Has the Labour government lost its way? #GreenGrowth #Growth #Renewables

While #GreenGrowth is a scam, it would already be an improvement of our current path. Which isn't even worth the term 'scam', blatant as it is in its disregard of our world and humanity.

Green Growth? Only within Degrowth | Steady State Manchester

So much for green capitalism.

"""
Managers in the $5 trillion hedge fund industry say the reason is obvious: Despite the promises, clean energy and green technology stocks have lagged far behind the broader market.

Deep-pocketed institutions are concluding that many climate investments won’t pay off as quickly, or as lucratively, as they’d hoped.

Doing a bit of work on "Green growth" Vs "Degrowth". The idea is to frame GG within an overall reality of finite limits and contraction. That is, "Green growth within Degrowth'".
It might be more easily heard within the hegemony of growth than a bald opposition. It's kind of dialectical in both senses.
Thoughts?

#Greengrowth: 30% of regions worldwide achieve economic growth while reducing #carbon
#emissions, finds new PIK study. Though progress is evident, the authors state that the pace is too slow to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

In discussions on green growth and degrowth, always first check the definition of growth.
If it's in terms of GDP, the whole discussion makes little sense. If GDP keeps growing, but we spend a large share on repairing and preventing climate damage, it doesn't increase wellbeing.

“Flight shame is dead,” said Stefan Gössling, a researcher at Lund University, who studies tourism and climate change. “Partly what killed it is that governments promised to act on climate change … You can’t keep up momentum if people don’t still believe they need to fight.”

Since all leaders are telling the fairy tale that 1.5C can be kept alive, that #greengrowth can be achieved, etc people think we can all sit back and relax.

We shouldn’t.

We simply don’t have that long, and the #greenGrowth advocates who try to sell us such a plan are prioritizing a desire to save #capitalism over a desire to save life on this planet.

"More green energy is not slowing this catastrophe. What we need is to stop the construction of new pipelines, drilling operations and airports; to end our structural dependency on cars; to recover ecosystemic and localized forms of food production that are inalienable from the communities that rely on them. We need to stop growth-based industry, deepen our relationships with our ecosystems and help them adapt."

"They pretend that emissions can be counted country-by-country and ignore the carbon emissions caused by exported fossil fuels, even when those exports are crucial to a country’s economic growth. And they hide rising emissions by counting a country’s emissions per capita rather than counting total emissions.
[...]
These are all ways of ignoring the truth that, globally, carbon emissions and renewable energy generation are rising hand-in-hand."

It’s being paid for by military production, the automobile industry and the aviation industry. It’s being paid for by banks and other companies that have their hands deep in the pockets of many of the worst polluters. ​“Green growth” is a marketing strategy.
Advocates of green growth claim many countries have already ​“decoupled economic growth from CO2 emissions” but when we look past their colorful graphs, we see they are burying the truth under statistics."

"when we look at the countries that are held up as success stories, we find that the green energy transition is being paid for by fossil fuel production. It’s being paid for by the logging and mining industries that deplete and poison our clean water. It’s based on land stolen from Indigenous peoples and policed by human-rights violators. >

Green growth theory posits that we can decouple growth of the real economy - the one that provides goods and services that can lift our standard of living - from growth of energy use, pollution etc. I don't if that's true. But as I pointed out yesterday, financialisation has been pretty good at...

> Decoupling on-paper economic growth from anything that actually lift's our standard or living

So who knows?
