the world to a 2.8 degree temperature rise by the end of the century. that spells catastrophe. yet the collective response remains pitiful. we re hurtling towards disaster. eyes wide open, with far too many willing it all on wishful thinking and proven technologies and silver bullet solutions. it s time to wake up and step up. it s time to rebuild trust based on climate justice. it s time to accelerate the just transition to a green economy. limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees celsius is still possible. we must consider this as a moment of hope, but it will require carbon emissions to be cut by 45% by 2030. to help get us there, i have proposed a climate solidarity pact in which all big emitters would make extra efforts to cut emissions, and wealthier countries supporting emerging economies to do so. there was quite a lot that was in that. let me talk about a few of these issues. first you, that. let me talk about a few of these issues. first you, pet ....

Water but i can tell i can feel the waves around but actually it is using the same hydrofoil technologies that you can see it is out of the water which means. and look at him he s having the time of life out there! but whereas the speedboat is built for pleasure, leisure and basically showing off, the ferry is being pitched as a way of making waterborne public transport competitive in fuel costs and environmental costs as well because, as well as not feeling the waves, it does not make them, either, meaning it s good for everything that lives here. traditional ferries create big wakes and when it drives in our sensitive archipelago it is a sensitive ecosystem with marine life and the birds and the fish, it causes erosion from the shorelines. that is a really big challenge for us. we need to reduce ....
The wakes to be able to drive in a more sustainable way in our sensitive environment. the principle of hydrofoiling is not that new but it has only been recently possible to do in this way. the first reason is that we now have materials that are up to thejob. you need thin blades, made super strong but very thin to not create too much drag. typically they use carbon fibre, a perfect material and you can build them in fairly small volumes otherwise you would have to rely on steel, it becomes heavy and costly to manufacture. the second reason is the high end computation going on below deck. this is the science bit. when you raise a boat almost entirely out of the water, it becomes unstable because you have all the weight up here above the wings that it is balancing on in the water, ....
