Bosnie: le chef déchu de l'entité serbe remplacé par une présidente par intérim
 Après quasiment deux décennies aux manettes de l'entité serbe de Bosnie, Milorad Dodik a été remplacé, samedi 18 octobre, par une présidente par intérim, Ana Trisic Babic, une proche de ce puissant dirigeant, déchu pour avoir défié la plus haute autorité politique de la République serbe de Bosnie.

Climate whiplash by 2064: Study projects extreme swings in rainfall and drought for Asia
A climate study led by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), in collaboration with an international research team, reveals that under a high-emission scenario, the Northern Hemisphere summer monsoons region will undergo extreme weather events starting in 2064. Asia and broader tropical regions will face frequent "subseasonal whiplash" events, characterized by extreme downpours and dry spells alternating every 30 to 90 days which trigger climate disruptions with catastrophi…

Crop droughts set to worsen—even as rainfall increases
Europe and western North America will experience more frequent and severe crop droughts as Earth warms, even in places where yearly rainfall increases.

The most prominent American voice at the COP Climate Summit in Belém was that of the California governor, Gavin Newsom.
During the five days he spent in Brazil, Newsom described Donald Trump as an “invasive species”
and condemned his rollback of policies aimed at reducing emissions and expanding renewable energy.
Newsom, long considered a presidential hopeful, argued that,
as the US retreated, California would step up in its place as a
“stable, reliable” climat…

This article just cited the Finnish Michaux study. There are others. The whole "industrial renewable energy capture systems" wager has inadequate foundations, which is why the only way is to use much less energy. Hence #degrowth See my article and linked report for the UK case.

Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil?
A key issue for the accomplishment of renewables is power storage because of the impact of wind and solar intermittency, both of which are highly intermittent. Most studies assume gas will be the buffer for intermittency. Other than using fossil fuel such as gas as a buffer, an adequate power storage system to handle intermittency will require 30 times more material than what electric vehicles require with current plans, meaning the scope is much larger than the current paradigm allows.

Energy Department Reorganization Reflects Shift Away From Renewable Energy
The reorganization reflects the ongoing shift in the federal government’s energy priorities: less renewable energy, more fossil fuels.

Städte müssen bis Sommer liefern: Kommunen kommen bei Wärmeplanung in die Gänge
Angesichts der geplanten Abkehr vom russischen Gas muss das deutsche Wärmenetz neu gedacht werden. Die Ampel verlangt Städten und Kommunen eine Wärmeplanung ab. Das Planungstempo nimmt zuletzt deutlich zu. Vor allem die Städte haben allerdings nicht mehr viel Zeit.

Oman just hit a major renewable energy milestone.
Masdar's Ibri III project combines a 500MW solar plant with a 100MWh battery system—the country's first large-scale solar-plus-storage facility. It'll power 33,000 homes and cut CO2 emissions by over 500,000 tonnes yearly, pushing Oman closer to its 30% renewable electricity target by 2030.
