By Doug Dingwall

A landmark case that began in a Pacific classroom and could change the course of future climate talks is about to be heard in the International Court of Justice.

Climate solutions are all around us. This week's climate solutions in Canada,
a staggering rollout of solar power in big cities and tiny communities alike, the change in mobility away from cars, the impressive potential for heat pumps, or the occasionally goofy world of tidal power,

Private jet carbon pollution jumps 46% over four-year period: billionaires are causing the climate crisisThey are clinging to their private jets and oil profits while regular people see increasing floods, hurricanes and wildfires. borenbears

I didn't mention since there is no data supporting it that I know of, but if stuff is just tossed in landfills, that counts I think.

The Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago said the U.S. economy could lose about 1-4% percent of its annual GDP by the end of the century from a warming world's impacts on "effects to mortality, labor and the energy sector alone under a high emissions scenario."

"regardless of whether we do or dont sign international climate treaties, our commitment to the global fight against falls insultingly short of the need."

CounterPunch: Emergency Summit Regarding Antarctic Meltdown

I understand not everything is about the US market, but this discussion fails to include the terrible environment coming for any company in the US market.

When Climate Meets : Is There A Scaleup Problem

For the first time, we can calculate how much climate change impacts a single storms severity.

The general of why the people that are resistant to accommodating evidence-based information that would, if only they understood, mean they themselves wanted to reduce their own activities, is simple-mindedness. Precisely because it's simple-mindedness, from a of psychology perspective, it's relatively simple to understand why it's only simple mindedness. But, because it's simple mindedness, it's difficult to mitigate using evidence.

Images released by Greenpeace have highlighted the rapid rate at which Arctic ice is retreating.
Taken in the Norwegian region of Svalbard, the photographs show not only ice melt over a century, but significant changes in just the last two decades.

People will finally have the courage to stop the climate crisis when they muster the courage to abolish capitalism and replace it with socialism.

I love that I live in an area where global warming has not only increased the average temperatures, but also brings frequent and weird cold snaps. It is currently 18 degrees Fahrenheit (-8 Celsius) here in November! That is not normal.

I was very surprised that the water in Tarifa (Atlantic Ocean) is warmer than the water in Barcelona (Mediterranean Sea) presently. Both according to official measures and according to feel.

No surprises here. The official said the group also discussed Enbridges Line 5 and the federal government-owned Trans Mountain Expansion. The two sides were aligned in favour of all of the lines, the source said.

Infographic courtesy NOAA/NWS Greetings to all. I'm glad you stopped by. The start of the meteorological winter in the northern hemisphere is upon us. This week, I will start sharing winter weather safety information. The official end of the Atlantic hurricane season has also arrived. Along with this week's US Drought Monitor update there are some good reads, so lets get started.

Only 15% of Canadians plan to buy an EV as their next vehicle

Trump won what now for
He pushed for more and fewer , left the in his first term as , says he hates windmills, promised to scrap on day one if he won the , and calls a scam. And now that hes won, this is a direct threat to the USs pledge to reach by 2050. But all is not lost. Amazon, Google, and Walmart have committed to going 100% renewable.

"Chinas CO2 emissions have peaked or will in 2025, say 44% of experts in survey"

"On December 2, the International Court of Justice will begin hearings on an Advisory Opinion relating to the Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change. Over 100 countries and organizations will present in 30-minute increments over two weeks. At the request of the UN General Assembly, the will determine the existing of countries for their contribution to climate change and what actions countries must take to prevent ."

's a "tobacco playbook" lawsuit:

"Frey's suit accuses the companies of knowing about the potentially catastrophic consequences of continued dependence on fossil fuels for decades, thanks to companies' internal research, but that the defendants undertook a campaign to discredit the scientific consensus on , delay a transition to a green energy economy, and sow doubt in the public's mind about the impact of burning fossil fuels."

We humans have no natural predator you might say but that is not true: there is one.

It kills millions of humans every year about one every 30 seconds.

It's a major contributor to a global conspiracy to destroy as much of the environment that humans require to survive as possible to kill even more humans at an accelerating pace and make the survivors miserable.

Even without its co-conspirators it's capable of turning entire bustling cities into places unfit for humans.
Humans now plan their cities specifically with this predator in mind building some defences but with ultimately little success at curbing its free roam.

Worst yet: It has successfully fooled humans into thinking they are dependent on it when in fact the opposite is the case.

It's a predator that we have created ourselves:

The car.

**Meltwater from Greenland and the Arctic is weakening ocean circulation, speeding up warming down south**

Our results show the Atlantic overturning circulation is likely to become a third weaker than it was 70 years ago at 2C of global warming. This would bring big changes to the climate and ecosystems, including faster warming in the southern hemisphere, harsher winters in Europe, and weakening of the northern hemispheres tropical monsoons.
