Re: "...the carbon budget - the amount of CO2 that can be emitted while avoiding climate disaster..."
By that definition, there is no more carbon budget. Zero.
I think it is the correct definition.

The government’s Carbon Budget Delivery Plan released today, seemingly has no consideration of the 100+ AI data centres that Big Tech wants up and running during the plan’s implementation. #AI #datacentres #CarbonBudget #Climatechange
Ireland's transport and electricity sectors are set to exceed their #carbonbudget allocations this year, while the residential sector is likely to remain within its carbon budget, new data from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has found. 🇮🇪

88-91% believe that national shares of the #carbonbudget should be in proportion to population, and 72-82% believe that countries that have emitted more since 1990 should receive a smaller share.

Carbon Inequality Kills: Why curbing the excessive emissions of an elite few can create a sustainable planet for all
The paper highlights how the excessive #emissions from the lifestyles and investments of the super-rich are accelerating #GlobalWarming, leading to severe #economic losses, crop failures, and increased mortality rates, particularly in low-income countries.
Key points include:
Carbon Inequality: The richest 1% of the global population are responsible for a disproportionate amount of #CarbonEmissions, depleting the global #CarbonBudget at an unsustainable rate. If everyone emitted carbon at the rate of the top 1%, the remaining carbon budget would be exhausted in fewer than five months.
Luxury Emissions: The document provides evidence of how private jets and #superyachts owned by billionaires contribute significantly to carbon emissions. For instance, the private #jets of 23 #billionaires emitted an average of 2,074 tonnes of carbon annually, equivalent to hundreds of years of emissions for the average person.
Investment Emissions: The investment activities of billionaires are even more damaging, with their #portfolios heavily weighted towards polluting industries. The investment emissions of billionaires are, on average, around 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents annually, vastly overshadowing their personal consumption emissions.
Economic and Human Costs: The emissions from the richest are causing trillions of dollars in economic damages, significant agricultural losses, and millions of excess deaths due to increased global temperatures. Low- and lower-middle-income countries bear the brunt of these impacts.
Recommendations: The paper calls for urgent action to reduce the emissions of the super-rich through progressive #taxation, banning or heavily #taxing carbon-intensive luxuries, and regulating corporations to reduce their #CarbonFootprint's. It also advocates for making rich polluters pay for climate damages and reimagining economies to prioritize human and planetary #wellbeing over #wealth accumulation.
Overall, the document emphasizes the need for systemic changes to address the dual crises of climate change and inequality, urging governments to implement policies that curb excessive emissions and promote a more equitable and sustainable world.

"According to the Committee on Climate Change, the UK’s share of global emissions is approximately 1 per cent. However, the carbon budgets they have recommended, up to 2043, are equivalent to 1.79% of what they acknowledge to be the available global budget for only a 50% chance of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees. Britain is setting too large a carbon budget for itself, taking nearly twice its fair share"

The UK must make big changes to its diets, farming and land use to hit net zero – official climate advisers

"The #ClimateChange Committee, the #independentwatchdog tasked with ensuring the #UK meets its legally binding #netzerotarget by 2050, said in its sixth #carbonbudget that there could be #noairportexpansion unless there were significant reductions in #carbon intensity in other areas of the #economy such as #roadtransport and #agriculture.

Interesting how NATO and EU are engaged in a dialogue about defense budgets as a % of national budgets. A dialogue that I think is fundamental.
Can we also start a real dialogue about binding financial obligations allocated to limiting and reversing climate change as a % of national budgets? We need to make clear to everyone that CO2 ceilings and financial budgets can not be seen as separate subjects. Protecting climate is about everyones safety.
"The [#UK's] first three carbon budgets were relatively easy to meet: mainly completing the switch from coal to gas that was begun in the 1990s, and investing in renewable energy, such as offshore wind.
But other high-emitting sectors of the economy – transport, industry, buildings and farming – have made far less progress under recent governments. As a result, the UK is already badly off track to meet the current #CarbonBudget – the fourth, which runs to 2028."
