Eric Maugendre about emissions
@data.yt
Data scientist. I calculate and discuss what emits carbon.
It also raises the credibility of the journal. So i will look to be reviewed on condition of reproducibility. (But not in psychology: my field is GHG emissions.)

Thank you for pointing to this article!

"So was it too censorious, often priggish, and prone to going way too hard? Absolutely. Did it lead to cringe and unbearably preachy art? Yes. But did it hasten along better social norms, shocking us out of genuine expressions of hatefulness? Also yes."

Thank you for suggesting "warning authors that reproducibility will be checked". Would you tell in which conditions it happens?

The biggest misunderstanding of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), IMHO, is that many assume it is a replacement for emissions reductions. As in, more CDR, less emission reductions. No. Emissions need to go down as fast as possible, even faster, no matter how much (~feasible) CDR you have.

Your statement resonates.
I gather that most people would rather be soothed. If soothing is not available, then many choose ignorance. Some choose to fight back.

Nowadays a popular solution is to create a narrative. (For example i had the luck to participate in the "PMA pour tou·tes" movement.)

Look around you. Do you see policies being implemented at scale? Do you see the end of investment into new fossil energy? Do you see phasing out of existing fossil infrastructure? Do you see massive renewables deployment and the lowering of demand for energy and materials?

You do not.

From the regulator's report: Why add more coal-fired capacity when the existing capacity is under-utilised?

"Without #AMOC, the southern hemisphere warms more rapidly as heat is not passing through to the north. This lowers the thermal equator and takes the rain belts with them. Areas used to significant rainfall such as the northern part of the Amazon and southern Asia would see significant less rain."

[9/10] Fabienne Barataud insiste sur la valeur des expérimentations locales, même limitées. Elles n’inversent pas seules le système global, mais elles nourrissent des imaginaires collectifs indispensables à une transformation écologique. #geography #prospective #food #agriculture

Working in research at [large financial institution] I see the same thing. There's no appetite to question the fundamentals because the AI trade has been hugely profitable. So people's jobs seem to have become finding reasons for investors to keep believing. It's a bit disheartening.

The hierarchy is clear: 75–85% of emission reductions through 2050 come from using less fossil fuel.

CCS plays a role, but it is strictly secondary, contributing a median of just 15–25%.

Technological neutrality is a political concept, not a scientific one.
