The nuclear energy numbers racket. It's not the answer

The climate crisis is real, but nuclear energy will continue to be the most expensive and slowest option to reach net-zero emissions, no matter how you cook the numbers.

2023 was a year of devastation. Declared as the hottest year ever recorded by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, we have experienced unforeseen climate emergencies around the globe that have taken thousands of lives and caused billions of dollars in infrastructure and economic damage.

#ClimateChange #quakes #winter

A new study has identified a potentially growing natural hazard in the north: frostquakes. With climate change contributing to many observed changes in weather extremes, such as heavy precipitation and cold waves, these seismic events could become more common. Researchers were surprised by the role of wetlands and drainage channels in irrigated wetlands in origin of frostquakes.

This is not good news for us.

A massive new review of ancient atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels and corresponding temperatures lays out a daunting picture of where the Earth's climate may be headed.

And that's why we are doomed

https://heated.world/p/its-official-cop28-has-more-fossil

It’s official: COP28 has more fossil fuel lobbyists than ever

There are 2,456 fossil fuel interests at this year's U.N. climate summit, nearly four times more than any past year, according to a new analysis.

So Danielle Smith, the Premier of Alberta, who is the epitome of the Dunning Krueger effect, is spending vast sums of Alberta's tax dollars taking 100 oil and gas cronies to COP28 to try and derail any progress on #climatechange.

Her arrival did not go unnoticed

COP has now completely sold out to #fossilFuel interests Do not expect any help in fighting climate change from these meetings

Fossil fuel lobbyists pour into COP28

The world's most important climate conference is a veritable who's who of polluter-funded climate delay.

The system works by harnessing wind to propel ‘wings’ along a lightweight track.

AirLoom cited levelised cost of energy as low as $0.013/kWh and site Capex of around $0.21/W – “eg., under $6m for a 20MW wind farm”. It reckons the latter is about a quarter of the cost of using current technology.

More facts, less fearmongering about clean electricity

Alberta’s claims of a scary future under Ottawa’s proposed clean electricity regulations are more fiction than fact — the really scary story would be further delay

The most comprehensive effort yet to predict how global warming will affect the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has found there is little humanity can do to stop its ice shelves from melting.

Comprehensive study of West Antarctic Ice Sheet finds collapse may be unavoidable
The study is the first attempt to model the uncertain atmosphere and ocean processes that could doom the sheet's ice shelves, leading to considerable sea level rise.
