But since these 3 are real climate scientists in the trenches, their angry explosion is worth my time. I kept reminding myself who I am "listening to" because so much of it is my own vocabulary and anger, and I rarely if ever see the message put so clearly, bar all the ballads of utopia and hopium.</p><p>2 things I'd like to see now: en lieu of "2050 net zero", a timing for [avoiding] the civilisation crash, considering all milestones and deadlines for them. <br>I have done one. And one milestone deadline, a prerequisite for a subsequent 5year project in social politics, is end of 2024. </p><p>And the other thing, en lieu of SRM research, a new emission scenario to be filled with a new science body: SSP0-2040 or RCPcollapse2040 which inform the global ~40% crash survivors what changes to expect in regional climate and biosphere. <br>I have started on it. Taking the analog of the 1610 event, when 56mio Americans died and CO2 dropped by 7-11 ppm. From there we can look at, when civilisation crashes, how all the land is freed up currently under industrial agriculture use for the consumerism in EU and USA-CAN. This also includes all tropical ex-rainforest areas bc China's imports will cease as well when supply chains for fossil fuels break.<br>And while survival rate in rural China and other non-rich, non-tech-dependent rural regions is high-ish, (so their land use for energy is going to increase), <br>populations in EU and USA-CAN will almost vanish. Freeing up the whole landmass for plants. <br>A much larger area than 1610. </p><p>How big is the drop in CO2? <br>What are the side effects on regional level? <br>What steps need to be taken before the crash in order to save the environment from decades or century-long industrial and radiation pollution from all the suddenly unmanned factories, fossil extraction sites, nuclear reactors? Especially mid-latitude pollution must be prevented so that survivors can leave their own eventually inhospitable climate zones to migrate there, without facing a 3 times reduced life expectancy due to untreated cancers. <br>Such a short life expectancy is too little time for amassing then-relevant knowledge and skills and to hand it over to next generations. Too short for meaningful survival.</p>
anlomedad<p>Article is about a UK <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/bioenergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bioenergy</span></a> power plant that burns imported wood pellets from the US.

But it's not the real problem, IMO.</p><p>The UK tax payers heavily subsidise the wood-burning as sustainable and CO2-neutral, and because of the promise 😁 of 100% carbon capture and storage by 2030. <br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BECCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BECCS</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CCS</span></a> <br>But the claimed sustainability, ie not felling forests for the imported pellets, is not monitored by the government, at all. <br>Remember: everything profitable is attracting sociopaths and requires monitoring and harsh personal sentences for managers AND shareholders as incentive to adhere to rules. </p><p>And now read this:</p><p>"The FTSE 100 owner of the Drax power plant made profits of £500m over the first half of this year, helped by biomass subsidies of almost £400m over this period.
