SYDNEY SIZZLE

After a sweltering day of at least 40C (104F), Sydney Australia will have to wait a little longer for relief.

The promised southerly buster is not expected in the city until 10pm on Sunday, but will dramatically decrease the temperature in a matter of minutes.

EARTHS BLANKET

The generic features that are consistent with quantitative estimates of the greenhouse effect are:

a) In thermal equilibrium: energy in=energy out (energy entering the atmosphere & exiting back out to space)

b) Human behaviors & activities (that emit greenhouse gases) are increasing the concentration (ppm) of atmospheric greenhouse gases, which is causing less energy (heat) to exit back out to space. AKA or

In a sense, the Hokkaido city of Ishikari represents the idealized, natural version of Hokkaido for many Japanese. Some residents say massive wind turbines will destroy that image.

Like it or not, nuclear is likely coming to merchant ships as part of reducing carbon emissions. GenIV reactors have promise, possibly.

The future of global food production is under threat as temperature rises will impact farmers' physical capacity to work, a new study has revealed...

Germany should go big on nuclear fusion energy

"...fusion is not going to help solve the climate crisis in time. Because of this uncertain timetable, critics say investment would be better directed at the more rapid deployment of renewable energy, such as solar and wind."

And these critics are whom, exactly

Buy local

Cut down greenhouse gas emissions by buying local food and products. Local goods travel less, saving fuel and reducing pollution. Local goods also support sustainable producers who care for the environment and the community. Buying local is good for you and the planet

Europes solar industry is facing a crisis as Chinese competition erodes manufacturing in the sector, rendering the continents hope of greater energy independence even more wishful.

Sorry for being a killjoy, but the climate impact of shipping goods piece by piece from China must be huge. Around 80% of global trade is transported across oceans on cargo vessels currently powered by fossil fuels such as heavy fuel oil.

What are your thoughts about these new floating nuclear power plants

Cont'd. First photo is a giant calla lily in the freeze. They are root hardy here and their foliage typically dies back gradually in the fall, but this year it was sending out new shoots in December. Now I'm worried about losing the corm altogether. Second is a cast iron plant (Aspidistra eliator 'Asahi'). Most people know it as a house plant. It earns its name- this is after 72 hours below freezing-those leaves are bullet proof!

"Shipping uses over 300 million tonnes of fossil fuels every year..."

Fourth, a plant that I did actually cover with plastic, and it worked, I think. This is Dierama pulcherrimum, or angel's fishing rod. The roots are hardy in my climate, but the foliage may or may not die back over winter. But in my garden, it doesn't flower in summer if it's had to regrow leaves in spring. I know it looks floppy, but that's how they are. Leaves look good, not dessicated. Will likely perk right up in spring.

Third, a Rhododendron macbeanum, a big leaf species rhodie that's native to southwest China (Himalayas), it can stand frost but not much below freezing. Leaves on these guys last 2+ years and they don't have many, so losing them is a big deal. First you can see the leaves curled up like cigarette papers during the freeze. I thought it was done for, but after the thaw (second photo) they returned to normal and look healthy enough.

Second, a bay leaf plant (Laurus nobilis). Only barely hardy in zone 8b, the longest I've had one survive was for about 5 years. This one is a goner I think-- the splotches on the leaves are tissue damage that won't be repaired by the plant. Roots might out out a new stem but it will be a long while before it's big enough to spare a leaf for soup.

First, Daphne odora. A small evergreen shrub with the most lovely smelling blooms. Shouldn't be blooming yet but it was almost 50F before the cold snap. First photo is during the freeze, 2nd photo after the that. Leaves will all fall off but it will flush out new ones in short order.

So we had a massive freeze last week in the Pacific Northwest, actually most of North America got hit with a polar vortex. As the cold was coming in, I was rushing around with plastic trying to preserve a few hardy but delicate plants in my garden. Here's a short thread on how the cold affected different plants.

Fairbanks Airport might well drop to -40F/C or lower a few days in the coming week. This is not at all uncommon. However, the average frequency of such deep cold days has dropped by more than half in the past century. It's more than a decade since there's been more than a week's worth of such cold, much less the long brittle winters of the mid-20th century.

China's coal output reached a record high in 2023, amid an ongoing focus on energy security and a rise in demand after pandemic-related restrictions eased.

The world's biggest coal producer mined 4.66 billion metric tons of the fuel last year, up 2.9% from a year earlier, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

The country's overall power generation, which is dominated by coal-fired plants, rose 8% year-on-year in December.
