Ahead of the 2025 “Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change” (COP30), heaving read e.g. the fantastic contributions “UNEP – Emissions Gap Report 2025: Off target. Continued collective inaction puts global temperature goal at risk” and the “WMO – State of the Climate Update…
News about global warming, climate change & the loss of biodiversity
UN “Climate Summit 2025” shows strong demand for global democracy
While the new “Planetary Health Check 2025. A Scientific Assessment of the State of the Planet.” impressively shows 3 so called “planetary boundaries” within the “high risk zone” (introduction of novel entities, modification of biogeochemical flows, change in biosphere integrity), 1 within “high risk zone” and “increasing risk” (climate change),…
What happens after reaching the “1.5°C climate tipping point” in 2029?
Inspired by the fantastic contribution “Climate science is clearer than ever. How should companies respond?” (World Economic Forum, Radio Davos, 2025/08/25), I want to clarify three in my view most important points.
Mitigating global warming is too big to fail
There is a storm coming up, a very big storm, and a deadly storm. Indications multiply towards a so far significantly underestimated speed and intensity of global warming, according to that a significantly underestimated impact of climate change, and a significantly underestimated loss of biodiversity. What we need now is…
2025 “OPEC International Seminar” shows fundamental misunderstanding within (global) politics
There is this fundamental misunderstanding from (global) politics, corporations would act in the “common interest”. No. Corporations act to maximise their individual profits and will use all legal possibilities to achieve this goal. Adam Smith (1723-1790), the “father of capitalism”, was already aware of and very clear about that. Having…
Global warming is like a shark attack
(Global) Politics failed to keep global warming within the 1.5°C (physical) limit and we think, global warming is still significantly underestimated, since we expect an exponential temperature rise (cf. “Temperature rise will be exponential“). Let us keep this simple. This is not a matter of even more or better data….
How to actually mitigate global warming
Flooding in Kerr County, Texas, United States of America (USA), heat waves in Europe with burning forests, an entire village buried in Switzerland. We see dead people, wining & praying politicians. No, God will not mitigate global warming! Are these catastrophes related to global warming – yes, of course! Global…
“Trump administration” is killing potentially billions
The current geo-political development mainly coming from the “Trump administration” is the worst case scenario, it is a full disaster! The amount of destruction coming from the “Trump administration” is by far the worst, worse then everything else so far happening to humanity, including the 2nd World War. There are…
The (most likely) greatest impact project in human history
Global warming, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity is by far the current greatest (security) threat to humanity (cf. our trans- & interdisciplinary global warming scenario). It is silent, it is slow, it is complex and it is inert & thus delayed. Based on what we understand about our…
Temperature rise will be exponential
Global warming, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity is in our view the by far greatest (security) threat to humanity ever in human history (nuclear weapons certainly have the potential to extinct humanity within seconds, but they are men made and can be fully controlled by men, e.g. cf….
