Climate documentary Global Warning Part I. Into the Storm

New Zealand accused of full-blown denial over cuts to reduction targets.

South Texas lured Tesla, along with Exxon Mobil and other energy behemoths, with the promise of land, cheap energy and, perhaps most critically, abundant water. (...) The companies spent billions of dollars (...) building plants that use huge amounts of water to transform fossil fuels into gasoline, jet fuel and other refined products. (...) Now, Corpus Christi, the regions main water provider, says it is tapped out."

As global temperatures climb, scientists warn of crossing tipping points that could trigger irreversible shifts, from melting ice sheets to Amazon die-offs.

But understanding how these thresholds work shows theres still room for hope and action

Decision for the future: Hamburg to become climate neutral by 2040

In a referendum on Sunday, the city of Hamburg amended its climate protection law &, among other things, to achieve climate neutrality by 2040 instead of 2045. This will probably only be achievable with drastic measures, including a complete ban on combustion engine cars from 2040
