“Eine Untersuchung zu den Folgen des IRA im vergangenen Jahr hat gezeigt, dass bisher mehr als die Hälfte aller Projekte, zwei Drittel aller Jobs und über 80 Prozent der Fördergelder an Wahlbezirke gingen, die durch Republikaner im Kongress vertreten sind.”
Und das hat den Democraten überhaupt nicht geholfen!
Environment Minister Murray Watt faces this week's deadline on Woodside gas extension to 2070. Greens leader Larissa Waters calls it a "mega carbon bomb" - the first major climate test for re-elected Albanese government. #ClimatePolicy #Australia https://bit.ly/3HatCJj

The UK-EU “common understanding” has been published!
It gives the green light to start negotiations, to draft legal agreements on a list of topics.
On the Climate and Energy file, I note that the EU and UK will link their electricity markets and greenhouse gas emissions trading systems.

⚠️ Breakthrough & trade-off: ESA’s Biomass satellite to revolutionize global forest carbon measurement 🌍🔋
🎯 P-band radar penetrates canopies to directly ‘weigh’ trunks and large branches
🚫 Power down zones over North America & Europe—must avoid jamming reconnaissance satellites
⏳ Five-year mission covering remote, data-poor forests like the Amazon
📊 Actionable insights for policymakers on carbon stocks, deforestation, and climate resilience
Balancing cutting-edge science with geopolitical constraints—how should we harness this data to drive real change?

Geoengineering is at state of its development where large-scale deployment, even for testing purposes, would be incredibly reckless. The possibility of perturbing the climate in ways that cannot be predicted, and whose environmental effects are fully unknown, is both irresponsible and unethical.
The UK Government should not permit this or any similar activity: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/block-sunlight-british-scientists-global-warming-b2740295.html
Further, the international community should broadly prohibit geoengineering as a climate policy option: https://www.solargeoeng.org/non-use-agreement/open-letter/
