Sadly, the IPCC then fails, again, to address the profound implications of reducing emissions in line with both 1.5 and 2°C.

The note previously provided the basis for a meeting (20/02/20) between Kevin Anderson and a senior climate and energy advisor to the EC President (Ursula von der Leyen). From that, we can calculate the carbon budget for the poor parts of the world, and work out what’s left for the wealthy parts of the world. Do we really care about the poor elsewhere? Anderson takes a look at this top 10%, starting with climate scientists: Policy makers are in the top 10%. The Paris Agreement also has an equity dimension. It is for sustainability, but it’s not for climate change. “People may not like some of them, for one reason or another, but they are all in the 5-15 grammes of COAnderson excludes biomass because of the problems with NCarbon capture and storage is not low carbon. Cut away the economic niceties and the social cost of carbon is little more than an attempt by a particular hue of economists to put a price on the global scale impacts of climate change from now, throughout this century, and on across centuries to come. And that delivering on the Paris Agreement is “far more challenging than most scientists and politicians will admit, at least when you put a microphone in front of them.” Anderson says, “They’re all too scared of countering the orthodoxy.”Anderson reckons that real mitigation for 2°C is just about possible, but adds, “I don’t think it is possible for 1.5°C. Our choice is between a short-term Anderson gives an upbeat quotation from Robert Unger:Anderson finishes with another reflection on the role of universities: I watched Anderson’s presentation again recently after seeing it in a series of tweets by Thanks for your notes on Kevin’s presentation. Imagine a space where climate academics could be truly honest with policy makers about their analysis and conclusions, and where disagreements were discussed openly and constructively. “It’s going to require a Marshall style reconstruction of our energy system,” Anderson says. We know where to find the solutions. Electricity is currently only 20% of the electricity that we consume.

We’ve already got 5-7% in our cars. “While it sounds like you can buy them off the shelf, these things don’t exist,” Anderson adds. The negative emission technology that dominates the models is BECCS – biomass energy with carbon capture and storage. The COAll of those technologies are electricity based. He is research active with recent publications in Royal Society journals, Nature and Energy Policy, and engages widely across all tiers of government. We can’t possibly question demand, because growth goes on forever. We’ve got to feed 9 billion people. They are not in the utopian reliance on technology and economics. Biomass is the new silver bullet.Anderson explains just how ridiculous BECCS is. This post is based on a presentation given by Kevin Anderson, Professor of Energy and Climate Change at the University of Manchester. With Paris we’re probably aiming for between 3°C and 4°C, if you add all the promises that countries made in the Paris Agreement. Anderson talks about romantic illusions and negative emission technologies. Technology on the demand side and the supply side, and the behavioural side and the equity issue.There are lots of low-carbon energy options: geothermal in Iceland, offshore wind turbines, nuclear power stations (Anderson’s father used to work at Sizewell A nuclear power station), dams, tidal energy, wave energy, and solar panels. The fires this year in the Amazon, sub-Saharan Africa, Indonesia, Europe, Siberia, Alaska, and Greenland illustrate how far we are from achieving this.The recent record on tropical tree cover loss is far from impressive:This is not to say that we shouldn’t plant trees or protect forests.

Aviation wants it. This equity dimension has been there since the Kyoto Protocol. He focusses on BECCS (biomass energy with carbon capture and storage), but he could just as well have focussed on natural climate solutions, including REDD.
