power keeps beating expectations

"Energy forecasters have long underestimated the speed at which is growing... The world is installing more solar than ever before at a pace that even many top energy analysts didnt see coming... So far this year, 29 percent more solar has been installed than was in the same period last year"

US facing pressing challenges in meeting climate goals: Report

To meet these targets, emissions from the power industry must plummet dramatically, falling to 26 per cent of 2023 levels by 2030. Even with this steep decline, projections showed the US would only reach 82 per cent carbon-free generation by 2035, falling short of the government's goal

Study links climate change to explosive methane release in Siberian permafrost

The combination of pressure, warming, and unique underground layers all contribute to this explosive process, which can take decades to unfold, linking its origins to climate warming beginning in the 1980s

Climate change affects mortality rates. A recent paper looked at this and found that mortality rates will increase substantially by the middle of the 21st century (2036-2065) under different scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions growth.

Records obtained by the Guardian show that lobbyists working for major North American oil and gas companies were key architects of anti-protest laws that increase penalties and could lead to non-violent environmental and climate activists being imprisoned up to 10 years.

According to the IMF companies received around $7tr (5.23) in subsidies in 2022.

A report published on Tuesday (link below) reckons well over $5tr (3.74tr) per year could instead be directed toward by ending these subsidies in the developed nations, making polluters pay and taxing the super-wealthy.

Excellent discussion about AMOC, tipping points, adaption vs. mitigation, and where we might be able to limit the warming trend.

Folks have enough on their plates with these things but and causality demand repitition. These storms are heat engines. As we increase carbon dioxide and methane and trap more heat the fuel in the tank and particularly the Gulf of Mexico increases. The storms get bigger and more frequent. It's a vicious cycle.There are things you can do. One of those things is to stop voting for imbeciles that think climate change is a hoax. You wil find these are bad people generally

I do agree with Friends Of The Earth, that geoengineering should be done in conjunction with reducing carbon emissions.

Zillow will now show climate risks for property listings in the US #zillow

Earlier today I published a story about hurricanes intensifying faster and becoming stronger, on average, and dumping more rain, than in the past. I had in mind, because rapid intensification was in the forecast.

The forecast was right.

"Prof Yunus is now in New York to attend the UN General Assembly.Speaking at the event, he said the Paris Agreement, the global accord for limiting the effects of climate change, would not work as long as the world sticks with the current economic system.

That system is centered on maximising profits, creating wealth for a tiny group of people and generating massive waste, he said. 'The economic system we have built is a key to the destruction of this planet. Humans had created a self-destructive civilisation,' he said.

The 2006 Nobel laureate said no matter what changes were made to the agreement, it would not make a difference until the world's underlying systems were redesigned.

Developing countries like Bangladesh should not have to bear the burden of the climate damage done by rich countries, he said."
