So burning fossil fuels plays a role in making heatwaves worse which then leads to this:
“To meet the demand, utilities in New England burned more [methane] gas. [Methane] gas burned in the power sector reached nearly 2.0 billion cubic feet (Bcf) on both June 19 and 20, compared to about 1.20 Bcf per day consumed on the Wednesday and Thursday of the previous week.”
This we can say with considerable certainty: We are completely unprepared to deal with a world at +1.5°C (imminent) given that this is the experience at +1.3°C
@GottaLaff Just got solar generator set up for the home. Backup energy for now, scaling up to whole house. If I can get internet and mobile in a green way somehow I will no longer be beholden on utilities.
My set up is portable in case I need to join you up North. Don’t tell Alberta about the clean energy in my luggage.
Fossil fuel consumption, emissions hit all-time highs: Research.
Overall energy emissions increased by 2 percent last year, exceeding 40 gigatonnes of CO2 for the first time, the report said. #ClimateChange#ClimateCrisis#GlobalWarming
He couldn't do it without a license from the FCC. And why a communications agency is responsible for regulating polluting outer space is a very good question.
Amazon announced Thursday that North American deliveries will ditch its air pillow packaging in favor of recycled paper filler, the latest move in the shipping company’s sustainability push. #ClimateChange#ClimateCrisis#GlobalWarming

"Despite a record rise in the use of renewable energy in 2023, consumption of fossil fuels climbed to a record high last year, driving emissions to more than 40 gigatonnes of CO2 for the first time.
While energy industry emissions may have reached a peak in advanced economies, developing economies are continuing to increase their reliance on coal, gas and oil.

#MediaIsComplicit in #GlobalHeating. They treat these events as one offs or strange occurrences despite these flooding events happening with increasing frequency.
This is a crisis and we need people in rich nations to recognize it for what it is. They have the most power politically and economically to act.
@ScientistRebellion are you suggesting that the average citizen in every other country in the rest if the non-western world has a better information and a deeper awareness on climate change?
maybe that's true: they do not have #scientistrebellion going on. and, sure, they have better average education and independent media.
Asking nicely has not yielded any results as CO2 emissions have steadily increased in rich nations. The will of the people have been overridden by the will of the oil barons.
Join us in disrupting them. We don't have many options left.
@ScientistRebellion wow! how does it feel being covered by #aljazeera 🇶🇦
do you feel like an object of #greenwashing by the state owned media group of third largest world producer of LNG?
don't worry Kalmus and friends will be welcome at University if Doha where they can keep on protesting on the steps of the Sheikh palace
