🔥 🌍 Burning planet episode 3247: Collapse of natural carbon sinks was not part of the climate models... and it is accelerating global heating. Some key quotes of this must read (and ACT upon) article: 1️⃣ “In the northern hemisphere, where you have more than half of CO2 uptake, we have seen a decline trend in absorption for eight years,” he says. “There is no good reason to believe it will bounce back.” 2️⃣ “Nature has so far balanced our abuse. This is coming to an end,” 3️⃣ “None of these models have factored in losses like extreme factors which have been observed, such as the wildfires in Canada last year that amounted to six months of US fossil emissions. Two years before, we wrote a paper that found that Siberia also lost the same amount of carbon,” 4️⃣ “We shouldn’t rely on natural forests to do the job. We really, really have to tackle the BIG issue: fossil fuel emissions across all sectors,” In short: ⬇ Phase out fossil fuels immediately ⬆ Rebuild nature ⬇ Remove excess CO2 #cleanupyourwaste Global Footprint Network The Guardian https://lnkd.in/eaMjyzRy

We've hit a critical point: 73% of wildlife populations have declined, according to the 2024 Living Planet Report! 😔 This tragic loss highlights how much pressure we’re putting on ecosystems through human activities, reflected in #EarthOvershootDay. Our demands are outpacing nature’s ability to regenerate, with devastating consequences for #biodiversity. 🐾 ... #WildlifeDecline #OvershootDay #Conservation #Sustainability #BiodiversityCrisis #LivingPlanetReport #GlobalFootprintNetwork

We are thrilled to announce that our co-founder, Dr. Mathis Wackernagel, has been honored with one of the prestigious 2024 Sustainability Awards from the Nobel Sustainability Trust, in partnership with the Technical University of Munich. Established by the Nobel family, these awards recognize individuals who are making significant contributions to sustainability and the protection of our planet's vital resources. This award recognizes his leadership in advancing global sustainability, particularly through his role in creating the #EcologicalFootprint concept and the annual #EarthOvershootDay campaign. The award ceremony will take place in November. ⏬ https://lnkd.in/dZZ73tkx

How many livable planets do we actually have? #ConnectTheDots
Climate & Energy Leader at WMO | Climate Science & Policy Expert | Sustainable Energy Advocate | TEDx Speaker | GITEX IMPACT Leader
🌍 How Many Earths Would We Need If Everyone Lived Like One Country? The results may shock you. This #dataviz uses figures from the Global Footprint Network, and highlights the stark differences in how countries consume the planet’s resources. 🔑 Countries with high consumption levels are ecological "debtors", meaning they exceed their natural limits, while those with lower footprints can be considered "creditors". Global consumption patterns drive #climatechange, with wealthier nations leading the way in resource depletion. However, it is the most vulnerable populations who often suffer the consequences, reinforcing existing global inequalities. Bridging this gap requires transformative action on both climate and social fronts. 🌱 It’s time to rethink how we live and use resources, before we run out of our “Earths.”

Wednesday memories! The National Basketball Association (NBA) stars rocked yesterday in Jeux Olympiques Paris 2024 ●. In 1992 the first NBA players where invited to play at the Games in Barcelona. A true Dream Team with Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Karl Marlone, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley and Larry Bird (to do some "star-dropping"). Global interest in basketball soared due to the Dream Team. Back then humanity was in overshoot and used 1.2 Earths. In the last 32 years, our overshoot grew: from 1.2 Earths to 1.7 Earths. Overshoot will inevitably end: by design or by disaster. The choice is up to us. Are you part of the Dream Team that sores the #MoveTheDate movement?

🥇 week down in Overshoot... So what do: 🛢 the Carbon Pulse, 📈 our economic growth model, 🌳 the lack of ecological education, 😵 and the mother of all cognitive dissonances have in common? Find out in the Great Simplification podcast of Nate Hagens, in which he not only unpacks overshoot but also gives pathways to overcome it. #Overshoot #OnePlanet #OurChoice https://lnkd.in/e9BN4b8b

The #Olympics are halfway. The People's Republic of China is leading the medal ranking with 16 gold medals. Who's leading the #Overshoot leaderboard? Who will win the medal ranking in a week from now is unclear. It is however clear that Overshoot will end. By design or by disaster.
