Jan Öberg 25.9.19: "...entire systems approaching existential breakdown – and not because of foreign adversaries but because of their own morally corrupt actions and policies – or system fatique: systems so worn out and tired (of itself, too) that the don’t have the energy needed for re-vitalization.
A small footnote here: since 1990 -- stop a second to take this in -- humanity has burned approximately half of all the fossil fuels it’s ever consumed. As my father used to say to me, “Put that in your pipe and smoke it.” And by the way, in the age of Donald Trump, U.S. carbon emissions are once again surging (as they are globally as well).
December 3 webinar hosted together with the Asia-Europe People's Forum a webinar on Military Spending & Global
(In)Security to discuss how current levels of military spending condition
our global emergencies. Speakers include: Michael T. Klare, Binalakshmi
Nepram, Tarja Cronberg and Walden Bello, and moderators will be Jordi Calvo
and Corazon Valdez Fabros.
The webinar coincides with the presentation of the book edited by GCOMS
coordinator Jordi Calvo "Military Spending and Global Security.
Humanitarian and Environmental Perspectives", published on
November 26 by Routledge. The book gives context to the discussion at
hand, reflecting on why people are not well served by nation-states when
they continuously seek to out-compete one another in the size and
destructive powers of their militaries. The webinar deals with the
scope of military spending around the world, while explaining how militarism
is linked with conflict and security threats, and how military spending
further prevent us from adequately dealing with global problems such as
climate change or the covid-19 pandemic.
U.S. Military has left its toxic legacy throughout the world in the form of depleted uranium, oil, jet fuel, pesticides, defoliants like Agent Orange and lead

An increasing part of modern science is based not on reality but on simplified models of reality, which are all the better the closer they are to reality. A model is not a scientific proof. It does not prove anything; it is something to be proved. Syukuro Manabe was awarded the Nobel Prize for designing…

"So even amidst all the desperate news from climate science, I have some legitimately good numbers to update you on this morning. They come from the veteran energy analyst Kingsmill Bond and colleagues at the Rocky Mountain Institute, and they demonstrate that the world has moved on to the steep part of the S curve, which will sweep us from minimal reliance on renewable energy to—we must hope and pray— minimal dependence on fossil fuel. The angle of that curve may prove to be the most significant geometry of our time on earth, competing only with the slope of the Keeling Curve which documents the growing accumulation of co2 in the atmosphere above Mauna Loa"
The aim of CRU is to improve scientific understanding in:
»past climate history and its impact on humanity
»the course and causes of climate change during the present century
»prospects for the future
ECI is an interdisciplinary unit administered within the Oxford University Centre for the Environment that undertakes research on environmental issues, teaches an MSc in Environmental Change and Management, and fosters university-wide networks and outreach on the environment. The Institute is currently organized around three major research themes - Climate, Energy, and Ecosystems - the latter two with close links to the OUCE research clusters: Climate Systems and Policy and Biodiversity .
Environmental Audit Committee 28 November 2007 NEW INQUIRY Climate change and local, regional and devolved government The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) is today launching an inquiry into climate change and local, regional and devolved government.
The UK Government is committed to addressing both the causes and consequences of climate change and to that end is bringing forward proposals for a Climate Change Bill.
The Bill will introduce a clear, credible, long-term framework for the UK to achieve its goals of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and ensure steps are taken towards adapting to the impacts of climate change.
The UK Global Environmental Change Committee (GECC) is an Inter-Agency Committee which provides a forum to coordinate UK involvement in the science and technology of climate change and other global environmental change, both nationally and internationally. It reviews the effectiveness of the national capacity, capability and performance in these areas and makes recommendations, including identification of lead agencies.

Pekka Mellergård, överläkare, medlem i svenska regeringens framtidskommission 26.3.13. : "Klimatfrågan har, tillsammans med andra miljö- och hållbarhetsfrågor, funnits med vid nästan alla kommissionens möten. Den sammanställning av fakta som finns i slutrapporten är omfattande och inte skönmålande. Bland annat sägs det tydligt att den ofta citerade minskningen av Sveriges utsläpp av växthusgaser sedan millennieskiftet inte ger en sann bild av verkligheten: om korrekt hänsyn tas till de koldioxidutsläpp i andra länder som är en konsekvens av svensk konsumtion har Sverige ökat sina koldioxidutsläpp med bortåt 10 procent."

DN 2009-09-12 Två tyska handelsfartyg har lyckats ta sig genom Nordostpassagen utan isbrytare. Fartygen, som tillhör rederiet Beluga Shipping, fraktade delar till ett kraftverk från Sydkorea till Sibirien. Den globala uppvärmningen har gjort passagen isfri längre tider, vilket öppnar nya möjligheter för sjöfartsnäringen.
