SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: Global Warming Will Top 1.5-Degree Limit, U.N. Reports
Source: PBS News Hour
In a first-of-its-kind report issued Wednesday, the United Nations has said that Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst of global warming's harms. Now, the world must figure out how to get temperatures below the danger zone and back to safety, officials warn. Earth is soon going to exceed the safe temperature threshold agreed upon by the world in the 2015 Paris climate agreement because of warming from the burning of coal, oil,...

'our central finding is that the climate impact of subsea data transmission is significantly lower than previously assumed, which can help recalibrate how ICT-sector emissions are calculated as global network traffic accelerates. Subsea cables contrast sharply with mobile- and satellite-based systems, whose emissions are substantially higher'

This is as close as we plan to get this year to “Car Week” events. Did errands in Monterey today, ready to stay out of all high traffic areas through Aug 16. How we feel about these 10 days of #car events, which reportedly bring 100,000+ visitors to Monterey County: https://bikemonterey.org/reflecting-on-monterey-car-week.html.
With friends in #Spokane and elsewhere impacted by #wildfires, our dedication to to doing what we can to help people reduce #CarbonEmissions of #transportation choices continues! #ActOnClimate

Thinking about trading your car in for an #EV? Here’s a compelling new reason to do it now
Research shows the #carbonEmissions benefits are far greater than you might imagine^^Only 58 % reduction of carbon emissions over 16 years. Better to have no car and 100% reduction ...

And, which countries/regions are the world’s highest emitters #CarbonEmissions? Reported 2022, but the emission numbers are 🤯 -- which contribute to #ExtremeWeather #wildfires
"Once heat trapping gases get into the atmosphere, the effects are global. Trapping the sun’s energy doesn’t stop at national borders."
"Carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for as much as 200 years or longer. So historic emissions matter."

I will likely never own or drive a fossil-fueled car. Why? Not only cars are money-wasting machines and a pain in the ass to park, but also the private ownership of fossil-fueled cars is the biggest attributable source of carbon emissions.
"Guardian analysis found that the eight listed oil producers made almost $93bn (£69bn) in the three months to the end of June – the first full financial quarter after the US-Israeli war on Iran triggered a surge in global oil prices to highs above $126 a barrel.
The companies have used the biggest disruption of fossil fuel supplies in the market’s history to almost double their combined profits from just under $50bn in the same period last year, with campaigners warning that millions of households are left paying the price in higher bills and climate chaos.
The data suggests the eight oil companies – Aramco, BP, Shell, Equinor, TotalEnergies, Eni, Chevron and ExxonMobil – made more than $700,000 of profit every minute over the spring quarter.
While their market valuations were swelling by about $600bn to above $3tn, temperatures built towards a run of deadly heatwaves, all made more likely and more severe by burning fossil fuels.
Carbon emissions from the world’s biggest fossil fuel firms were directly linked to fatal spells of hot weather for the first time by scientific analysis published last September. It found the emissions from any one of the 14 biggest companies were each enough to cause more than 50 heatwaves that would otherwise have been virtually impossible."

Metal mining greatly increases the surface area of sulfide minerals that are exposed to weathering (mine surfaces and waste from crushed ore), and weathering of those minerals produces sulfuric acid. A new study estimates that the long-term carbon footprint of neutralizing acid mine drainage will be many times higher than that of the mining itself.

Airline emissions bills and carbon credits for investment dominate a revamp of the EU’s labyrinthine emissions scheme.
International flights arriving in Europe from destinations within 5000 km will be required to pay for their CO2 emissions from 2029 as part of a major overhaul of the EU’s emissions trading system announced on Friday.

“You can have a healthy fossil-fuel balance sheet, or a relatively healthy planet”*…
The first two installments of what will be an on-going series from ProPublica and Drilled, covering fossil fuel companies in the 1990s who, even as they denied the reality of climate change, were quietly funding research that favored climate fixes that would protect their businesses…
An investigation by ProPublica and Drilled has found that fossil fuel companies have been funding climate research at prestigious U.S. universities for more than 30 years. Their support has helped amplify the work of scientists who promote the idea that we can stop the climate crisis without breaking our dependence on oil, gas, and coal.
The research produced by those schools in turn shaped global climate models, as well as the policy and technology solutions adopted by governments around the world.
Ultimately, it fostered a misperception that climate change could be solved without dramatically curtailing fossil fuels — a notion that has delayed emissions cuts by decades.
Corporate funders sponsored entire centers, paid the salaries of researchers, kept offices on campus and in some cases had veto power over projects.
Companies maintain they are supporting innovation and needed science. Universities say that with safeguards, sponsorship enhances research programs while preserving academic independence.
Still, the impact of funding constitutes a pattern that Benjamin Franta, an associate professor of climate litigation at University of Oxford, called the “colonization of academia.”…
“Why Carbon Capture Can’t Conceivably Solve Climate Change“- For decades, oil companies have funded universities’ research into climate change “solutions” that would not require the public to stop using oil and gas. Carbon capture is one of their favored ideas. One snag: It won’t fix the climate crisis. From Katie Worth and Lucas Waldron.
“How Oil Execs Shaped A Landmark Climate Study“- BP created an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” shaped climate discourse for a generation. From Maddie Stone.
As the first piece concludes…
Climate experts know about the costs, technical troubles, and failures of CCS [Carbon Capture and Sequestration] test projects.
Yet many of them have continued to boost the technology, even as they have downplayed solutions showing greater progress.
For example, the same modelers who overestimated the potential of geological carbon storage repeatedly underestimated solar power — one of the energy technologies that would allow more oil to remain in the ground.
A distressing– but critically important– read. How the fossil fuel industry turned the plan to solve climate change into a plan to save itself: “Carbon Captured,” from @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social.
And as a reminder that, while climate change is certainly reason enough, it’s by no means the only reason to care: “Five Americans die every hour from toxic vehicle emissions, study finds.”

As we face facts, we might give ourselves a short break on this, the anniversary of “Raspberry Beret,” by Prince & The Revolution, hitting #1 on the charts in 1985.
Here is the official video (now in 4K). Directed by his Purple Majesty himself, it features graphics and animation from Drew Takahashi, George Evelyn, and the crew at Colossal Pictures.

An article appeared in The Guardian on Thursday, December 11th, entitled “Economic growth no longer linked to carbon emissions in most of the world, study finds”But that headline is misleading and the study overclaims too.

It’s no surprise that big #polluting companies are not happy about annual #CarbonTax increases. But it is #unfair that #BritishColumbians must pay the full carbon tax when the #OilAndGas industry, whose production is responsible for more than one-quarter of #BritishColumbia #CarbonEmissions, gets a carbon #TaxBreak.
The new system will also have a negative impact on B.C.’s carbon #TaxRevenues. In 2024-25, carbon tax revenues will be about $500 million lower than they would have been under the old system. This #RevenueLoss means fewer dollars to pay for #ClimateAction.
These changes point to a #BCgovernment that is far too cosy with the oil and gas #industry. And they make no sense given the urgency of acting on #ClimateChange. #Disasters in 2021 alone caused between $11 billion and $16 billion in damage to the #BCeconomy.
If B.C. really wants to be a #climate leader, the government must stop pandering to lobbying by the oil and gas industry that is causing climate change and act in the interests of all British Columbians

Our favorite sort of visitors are people who (if able) bike, walk, skate, scoot, or use public transportation. We met two such #Monterey County visitors on 10 Feb 2024: this couple from #Fresno who'd rented #bicycles to enjoy #cycling along the #PacificGrove shoreline and elsewhere. They were grooving on the sunshine after all the recent rains!
