 Climate reporting standards insufficient and must be expanded, say experts
Story by Science X staff • 19h • 2 min read
 
Anew paper from the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford concludes that current climate standards are not sufficiently incentivizing the big picture innovations necessary to deliver net zero, and must be expanded to include a company's broader influence on climate action.
 
The research, published in Carbon Management, comes after a period of fierce public debate about climate standards and offers possible solutions for those seeking to improve both integrity and impact of corporate climate action.

Incentivizing climate action and innovation in the corporate world is essential says co-author Dr. Matilda Becker. "Of the 2,000 largest companies, close to half still do not yet have a net zero target, while some are going further without reward. We need to incentivize companies' efforts beyond their boundaries."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Experts in what, garbagology?  You can't report climate because it's an academic, not a current physical phenomenon.  It's a long-term average, 20+ years, not what is happening outside your window. :thumbsdown:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Considering the two coldest days I was out in, working, in Wyoming and North Dakota, the official NWS low temperatures have been warmed up by nearly 10 degrees now, what is the point on reporting more data for the 'researchers' to "adjust"?

If the data is discarded because it doesn't support their theory, what f'n good does it do to even write it down?
The data set is corrupted. GIGO

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
