  1. Warning of record global temperatures as chance of very strong El Niño grows

    SSTs: "...In the latest prediction from the EC, more than half of their forecast models suggest a temperature of over 2.5C by the autumn.

    Anything over 2.5C would be a "historically strong event," said Johnson.

    BoM forecasts are also confidently showing the possibility of a very strong El Niño to develop later this year.

    Some forecast data is even suggesting the temperature could exceed 3C, surpassing the current known peak of 2.7C recorded in 1877...."

    (My note: NO mention that this is all driven by human injection of CO2 into the atmosphere)

  6. Day 63: Big setback as only ferry serving Wewak has broken engine. The pastor looking after me recommends an alternative route through the Sepik river.

    He leaves it late, but in the end he manages to find a place on the last truck of the day travelling to Angoram on the Sepik river. They leave me the privilege of travelling on the front of the truck where I have a comfy seat rather than the wooden benches all the other passengers use on the back. the scenery is very diverse from the ones I used to in Bougainville. there's no rainforest here, but rather grassland and bushes. it strikes me that even this very old, noisy and rusty truck is a luxury in comparison with the many who cannot afford it and walk over the main (and only) road. actually, we are lucky there's a road at all. This will stop at the Sepik river, as there's no bridge crossing over it.

    I get to Angoram after an 8-hour drive. I have no idea where to stay and find a place to sleep in the local church (along with rats & insects).

    I slow travel mainly to reduce my carbon footprint (by 10 times according to available estimates) but also to experience travel as most people in this world do.

  7. addendum for the “Carney is better than PP crowd”

    OK... Yes, Carney is better than PP.

    However, he is worse than Harper (according to multiple reports now)

    That means the current hierarchy is:

    Harper
    Carney
    Poillievre.

    The *only* option for progressive, environmentally conscious, and patriotic Canadians appears to be @avilewis

  8. One of the many things I love about Quebeccers, is they care about the environment and they also know a fraud when they see one.

    Mark Carney is a fraud on the environment.

    “Oui, Carney est pire qu’Harper en environment”

    I don't think I need to translate the headline. :)

  9. LA Times: Air conditioning battery program for renters could help cities manage heat waves

    "...NEW YORK — When a heat wave hits, millions of air conditioners switch on at once, straining the electric grid and driving up the risk of outages — and residents’ power bills. To ease that strain, power companies may ask customers to do something many probably won’t: Set the air conditioner a few degrees higher....Now, a renter-friendly pilot program in New York City is testing a different approach: plug-in batteries that can power air conditioners during peak demand, helping ease pressure on the grid at its most stressed moments while still keeping residents cool....Every Electric’s program works specifically for people with window AC units, who are typically renters. It reduces demand by using stored battery power. ..."

  11. "our energy systems are already massively in carbon debt. We cannot afford to borrow any more carbon from fossil reserves. To burn carbon now to build AGI on the vague hope that it may by some remote chance produce systems with more insight than we now have, at a time when our politicians are already failing to act on the very clear data being produced by their own scientists, it the purest folly"

  12. "we are at the end of days. Our planet — which is, as far as we know, the only planet anywhere in the universe to support intelligent life — is literally burning as I write this, and it is burning because we are burning it. Building huge data centres to pursue the egocentric fantasies of kleptocrat pirates only accelerates that process"

    SCMP: Southeast Asia warned of ‘Godzilla El Nino’ whiplash threatening drought, floods, haze

    Experts warn the heat could increase the risk of localised flooding, put pressure on drainage systems and threaten agricultural production

  18. Whee

    "...The climatic shift devastated crops nearly 150 years ago, raising the question of whether a similar disruption could threaten global food security yet again. The strongest El Niño on record from 1877 to 1878 fueled conditions that led to a global famine which killed more than 50 million people across India, China, Brazil and elsewhere. That was 3 to 4 percent of the estimated global population at the time, equal to at least 250 million people if it happened today.

    “It was arguably the worst environmental disaster to ever befall humanity,” researchers have written about the event...."

  22. "...A record-warm winter followed by a blistering March heatwave, both fuelled by heat-trapping pollution, has decimated the western snowpack. According to Climate Central, the total water stored in the western snowpack this winter hit its lowest level on record right when it should have been hitting its annual peak.

    “In March the spigot shut off and it shut off across the entire western US,” Painter says. “Loss of snowpack like we’ve never seen. It’s not in the record at all. So this is unprecedented.”..."
