With full recognition of the work carried out by millions of committed leaders, scientists, and institutions – among them the United Nations, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the World Meteorological Organization, and the International Energy Agency – one conclusion is now unavoidable. After 30 years of “UN Climate Change…
Why Africa’s Realities on Climate Change demand Global Action
Africa contributes the least to global greenhouse gas emissions yet faces the harshest consequences of climate change. While advocacy for global mitigation is important, Africa cannot wait passively for others to act. Africa’s Climate Realities Are Urgent Climate change is a global challenge, but its consequences are felt by some…
The currently by far most important graph for humanity
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…
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…
UNEP talks on global plastic pollution show very strong need for global democracy
From 5 to 14 August 2025 the second part of the fifth session (INC-5.2) form the “Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee” (INC) talks to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution where held in Geneva, Switzerland, by the “United Nations Environment Programme” (UNEP). Due to the resistance of fossil fuel…
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….
2025 BRICS summit shows potential for global democracy
Nothing justifies the killing of another human being, nothing justifies the attack on an another state (e.g. the attack from the “Russian Federation” and its helping countries on “Ukraine”), and nothing justifies in our view the suppression of different cultures within a country, as long as there is a peaceful…
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…
0.1% of military budget for global democracy & global peace
Ahead of the “2025 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Summit in The Hague” (24 – 25 Jun. 2025) we ask leaders and decision makers to further focus their effort on the development of global democracy as the best way towards global & sustainable peace. We wish to have a discussion…
“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…
“Eurovision Song Contest” shows great potential for global united society
Change demands passion, collaboration demands humanity, and a united society demands love and creativity. Art and culture can provide all of these so very important credentials for a healthy and thus sustainable (global) society. “There is no Christian, no Muslim, no Jewish blood. There is only human blood.I say, be…
Global health is the path and will deliver global peace
We have a dream – a world with all the people, yes, all the people living withing a global healthy and thus sustainable society peacefully together. To make this dream a reality, there are three core concepts important in our view – (1) the skill of all the people for…
The root cause for trade deficits
The major damage from the current “United States of America ” (USA) administration is its distraction from our currently by far greatest (security) threat to humanity – global warming, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity. Based on that and since there is significant noise & irritation, I want to…
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….
Trump administration acknowledges global warming
With the official trip from Mr. Vance et al. to Greenland, the Trump administration most importantly acknowledges global warming. The press conference from Mr. Vance “visiting” Greenland, March 28, 2025 (e.g. Forbes Breaking News) reveals, the Trump administration acts like the Putin administration with the “peaceful” annexation of Krim 2014….
1.5°C expected in 4.5 years – we need a first global referendum on climate actions now
Latest data from the “Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S)” (copernicus.eu) and its “C3S Global temperature trend monitor” shows global warming reached 1.38°C in February 2025. Reaching 1.5°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels – the limit agreed under the “Paris Agreement” – is expected by September 2029, within ca. 4.5…
