New study identifies sequence of critical thresholds for Antarctic ice basins. With today’s warming, about 40% of the ice stored in West Antarctica may already be committed to long-term loss, while parts of East Antarctica could cross thresholds at moderate levels of warming between 2 to 3°C. bocvip.com/1207073/new-study-i #CLIMATE

Trump would actually like if the world ends with him. That’s how toxic uncontrolled is.

"The Trump administration hates science and science-based policies in general; look at its war on vaccines, which will end up causing an enormous number of deaths. Its assault on universities threatens the best scientific research centers in the world..in the case of energy, its destructive policy largely reflects the corrupting influence of big money.”

Aboriginals struggle to pay electricity bills for cooling during heatwaves.

Climate Crisis, yes, but sounds more like social justice crisis to me: it’s not like Australia lacks solar power potential, especially when it’s hot!

Extreme rainfall is worsening algal blooms along South Korea’s coast. Climate change is expected to intensify rainfall in many regions, including parts of East Asia, heightening the risk of recurring algal blooms in the future. bocvip.com/1207022/extreme-rai #CLIMATE

Gli obiettivi non sono abbastanza ambiziosi e vincolanti. Il mio governo, che si dimostra grande amico della Commissione quando si tratta di spendere in armi, non fa nulla per ridurre le emissioni, anzi peggiora le condizioni dell'Italia, i cittadini coontinuano a guidare auto con motore termico e riscaldarsi con il gas, perché nessuno li aiuta a cambiare, non ci sono infrastrutture, i politici fingono che le cose vadano bene. Subiamo disastri climatici uno dietro l'altro, siamo poveri e spaventati. Dovete obbligare i governi a credere al cambiamento climatico e ad agire di conseguenza, e se non lo fanno dovete parlare chiaro, non essere sempre accomodanti e sorridenti con i negazionisti perché volete i loro voti per comprare più armi e militarizzare le frontiere. I libri di storia, se mai ne verranno scritti ancora tra cento anni, diranno cose terribili su questa classe politica.
Ho paura che per voi flessibilità ed efficienza si traducano in opacità e scarsa efficacia. Per venire incontro alle aziende, che hanno fatto scelte scellerate negli anni e ora spargono lacrime di coccodrilli (senza offesa per i coccodrilli), si fanno scelte pavide e poco lungimiranti. I crediti rischiano di essere l'ennesima foglia di fico per le aziende che non vogliono fare scelte coraggiose, e offendono e sviliscono chi invece aveva deciso di fare quelle scelte coraggiose e necessarie.
