A Monthly Climate and Energy Digest
I went to the competition at substack and set up a monthly climate and energy news and background digest. Covering a broad spectrum of earth system, emissions, climate science, politics and economy (as far as it is climate related), you get all infos of a month in one place. So it's kind of a "long read", with this time 61 hyperlinks a somewhat less topics. Have a look at it: February 2026 - monthly climate & energy digest If you…

Ein Bundestagsgutachten sieht Probleme bei der steuerlichen Begünstigung von Dienstwagen. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen will ein Grünenabgeordneter in Brüssel prüfen lassen, ob die Regelung gegen EU-Recht verstößt.
Five papers about global warming rate doubling
Development of the 10-year-averaged global warming rate. After a plateau of very linear warming between about 1980 and 2015, the rate significantly increased. Red: continuous fit with uncertainty rangeBlue: stepwise linear fit with uncertainty range(Source) Research results emerging since a couple of years show an almost doubling of global warming rate. The five most important sources to support this claim are:
Coalitions are always weaker
Source: Wikipedia We are currently seeing the peculiar fact that although the European part of NATO is superior to Russia in terms of defence spending, total number of soldiers, tanks and aircraft, experts still consider it too weak to fend off a Russian attack, for example in the Baltic states. The European forces in the Baltics are astonishingly, almost ridiculously small in number: a few thousand men - and that is already seen as the…

Warming Rate Jump to 0,33 K/decade
This is what my go-to climate blogger tamino found as expectancy value for the next ten years or so, with an uncertainty of ± 0,08 K/decade. What this means is: there is an unsettlingly high probability of warming having become considerably faster and us having much less time to act on it. Much less: the warming rate until about 2015 was only around 0,18 K/decade! All IPCC recommendations and emission budgets are based on the latter.

Global Warming Acceleration: What’s Nibbling the Clouds Away
2023 was a record year and 2024 will top it. That would be two years in a row of more than 1.5°C warming compared to the pre-industrial baseline. The acceleration of global warming over the last decade or so, which has been noted here several times, is becoming more apparent. The statistician's blog Tamino has documented the faster pace after removing solar, volcanic and El Niño influences.

Social media has an impact on the mood of the country, the issues discussed and how they are discussed, the mental health of users, the spread of true and false information, and election results. It can reinforce polarisation and 'us versus them' attitudes by drawing attention to posts that express fear, dislike or aggression.
