2023-03-02 at 6:18 PM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastCarbon dioxide emissions reached a record high in 2022
Communities around the world emitted more carbon dioxide in 2022 than in any other year on records dating to 1900, a result of air travel rebounding from the pandemic and more cities turning to coal as a low-cost source of power.
Emissions of the climate-warming gas that were caused by energy production grew 0.9% to reach 36.8 gigatons in 2022, the International Energy Agency reported Thursday. (The mass of one gigaton is equivalent to about 10,000 fully loaded aircraft carriers, according to NASA.)
Carbon dioxide is released when fossil fuels such as oil, coal or natural gas are burned to powers cars, planes, homes and factories. When the gas enters the atmosphere, it traps heat and contributes to the warming of the the climate. -

The scale of the solutions which he believed were necessary would be simply too unpalatable for any political party to propose, he argues.
The focus now, he thought, would have to be on mitigation. -

They also have a larger field of view and are therefore better at helping you see, which is why you have them.
Your old glasses look like they belong to someone else. -

In New York, one of several US cities to experience its warmest January on record, spring conditions have arrived 32 days before the long-term normal, which is its earliest onset of biological spring in 40 years of charting seasonal trends by the National Phenology Network.
Spring activity has, meanwhile, arrived at least 20 days earlier than usual for huge swathes of the US south-east and east, with parts of central Texas, south-east Arkansas, southern Ohio and Maryland, along with New York, all recording their earliest spring conditions on record so far this year. -

The science denying population has real world effects, this is one of them. This reports gets into the misinformed fools trying to prevent any adaptation to climate change locally, and how that works.
The fossil fuel industry is waging a war aimed at slowing the critical clean energy transition across the United States, and has trained a cadre of activists, and equipped them with tools and tactics. They are targeting wind energy, solar energy, and anyone, whether it is a farmer, or a local official, who believes in the need for them. In Montcalm County, Michigan, interviews with local farmers and officials detail a "cult like" network lead by a shadowy influencer.
This reveals a social positive feedback loop, the incidental accelerationists, militants for Business As Usual Normal.
Unsurprisingly, they're also into denying the risks of the recent pandemic crisis.
And that's what we can expect in the future: climate and environment crises denial. Same people, graduated from one course of conspiracy stories to another. What stays the same is the business interests, the grifting, the methods.
In essence, it's a very noisy denial of reality, of death, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone familiar with Terror Management Theory. Every field of solar PV panels, every wind turbine - a reminder that the world is dangerous and there's no divine plan and no divine protection. -

I just find it to be a pretty good time once in a while without getting too fucked up, very refreshing.
