I watched this a few month ago. Took up the offer of sending in questions. No answer yet.
Q1: What is a reasonable remaining carbon budget (in CO2e) to keep within 1.5°C (or 2°C)?
On a per capita basis, how does it compare with average world yearly emissions?
How much more than this are average European emissions?
Q2: What’s the current thinking on the radiative forcing index for aircraft emissions?
Is there a Hansen’s Faustian bargain with aircraft emissions because in the first few decades air flights cool the Earth?
CF: Unger et.al. Attribution of climate forcing to economic sectors
Q3: Can the global carbon intensity of production be reduced fast enough to save the climate and avoid de-growth?
If GDP needs to be constrained there is full employment, labour productivity must be constrained. This means wages are constrained. How can the incomes of the low poor be supported?
Q4: In reference to BECCS (and more generally), has anyndetailed work been done on the albedo effect of biomass planting?
CF. Bala et al. Combined climate and carbon-cycle effects of large-scale deforestation
e.g. Has there been work to find crops with “good” albedo?
Q5: What do the panel think of solving fuel poverty by taking from the rich to give to the poor?
Has anybody considered that to heat houses requires heating hundreds of cubic metres of space to warm people that occupy a few metres each?
Q6: Would the panel demand high profile governmental campaigns to tell the public the effects of their everyday actions?
Would a more detailed version of How bad are bananas? by Mike Berners-Lee help?
Q7: Is mass car ownership compatible with saving the climate?
Q8: In assessing green house gas emissions what is the appropriate weighting for methane compared to CO2?
