Wegen Reservekraftwerken: Bundesregierung plant neue Abgabe für alle Stromkunden - WELT Neue Gaskraftwerke werden nach dem Plan der Bundesregierung als Reserve etwa im Fall von Dunkelflauten ans Netz gehen. Ihre Betreiber sollen auch schon für die Bereitstellung dieser Kapazitäten bezahl...

#Gaskraftwerke im Übermaß bauen belastet nicht nur #Klima, sondern auch Verbraucher*innen. Unsere Berechnung zeigte bereits im April, dass Reiches Pläne den #Strompreis um bis zu 1,6 Cent pro kWh erhöhen würden. Deshalb: Erneuerbaren Ausbau fortsetzen statt abwürgen!

Vor 11 Jahren beging die islamistische Terrororganisation „Islamischer Staat“ einen Völkermord an den Jesid*innen. Wir gedenken heute der Opfer, die damals grausam ihr Leben verloren, vergewaltigt und versklavt wurden oder fliehen mussten.

“If we plan restoration targets to match future climatic conditions and consider state transitions of currently natural ecosystems due to climate change, the potential for natural climate solutions related to ecosystem restoration is close to zero.”

We should come to terms with the fact that forest, shrubland, grassland, and wetland ecosystems cannot offset fossil fuel CO₂ emissions.

But we should still protect and restore them for biodiversity and other ecosystem benefits.

This is figure 2, which shows spatial patterns of heatwave duration scales in the current climate.

The duration of long heatwaves increases at an accelerating rate with warming such that a large increase in the risk of long-lasting heatwaves results from relatively modest warming, according to an analysis in Nature Geoscience. go.nature.com/44WkxMB 🧪
