Its a beautiful thing seeing maturity return to the nuclear discussion and the near unanimous positive media response to the Ontario government’s announcement of 6000MW of new ultra low emissions nuclear generation. climateinstitute.ca/news/ontario-p…

Also a reminder of the massive bullet NYC dodged during Sandy; 1000's of elderly people in high rises with no power for multiple days, in what fortunately was not a month with a heat wave. nytimes.com/2023/07/20/wor…

“For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it's five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we'd expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years.” abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…

Best quote in government goes to Commissioner Clements in her statement on interconnection: "Staff has been working nights and weekends for months, their families and friends have been subjected to interconnection policy discussions at the dinner table, their toddlers know...

We have had 36 days in a row of record global surface temperatures. The 150 days of record ocean surface temperatures are starting to increase atmospheric heat. Most of the effects of the developing El Niño on global temperatures are still in the pipeline.

"Changing regional aerosol emissions are transforming the landscape of climate risk." Don't you sometimes feel like you are shouting "Hitler's at Dunkirk," and all the dumb fucking donkeys leading the lions keep going "No, no, he's still on the German border".

🇩🇪 Germany’s coal consumption is through the roof! The phase out of nuclear power in Germany over the last two decades made their reliance on coal even greater. Germany is the example not to follow! Source: Eurostat databrowser

12 Reasons Why Cities Need More Trees: 1. Temperature Control One large tree is equivalent to 10 air conditioning units, and the shade they provide can reduce street temperature by more than 30%. 2. Noise Reduction Trees can reduce loudness by up to 50%. In urban areas

Michael Shellenberger Dude. First, thanks for link to this! earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/145421/… But second, while it technically supports your assertion "And yet the amount of area burned annually by fire has declined [25%] over the last quarter-century", full context is different. Here's fuller quote:

Truly sad that this is one of the winners for the 2023 National Geographic Taiwan Photo Contest. I’m going to guess this is abandoned solar panels in the Liujia district of Tainan. Congratulations to Lin Yi-Hsuan (林儀瑄) for the great capture. natgeomedia.com/photocontest/w…

I recently heard the term "Industrial Left" being used to distinguish between the pragmatic politics arising from a familiarity with how things are built, grown and powered in our society vs. the la la land "New Left" of the academic commentariat whose comical climate policy

"Brazil could record its highest temperature in history during this winter heatwave." Read that again. It's still winter in Brazil and they are approaching all-time record hottest temperatures for *any* month in *any* year. We are in a climate emergency.

@amywestervelt Sierra Magazine Many pushing against renewables w/ decoy whale arguments etc may be part of "climate denial machine". Many may not. To test their intentions: ask what their solution alternatives are. Also, note general lack of solution scale/numeracy. Take US 30GW goal. youtu.be/-EXEB3ZvAkk?si…
