More renewables ≠ less fossil fuels. A new study reveals the energy transition isn’t as simple as we thought.

@kcarruthers So another consequence of the global warming of our oceans toxic fossil fuel pollution: Algal pollution.

That's on top of floods, droughts, heatwaves, bushfires, cyclones, and hurricanes.

"On March 25, with the help of Professor Murray, authorities confirmed the algal bloom was Karenia mikimotoi.

"The blame was placed on an “ongoing marine heatwave” which had seen water temperatures 2.5 degrees Celsius warmer than usual.

"At the time, EPA principal marine scientist Sam Gaylard said weather conditions had been “just right” for a bloom, and the hope was for a “big cold front to come through” and disperse it.

"The cold front never arrived.
...
"Globally, there’s an increase in the intensity and frequency of harmful algal blooms around the world over the last 20 years and we’ve often thought down on the southern end of Australia we’re immune... from those impacts but definitely we’re seeing large climatic driven shifts in our environmental conditions."

“If the pipeline is too expensive to use, oil companies could look to other pipeline systems to export crude. However, if tolls are too low, that could impact the profitability of the Crown corporation and the eventual multibillion-dollar amount the federal government could collect by selling the entire Trans Mountain system.”

More corporate welfare.

If this damn industry is so beneficial to Canada (Danielle) then why do we have to keep subsidizing?

"Sable Offshore flows crude oil through pipelines responsible for 2015 Refugio spill"
Adding insult to injury, they announced it on the 10-year anniversary of the spill.

In 5 years the UK could raise £115bn with a windfall levy on the excess profits of fossil fuel producers; redirecting the current subsidies to fossil fuels; taxing luxury travel such as private jets & super-yachts; & imposing a small tax on the super-wealthy.

Re #auspol decision on Woodside’s plan to extend its #gas processing plant in WA’s remote north-west out to 2070 to extract gas from the Browse gas field underneath Scott Reef. The WA Environment Protection Authority last year described the proposal as “unacceptable”. Watt was in Perth this week to speak with mining industry representatives & other stakeholders (who?). It seems this did not include any of the concerned Traditional Owners. Watt refused to meet environmental groups based on EPBC rules for reconsideration. “Australia environment laws are broken, but a rapid-speed approval by Minister Watt indicates he has no intention of fixing them. The coal & gas industry must be rubbing their hands together.”

Völlig bekloppt:
Bundeswirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche (CDU) zeigte sich am Rande eines Treffens der EU-Wettbewerbsminister in Brüssel offen für eine Förderung der Forschung an sogenannten kleinen modularen Kernreaktoren (SMR) aus dem EU-Haushalt. Deutschland hatte dies bislang abgelehnt.
