Is she too radical? - Bavaria: climate activist not allowed to become a teacher

In times of teacher shortages, Germany is also desperately looking for staff. This makes a decision in Bavaria all the more astonishing: according to ...

I've never been more afraid of some lines.

Recordtemperatuur van 2023 herhaalt zich in 2024, KNMI kleurt jaar donkerrood

De hoge gemiddelde temperatuur komt wellicht als een verrassing na de vrij kille zomer van 2024, maar de rest van het jaar was juist uitzonderlijk warm.

This study shows that the only way to bring down emissions is by a carbon tax!

The new research is “evidence that yes, with the data we have available, emission pricing is resulting in emissions reductions,” she told CBC. “And we also now have evidence that the other policies introduced by governments to help reduce emissions are also resulting in emissions reductions.”

Pricing Pollution the ‘Key Ingredient’ in Successful Climate Action, Global Study Finds

The most successful efforts to fight climate change are the ones that put a price on climate pollution, concludes a new study published Thursday in the journal Science.

oh my… 😳

„The [AMOC] collapse time is estimated between 2037-2064 (10-90% CI) with a mean of 2050 and the probability of an AMOC collapse before the year 2050 is estimated to be 59 ± 17%“

Even if it was „only“ 5% probable it would mean we need to do everything to prevent it. With these probability percentages and near-present possible timeframes… where are we heading?

Yesterday, @Nathanpboston, members of Beyond Methane RVA, and I were panelists on Electrify Now talking about gas leaks throughout the natural gas value chain, energy justice, gas utilities financial woes, and Richmond's newly created Public Utilities Commission. Check it out!

Gas System Leaks - From The Well To Your Home

YouTube

I want to thank the Richmond Times Dispatch for publishing my latest piece: "In Richmond, leaky gas pipes could spark a fiscal meltdown"

In it, you'll learn why your gas bills have been increasing, how DPU has been handling gas leaks, that mega corporations might be subsidized by residents in Richmond, and how a public utilities commission could help.

Boosts appreciated.

In Richmond, leaky gas pipes could spark a fiscal meltdown

Richmond's Department of Public Utilities (DPU) maintains a network of severely leaking gas pipes that permeate neighborhoods throughout the city. Some pipes are 100 years old. DPU likewise manages utility

@davidho #Telsa's profits nearly exclusively from selling #carbonoffsets are not actually offsetting carbon emissions?!

The world’s biggest carbon capture facility in #Texas.

I "don't even suspect anything" but what it looks like to me:

It's a "solution" that pays the polluter to clean their pollution and gives license to continue to pollute for free with a clean conscience.

The world’s biggest carbon capture facility is being built in Texas. Will it work?

The plant will inject 500,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the ground each year – but is it just greenwashing from big oil?
