The climate summit in Poland has been given a boost in recent weeks by well-timed climate change reports shaping the news agenda. But if we dig deeper than most of the media did, these reports demonstrate what is wrong with global warming policy discussion.

The first report was by the United Nations’ panel of climate scientists, the IPCC. It was widely reported as urging the world to draconically cut emissions to keep temperature rises below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Activists tend to exaggerate the impacts of climate change while underestimating the costs of tackling it. The reception to the new US climate assessment was instructive. The report largely attempts to remain soberly scientific, and follows the even more careful global report by the United Nations’ climate-science panel, known as the IPCC.

Sadly, accurate science doesn’t make for good television; predicting the end of times does.

Christiana Figueres, the former United Nations official responsible for the 2015 Paris climate agreement, has a startling vision for restaurants of the future: anyone who wants a steak should be banished. “How about restaurants in 10-15 years start treating carnivores the same way that smokers are treated?” Figueres suggested during a recent conference. “If they want to eat meat, they can do it outside the restaurant.”

Zrezygnowanie z jedzenia mięsa to jest najnowsza rada na ratowanie planety: „nowe, duże badanie” twierdzi, że „olbrzymia redukcja w konsumpcji mięsa” jest „niezbędna, by uniknąć załamania się klimatu”, jak to ujmuje „Guardian”.

Było to po twierdzeniach Humane Society, że ”twoja dieta może uratować planetę” i propozycji niemieckiej Partii Zielonych ustanowienia narodowego dnia wegetarianizmu.  Także były dygnitarz ONZ ds. klimatu wierzy, że „najlepszym rozwiązaniem dla nas wszystkich byłoby zostanie wegetarianami”.

Three years have passed since world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with 169 targets that must be reached to transform the planet. We are one-fifth of our way towards 2030, but miles behind on achieving the lofty goals to reduce poverty, increase prosperity, protect the planet and advance peace.

Dejar de comer carne es ahora el último consejo para salvar el planeta. Un “nuevo e importante estudio” sugiere que una “gran reducción en el consumo de carne” es “esencial” para evitar la degradación del clima”, como lo expresa The Guardian. Esto es consecuencia de las afirmaciones de la Humane Society de que “su dieta podría salvar el planeta” y de la propuesta del Partido Verde alemán de un día nacional vegetariano semanal. Incluso el ex alto funcionario de la ONU sobre el clima cree que “la mejor solución sería que todos nos volviéramos (Fuente www.perfil.com).

With input from more than 400 experts from government, international organisations, scholars, and intellectuals, the Bangladesh Priorities project helped identify 76 investments that would help achieve the nation's goals under the 7th Five Year Plan.

In a TV interview with France24, Lomborg explains why the Paris climate agreement is a highly costly treaty that will change little.

Abandoning meat is now the latest advice for saving the planet, with some claiming that a huge reduction in meat-eating is "essential to avoid climate breakdown.”

Lomborg discussed this subject on the FOX Business show Varney & Co.

Abandoning meat is now the latest advice for saving the planet: A “major new study” suggests that a “huge reduction in meat-eating” is “ ‘essential’ to avoid climate breakdown,” as The Guardian puts it.

This follows claims from the Humane Society that “your diet could save the planet” and the German Green Party’s proposal for a national weekly vegetarian day. Even the UN’s former top climate official believes “the best solution would be for us all to become vegetarians.”
