@cdarwin@c.imGlobal climate negotiations ended on Saturday in Brazil
with a watered-down resolution that makes no mention of fossil fuels, the main driver of global warming.
The final statement included plenty of warnings on the cost of inaction
but few provisions for how the world might address dangerously rising global temperatures head-on.
A marathon series of frenetic Friday night meetings ultimately salvaged the talks in Belém, on the edge of the Amazon rainforest.

@PaulWermer@sfba.socialNot the first thought that comes to mind, but this is an #environmental problem, not just about skiing or a local economy:
"Ropes once used to mark out the piste hang in tatters and bits of plastic are falling off a pylon. The old sheds at each end of the ski lifts often still contain transformers, asbestos, motor oils and greases. Over time, these substances seep into the soil and…

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot"Despite their promises, governments’ new emission-cutting plans submitted for the Cop30 climate talks taking place in Brazil have done little to avert dangerous global heating for the fourth consecutive year, according to the Climate Action Tracker update.
The world is now anticipated to heat up by 2.6C above preindustrial times by the end of the century"

@PaulWermer@sfba.socialAs we rapidly push earth's systems away from a quasi-equilibrium state by simply adding more carbon dioxide, more methane, more nitrous oxide to the atmosphere, we start finding previously unrecognized interactions affecting things like the carbon sinks.
As a scientist, I am thrilled at the exiting research that is arising from these new observations.
As a person, I am terrified.

@paulwermer@sfba.socialYet one more adverse impact of climate change:
"Greater warmth enables pests to develop faster, produce more generations each year and attack crops for longer as winters shorten. Rising temperatures are also helping pests invade places further from the equator and on higher ground that were previously too cold"
In hindsight, not surprising - but this is the first time I have seen this impact publicly discussed.

@cdarwin@c.imTrump announced on Wednesday that he is repealing the Biden-era federal fuel economy standards,
significantly weakening fuel efficiency requirements for tens of millions of new gasoline-powered cars and light trucks.
It marks the US president’s latest effort to dismantle pollution regulations and federal support for cleaner-running vehicles and renewable energy.
Burning gasoline is a significant contributor to global heating and transportation is the largest source of greenho…
