HI?,
Scientists say the way to avoid catastrophic global warming is to lower
atmospheric carbon dioxide levels at to below 350 ppm. The world hit a
record 421 ppm (parts per million) on April 3. Getting back below 350 ppm
by the end of this century will require decreasing fossil fuel emissions by
10 percent per year and drawing carbon out of the atmosphere and into the
biosphere by restoring the world's forests, wetlands, and soils.
Unless we begin these emergency climate actions now, the remaining global
carbon budget for the Paris Climate Agreement's goal of 1.5?C will be
blown by 2027.
What comes next as global temperatures rise locks us into self-reinforcing
cycles of:
* Mass species extinctions and ecosystem collapse
* Agricultural failures and mass starvation
* Resource wars and hundreds of millions of climate refugees
Meanwhile, Biden's corporate climate plan promotes fossil fuels and clearly
allows fracking to continue and new pipelines to be built!
Gas-fired power plants are supposedly going to use unprofitable carbon
recapture and storage systems.
Rather than investing in clean and proven renewable energy sources like
wind and solar power, this plan clings to fossil fuels while promoting
dirty, dangerous, and costly nuclear power.
What little support there is in Biden's plan for clean renewables is
nothing more than disguised corporate welfare. These tax credits
incentivize the markets at a leisurely pace that we simply cannot afford to
move at.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
We _NEED_ an ecosocialist solutions based on public enterprise and
planning. Anything short of a rapid emergency transition to 100% clean
renewables and negative carbon emissions is not going to address the very
dark reality of this climate crisis.
If you want to see what kind of investment is actually needed (and how we
will make this happen), you can check out our website to see the
Ecosocialist Green New Deal Budget [4].
Join us as we continue to fight for an immediate fracking ban, a halt to
new oil and gas pipelines, and a full-scale Green New Deal with the
economic democracy we need to carry it through!
Fight back against Biden's climate craziness. Make a donation (recommended
$27) today to support the fight for sustainable and responsible change with
an Ecosocialist Green New Deal! [5]
