Tillykke, Niclas!

Imponerende med så lige en streg for Tyskland!

Noget der slår mig ved Italien, hvor jeg netop har været på ferie, er, at de nærmest ikke har det elendige bundniveau, som vi har i Danmark. Selv turistfælderne dernede laver ok mad.

Wow, fantastisk

Hvad er den der vogn?

1/10. 🔎At the #JuneClimateMeetings in Bonn, Vicente Paolo Yu, Coordinator for the G77 and China (G77) 🌐 speaks to what is expected by the group from the third review of the Warsaw International Mechanism for #LossAndDamage (WIM) 🔥⛈️🌊 and the proposal to mandate a state of #LossAndDamage report 🌡️📋.

The EPA's reasoning to justify repealing greenhouse gas regulations for power plants is so tortured, I feel like my brain has been waterboarded after reading it 🤯

The justification goes like this...🧵(1/8)

How the Political Theory of the IRA Broke Down Investing in red states doesn’t make defying Trump any safer.

We will see what happens in the Senate, but this @zeitlin.bsky.social piece is a good summary of how the IRA's political vision -- that clean energy investment in Repub districts would keep Republicans from repealing tax credits-- seems to have failed.

Does anyone have a credible list of worlds largest ptx production facilities? Asking because the kassø facility is about to open, producing 42.000 tonnes e methanol annually.

FYI the arson rate in Canada is generally down from two decades ago... [in case you see people blaming increasing wildfire burn area on arson].

Chart shows a big drop in electricity demand in Spain around 1pm from 25GW to close to 10GW. Actual demand now well below scheduled/expected.

Wow! Huge power outage in Spain/Portugal. Just managed to pull this from the Spanish grid operator's website before it timed out. Demand cratered from 25GW to less than 10GW in an instant. 🔌💡

Vildt nok. Erklær folk død, og man kan kradse deres penge ind?

I would like to see a calculation of the mileage cost for offsetting vs full electric

Wow! Den sikre havn er ikke længere sikker. Verden vendes på hovedet. Vildt. Hvad er de nye sikre havne? Guld?

Glacier melt threatens water supplies for two billion people, UN warns - Carbon Brief Climate change and “unsustainable human activities” are driving “unprecedented changes” to mountains and glaciers, a UN report warns.

I wonder how much energy will be used for desalination vs AI in the future www.carbonbrief.org/glacier-melt...

So far there is no Danish FID on the Bornholm -Lubmin connection. Does that matter?

On this week's episode of Solving for Climate, we talk with @hausfath.bsky.social about the world of carbon removals. And some other stuff too: he's worked on a lot!

Politik. Det er nu, de har magt, og den bruger de. Derefter står de på sidelinjen.

“The EV is expected to go into production in 2027 with a starting price of 20,000 euros”

I bought an eUp in December 2013 - why does 14 years have to pass before a similar EV is made by VW?!?

(I know. Profits are bigger, the bigger cars.)

Har det realpolitisk betydning, tror du?

Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between January and April by looking at the decadal average line positions.

In the next few days, I will be sharing some of our work that I am most proud of from my time at NOAA/GFDL. But I would also like a little normalcy today on my feed, so here's my go-to sea ice data viz update.

#Arctic sea ice extent still remains the *lowest* on record for the date (JAXA). Not good

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats.

After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

Head up: A massive mine waste spill is currently killing virtually everything in one of #Zambia's major rivers.

France reduces VAT to 5.5% for solar up to 9 kW The French Senate has approved France's 2025 Budget Law, cutting the value-added tax (VAT) to 5.5% for PV systems up to 9 kW from October 2025. Industry professionals say the delay might prompt homeowners to postpone installations to secure the lower rate.

Elsewhere, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post (SCMP) reports that Chinese researchers have found a link between climate change and the “downfall of some of the most powerful Chinese imperial dynasties” by using “tree rings to track rainfall patterns on the Tibetan Plateau”.

Spotted this in the middle of @carbonbrief.org's summary yesterday of China's green bond debut - China is taking note of millennia-long patterns of rainfall and political upheaval. As an archaeologist, I'm glad to see consideration of these data.
