"framework called “Three Zero”, referring to zero #carbon #emissions, zero #wealthconcentration & zero #unemployment. Prof #Yunus argued tt #business in tis new civilisation mustn't be driven by #greed, which he warned inevitably leads to #wealth accumul'g among a select few.. He criticised modern #society’s deep-rooted #consumerism, stating tt e pursuit of tis at all costs has led to #unsustainable waste & environ'al degradation"

#Climate workarounds?

#Stellantis to buy “credits”from a #Tesla “pool”to meet #EuropeanUnion's #CO2 reduction requirements, despite Brussels giving carmakers 3 yrs to comply, the group's Europe head said on Sat.

Carmakers facing tougher #EU emissions rules this year agreed to pool their #emissions & avoid hefty fines by having firms w/lower electric vehicle (EV) sales buy #carbon credits from segment leaders including Tesla & Polestar.

this isn’t just about losing #biodiversity —it’s about losing the foundations of life itself. #forests that store #carbon, wetlands that filter #water, #insects that pollinate our food—all of it is at risk. but beyond the material loss, there’s something deeper: the grief of watching the world grow emptier, the cultural devastation for those whose traditions are tied to these disappearing #landscapes. we are not separate from nature. when #species vanish, we lose a part of ourselves too.⁠

what if international air travel was limited so that there was only one international airport in a range of 1500km, or country.

So Vancouver would be the only International aiprort in BC, but Seattle or Portland would still be the PNW hub for the USA.

And those international airports could only have one flight between any other international airport.

This would:

a) greatly increase the use of land-based options for 1000km+ distances (which can then be electrified)

b) Incentivizes plane manufacturers to build more efficient, large planes that can take a larger number of people efficiently, rather than smaller planes that are cheaper to build, but proliferate, doubling/tripling the fuel use.

The top 20 highest greenhouse forcing entities collectively accounted for 17.5 GtCO2e in emissions in 2023. The list is dominated by state-owned entities, which make up 16 of the top 20, and includes a significant presence of Chinese entities, eight of which accounted for 17.3% of global fossil fuel and cement #CO2 emissions in 2023.
