  1. Haven't been a fan of, to say the least, most of PM #MarkCarney 's moves inre #ClimateChange but very happy with this one. #EVs don't solve our transportation/climate challenges but they are a critically important short to medium term #EmissionReduction solution. #cdnpoli www.npr.org/2026/01/16/n...

    Canada agrees to cut tariff on...

    On solar power: "People would do that because they are economically driven that way."
    "Is it enough? No."
    (We also need #EmissionReduction and #srm )

    On #geoengineering: "Relative risk evaluation."
    "We need to get started and then improve the approach over time. It's well less risky then going forward without doing that."

  3. #European court rules Human Rights violated by #ClimateInaction - #BBC News -

    A group of older Swiss women have won the first ever climate case victory in the #EuropeanCourtOfHumanrRghts

    The women, mostly in their 70s, said that their age and gender made them particularly vulnerable to the effects of #heatwaves linked to #ClimateChange.

    The court said #Switzerland's efforts to meet its #EmissionReduction targets had been woefully inadequate.

  4. Dutch greenhouse gas #emissions down by 6% last year, to 34% below their 1990 level!
    Emissions from electricity generation down 22% year-on-year thanks to more renewable, less fossil electricity.
    Transport emissions up by 9% due to growth in aviation. cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2024/11/gree

  5. Well, that is surprising! Dutch candidate to become EU Climate Commissioner, not known for his firm climate standpoints so far, just committed to a 90%(!) emission reduction target for 2040 in his hearing in the European Parliament. Would be a big step following the -57% target for 2030.

  6. We spend a lot of time covering electric vehicles - but honestly, is THIS the solution to traffic and pollution woes?

    No, Not in the slightest.

  7. While the European Commission thought 75-80% emission reduction by 2040 is enough (after -57% by 2030), its scientific advisory board now says it should be 90-95%. Decisions expected in the first quarter of 2024, I think.

  8. I like steam trains, but I look forward to the time when petrol vehicles are as rare as these guys.🚂

  9. "Legacy auto faces disaster in #China with unsellable cars as pollution crunch looms"
    Hat das jemand auf dem Schirm? Is' da was dran?

    Wenn ich den Artikel so lese (und wenn's stimmt), würde ich sagen: die Chinesen haben die deutsche Automobilindustrie (und die japanische) bei den Eiern!
    "Zwei auf einen Streich" sozusagen.

  10. Listening to Microbiologist, he wants MaC - Microbiome as Code
    Not there yet by far, but the vision is amazing, this guy is researching how to reduce methane emissions from cows - while not reducing milk production.

    What a world!
