The world's climate goes down the drain and nobody is doing anything against it?

Well... not quite. There is more to be done, that's for sure, every °C counts. But there has been quite some progress in the last years, and Simon Clark was so nice to make a video about it.

Enjoy 15-20 minutes of a person listing all the nice things the news don't tell you very often because bad news give more clicks!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading "The Lost Cause" by @pluralistic relatable human characters struggling with real problems in a believable way. Interesting technologies that we should make reality (or ensure are never built). Fun and useful tale of the future present for the #ClimateCrisis. I also enjoyed the much shorter "The Canadian Miracle" from the same universe. https://craphound.com/category/lostcause/

Weird how Liberals act like they're so very concerned about misinformation, yet here we have Mark Carney peddling discredited carbon capture technology as a way to produce “decarbonized” oil.

For those unaware, carbon capture is a scam and it is absolutely not a viable solution for dealing with emissions.

Chinese makers of air conditioners have witnessed explosive growth of exports to Europe, Southeast Asia and North America.

Data from the General Administration of Customs showed that China's exports of air conditioners stood at 31.67 million units in the first half, up 13.2 percent in June alone from the same period last year. The country's total output of air conditioners reached 17.58 million units in June, an increase of 35.3 percent year-on-year.

Record-breaking extreme weather is the new norm in the UK, scientists have said, showing that the country is firmly in the grip of the climate crisis.

The hottest days people endure have dramatically increased in frequency and severity, and periods of intense rain have also ramped up, data from hundreds of weather stations shows.

I wonder how the grid is going to cope with people rushing to get air conditioning to deal with the heat.

Eliminate corporate tax-cuts on aviation expenses ... that will remove some unburned kerosene off the air

save on tire consumption

It takes the monthly budget of an African village for an executive to fly a few hours away because the train takes 30% longer to be present to a useless meeting, and it is all a big tax-cut/state subsidy to aviation industry and kerosene pumpers

Canada’s government treats war funding as urgent but climate action as ‘unrealistic’ despite heat domes killing 20x more people than terrorism. While military spending is set to soar to 5% GDP, climate gets scraps at 0.7% GDP, half of which funds fossil fuel scams like carbon capture.

The real security threat is climate chaos displacing millions and collapsing food systems Yet we’re buying missile shields instead of mass electrification.

Varcoe: Carney says it's 'highly likely' an oil pipeline will make Ottawa's major project list.

I'm a way, liberals are worse than conservatives on the climate because at least conservatives are honest about what they're doing.

Meanwhile, liberals pretend to care about the climate while doing the exact same thing.

In a sane world, this would be the biggest, most important news story in the world.

‘Tipping points’ experts issue urgent message to world leaders.

“Every fraction of a degree above 1.5°C matters. And every year of “overshoot” matters too.”

“It’s ultimately a matter of survival.”

A desperate search for 11 girls continues.

59 of the confirmed deaths occurred in #KerrCounty, Sheriff Larry Leitha said Sunday, including 21 children. In addition to the #deaths in Kerr County, there were 8 deaths due to the flooding in surrounding counties.

The flooding hit #CampMystic, a Christian summer camp next to the Guadalupe River, where 11 campers are still missing, Leitha said.

“It’s crazy that we celebrate people who are billionaires. It should be illegal for Christ’s sake. It’s got nothing to do with money, and everything to do with how big their dick is. We should have awards and whenever someone achieves $100 million, which is already obscene, we give them a bronze statue of a dick, and when you get $1 billion, we could give them an even bigger dick.”
