"We're nearly halfway through the 2020s, dubbed the most decisive decade for action on #climatechange. Where exactly do things stand? #Climateimpact scholar Johan Rockström offers the most up-to-date scientific assessment of the #stateoftheplanet and explains what must be done to preserve Earth's resilience to human pressure."

A #Filipino joined #ClimateLitigation against #TotalEnergies, in case filed in France. #LegalAction, filed this morning in Paris by 8 #ClimateImpact #survivors from 7 countries & 3 #NGOs, is #unprecedented in history of #climate #litigation - opening the way to holding #FossilFuel producers/shareholders responsible at #CriminalCourts for chaos caused by #ClimateChange. #Greenpeace #Philippines is supporting the case.

Special thanks to @lalitpatnaik for favoring an reply on a 'toot' of mine[ 206 #ClimateSolutions #Consumerism ]

And while they talk about putting the bill up for the children, nobody is talking about the real #ClimateActions governments should take.
Estimated costs of the #ClimateCrisis :
$ 38,000,000,000,000 every year by 2050 on climate impact alone !
compared to
$ 27,610,100,000,000 total US gov spending 2023.
Besoz's net worth apr '24 was $ 204.000,000,000.
That would mean we will need 186.27 Besozes every year to cover the estimated costs of the ClimateCrisis.
[disclaimer: figures and calculation may be faulty; the facts are not]

So,
DON'T YOU EVER COMPLAIN about the costs of #ClimateMitigation [costs to limit climate change]
DON'T YOU DARE mentioning the debt for a future generation. The costs of mitigation IS PAYING THE DEBT to this and the future generations. It is NOW that you’ll have to pay for the mitigation of YOUR GENERATION wild and greedy exploitation of the Earth !

"Climate Crisis to Cost Global Economy $38 Trillion a Year by 2050"

Quotes:
"This clearly shows that protecting our climate is much cheaper than not doing so, and that is without even considering non-economic impacts such as loss of life or biodiversity," a new study's lead author said."

"The climate crisis will shrink the average global income 19% in the next 26 years compared to what it would have been without global heating caused primarily by the burning of fossil fuels, a study published in Nature Wednesday has found.
The researchers, from the POTSDAM INSTITUTE for CLIMATE IMPACT (PIK), said that economic shrinkage was largely locked in by mid-century by existing climate change,.... "

"I am used to my work not having a nice societal outcome, but I was surprised by how big the damages were"

"This means that the COSTS OF INACTION have already exceeded the costs of limiting global heating to 2°C by six times, the study authors said. However, limiting warming to 2°C can still significantly reduce economic losses through 2100."
