El Niño is over but the heat is still here
This continued warmth means that it is likely that 2025 will end up more or less tying 2023 as the second or third warmest year since records began in 1850.

This may be coloured somewhat by the fact I'm recovering from covid, but in 20 years of writing about climate change I think this may be one of the bleakest reports I've ever covered. www.businessgreen.com/news-analysi...
'All systems are flashing red': How the world is failing in its climate goals
The latest State of Climate Action report reveals that for all the progress sparked by the clean tech boom, the global economy is still badly off track for meeting its net zero goals

Koldioxidhalten i atmosfären ökar snabbare än väntat. Har nu nått över gränsen för 1,5-graders målet
Yes the CO2 rise 2023-2024 was faster than we predicted at Mauna Loa and was a record rise there - now the WMO confirm the global mean rise was also a record

Also the rate of CO2 rise is now above the IPCC scenarios that limit global warming to 1.5C

This is either clever or crazy or both: a UK company will install, in your home, a miniature data center, about the size of a heat pump, to serve as your home heating.

Jag vill minnas att regeringen sa att det inte var något problem med minskad reduktionsplikt eftersom de skulle satsa på elektrifieringen av fordonsflottan
Det går inget vidare.

Trafikverket har nu bestämt sig. Efter skarpa direktiv från regeringen har de landat i hur mycket pengar av 1 200 miljarder som ska gå till det mest hållbara trafikslaget cykel. Och summan är noll (0) kronor.

Another consequence of US budget cuts on climate change research - less science from Antarctica
US to retire its only icebreaker, stranding polar research - new article posted today by @cuboulder. The icebreaker is critical for researchers who study the changes on the edges of Antarctic glaciers and how they relate to climate change and sea level rise. buff.ly/oMAElHY #antarctica #glaciers

NEW: China's president Xi Jinping unexpectedly joins the UN climate summit, by video, to offer his nation's 2035 climate pledge

* Cut GHGs to 7-10% below peak by 2035, "striving to do better"
* Raise non-fossil share of energy to at least 30%
* Boost wind/solar to 3,600GW

Låg ambitionsnivå i Kinas nya klimatmål som presenterades i FN igår:
Xi Jinping announced China's new climate targets personally, a positive gesture, but the targets brought little clarity on China’s future emission pathway. Targeting a 7-10% emission reduction by 2035 from an undefined "peak level" undersells China's current clean energy boom.

När den statlig byråkratin - som bör verka apolitisk och endast utgå från lagen - underställs auktoritära krafter kommer kapitalistiska företag vara de första som kastar överbord värdegrund och dylikt i syfte att få igenom sina önskemål - det är i princip inbyggt i den ekonomiska rationalismen.

Here are 10 provocations on climate and energy. Tell me if you agree, disagree or have a nuanced take. Drop your own provocations in reply or quote post.

Start:

1. By 2030, the use of air conditioning will lead to greater increase in electricity demand than data centers. And it's not even close!

The destruction of higher education in the US:
My MA in Central Eurasian Studies was funded by FLAS fellowships. I studied Uzbek. Then I used my knowledge of Uzbekistan to predict that the US would turn into an authoritarian kleptocracy that does things like cut the FLAS fellowships. In horrific ways, it was an undeniably useful education.
We're sending out cancellation of FLAS (Foreign Language & Area Studies) fellowships to dozens of students today, bc Trump has illegally refused to disburse year 4 of our DoE grants. Congrats to everyone in the GOP who is laser-focused on 🇺🇸 national security & the threat of rising 🇨🇳 to 🇺🇸 hegemony.
