A striking chart of electricity consumption per capita data, compiled by an economics think-tank Ember, shows a sharp distinction between G7 and BRICS nations. The graph compares 15 major nations as to their electricity consumption per capita.
The leading electricity-per-capita nations are Canada, the United States, South Korea, and Australia.

Vehicles were left stranded in sudden lakes as the city — 40 kilometres southeast of Winnipeg — was hit with 103 millimetres of rain in just four hours and 135 mm by the time it all stopped.
The storm hit almost exactly one year from the last major flooding incident in the city on Sept. 16-17, 2024. That one dropped 156 mm of rain.
"We didn't expect this kind of rain again"

New research looked at 213 heat waves around the world from 2000 to 2023. No surprise: Heatwaves became more likely and more severe during that period, largely due to the burning of fossil fuels. Of those events, up to a quarter of them would have been impossible without pollution from 14 "carbon majors" — fossil fuel and cement producers including ExxonMobil, Chevron, and the former Soviet Union. @CNN reports on the possible legal implications of this. “Courts are indicating a willingness to hold carbon majors accountable, but at the same time asking for more scientific certainty, and our study helps to close a part of that gap,” said Corina Heri, a study coauthor and law professor at Tilburg Law School in Zurich.

"wealthiest 10 percent of the global population accounted for nearly half of global emissions" through "private consumption and investments, whereas the poorest 50 percent accounted for only one-tenth of global emissions."

The #ClimateCrisis is not just about #carbon molecules in the air. It is about who puts them there and who pays the price. French economist #ThomasPiketty warns that if class inequality is ignored, climate policy will fail. The wealthiest emitters are flying in #PrivateJets, buying oversized cars, and taking short distance flights while ordinary households struggle with rising costs for energy, food, and housing.

Google deletes net-zero pledge from sustainability website | Canada's National Observer: Climate News
> Five years ago, Google’s climate action ambitions were the gold standard for Big Tech. Then, with power demand spikes from AI data centres, in July it scrubbed its sustainability website of its 2030 net zero pledge.
