overheating planet. The Matrix had it right.
Humans are a virus, one that will only stop when it has totally
consumed its host.<br>
<br>
October of 2023 is the month when Big Oil decided to go full tilt
boogie into an increasingly dark future, despite overwhelming
evidence that their activities are driving global heating that
could kill billions of innocent people. The urge for profits is so
great that nothing must be allowed to stand in its way.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">As Reuters reports, two weeks ago ExxonMobil
agreed to acquire Pioneer Natural Resources for nearly $60
billion. This week, Chevron, the second largest oil company in the
world, agreed to pay $53 billion for Hess. The Exxon acquisition
is the largest in the company’s history since it acquired Mobil
Oil nearly 20 years ago. The driving force behind the Chevron
deal is that it gives it access to a new fossil fuels reserves
being developed in Guyana, a country in northeast South America
between Venezuela and Brazil.<br>
<br>
<b>Limiting Emissions Of Fossil Fuels</b><br>
According to The Nation, Exxon has pledged to eliminate its carbon
emissions by 2050 while increasing its oil and gas production.
CleanTechnica readers may wonder how those two mutually exclusive
goals can possibly be met. The answer is, by lying to the world.
Companies who promote fossil fuels separate their emissions into
three categories.<br>
<br>
Scope 1 are emissions from a company’s own operations such as its
factories, stores, and vehicles. Scope 2 are emissions from the
production of electricity that a company purchases. Reducing this
means buying or generating power from renewable sources like solar
and wind. Scope 3 are emissions from the production of goods that
companies buy from suppliers (“upstream”) and from customer use of
products (“downstream”).</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">In the fossil fuels industry, Scope 3 emissions
account for about 90% of the total, The Nation says, as burning
oil produces much more carbon than drilling for it. But Exxon’s
net zero pledge is carefully worded to avoid any mention of Scope
3 emissions. Exxon is promising only to make its own operations
carbon neutral, including buying electricity, or generating its
own, from renewable sources.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Exxon apparently sees a future where the
company’s drill rigs will run on clean solar power while pulling
up more fossil fuels, which will dump more carbon into the
atmosphere when consumed. This is what “net zero” means in Exxon
language.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Profits From Fossil Fuels</b><br>
Both companies are flush with cash thanks to the Covid pandemic
and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. But such external
concerns are of no interest to the executives at ExxonMobil or
Chevron. Reuters says they intend to use their wealth to increase
dividends to stockholders and to repurchase outstanding shares in
their companies. Chevron said this week it plans to buy back $20
billion worth of stock every year for the next three years. That’s
money that could be used to promote renewable energy technology or
other techniques that might mitigate the searing heat expected
worldwide in the years to come.<br>
<br>
Exxon says it will spend 12% of its annual budget on climate
solutions. The other 88% will be used to produce more fossil fuels
that will make the climate emergency worse. But under the rules of
commerce that nations adhere to today, that’s perfectly OK.<br>
<br>
<b>Scientists Jailed In Germany</b><br>
What is not OK is mounting any kind of challenge to an idiotic
system that approves such bizarre and destructive behavior. This
week in Germany, the Munich Regional Court sentenced four climate
scientists turned activists to fines totaling €1680 each. If they
do not pay the fines, they will be required to serve 105 days of
prison. The four were convicted of criminal damage and trespassing
during their peaceful protest against Germany’s policy failure
regarding the climate crisis last year in Munich.<br>
<br>
In an email to CleanTechnica, Scientist Rebellion said the
scientists argued their actions were necessary to stop a looming
climate and ecological catastrophe by pressuring the government to
act in line with international agreements and data supplied by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. That data spells out
the urgent need to transform the global economy and decarbonize
global societies as quickly as possible. For the penalty, which
was lower than the original sentence, the judge took into account
that the major aim of the actions was not to damage property but
to call attention to the climate crisis, which he called “the
greatest challenge for humanity.”<br>
<br>
Still, the law is the law. Those who cause the climate crisis are
celebrated as heroes of capitalism, while those who protest are
sanctioned and threatened with prison. Is there something wrong
with this state of affairs?<br>
<br>
The trial in Munich this week was the first of several court cases
against 16 members of Scientist Rebellion. The cases begin one
year after the academics’ protests, for which they were held in
pre-trial detention for a week in Stadelheim Prison in Munich. As
part of the protest campaign “Unite Against Climate Failure” in
October 2022, the scientists participated in three nonviolent
direct actions in Munich against the investment company BlackRock,
the car manufacturer BMW, and the German government, for their
responsibility as major contributors to the climate crisis.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">On its website, Scientist Rebellion says,
“Scientists have spent decades writing papers, advising
governments, briefing the press: all have failed. What is the
point in documenting in ever greater detail the catastrophe we
face, if we are not willing to do anything about it?”<br>
<br>
“Academics are perfectly placed to wage a rebellion. We exist in
rich hubs of knowledge and expertise. We are well connected across
the world and to decision makers. We have large platforms from
which to inform, educate, and rally others all over the world, and
we have implicit authority and legitimacy, which is the basis of
political power. We can make a difference. We must do what we can
to halt the greatest destruction in human history.”<br>
<br>
<b>The Takeaway</b><br>
The Nation says Exxon believes it is swimming with the tide, not
against it. The company recognizes that carbon emissions will have
to be cut more than two-thirds from their current rate of 37
gigatons annually to 11 gigatons by 2050 in order to limit global
warming to 2° C (3.6 ° F) — the limit beyond which global
catastrophe looms.<br>
<br>
But Exxon simply believes this will not happen. In 2050, fossil
fuels “will still be required to drive critically needed economic
growth,” it predicts. Despite growth in renewable energy and
carbon capture technologies, “oil and natural gas are still
projected to meet more than half of the world’s energy needs by
2050.” Instead of falling to 11 gigatons annually, the oil giant
believes emissions will be more than twice that: 24 gigatons. And
a significant portion of that will come from Exxon itself.<br>
<br>
Although Exxon no longer denies that climate change is real, it
believes that weaning the world off fossil fuels would come at an
unacceptably high price. In a filing earlier this year with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said, “It is
highly unlikely that society would accept the degradation in
global standard of living required to permanently achieve a
scenario like the IEA NZE [the net zero emissions simulation of
the International Energy Agency].”<br>
<br>
Which begs the question, too high a price for whom? Certainly not
the billions of humans who would like not to be roasted to death
by accelerating global temperatures, so we have to assume the ones
who think the price will be too high are fossil fuels companies.
In the final analysis, the wrong people are being threatened with
prison in this situation. As Elie Wiesel, the noted chronicler of
the horrors of the Holocaust often said, “There may be times when
we are powerless to prevent injustice, but we must never fail to
protest.”<br>

</font>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri"><b>We are scientists and academics</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">who believe we should expose the reality and
severity of the climate and ecological emergency by engaging in
non-violent civil disobedience. Unless those best placed to
understand behave as if this is an emergency, we cannot expect
the public to do so. Some believe that appearing “alarmist” is
detrimental - but we are terrified by what we see, and believe
it is both vital and right to express our fears openly.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The population sizes of mammals, birds, fish,
amphibians and reptiles have seen an alarming average drop of
68% since 1970, along with an apparent collapse in the
pollinator populations. At this rate, ecosystems around the
world will collapse well within the lifespan of current
generations, with catastrophic consequences for the human kind.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Self-reinforcing feedbacks within the climate
system, in which hotter climates cause additional heating (e.g.
increased forest fires, thawing permafrost, melting ice)
threaten to drive the Earth irreversibly to a hot and
uninhabitable state. These effects are being observed decades
earlier than predicted, in line with the worst-case scenarios
predicted.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Increasingly severe heatwaves, droughts and
natural disasters are occurring year after year, while sea
levels may rise by several meters this century, displacing
hundreds of millions of people living in coastal areas. There is
a growing fear amongst scientists that simultaneous extreme
weather events in major agricultural areas could cause global
food shortages, thus triggering societal collapse. For example,
the drought in Syria (2011-2015) destroyed much of the country’s
agriculture and livestock, driving millions into cities and
sparking a civil war from which the world is still reeling. We
face a crisis possibly hundreds of times more severe. To be
informed is to be alarmed.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Current actions and plans are grossly
inadequate, and even these obligations are not being met. The
rate of environmental destruction closely tracks economic
growth, which leads to us extracting more resources from Earth
than are regenerated. Governments and corporations aim to
increase growth and profits, inevitably accelerating the
destruction of life on Earth.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">To achieve decarbonisation on the required
scale demands economic degrowth, at least in the short term.
This does not necessarily require a reduction in living
standards.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">For a just transition, the cost of degrowth
must be paid for by the wealthiest, who have benefited
enormously from the current destructive world order, while
others have faced the consequences.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">A just transition to a sustainable system
requires the wealth from the 1% to be used for the common
benefit.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">The most effective means of achieving
systemic change in modern history is through non-violent civil
resistance. We call on academics, scientists and the public to
join us in civil disobedience to demand emergency
decarbonisation and degrowth, facilitated by wealth
redistribution.</font><br>
