At the same time what's up with the UK?

"the share of people concerned about climate change has fallen over the past year, dipping from 68% to 60%.

Support for the UK’s target to hit net zero emissions by 2050 fell even further, plunging from 62% to 46%."

All this while the southern Europe fries under scorching heat wave and forest fires.

The rapid expansion of the AI industry, led by Nvidia, is fueling concerns over soaring energy consumption and carbon emissions, threatening global climate targets as chip production and data center power usage surge.

Worth a read of the whole article.

“If Canada is going to meet its #ClimateTargets, virtually everything will need to be #electrified. Gas guzzlers swapped for #ElectricVehicles and #PublicTransportation; #HeatPumps put in place of gas furnaces; and renewable energy moving to centre stage as coal, oil and gas power plants are phased out.” https://bird.makeup/users/jvipondmd/statuses/1782774802731974888

What does #Sunak’s plan for new #GasPlants mean for #UK #ClimateTargets?

Critics of changes to the #ElectricityMarket say they over-rely on #FossilFuels and won’t cut #CO2emissions quickly enough

"Revealed: the 1,200 big #methane #CH4 leaks from waste dumps trashing the #planet - The huge leaks of the potent #GreenhouseGas #GHG will doom climate targets, experts say, but stemming them would rapidly reduce #GlobalHeating

There have been more than 1,000 huge leaks of the potent greenhouse gas methane from #landfill #waste #dumps since 2019, the #Guardian can reveal.

Analysis of global satellite data from around the world shows the populous nations of south #Asia are a hotspot for these super-emitter events, as well as #Argentina and #Spain, developed countries where proper waste management should prevent leaks.

#Landfills emit methane when organic waste such as food scraps, wood, card, paper and garden waste decompose in the absence of oxygen. Methane, also called #NaturalGas, traps 86 times more heat in the atmosphere than #CarbonDioxide #CO2 over 20 years, making it a critical target for #climate action. Scientists have said #emissions from unmanaged landfills could double by 2050 as urban populations grow, blowing the chance of avoiding #ClimateCatastrophe"

A total of 1,256 methane super-emitter events occurred between January 2019 and June 2023, according to the new data. #Pakistan, #India and #Bangladesh lead the list of nations with the most large leaks, followed by #Argentina, #Uzbekistan and Spain.

Does this mean that #Brimbank City Council has shown support for the 3rd runway, on the proviso that residents be consulted and fairly compensated?
What does that mean for health impacts not associated with increased noise levels?
What does that mean for our #climatetargets and the #climatecrisis we are all in?
What does that mean for the hundreds of wild #animals and #biodiversity, that will be drastically impacted by the 3rd runway?

Council have been a big support of our campaign and I hope they continue to be. I also hope we can get some context and clarification on this motion.
