2/5 Does anyone with expertise in this area know why charged particles in plasma from #solar #flares, #coronal #mass ejections (#CMEs) and even #localized #thermonuclear #bursts, i.e. #micronovae, were not considered in this report?
3/5 The recommended terms of reference of the 2022 Assessment for the Scientific Assessment Panel (SAP) was supposed to include assessment of information and research related to
solar radiation management and its potential effect on
the stratospheric ozone layer.

Braj is the most important place as the pastimes of Radha and Krishna took place here. Along with forests, and mountains, kunds have their own scriptural relevance. 
In the present times, there is an urgent need to restore the Kunds. Inspired by the teachings of HDG Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder Acharya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and by the example of water conservation at @goecovillage
and encouraged in this initiative by Shri Ramesh Baba Ji Maharaj, Shri Vinod Bihari Babaji, Dr. Krishnagopal Sharmaji, Joint General Secretary, @RSSorg and @BrajTeerth.

2. By aggressively targeting leaked methane, Bitcoin mining has the potential to avoid 0.15% of warming by 2045, potentially earlier.

3. No other existing technology is currently equipped to achieve this feat at this pace.
In short: Reducing methane emissions is the strongest lever we have to slow climate change. #Bitcoin mining is the fastest, most reliable hand we have upon that lever.

1/ The fast-growing call to criminalize #ecocide is now beginning to be heard in the halls of the #UnitedNations! It surfaced in the high level speeches at #UNEA, at the Youth Environmental Assembly and the Global Major Groups & Stakeholders Forum. stopecocide.earth/new-breaking-n… #UNEP
2/ Ecocide was mentioned in two key speeches: by #UNEA5 President, Norwegian Minister of Climate & Environment Mr. @EspenBarthEide & by Inger Anderson, Executive Director of @UNEP. Both recalled Olof Palme, Swedish Prime Minister, first using #ecocide in 1972 at the first #UNEA.
3/ #Ecocide is mentioned in the preamble of the statement of the Global Major Groups & Stakeholders Forum, acknowledging that “adding ecocide as the fifth crime to the #RomeStatute of the ICC would have a strong preventive effect on destructive actions.”

I started following this in December 2020, when this paper was released:
"If fiscal packages are invested in carbon-intensive technologies and traditional fossil fuel-based infrastructure, this will bring huge lock-in effects on emissions."

How was your #cruise ❓
6,000 young cows drowned at sea. SIX THOUSAND🐮

If you're shocked by this incident - maybe it's time to stop supporting it
If you still eat other animals, drink their #milk (#AnimalAgriculture ) THIS is a #RealityCheck
These young #cows were vomiting, deficating in #Terror as they slowly #drowned
6,000🐮😭🚢

#UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2018 shows (once again) that current (unconditional) NDCs under the Paris Agreeement would not eben lead to a global emissions peak before 2030

Full implementation of (unconditional) NDCs would lead to temperature increase of 2.9-3.4 °C by 2100, albeit based on rather opaque 'constant level of effort throughout century' methodology (see agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…)

It was already clear at #COP21 in Paris that 1st round of national pledges wouldn't get us near 1.5-2 °C. That's why 'ratcheting-up' was a fashionable term back then (e.g., carbonbrief.org/timeline-the-p…)
The term 'rachet' is still in use, but you hear it less often nowadays
