Jan C. Minx, head of working group "Applied Sustainability Science" at MCC explains technologies as a means for removing carbon out of the atmosphere to keep global warming below the crucial 2°C.
Im Streit um geringere Abgasgrenzwerte geht es vor allem darum, wie effizient Motoren noch werden können. Das übersieht ein Kernproblem: Die Autos sind einfach zu schwer.
The Argentine G20 presidency has three concrete priorities: jobs, infrastructure, and food security. Strikingly though, carbon pricing was not invited for tango.
Political acceptability is the biggest challenge for ambitious climate policy. New insights suggest that carbon prices are more likely successful if revenues are paid back as dividends to citizens.
Die Stilllegung von Braunkohlerevieren wird Arbeitsplätze kosten. Doch die Politik muss darauf achten, nicht die Fehler der Steinkohle-Subventionierung zu wiederholen.
Tracking all the relevant publications on climate change has become impossible. Climate science and policy need a new approach for an age of big literature.

Es wäre an Deutschland zu zeigen, dass ein Kohleausstieg durch einen sozialverträglichen Strukturwandel möglich ist. Das hätte internationale Signalwirkung.

The world’s governments have agreed to ambitious climate goals. But if we are to hit our new targets, scientists and innovators need to move quickly to close the gap between hope and reality.

The remaining amount of CO2 that can be released in order to keep the temperature rise below 1.5°C is close to zero. Achieving this target won't work without carbon removal technologies.

Der gefährliche Klimawandel ist das Sicherheitsrisiko, das das 21. Jahrhundert prägen wird. Deutschland muss sich im UN-Sicherheitsrat für mehr Anpassungen und Klimaschutz einsetzen.
Phasing out coal will be most important to reach the Paris targets. While some major coal users are reducing investment plans, others see coal as their primary source of energy.

Die Staaten der Welt subventionieren Kohle, Öl und Gas mit Milliarden. Dabei könnten sie das Geld viel sinnvoller verwenden: für Entwicklung und das Klima.

But the tech is far from ready. We need more research—especially on deployment and scaling-up—as well as rapid emissions reductions to lower the dependency.
Die EU will das Klima schützen, indem sie das Verfeuern von Holz fördert. Das aber ist ein verhängnisvoller Irrsinn und könnte schwerwiegende Auswirkungen aufs Klima haben.
