Eine dramatische, bittere Woche geht zu Ende. Und doch, trotz des Grabens, der sich heute aufgetan hat, ist meine gesamte politische Überzeugung, dass Demokraten mehr gemeinsam haben als sie trennt. Um diese Gemeinsamkeit kämpfe ich. Aus ganzem Herzen und mit voller Überzeugung.
Demokraten müssen in der Lage sein, miteinander zu reden. Unser Appell an die Union: Kommen Sie zurück in die demokratische Mitte! Nutzen Sie keine Mehrheiten mit Rechtsextremen. Unsere Einladung zu konstruktiven Gesprächen steht.

Nächste Woche ist die letzte ordentliche Sitzungswoche der Legislaturperiode. Wir gehen davon aus, dass die @cducsu ihr Wort hält: Demokratische Mehrheiten jenseits der AfD!

⚫-🔴 würde gerne weiter alles unter sich ausmachen. Die Zeiten sind vorbei. Je besser die Umfragen für 🟢, desto schlechter lässt sich das ignorieren. ARD/ZDF sollten nicht nur die Herren Merz & Scholz zum Duell einladen. Sagen Sie's weiter. Lassen Sie sich keine Option nehmen!
Auf in ein erfolgreiches 2025! Schöpfen wir neue Kraft, gehen wir mit Zuversicht in dieses Jahr, machen wir es zu einem guten Jahr. Wir können es.
2025 haben Sie, habt Ihr die Wahl, ganz wörtlich. Machen wir was draus.

Yet, the text on transition away from fossil-fuel remains too vague, with no accountability for 2030, 2040 & 2050. No recognition that scaling CO2 removal technology needs to occur in addition to fossil-fuel phase out, to have a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C (3/4)
The decision at #COP28 to finally recognize that the climate crisis is, at its heart, a fossil fuel crisis is an important milestone. But it is also the bare minimum we need and is long overdue. The influence of petrostates is still evident in the half measures and loopholes included in the final agreement.
Fossil fuel interests went all out to control the outcome, but the passionate work of millions of climate activists around the world inspired and motivated delegates from many nations to loosen the industry’s grip.
Whether this is a turning point that truly marks the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era depends on the actions that come next and the mobilization of finance required to achieve them.
We must ask ourselves how much longer will the world have wait before all nations summon the political will to overcome these narrow special interests and act on behalf of the future of humanity. It is up to all of us to hold our leaders accountable to their promise to transition away from fossil fuels once and for all.
The world must get onto the blue path: cut greenhouse gas emissions in half over the next seven years!
That is what “keeping 1.5° alive” means. #IPCC
And we must limit warming to 1.5° to avert a planetary scale disaster.
All countries agreed to that 2015 in Paris.
#COP28
The science is clear: we must phase out fossil fuels.
That's why I've joined over 2000 CEOs, NGOs, scientists, heath experts, youth + faith leaders to ask decisionmakers to prove which side of history they are on--because #LaterIsTooLate.

Mary Robinson reacts to the release of the draft text at #COP28:
“It is not good enough to say you recognise and respect the science but then fail to take heed of its dire warnings in the collective action you commit to.
It is not good enough to note with ‘alarm and serious concern’ the findings of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and the damage being caused by climate change but then fail to put in place the steps the science recommends.
It is not good enough to say you reaffirm the Paris Agreement but to then fail to commit to a full fossil fuel phase out.
It is not good enough to use weak language or to permit loopholes for the fossil fuel industry to continue to contribute to the very problem countries are meant to be committed to tackling here in Dubai.
Adequate time and opportunity still lie ahead, provided that nations promptly return to the negotiating table, equipped with the resolve required for a crisis of this magnitude and a readiness to undertake the necessary measures. This current version of the COP28 text is grossly insufficient.”
Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders
#DraftText #COP28UAE
In den finalen Tagen der #COP28 wird genau darauf geachtet, welche Seiten sich in kritischen Momenten zurück lehnen. Auch die EU und darin vor allem Deutschland ist in der Kritik. Die Erwartungen an einen Phase-Out sind hier gewaltig. Kein Greenwashing, keine Fake-Lösungen.
A major new report on climate tipping points was published today, produced by 200 researchers from 90 organisations in 26 countries.
Read the brief summary in the Guardian:
Earth on verge of five catastrophic climate tipping points, scientists warn https://t.co/GK0jzAN5C2
Don't play into the fossil fueled-psyop "It's too late to limit warming to 1.5C".
The obstacles remain neither physical nor technological but political. To insist it is politically impossible is a self-fulfilling act.

#COP28
The world’s biggest fossil fuel companies plan to spend a Trillion dollars between now and 2030 on oil, gas and coal expansion. No, they are not part of the solution unless they are committed to end expansion and putting more capex into renewables. #COP28
