1·5 months agoIt crossed my mind (after writting the comment), but how can you be sure of that? I mean, is it an assumption or you could share a link to back this claim?

Climate@slrpnk.net•Five geoengineering trials the UK is funding to combat global warming2·1 year agoI have noticed that The Conversation has articles that I consider to be great and others that I find to be the opposite. Unfortunately, for me, this one is in the later category.
In this one, mainly they talk about how the technologies will work, about money and the urgency to use this tech. The real urgency is to start phasing out fossil fuel globally. Also, they don’t talk about the unintended consequences, the too many known unknowns, and let’s keep in mind there are uncountable unknown unknowns in geoengineering.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries3·1 year agoAccording to this article, it looks like most emissions come from Israel’s IDF
Over 99% of the almost 1.89m tCO2e estimated to have been generated between the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack and the temporary ceasefire in January 2025 is attributed to Israel’s aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries3·1 year agoPlease, stop using the tactic of whataboutism. Meaning, this paper is specifically about Israel’s war on Palestine, so let’s talk about this post, and not everything else instead.
Edit: I need to correct my comment, since this paper is about
- Israel - Palestine
- Israel - Iran
- Israel - Lebanon
- Israel - Yemen

Climate@slrpnk.net•Suriname president vows oil bonanza won't hit carbon-negative status3·1 year agoYes, I see many parallels between your example and Suriname’s. And I don’t see how the people can benefit from this drilling. Even if he keeps his “vow” to give some money to the people, the local environmental devastation will be too vast for a country that is quite small. Meaning, I cannot see a scenario in which people would actually benefit from the drilling activities.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time6·1 year agoI think the rest of the article (just below the graph you added) gives a decent overvue on how the situation is, and includes some equaly decent projections. It looks like there is a possibility that they have peaked, and will plateau or hopefully will diminish emittions. Still, no certainty that this is a trend, or that it will continue.
And June is a month to keep an eye out to see how its new electricity pricing policy for renewable energy will be.
Economic growth makes us all better,
No. Economic growth under capitalism is the problem. Capitalism requires infinite growth on a finite planet, and this is what got us here in the first place. So this is not a sustainable economic system.

Climate@slrpnk.net•World's wealthiest 10% have contributed to two-thirds of global warming since 1990, study finds2·1 year agoLet’s not forget an important factor: within the span of 30 years.
I spent too many hours yesterday trying to find the relevant info without taking this into consideration.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Two-thirds of global warming since 1990 caused by world’s ‘wealthiest 10%’1·1 year agoI totally tried and then decided to ask here.
The closest thing I managed to find was saying that 16.3% of adults worldwide have wealth of 100k to 1m, in 2023 [source: Global Wealth Report 2024 by UBS, see The global wealth pyramid at p23] but this is not what the article says.
Somebody suggested the World Inequality Database but on this topic, the results come by country and/or stats.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Two-thirds of global warming since 1990 caused by world’s ‘wealthiest 10%’11·1 year agoI know that in the article they mentions €42,980 and I appreciate carbon brief. Still, I tried to find in the study itself how they calculated it, but somehow I didn’t manage to. This is why I asked for another link.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Two-thirds of global warming since 1990 caused by world’s ‘wealthiest 10%’11·1 year agoDo you have a decent link to corroborate that?

I didn’t manage to spot in the study itself, how they calculate this number. If anyone has, please share this part.

Climate@slrpnk.net•World's wealthiest 10% have contributed to two-thirds of global warming since 1990, study finds61·1 year agoI don’t think so. I have the impression that the introduction part was talking in general, mainly because it says The amount varies by location and local wage trends, and then it talks about the US, specifically.
Appart from that, in page 23 of the Global Wealth Report 2024 by UBS in The global weath pyramyd 2023 it also says saomething similar, that 16.3% of adults have wealth in USD of 100k to 1m.

Did I get something wrong?
Edit: At the bottom of the investopedia article, they have the sources and since they only have references about the US, I believe I can safely say that I my assumption that the intro was talking about the entire world was wrong.
