The Sound of a Second Shoe Dropping

“To avoid the worst of the predicted outcomes, global carbon emissions must be cut by half by 2030, to zero by 2050.“

Montage by author of images from Bartek Sadowski, Bloomberg

Polish coal mining supplies 80% of the power to the UN climate summit.

A comment on one of my Facebook posts helped me to realize it is possible that some readers, especially those born after the 1970s, aren’t familiar with the Club of Rome. The Club was the brainchild of Fiat industrialist and ex-WWII resistance fighter Aurelio Peccei, who was captured and tortured by the Nazis but survived.

Aurelio Peccei

Because of his language skills, Peccei was asked to give a keynote speech in Spanish at an international meeting in 1965, which led to a series of invitations ending in the creation of the Club of Rome. His speech, about the seriousness of problems facing mankind and the necessity to act globally, deeply moved those who heard it or read it later. Peccei was asked to form the Club of Rome in order to develop a better pathway for humanity, applying advanced data analysis and regenerative design principles.

Tapping into the newfound ability to forecast world trends using early computers (primitive by today’s standards), the Club commissioned ecologist Donella Meadows, her engineer husband Dennis, and team of 15 others to undertake a first model, using software developed at MIT by Jay Forrester called World3. They presented their findings at international gatherings in Moscow and Rio de Janeiro in the summer of 1971 and in 1972 the Club produced a report called Limits to Growth that shocked the science, economics and public policy communities of that time.

Limits projected that by about the second decade in the 21st century, human population would have exceeded Earth’s carrying capacity and would be “burning the furniture” to find energy, food and nonrenewable natural resources, while the exponentially growing volume of pollutants such as greenhouse gases and toxic chemicals would be heating the planet, fouling human habitat, decimating ocean life, felling ancient forests and forcing mass migrations.


Limits’ “Standard Run” over red chart from Climate in Crisis (1990)

Two of the Limits scenarios forecast “overshoot and collapse” by the mid- to latter-part of the 21st century, while a third (the path not taken) resulted in a “stabilized world.” The leading economists of the day and all the media pundits scoffed, waved their hands wildly, and the Club, along with all the scientists who worked on the project became synonymous with tin-foil-hat eco-wingnuts. The current presidents of the United States and Brazil would no doubt be quick to tell you those Club of Rome studies have been discredited, if they even knew about them.

Ugo Bardi recalls: “[By]the 1990s LTG had become everyone’s laughing stock… In short, Chicken Little with a computer.”

In 1997, the Italian economist Giorgio Nebbia, observed that the negative reaction to Limits came from at least four sources: those who saw the book as a threat to their business or industry; economists who saw it as an encroachment on their profession; the Catholic church, which bridled at the suggestion that overpopulation was one of mankind’s major problems; and finally, the political left, which saw it as a scam by the elites designed to trick workers into believing that Marx and Engels were wrong.

But because the Club was then and continues to be right about the existential threats we are choosing to ignore, I sat up and took notice when I saw a new report this week entitled The Club of Rome Emergency Management Plan, issued in the first week of the annual UN climate summit, #COP24Katowice.

At the top of the first page, Potsdam climate scientist Prof. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber writes, “Climate change is now reaching an end-game scenario, where very soon humanity must choose between taking unprecedented action, or accepting that it has been left too late and bear the consequences.”

After that it doesn’t get any lighter.

To avoid the worst of the predicted outcomes, global carbon emissions must be cut by half by 2030, to zero by 2050. This is an unprecedented task, requiring a reduction rate of at least 7% annually; no country has to date achieved more than 1.5%. The only possible response is emergency action that will transform human social, economic and financial systems.

As I have written here before, a 7% decline slope (which holds us below 2 degrees, to get to 1.5 degrees we would need to decline by 11%) translates into halving emissions every 10 years. So half by 2030, a quarter by 2040, and an eighth by 2050. Even that will not be enough to hold to the target. Steep emissions reductions need to be accompanied by rapid deployment of negative emissions technologies, which is the subject of a new book by Kathleen Draper and myself, out from Chelsea Green Publishers in February.

The Club of Rome, never one to care what the deniers might say, goes on:

As a result of inaction, climate change now represents an existential risk to humanity. That is, a risk posing permanent, massively negative consequences which can never be undone.

Decades of exponential growth in both population and consumption are now colliding with the limits of the Earth’s biosphere: the climate system is destabilizing; about half of the world’s tropical forests have already been cleared; in the last 150 years, half of its topsoil has been depleted; nearly 90% of fish stocks are either fully or overfished; and the sixth mass extinction event is well underway.

This situation is exacerbated by a global leadership that has abrogated its moral responsibility to provide security for the world’s people and the planet, even as the risks of irreversible climate change escalate.

The inability of our existing economic and financial systems to provide real quality of life and to ensure decent standards of living across the globe has also created social breaking points. The current neoclassical economic model was designed for an ‘empty’ world with a global population of around 2 billion people, when the bounty of natural resources seemed endless.

***

To stay well below the 2°C warming limit mentioned in the Paris Agreement, global emissions would have to peak no later than 2020.

Then a second shoe dropped mid-week in a report from the Global Carbon Project that The New York Times described under the headline, “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accelerate Like a ‘Speeding Freight Train’ in 2018.”

That report, building on a peer-review study published December 5th in Earth System Science Data, said that a three-year plateau in global greenhouse gas emissions did not end in the start of the gradual glide slope Paris calls for and instead bent back up, pretty steeply. All the major polluters except the EU are polluting more in 2018 than ever before, India as much as 8% more than in 2017, and the raw survey data does not yet include so-called “fugitive emissions” (methane leaks) from fracking, flaring and gas pipelines which are only very poorly monitored, if at all.

With the price of natural gas in the Permian Basin falling to negative 25 cents last month, oil companies have been flaring it from tall smokestacks (the better to reach the upper atmosphere and have a warming effect quickly) rather than pay refineries to take it. Flaring as a price-control practice had largely ended 30 years ago in the United States, but has now been revived by the Republican administration, which of course does not believe in global warming.

Nadja Popovich/The NY Times from Global Carbon Project data.

With India determined to give all its citizens (coal-fired) electricity and China set to become the world’s largest car-maker and road-builder, prospects for a near-term decline in emissions are not great.

Last month the White House published findings by 13 federal agencies predicting that global warming could knock hundreds of billions of dollars off the size of the American economy by century’s end. In actual fact, climate events within the United States occurring at a 1°C temperature increase knocked $306 billion off the economy in 2017, double their 2016 cost, and the predicted expense for 2018 is even higher.

We are paying for this ineptitude, if not through the rising costs of insurance, then through higher taxes, or the ashes of houses, or combing through the wreckage after storm surges.

The Club of Rome provides a laundry list of steps to be taken, and by now it is pretty familiar. One step they have been urging since 1972 does not usually make it into climate reports. They say we need to throw the bums out and elect people who can start to right this foundering ship.

Humanity currently faces systemic collapse on many fronts, such as threats to the philosophical underpinnings of modern society’s democratic institutions and practices that include declining respect for human rights, the rule of law and the proper use of science, and very much needs more enlightened leadership.

It would seem unlikely that such enlightened leadership will be coming from the United States any time soon. We can only hope the leaders gathered this week in Katowice can step up their own game plan.

At a press conference on Saturday, the COP President said that now it is obvious that the difference between 1.5 degree and 2 degrees warmer will be utterly catastrophic, making it imperative that COP24 take the needed steps to hold to 1.5. For a review of where we are at the end of Week One, here is a press conference by Climate Action Network International:

The Truth Shall Set You Free on Sun, 9th Dec 2018 8:00 am

Trump is a poor man’s idea of a rich man, a weak man’s idea of a strong man, and a stupid man’s idea of an intelligent man.

What explains the cult-like reverence of “Davy”, other Trump ditto-heads, and most members of the Republican party for Dear Leader Trump? We now have a working hypothesis. Researchers from Columbia and New York University examined voting patterns by geographic area with internet search term frequency. The study results pointed to a strong positive correlation between support for Trump and particular internet search topics. The results were shocking, although logical.

Fragile (Toxic) Masculinity Syndrome.

The following internet search terms had the strongest positive correlation with support for Trump:

• “How to get girls”;
• “Penis enlargement”;
• “Penis size”;
• “Erectile Dysfunction”;
• “Hair Loss”;
• “Steroids”;
• “Testosterone”;
• “Viagra”.

Trump ditto-heads lack these traits- traits they perceive define masculinity. Therefore, they are innately attracted to a leader who projects these traits.

Examples of Trump’s alpha masculinity as perceived by Trump ditto-heads:

• Trump uses a whig because he’s too proud to admit he’s bald.
• Trump’s bullying behavior is viewed by his supporters to be the behavior of a manly man.
• Frequent golfer.
• He eats McDonald’s almost every day.
• He’s a billionaire with a hot wife who married him for his money.

“To avoid the worst of the predicted outcomes, global carbon emissions must be cut by half by 2030, to zero by 2050.“
Who in their right mind thinks we can do this? This is a death sentence and a death sentence if we don’t so let’s meet somewhere in between and realize we can slow this process down but with action or not the global economy and current world order is going to self-destruct. The end game is at hand somewhere out in the fog of life. Let’s take action to mitigate the worst of what is coming as best we can through shared sacrifice. A shared sacrifice that is imperfect but still an effort at fairness. If not this is going to be a brutal undertaking by angry people and an angry planet. Of course a little bit of all of this will play out in your itty bitty local.

“Even that will not be enough to hold to the target. Steep emissions reductions need to be accompanied by rapid deployment of negative emissions technologies.”
LOL, negative emissions while you are also trying to lower emissions???? We are dealing with huge numbers and a civilization with massive predicaments of many kinds. These predicaments require energy and energy yields emissions. Renewables are not the force that can do this but we act like they are. They will be transformative if the economy holds but not a silver bullet. Population and the increasing consumption of a rising population is a force beyond lower emission and negative emission efforts. We can use renewables, demand management, and legislate the end of some bad behavior. Yet, look at the yellow jerseys in France on legislative policy. Renewables are transforming our energy paradigm but not enough and not quick enough. Net energy is not high enough and energy is not our only problem. There is food, water, resources, and the environment.

“The inability of our existing economic and financial systems to provide real quality of life and to ensure decent standards of living across the globe has also created social breaking points.”
LOL what is the chicken and what is the egg? Our financial system has struggled to enrich anyone willing to play the game. It is a self-organizing phenomenon driven by human nature and guarded jealously by the haves and coveted by the have nots. You can’t put a personality on something like that. It is humans that are the problem not the financial system

“To avoid the worst of the predicted outcomes” we don’t need to do anything, the “worst” predictions are simply garbage not even worthy of a bad sci-if movie. But for those of you that worry about this you can rest easy, Canada and the U.K. are sponsoring ” A day without Coal”!

OTTAWA — Canada and the United Kingdom are hosting a “coal-free day” at the United Nations climate talks in Katowice, Poland, a city built on coal mining.
Poland relies on coal for almost 80 per cent of its electricity, more than double the global average, and Katowice is the heart of its industry. The city of about 300,000 people grew up around workshops and mills fuelled by the coal deposits abundant in the ground.

Attendees, whose mission at these talks is to set rules for monitoring countries’ progress in meeting their climate-change promises, were greeted by the Polish Coal Miners Band. Displays inside the conference hall include wire baskets filled with coal. Coal jewelry and soap are for sale. The “COP24” conference’s main sponsors are all coal companies, including the Polish state-owned coal-mining concern and the state-owned power company.

“Yet Another Trillion-Dollar Unfunded Liability: Why California Is Burning”
https://tinyurl.com/ycq8ghhr

“The historically deadly wildfires that have roared through California this fall, and a string of similarly destructive ones over the past two years, are boosting calls to do more to slow climate change. But another underlying problem has contributed to the fires’ tragic damage: For decades, California, supposedly the greenest of states, has artificially lowered the cost of encroaching on nature by living in the woods. Permissive building codes, low insurance rates and soaring taxpayer spending on firefighting and other services have provided an economic framework that has encouraged people to flee the state’s increasingly expensive cities for their leafy fringes. The forested exurbs, including places once thought too hilly or too dry to develop safely, have offered comparatively affordable living with jaw-dropping views. The upshot: More houses have been packed into the fire-prone border between civilization and forest—known among planners as the “wildland-urban interface,” or WUI—in California than in any other state. This problem isn’t restricted to California’s woodland. Along the coasts, loose building standards and easy federal flood insurance have socialized the costs of building in the path of worsening storms and rising sea levels. It is time, in the parlance of classical economics, to internalize the long-externalized costs of building in the trees or by the beach.”

“If your response after reading this is “Those people are total morons,” you’re probably in the majority. Using artificially-cheap insurance and purposefully-lax building standards to destroy what’s left of a unique ecosystem is a crime against nature. And asking taxpayers to cover the resulting catastrophic costs is political suicide. But of course the politicians, builders and bureaucrats who created this system will have moseyed off into the sunset with their fortunes intact before the full consequences come crashing down on tomorrow’s taxpayers.”

The first warning came in 1989 with 10 years until runaway warming led to Armageddon.

Every time there is to be a convention on the matter, some folk come forward with dire warnings.

Now we have a 12 year warning. But it is just one of many. They obviously never heard the story about the boy who cried “wolf”.

The problem is that none of the models have predicted the minimal warming we are seeing.

Their credibility is shot but they keep coming forward with scare tactics.

Sure we must leave oil before oil leaves us and sure we must accept that continued exponential growth in a finite world is impossible. But the first job is about our population, finding alternative renewables options that are viable and learning to live more sustainably with better pollution controls.

But with the Eddy Grand Solar Minimum about to kick off, my bet is for global cooling.

The polar bears are happy, the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice is OK.

So what is the big deal? Oh yes the IPCC wants money to give to the emerging countries so they can emerge and use the rest of earth’s energy and resources. Good luck with that.

Meanwhile OPEC and the US frackers can’t pump out the crude fast enough. Perhaps they are hedging their bets that peak demand is nigh. When and if mankind wakes up and stops burning fossil fuel, Petro companies won’t be able to give oil away.

“To avoid the worst of the predicted outcomes, global carbon emissions must be cut by half by 2030, to zero by 2050.”

Are people expecting some kind of a miracle? Cut carbon emissions by half by 2030?! That’s 11 years to make a transformation on a massive scale never before achieved by homo-colossus. So far all we’ve done is add renewables while continuing to increase the gross tonnage of annual carbon emissions, with 2017 setting a new record by 2.7%

At this moment in time we would need to have already perfected fusion, have plans to build them globally to replace all coal & NG powered plants. But we don’t, so all we can do is make solar panels and deploy them on a war footing. Get as many manufacturers working 24/7/365 to churn those pups out and build an army of installers, with an electrician corp to beat the band. I mean, all out, full on, you know what’s to the wall, not a moment to lose, get your mama helping too, but get the globally massive job done fast!!!

It.can.be.done.

Cutting emissions with 90-100% by 2030 (in Europe):

It is all well and good that there are those who are giving plenty of warning and all of that nonchalant jazz, but they’re all wet, all bunkum and bosh.

Don’t have a leg to stand on, will be using fossil fuels until they die. Bernie Sanders flies from here to kingdom come and racks up 300,000 dollars in charter flight costs and wants everybody to not use fossil fuels.

Another stupid idiot without a clue, a nutjob like no other. Shut up, Bernie. Time to get a life, you stupid hypocrite. Your ranting and raving ain’t gonna do a damn bit of good.

Shut up Bernie.

All that is going to happen is the fossil fuel lollapalooza will continue non-stop.

7.3 barrels of oil is going to be a metric ton.

7.2 lbs, the weight of a gallon of crude oil, times 42 gallons is 302.4 lbs per barrel.

Times 7.3, a metric ton of crude oil equals 7.3 barrels, 7.3 times 302.4 is 2207.52 lbs.

100,000,000/7.3 = 13,698,630.137 metric tons of oil consumed by the world’s consumers each day. Along with 20 million metric tons of coal consumed each day, good luck in stopping people from using coal and oil.

Yellow vest riots will look like a picnic if oil and coal disappear, no longer consumed for convenience and modern living.

Beijing would burn, Moscow would burn, Riyahd would burn, Stockholm would burn even more than it is now.

You will have your Moses leading a migration of ten million lost souls on a mission to find a way to the promised land.

Fossil fuels are the bread and butter of the industrial world.

It is foolish and foolhardy to believe humans can live without fossil fuels and remain an industrial civilization.

Pure fantasy.

Let the burning continue.

The rioting in France is going to keep going too. Spread to Brussels and the Netherlands, Europe is going to go from ludicrous speed to plaid here soon.

The British and their “understanding” of history:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-6477715/Winston-Churchill-plan-writes-SIR-ANTHONY-SELDON.html

Winston Churchill has been chosen years ago as the Greatest Briton ever. Such is the power of the media and propaganda. For starters he was half an American and since his mother from NYC was a major league “socialite” and adulterer, it is not even sure if the official stiff-upper-lip father Lord Randolph Churchill, really was his father. There is some reason to assume he wasn’t, as Lord Randolph always treated his son (?) with great distance. The Natzis though Churchill (and Roosevelt) were Jews. If you browse through “Churchill and the Jews”, written by his official biographer Gilbert (himself a Jew), you encounter phrases like “General Sir Edward Louis Spears… Even Winston had a fault. He was too fond of the Jews.”

“Among non-Jews, Harford Montgomery Hyde gave me the transcript of the two legal actions involving Lord Alfred Douglas and his allegations that Churchill had been in the pay of the Jews during and before the First World War.”

“Churchill had no Jewish ancestry… But from his early years the Jews held a fascination for him.”

“In an aside in the first volume of the official biography, Churchill’s son Randolph wrote, with a verbal twinkle: ‘Churchill did not confine his quest for new and interesting personalities and friends to Jewish households. During this period he was sometimes invited into Gentile society.’”

One of WCs early financiers was Cassel…

“In 1905, Cassel furnished a library for Churchill’s bachelor flat in London’s Mayfair.”

And so on…

Obviously Gilbert will not write anything incriminating about WC. German readers are advised to read:

https://www.amazon.de/Churchill-Hitler-Antisemitismus-politischen-Zeitgeschichtliche/dp/3428131347/ref=sr_1_8

…and verify how American and other Jews systematically used WC as a figurehead to push Britain into war with Germany… so the Americans (and Soviets) could “intervene” later and divide the European loot amongst themselves.

It was WC that was most responsible for the destruction of the most glorious empire the world has ever seen, the British empire.

And now they want a new Churchill? Good grieves! Granted, Boris Johnson might be capable to even squander Scotland to continental Europe and Northern Ireland to Ireland proper.lol

Go for it, Boris!

P.S. I see that Boris just got himself a nice haircut. Probably won’t be his last.lol
