The National Observer zooms in on AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU, as proposing:
🪔 "to slash-and-burn a series of climate policies" affecting clean electricity regulations, the oil and gas emissions cap and the oil tanker moratorium on B.C.'s coast
🪔 "dramatic reversal in policy that would allow carbon capture tax credits to be used for "enhanced oil recovery" (pumping more oil out of the ground using captured carbon dioxide) — despite that being explicitly excluded in the federal budget"
Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states:
🚨"the government isn't being honest with the public and is betraying its commitments"

On today's AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU...
Julia Levin, associate director at Environmental Defense Canada: "All of this was ostensibly to strengthen industrial carbon pricing, but it's actually set to *weaken* pricing and undermine the entire regime".
That was Levin's comment with regards to catching this tweet by AB Premier Smith's chief of staff and his interpretation & takeaway (appearing different than Carney's announcement):

UNEP’s carbon gap report, link here
- we’re still heading towards 2.8C warming by 2100 on current climate policies
- if all unconditional, conditional and net zero pledges were implemented by all countries, we could limit warming to 1.9C
-
Current policies - the ones countries already have in place - would lead to even more warming, of around 2.8°C, #UNEP said.
The world has made some progress. A decade ago, when the #ParisAgreement was signed, the planet was on course for around a 4°C temperature rise.
But heat-trapping #CO2 #emissions continue to rise, as countries burn #coal, #oil & #gas to power their economies.
Global #GreenhouseGas #emissions increased by 2.3% in 2024, to 57.7 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent, UNEP said.
-
Yet govts' latest pledges to cut #emissions in future, if met, would see the world face 2.3-2.5°C of warming, #UNEP said.
That's around 0.3°C less warming than the UN's projection a year ago—indicating that new emissions-cutting plans announced this year by countries including top #CO2 emitter #China have failed to substantially close the gap.
China pledged in Sept to cut emissions by 7-10% from their peak by 2035. Analysts note China tends to set modest targets & exceed them.
-
"This will be difficult to reverse—requiring faster & bigger additional reductions in #GreenhouseGas #emissions to minimize overshoot," #UNEP said.
Lead report author Anne Olhoff said deep emissions cuts now could delay when the overshoot happens, "but we can no longer totally avoid it".
The 2015 #ParisAgreement commits countries to limit the global average temperature rise to 2°C above pre-industrial levels, & to aim for 1.5°C.

UNEP-Report: Zugesagte Klima-Gelder sind "völlig unzureichend"
Die Entwicklungsländer brauchen finanzielle Mittel, um sich an die verheerenden Folgen des Klimawandels anzupassen. Der Bedarf ist allerdings 12- bis 14-mal so hoch wie die zugesagten Investitionen der Industrieländer. Von Renate Ell.

Environmental damage in #Gaza Strip harming human #health, threatening long-term #food and #water security - new #UNEP report
- 61 million tonnes of debris
- Freshwater supplies severely limited and polluted
- About 78% of Gaza’s estimated 250,000 buildings damaged or destroyed.
- Loss of vegetation and compaction by military activity have affected soil structure -
Action on #methane mitigation in the oil and gas sector is an emergency brake for #globalwarming. This will help to reduce methane emissions globally by 30% by 2030. 🙏 to the #Climate and Clean Air Coalition at #UNEP for bringing us together & #UNSG to take up our results in the #SolutionsDialogue.

@DrewNaylor Three #WiiU titles that deserve more attention:
Chew Man Fu (Turbografx 16, Virtual Console) - a hidden gem, with unique gameplay.
Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush: a colourful classic.
Swords and Soldiers - also available on Switch. Also works very well with the stylus and gamepad.
All should be available on the eshop.
[Corrected Swords and Soldiers Switch availability. As redemption, I'll mention two other great games that are on both WiiU and Switch - #Unepic and #Ziggurat.]

Why doesn't #pampas&#selene for #msx work with #misterfpga , while the demo version does?
Fantastic game, but on CRT it becomes more beautiful. #ngof #indiegame #retrogaming #retrocomputing

Domanda a tutti coloro che conoscono la risposta. Qualcuno di voi è riuscito a far funzionare il video gioco Pampas & Selene per msx2 ? La rom sono riuscito a farla funzionare solo con open msx , su mister FPGA no.

#pampas&selene a really vast #rpg with many secrets.
Did you know that if you insert a second cartridge or #rom into your emulator, some modifications/advantages get activated?
Watch this short video.
Try loading the ROM of the game for #msx #thegoonies into slot B and see what happens.

RT by @EU_ENV: Despite covering only 1% of the Earth, cities consume 78% of the world’s energy. By embracing integrated planning and design, cities could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 25% by 2050.
On Tuesday’s #WorldCitiesDay, let’s encourage cities to step up #ClimateAction.
