Oh dear.
I hope:
1. Model is flawed
2. AMOC doesn't stop anytime soon

...as I really don't want a -29°C extreme cold event.
At present, there are only a few frosts each year here (IOM)

How Much Do ICE Raids & Detention Cost Per Arrest? On September 8, 2025, the Supreme Court cleared broad immigration stops in Los Angeles, and DHS opened a Chicago surge dubbed Midway Blitz. Days earlier,

Not just the RAAC issue - anything awkward and/or costly.

Heathrow third runway: What's the plan for expanding the airport? The chancellor says expanding Heathrow would boost growth, but there is a lot of vocal opposition.

I can't see them dropping while the UK is planning on a massive expansion & third runway at Heathrow.
So loads of concrete (& consequent CO₂ emissions) & capacity increase from just over 80m passengers to 140m

Other countries likely to also put growth as a higher priority than reducing CO₂

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis - Wikipedia

That's nasty.
Hadn't heard of it, so I googled (link below)

Problem is, the heating will continue after "affordable" overshoot is reached, especially as the rate of warming has increased (Leon Simon reports indicative warming rate now about 0.4°C/decade)

While I can't see them in power for a good while, I think it would be good to remove the "tax on moving" & possibly replace it with an annual property tax

This Toxic Lake of Black Sludge Is the Result of Mining to Create Our Tech Gadgets A lake full of toxic black sludge and dangerous chemicals is the result of waste from a mining process used to create minerals needed for many of our tech gadgets.

The Chinese don't always have so much consideration for the environment.

Example - massive rare earth sludge lake, Weikuang dam.

"hard to replicate in a lifetime." pre-2000 : yes, but now, I think we get more extreme events every year, so perhaps 5 years before another October cold spell there.

Easily.
They have had it far too easy, far too long.

Even when they got fined £120m last August, they were given up to 5 years to pay £100m of the fine.

560 ppm CO₂ equivalent
The "equivalent" means converting the effect of other greenhouse gasses to the amount of CO₂ that would cause the same heating, then adding that to the current CO₂ (~425ppm)

Main two are methane & nitrous oxide.

Not £122m though.
Thought it was ~£5m
Would be s good start I suppose.

So no early season skiing at Whistler anytime soon ?

Trouble is, policy is decided by old politicians (mostly), rather than people with 50+ years still to live.

Hence UK government fine with it's two largest airports planning one additional & one improved runway.

Mostly, it seems business as usual...
Gatwick to spend £2.2bn on second runway to allow 100,000 more flights.
Heathrow plans third runway for £49bn

Apart from the CO₂ from burning the fuel, each cubic metre of concrete emits at least 300kg of CO2
