THIS IS A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT:
The EU now generates more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels.

Bad news for climate. Based on daily data, August's average of atmospheric CO₂ concentration was ~423.0 ppm, that's around 3.3 ppm higher than last year: another big jump!
Corrected for the seasonal effect, we're now well above 425 ppm.

Well, I am done for today. Catch everyone tomorrow ✌️
"People feel longing, guilt and worry toward the environment, with virtually no mention of hope, excitement or empowerment. Is it possible to reduce paralysis and match love for nature with hope?"

Yes heat pumps work in very old buildings.
Here's an 11th century Norman church in Lympne, Kent that has been fitted with a heat pump.
My own 1880 Victorian house had a heat pump fitted in 2019 and it works very well.

How do the G20 generate electricity?
Nice visualisation from Visual Capitalist using Ember data.
I maintain an Android app that doesn't get any new features. I still have to keep upgrading it once in a while. The amount of deprecations I have to deal with is crazy. It takes a day each time I touch the app to just get it working with the latest Android Studio. I am not even fixing any bugs or adding features. All this running just to stay in the same place.
Now ask me if I will consider using cloud platform services from the same company that's responsible for Android.
Remember:
1. Our oceans are dying.
2. Forests are vanishing rapidly.
3. Fertile soil is diminishing.
4. Megafauna face extinction.
5. Insect populations are plummeting.
6. Plastic is infiltrating our bloodstreams.
Yet, none of this makes front-page news.
