"We must recognize that there are thresholds beyond which we will simply exceed the adaptive capacity that human civilization affords us. This is the real lesson your readers should take away from the unprecedented summer we’re currently experiencing."

@michaelemann.bsky.social nails it again.

If @billgates.bsky.social were to read #ScienceUnderSiege by @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & myself, he would know that climate change is amplifying deadly pandemics. Only someone ignorant of the science adopts the fallacy that we can treat global health and the climate crisis as separate threats

Divided the profit of the big oil companies by the fossil CO2 emissions we reach a value of 160 usd/tCO2 : the value of the polluters allowed by society of not paying

Of course the planet will be fine, as a home for the future generations of humans is an other question.

It seems that 2 n2 of PV and a battery could be a viable alternative

Distributed energy working its magic. One more area of the world that won't be burdened with a network of pipes of methane (natural gas).

"Figures published by the ministry say the electrification program has already built 350 solar plants, bringing electricity access to 27,500 households."

"a kind of celebration of ignorance"

An inspired display of positive, patriotic civic action. The Lexington MA rally was excellent, including this inspirational speech/poem by MA poet laureate Regie O’Hare Gibson. youtu.be/GGtiPOZBaUg?...

And keeping atmospheric CO2 in check is already becoming harder, as we're running into this: bsky.app/profile/sust...

This graph says it all: instead of starting to go down, the *annual increase* of atmospheric CO2 is setting new records. We're making climate change worse at a record rate.
Turning this around should be our top priority, and it's not.

The disaster at the CDC, explained by its former boss The CDC has lost one-third of its staff this year. What now?

6/ Former CDC director Tom Frieden warned: “Even if [facts] are denied and suppressed and misused and misquoted and cherry-picked, facts are still facts. The plain truth is that most people want to be healthy and safe, and what’s being done now is putting that very much at risk.”

As prices for wind and solar drop, favoring fossil fuels means the U.S. is “putting all of our money on a horse that’s already lost.”

Look at those civilised persons, they are perhaps your neighbours or the father of the friend of your kids.

Europe’s climate is changing fast – here’s how it’s affecting people and the economy Daily life for people living in Europe is already becoming unpredictable due to the consequences of extreme weather.

UN agency says CO2 levels hit record high last year, causing more extreme weather The United Nations weather agency said carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere reached record highs last year, intensifying climate change and extreme weather.

Global carbon dioxide levels hit a record high last year, rising past anything seen in human history, according to @wmo-global.bsky.social.

It’s an urgent reminder of the pressing need to drive emissions down by building a cleaner economy.

Should also do. Tariffs are set by centralised power plants gamers not for the storage price of the electricity I have produced my self and will consume later. Tariffs of today are built for power deficit supply based on fossil reservoir, they have a problem when an uncontrolled excess occurs.

One could question the market: cheap tariffs would mean excess of non flexible production to be used by batteries no ?

Le TF confirme la condamnation d'une activiste pour le blocage du pont du Mont-Blanc

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Helsinki has significantly reduced the number of roads with 50km/h speed limits since the 1990s and this along with other measures has lead to a significant drop in cyclist and pedestrian accidents involving cars, even periods of zero fatalities.

Still waiting to retrospectively apply polluters pay principle: what appears cheap today is not cheap if the climate debt is included
