The final agreement from COP30 doesn't mention fossil fuels, argues we are only 80% of the way to 1.5C, sets out an insane timeline of GHG reductions, and mentions 'a rapidly narrowing window.'
The COP is dead and burried. And COP30 was the final nail.

“But it’s precisely because U.S. policy is so unpredictable that predicating Canadian behaviour on the hope of avoiding erratic U.S. reactions is likely futile. … The best way to ensure that Canadians aren’t next isn’t to remain silent … it’s to insist that law applies to every country’s conduct…”
Canada once spoke out against unlawful American military action. Why it’s time to do so again now

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Canadians shouldn’t have to resort to guessing about the main element of Mark Carney’s entire policy agenda.
It is fundamentally offensive, and antithetical to good governance and sound policymaking, that Carney is leaving everyone to guess why he’s doing what he’s doing.

A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...

The 3-year running mean for the Global surface temperature anomaly above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline is now at 1.495°C.
Given the current global temperature forecast, the 3-year mean should cross 1.50°C within the next 30 days.
