Es wäre großer Fortschritt, wenn unter „Technologieoffenheit“ auch verstanden würde, existierende Technologien, mit denen sich Probleme lösen lassen, zu forcieren – vom Fahrrad für klimaneutrale urbane Mobilität über Tempolimitierung via Gaspedal beim Auto bis zu erneuerbaren Energietechniken. Stattdessen wird mit „Technologieoffenheit“ aber die reine Hoffnung auf noch nicht einsatzreife Verfahren instrumentalisiert, um alten Businessmodellen Zeit zu verschaffen – das Gegenteil von Innovation.


Back in 2018, I told the Coal Commission that coal emissions cannot extend to beyond 2030 unless very deep cuts are made fast (which they weren't). And that was not even for 1.5C but for <2C, and with data from 2017: six high emission years have since passed, using up a lot of the CO2 budget. Here's original material I showed back then. I spoke as an expert for the gvmt's Council on the Environment SRU. The commission ignored this expert advice. It did not fit the "compromise" 2038.
