"decrease the interest rate temporarily", so central banks responded to the carbon tax hikes or was it something else?

Impairing from the aggregate demand side, as in carbon taxes in the Nordics have generally been contractionary fiscal policy, or impairing from the supply side because of some sort of efficiency losses?

If you evaporate, condense, freeze, and then melt the recycled water, I'll drink it as fresh spring water.

RealClimate: “But you said the ice was going to disappear in 10 years!” RealClimate: Almost two decades ago, some scientists predicted that Arctic summer sea ice would 'soon' disappear. These predictions were mentioned by Al Gore and got a lot of press. However, they did ...

So compared to leaving peatlands drained, rewetting and restoring them generally helps to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, but it should go without saying that protecting intact peatlands is a lot more effective and should take priority... (4/n)

So restoring peatlands means finding appropriate vegetation and groundwater levels throughout the year. Rewetting also comes at the cost of increased CH4 emissions, but the net effect on greenhouse gas emissions is usually a reduction... (3/n)

Drought years in peatland rewetting: rapid vegetation succession can maintain the net CO2 sink function Abstract. The rewetting of peatlands is regarded as an important nature-based climate solution and intended to reconcile climate protection with the restoration of self-regulating ecosystems that are ...

One study by (Beyer et al, 2021) doi.org/10.5194/bg-1... looked at a rewetted peatland that contained open water surfaces, or vegetation gaps. A drought event allowed pioneer plant species to grow in these vegetation gaps, while the peatland was still a hydrological sink... (2/n)

Peatland restoration: While rewetting a peatland (or raising the groundwater table) reduces emissions of CO2 or N2O, the peatland won't immediately become a net carbon sink again. For that, you need to restore the original vegetation properties of the peatland... (1/n)

The most disappointing thing to see in a new build is a lack of bike parking spaces

The Cryosphere Science feed never really got off the ground huh

Remember what the conversation about renewables was like just 10 years ago

Transport is one of the most stubborn sectors in terms of reducing GHG emissions, the lack of bike infrastructure in cities is gonna turn out to be one of the biggest policy flops

This might seem funny to parts of the world where meat was never a large part of the diet

I wish the work was always as well demanded as the schooling is funded

Maybe I'll post something about peatland rewetting soon

I still haven't bothered to read what the Subnautica 2 controversy is about

A real issue with urban cycling is how chopped up the bike networks are. Sometimes you're sharing the road, sometimes you've got a questionably marked bike lane, sometimes you're on the sidewalk, or the bike path just disappears entirely. Imagine the road network being that way.

These banks' opinions don't change anything, they have no special information on climate policy or renewable tech that lets them predict the future better than anyone else. It's not a reason to push the goalpost past 2°C.
