Still a chance to return to 1.5C climate goal, researchers say
Still a chance to return to 1.5C climate goal, researchers say
Report calls for scaling-up of renewable energy and electrification of key sectors to limit peak of global heating
There is still a chance for the world to avoid the worst ravages of climate breakdown and return to the goal of 1.5C if governments take concerted action on greenhouse gas emissions, a new assessment argues.
The Climate Analytics report says governments’ goals are inadequate and need to be rapidly revised, and calls for the rapid scaling-up of the use of renewable energy and electrification of key sectors including transport, heating and industry. Continue reading...

🧬 CAR T cells demonstrate the power of engineered cells as therapeutics. But they fail for most patients. Can CRISPR help here? Our new paper in Nature (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) presents a screening platform to optimize immunotherapies & discover boosters of CAR T cell function. (1/13)

Nach dem Interview mit Klimaforscher @rahmstorf.bsky.social frage ich offen in die Runde: Wann gibt es einen Klimagipfel im Kanzleramt?
Wir rasen gerade auf etwas zu, dass die jetzigen Herausforderungen geradezu lächerlich erscheinen lassen.

It was an unbelievable year for global climate.
As data is released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new climate change records. Apologies for all my graphs in advance!! 😬
