Climate scientists warn that the world is on track to burn through its remaining "carbon budget" by 2028, making the 1.5-degree warming goal of the Paris Agreement unattainable. The narrative has shifted from general warming to a specific "budget" of 130 billion tons of CO2. The segment ends with a brief observation on the aesthetics of the B-2 bomber during its hangar rollout.

A new study suggests that the Earth is on track to exceed the 1.5-degree Celsius warming limit established by the Paris Agreement by early 2028. Researchers claim the remaining "carbon budget" will be exhausted within three years, making significant environmental tipping points inevitable. The report warns of intensified heat waves, larger storms, and rising sea levels affecting island nations.

Stanley Johnson, father of Boris Johnson, appeared on GB News to discuss the necessity of a "global carbon budget" to be divided among nations and sectors. The conversation covers the potential for travel restrictions and the reliance on climate modeling. Critics argue that such policies are a "scam" designed to limit individual freedoms.

### Dutch Speed Limits, Carbon Budgets, and Nitrogen Crisis

- **Episode:** [1190: Olive Theory](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1190-olive-theory.md)
- **Published:** 2019-11-17

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1190-olive-theory/chapter/dutch-speed-limits-carbon-budgets-and-nitrogen-crisis.md

The Dutch government has lowered the national speed limit from 130 km/h to 100 km/h to reduce nitrogen emissions and meet climate goals. This policy shift is intended to free up "carbon budget" space to allow the construction sector to build 75,000 new homes, partly to accommodate rising immigration. The move is noted as a reversal of the same party's previous policy that had raised the speed limit years prior.

Sixteen-year-old activist Greta Thunberg addressed the World Economic Forum in Davos, delivering an alarmist speech claiming "our house is on fire." She cited IPCC reports stating the world has less than 12 years to undo climate mistakes and introduced the concept of a "carbon budget." Thunberg called for a reduction in CO2 emissions by 50% and criticized the global financial system for prioritizing growth over survival.

Greta Thunberg proposed that the "carbon budget" should become a new global currency at the heart of future economics. Her movement has inspired massive student strikes, including a 35,000-student protest in Brussels where children skipped school to demand climate action. The hosts express skepticism toward the movement, jokingly comparing the young activists to convincing AI or "Google guys" creations.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outlines her strategy for funding social programs by reversing Trump-era tax cuts and increasing the corporate tax rate to 28%. She proposes a carbon tax to incentivize a transition to renewable energy and suggests reprioritizing the $700 billion military budget toward healthcare and education. Critics point out factual discrepancies regarding the scale of military budget increases and the mechanics of tax rates.

### The Economics of Carbon Pricing and the Global Carbon Budget

- **Episode:** [778: Long Gun](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/778-long-gun.md)

The hosts analyze the financial implications of the "carbon budget," which aims to limit total emissions to 750 gigatons. They calculate that a proposed carbon price of $22 per ton could result in a $2.2 trillion global tax. They argue that "putting a price on carbon" is a fictional numbers game that will ultimately be passed on to consumers through higher energy costs.

The IPCC released the executive summary of its Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) for policymakers. The hosts analyze the messaging, noting the shift toward terms like "extremely likely" and the introduction of a "global carbon budget." They critique the concept of "climate services" as a way to integrate carbon pricing into every sector of the global economy.

European Commissioner for Climate Connie Hedegaard compares the IPCC report to a medical diagnosis, stating that a 95% certainty of a dangerous disease requires a cure. The hosts criticize this metaphor as alarmist and scientifically inaccurate. They discuss the EU's targets for 2030 and the push for an "energy budget" for the Earth.

The hosts analyze the federal budget showdown as political theater designed for news ratings. Discussion focuses on the ideological battles over Planned Parenthood funding and EPA regulations, which the hosts argue are actually about carbon credit taxes rather than clean air. They criticize the media's portrayal of the potential government shutdown's impact on national monuments and parades.
