#FossilFuels continue to dominate, locking #Australia into a model that resists change. With #RenewableEnergy sitting at only about 9%, #Australia remains, in effect, a petrostate, prioritising entrenched interests over any meaningful shift away from dependence on oil & gas. (2/2)

#Winter #SeaIce in the #Arctic Ties a Record Low
#Ice is vanishing worldwide as humans burn #fossilfuels for energy and emit #greenhousegas. But it’s disappearing particularly quickly in Arctic, which is warming four times as fast as rest of the planet.
Only 5% of the oldest, thickest sea ice recorded in the 1980s has survived to the present day. In the same amount of time, summertime sea ice cover has been halved, shrinking by some 12% per decade.

Winter Sea Ice in the Arctic Ties a Record Low

Ice plays a vital role in reflecting away planet-warming sunlight. The Arctic is warming much faster than most other parts of the world.

"It’s a reminder — one we didn’t really need — that while the abundance of oil and gas has produced amazing riches and unprecedented global economic growth and development for more than a century, it has come at an enormous price."

"It’s no coincidence that Trump’s two decapitation strikes — Venezuela and Iran — involve countries whose geopolitical significance results almost exclusively from their status as petro-states. Trump wanted to go back to the ways of the old economy, and he got exactly what he bargained for, whether he likes it or not."

"In the face of overwhelming evidence of catastrophic climate change fueled by manmade carbon emissions, Trump spent the first year of his second term decimating domestic wind and solar and doubling down on hydrocarbons, making the United State more — not less — dependent on global energy markets while exacerbating carbon emissions and delaying the inevitable energy transition."
