One of the largest EU steel manufacturers is not meeting its self-imposed climate targets by 2030 and no longer seems to have any intention of meeting them. While the multinational has only invested USD 800 million in decarbonisation since 2021, shareholders have enjoyed USD 12 billion in dividend payments an EU steel crisis looks different

Two-thirds of global heating caused by richest 10%, study suggests

World's wealthiest 10% have contributed to two-thirds of global warming since 1990, study finds

> Wealthy individuals have a higher carbon footprint. A new study published in Nature Climate Change quantifies the climate outcomes of these inequalities. It finds that the world's wealthiest 10% are responsible for two-thirds of observed global warming since 1990 and the resulting increases in climate extremes such as heat waves and droughts.

>The study assesses the contribution of the highest emitting groups within societies and finds that the top 1% of the wealthiest individuals globally contributed 26 times the global average to increases in monthly 1-in-100-year heat extremes globally and 17 times more to Amazon droughts.

>The research sheds new light on the links between income-based emissions inequality and climate injustice, illustrating how the consumption and investments of wealthy individuals have had disproportionate impacts on extreme weather events

Aviation industry is failing dramatically on climate, insiders say. Professionals call for a fundamental transition including controlling flight numbers.

"Our recent work covering 40 catchments in the Great Basin and Upper Colorado Basin demonstrates this relationship by using a simple metric of groundwater storage, obtained during winter baseflow, to reduce uncertainty in streamflow prediction the following spring by 50%8,9. Perhaps most importantly, simple tools based on this information are available months before snowmelt facilitating long-term planning by water managers. We have been providing these tools to local water managers in the Great Basin and are beginning to expand into the Upper Colorado River Basin.

This project was supported by National Science Foundation awards 2208424, 2012123, and 2043363."

I'll hazard a guess and surmise that the Upper Colorado River Basin and the rest of us will be left twisting in the wind, thanks to the chumpish idiot in the White House who sold us out for picayune bribes.

If I hear one more person talk about putting our brightest people toward solving climate change, I will scream.

Climate change is not some deep mystery waiting for a scientific breakthrough: we know exactly what causes it and how we address that. We have SOLVED climate change.

The problem is not finding the solution, the problem is convincing literally anyone in power that the solution is better than building billionaire bunkers in new zealand.

WA premier pulls back on climate targets, says emission may rise
By Keane Bourke

WA Roger Cook says he won't "shackle" the state to legislation enshrining climate targets, and emissions may instead rise in the state as it develops a "green steel" industry.

People need to read this kind of news like the Martin Niemller poem "First they came". Climate is a tyrant wannabe, following the same plan as a dictator wannabe the current US President, or like Hitler and others before him:

First attack the most vulnerable and hope most people shrug it off as not relevant to them. Then ratchet it up a bit more.

It comes for is all .. or in this case for all of our food. Do not treat this story as a one-off anomaly. Just like stories about polar bears are not about just polar bears.

These are the metaphorical canaries in our coal mine of a planet. Hear them for the alarm they are meant to be.

Treat it as practice for worse. If you don't know what that means to do, treat this as a chance to ask a lot of hard questions. When Climate comes for you, and for your food supply, it will likely be too late.
