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

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

<i>[ Criticizing Bill Gates -- he</i><i> is not a climate scientist

<b>With Professor Kevin Anderson Discussing Remarks By Bill gates</b><br>
Nick Breeze ClimateGenn<br>
Dec 5, 2023 ClimateGenn #podcast produced by Nick Breeze<br>
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.<br>

<b>Multiple Threats to Polar Oceans</b><br>
International Cryosphere Climate Initiative<br>
Dec 8, 2023<br>
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.<br>

<i>[ Why it is tough to make change ]</i><br>
<b>The tough reality of Carbon Capture & Storage #cop28</b><br>
ClimateAdam<br>
Dec 8, 2023<br>
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...<br>
