    Amichai Chikli “The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.” 17 hours ago

    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.” 17 hours ago

“The World Meteorological Organization community is sounding the Red Alert to the world. What we witnessed in 2023, especially with the unprecedented ocean warmth, glacier retreat and Antarctic sea ice loss, is cause for particular concern. Ocean heat is particularly concerning because it is almost irreversible. The trend is really very worrying and that is because of the characteristics of water that keep heat content for longer than the atmosphere.”

“Twenty years from now, a summer like this is going to feel like a mild summer. In terms of incredibly frenetic pace of global extremes we are seeing this summer, in terms of temperatures and precipitation, that's only going to get worse as the climate continues to warm.”

“European and North American temperatures would have been virtually impossible without the effects of climate change. In China it was around 50 times more likely to happen compared to the past.”

“We're in 2023 in the middle of a climate crisis, and while destroying a village to expand one of the biggest carbon bombs in Europe should be considered criminal, it is still legal. Fossil fuel companies' influence is so powerful that the ones considered criminals now are the ones fighting for climate justice. It is time to hold fossil fuel companies accountable.”

“The energy crisis exacerbated by the war in Ukraine has seen a perilous doubling down on fossil fuels by the major economies. New funding for fossil fuel exploration and production infrastructure is delusional and will worsen the global problems of pollution and climate change. Had we invested massively in renewable energy in the past, we should not be so dramatically at the mercy of the instability of fossil fuel markets now.”

“Carbon dioxide is at levels our species has never experienced before - this is not new. We have known about this for half a century, and have failed to do anything meaningful about it. What's it going to take for us to wake up?”

“When we pump out carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, what tends to happens is that this creates a global seeping effect where greenhouse gases trap heat and under warmer conditions, our atmosphere is able to hold more vapour and moisture. When you have an accumulation effect, the longer-term impact of this is that you have sudden downpour of rain in certain localised areas, and that is what you have seen in the floods over Malaysia in the last few days. It's becoming harder for climatologists to predict the weather with a higher level of accuracy due to the climate change phenomenon.”

“As Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate noted in her recent book A Bigger Picture, species are going extinct at a rate greater than the time of the dinosaurs. And as Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, explained in her opening speech at COP26, island nations are now facing a death sentence. One powerful solution to break this bloody chain of damage is to get “ecocide” recognised as a serious crime in international law.”

“I don't think there are many people today who could see climate change as not being macro critical for stability, growth and employment. It is. And the reason the IMF is engaged on this topic is because for our members, it matters.”

“To the untrained ear, net zero (also known as carbon neutrality) sounds deceptively like zero - and therein lies the marketing genius behind this term and its rapidly gaining popularity. It gives the impression that emissions will be (largely) eliminated. However, while one factor in this equation relates to cutting down the level of greenhouse gas emissions, the other involves so-called offsetting, i.e. balancing emissions in one place against reductions in another.”

“What needs to be done? Two things at the very least. First, a complete shutdown of coalmines and new oil and gas rigs. If governments can lock us down to save lives during a pandemic, they can shut down the fossil fuel industry to save humanity. Second, we need a global carbon tax, to increase the relative price of everything that releases more carbon, and from which all proceeds should be returned to the poorer members of our species.”

“Even with all new Glasgow pledges for 2030, we will emit roughly twice as much in 2030 as required for 1.5C. Policy implementation on the ground is advancing at a snail's pace. In an optimistic scenario where some countries' longer-term goals to stop increasing the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - net zero - by 2050 or later were actually implemented, warming could be limited to 1.8C (3.2F) this century.”

“The perception of India's announcement depends on the benchmark used. The 2070 net-zero target was diplomatically necessary - the last major economy to fall in the basket - but more a box to be checked under diplomatic pressure, and ideally should have been linked to developed countries reaching net zero before 2050.”

“The potential intensification of heatwaves in the already harsh, hot and arid MENA [Middle East and North Africa] environment is expected to have direct negative impacts on human health, agriculture, the water and energy nexus, and many other socioeconomic sectors. Societal impacts may be relatively large … Moreover, the human population of the MENA region is projected to peak around the year 2065. Therefore, the threat to water supplies in the region with temperatures rising is very much serious.”

“I was wondering three days ago during a negotiation session why it is so difficult for rich countries to pay this money. It's not aid. It's accountability. My opinion is that in the north, there is a psychological distance to the problem. People see documentary and pictures but do not feel it like we feel it when I go to the southern part of my country. People from the deep south of Madagascar are victims of something that they didn't do. They move to the west of Madagascar and it's a real risk to the biodiversity. When they move, they directly go to the protected areas where they can find resources like wood and medicinal plants - things that are normally forbidden. We should forbid the low-cost flights where you sometimes have two people go from Paris to Madrid or from Edinburgh to Vienna. It's a high-cost flight for people in my country. They pay the price of that. In September, I was attending the IUCN congress in Marseille, and I was totally shocked to see people dining outside restaurants that they are heating [with gas]. This should be illegal. There are many things that should be changed in the way of life of many European or North American or Chinese people. You have to make a choice or have to make a sacrifice.”

“Diminishing water resources, poor water quality, and a lack of integrated approaches could create a recipe for destabilisation. Many water conflicts … are going to happen in the future due to these kinds of situations. Climate change is exacerbating all this and posing further threats.”

“Climate change is one of the factors that has led to desertification and drought in Iraq. Reduced water levels in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are exacerbating this. The discharge of water through those rivers that originated in Iran and Turkey is now decreased by 50 percent.”
