21/ Noch ein Fun Fact: Das Policy-Paper des BMWE hebt an verschiedenen Stellen die Bedeutung von #Technologieoffenheit hervor, Varianten des Begriffs werden auf 8 Seiten 8 mal genannt. Im EWI/BET-Gutachten taucht der Begriff auf 259 Seiten nur 1 einziges mal auf (außer in Szenarionamen der Studien).

#BREAKING Deutschland blockiert das EU-Klimaziel und riskiert das Pariser Abkommen.

Die Abstimmung zum EU Klimagesetz wird auf den Sankt-Nimmerleinstag verschoben.

I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100.
Our paper on that is out today.🧵

Ever heard of a reverse waterbed effect?

For example:
BEV subsidies in one (EU ETS) country
-> electricity demand rises
-> ETS prices go up
-> faster decarbonisation in other (ETS) sectors/countries

Germany's eco-tax reform led to sizable reductions not only in carbon emissions but also in harmful local air pollutants. Benefits accrued disproportionately to lower-income and more polluted areas.

Schade, dass wir uns mehr Klimaschutz nicht leisten können, weil dafür muss erst die Wirtschaft laufen, und die läuft halt nicht so gut, unter anderem, weil es mit dem Klima nicht so läuft.

Die Dämonisierung von zivilem Engagement nimmt wirklich gespenstische Züge an. Mir macht es Angst, wie Einspruch gegen rechtsradikale, autoritäre Positionen angefeindet wird. Einspruch gegen Menschenverachtung ist nicht nur ein grundgesetzliches Recht - es ist unsere demokratische Pflicht.
