Extreme heatwave sweeps across West Africa

West Africa is experiencing its worst heatwave in recent memory. High temperatures have gripped nations including Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. Experts say it's linked to climate change.

: "When Microsoft Corp. pledged four years ago to remove more carbon than it emits by the end of the decade, it was one of the most ambitious and comprehensive plans to tackle climate change. Now the software giant's relentless push to be the global leader in artificial intelligence is putting that goal in peril.

The Seattle-based companys total planet-warming impact is about 30% higher today than it was in 2020, according to the latest sustainability report published Wednesday. That makes getting to below zero by 2030 even harder than it was when it announced its carbon-negative goal.

Now to meet its goals, the software giant will have to make serious progress very quickly in gaining access to green steel and concrete and less carbon-intensive chips, said Brad Smith, president of Microsoft, in an exclusive interview with Bloomberg Green. In 2020, we unveiled what we called our carbon moonshot. That was before the explosion in artificial intelligence, he said. So in many ways the moon is five times as far away as it was in 2020, if you just think of our own forecast for the expansion of AI and its electrical needs."

We're in the beginning stages of a chocolate shortage with production trailing demand by nearly 400,000 tons this year. To put things into perspective, last year's shortfall was only 74,000 tons. So, that's roughly a 400 percent increase. This is something that the public doesn't understand.

The 1.5C target itself wasnt a dream, it was a very serious target to ensure minimum risk.

The dream was in thinking that this target was achievable without objective commitments from countries, without talking about fossil fuels, with technological magical thinking, net zero ambiguity, business as usual, fossil fuel delegates at negotiation tables, growth imperative, greenwashing, charlatan-led carbon offsetting.

New article! I compared climate opinion in NZ and Australia and found:

- Climate opinion is more polarised in Aus than NZ *but*
- More people see climate as high importance in Aus than NZ
- For most people, climate change is a cultural (not economic) issue
- Being culturally conservative is associated not just with being a "hard" climate denier, but also with being "lukewarm" on climate action
