Weather = flash floods + flash fires + flash droughts + flash mobs

Climate = 30 years of weather + you don't got time to worry about climate

500 vertebrate species of less than 1,000 individuals ( PNAS 2020 )

500 species of animal have gone extinct since 1900 ( RD 2019 )

With 23 billion chickens on earth, if one sneezes we all get the flu, covids et al are here to stay

Livestock use 80% of antibiotics, cause 50% of animal to human infectious disease, and the age of effective antibiotics is nearly over

Green Energy Sources & Numbers

2020 : 2% of global energy is solar and wind — after 20 yrs trying ( IEA stats 2020 )

2020 : CO2 up 60% in 30 yrs : up 30% in 15 yrs

2030 : 50% of world will be short of water

2040 : 15% of global energy will be renewable

2050 : 28% of global energy will be renewable, at best — assuming no snags or snafus

2050 : 600 ppm CO2 BAU = 2X safe limit of 300 ppm set by James Hansen

Vaclav Smil says energy transformations take a minimum of 75 years

This is because electricity is a little over 20% of global energy use

Multiple cascading tipping point collapse starts at 1.5 °C just like dominoes

We have to stop burning 50% of fuel in 10 years to stop runaway hothouse mass extinction

Runaway hothouse mass extinction cannot be stopped or reversed once started

REAL CLIMATE JUSTICE = 100% PRIVATE GLOBAL CARBON UBI = 0% FOR GOVERNMENTS

The key to effective private dividends is a monthly rebate deposit to citizens.

Private dividends were first proposed by James Hansen and several economists 10 years ago

27 Nobel Prize winning economists support Hansen's dividends, including:

3,589 U.S. Economists, 4 Former Chairs of the Federal Reserve and

ALL 15 Former Chairs of the Council of Economic Advisers

He said private monthly dividends would unite left and right to reduce emissions faster than any other way

Dams and bio-energy are ecological disaster zones

80% of river life is gone and water dam wars are in Africa and Asia

50% of Euro Nord renewable electricity comes from burning imported trees

We can’t burn forests for electricity to save us from the climate

We can’t build wildfire suppression big enough to handle future wildfires

Forest fires will burn faster than we can plant trees

We burn corn, soy and palm oil in cars and will do so until 2030 so far

We burn recycled plastic and paper for electricity and call it recycled electricity

Plastic harms the plankton that produce 10% of earth's oxygen

In the last 20 years, petrochemical demand grew 7X human population

We don’t have enough land for bio-energy and carbon capture, we're losing soil and water too fast

To get 30% of energy from algae would take a country the size of Argentina

To get 20% of global energy from solar in 30 years, we need panels 3X faster than now

By 2050, there will be 78 million metric tons of solar panel waste, generating 6 million metric tons of new solar panel waste annually. Standard electronics recycling methods don’t cut it for solar panels. ( Wired )

By 2040 not even half of all cars will be electric

By 2040 we will have 10% less food, water and habitat if we’re lucky
