the poor or completely absent coverage of the events in #Lützerath by the #English-language press is a disgrace (but as one commenter replied to my original #German-language post, completely normal), and speakks volumes about the #AngloAmerican worldview. If one exclusively read the English-language media, one could conclude that Greta Thunberg was the beginning and end of the German environmental movement, that what happened had only to do with the hamlet of Lützerath, and not with #CO2 emissions or Germany breaking the #ParisClimateAgreement, that on Saturday there was not a crowd of 35,000 people who assembled around Lützerath, that no #PoliceBrutality occurred there, that there will be no political consequences over the clearing out of Lützerath for #coalmining, etc.

I had planned to look into this in detail and write about it, but I no longer have any desire to do so, it is too depressing. Instead here are a few examples:

First, here is the one thorough report I could find in English, from the Times of London (hat's off to you, Sunday Times!)

Top climate scientists are sceptical that nations will rein in global warming

Nature conducted an anonymous survey of the 233 living #IPCC authors last month and received responses from 92 scientists — about 40% of the group. Their answers suggest strong scepticism that governments will markedly slow the pace of #GlobalWarming, despite political promises made by international leaders as part of the 2015 #ParisClimateAgreement.

For the major goal of "climate neutrality by 2050" (EU, USA), or "CO2 neutrality by 2060" (China), #GreenhouseGas #emissions must be reduced towards 0 – but it's not enough. At least 100 gigatonnes of #CO2 must be removed from the atmosphere up to 2100. To meet the temp. targets of the #ParisClimateAgreement, the world community will probably have to pay off a considerable "overdraft" of CO2 in the atmosphere.

World Could Cross 1.5ºC Warming Danger Threshold Within Five Years

The #WMO has released an updated assessment of the world's global #climate trends and it's a shock for those who think human-induced #ClimateChange is an issue for the distant future. They predict there is a 40 % chance that one of the next 5 years will breach the 1.5ºC hotter than the pre-Industrial average set out to avoid in the #ParisClimateAgreement.
