Four wealthy nations
—the United States, Canada, Norway, and Australia
—account for the majority of planned oil and gas expansion over the next decade,
according to new data published by Oil Change Internationalon Monday, the first day of the Bonn Climate Change Conference in Germany.

"This is not just hypocrisy," said one climate campaigner. "It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis."

@… Two or three years ago, an old friend was in town visiting. We had lunch and discussed, among other things, our biggest fears. She said fascism, followed by climate change. I said climate change, followed by fascism. I guess she won, at least in the short term. And we agreed that the two reinforce each other.

Detection, attribution, and modeling of climate change: key open issues
The CMIP global climate models (GCMs) assess that nearly 100% of global surface warming observed between 1850-1900 and 2011-2020 is attributable to anthropogenic drivers like greenhouse gas emissions. These models also generate future climate projections based on shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), aiding in risk assessment and the development of costly Net-Zero climate mitigation strategies. Yet, the CMIP GCMs face significant scientific challenges in attributing and modeling climate change,…

New oil and gas fields incompatible with Paris climate goals
Opening any new North Sea oil and gas fields is incompatible with achieving the Paris Climate Agreement goals of limiting warming to 1.5°C or holding warming to “well below 2°C” relative to preindustrial levels, finds a new report published by UCL academics.
