This is our weather on fossil fuels: Two weeks update 10.-24. April 2025
Rich countries are dragging their feet on producing new plans to combat the climate crisis, thereby putting the poor into greater danger.
All governments are supposed to publish new plans this year on cutting greenhouse gas emissions, but so far only a small majority have done so, and some of the plans submitted have been inadequate to the scale of action needed.

#Cryosphere meltdown will impact Arctic marine carbon cycles and ecosystems, new study warns
A new study led by Jochen Knies from the iC3 Polar Research Hub has found worrying signs that climate change may be undermining the capacity of #Arctic fjords to serve as effective #carbonSinks. The findings suggest that the capacity of polar oceans to remove carbon from the atmosphere may be reduced as the world continues to heat up.

EurekAlert!‘Cryosphere meltdown’ will impact Arctic marine carbon cycles and ecosystems, new study warnsA new study has found worrying signs that climate change may be undermining the capacity of Arctic fjords to serve as effective carbon sinks.

Carbon majors and the scientific case for climate liability
Will it ever be possible to sue anyone for damaging the climate? Twenty years after this question was first posed, we argue that the scientific case for climate liability is closed.
Here we detail the scientific and legal implications of an ‘end-to-end’ attribution that links fossil fuel producers to specific damages from warming. Using scope 1 and 3 emissions data from major fossil fuel companies, peer-reviewed attribution methods and advances in empirical climate economics, we illustrate the trillions in economic losses attributable to the extreme heat caused by emissions from individual companies. Emissions linked to Chevron, the highest-emitting investor-owned company in our data, for example, very likely caused between US$791 billion and $3.6 trillion in heat-related losses over the period 1991–2020, disproportionately harming the tropical regions least culpable for warming. More broadly, we outline a transparent, reproducible and flexible framework that formalizes how end-to-end attribution could inform litigation by assessing whose emissions are responsible and for which harms. Drawing quantitative linkages between individual emitters and particularized harms is now feasible, making science no longer an obstacle to the justiciability of climate liability claims.

"Great information on aerosol-cloud interactions [...]and charge separation in storm systems."
(For the record: Yes, less aerosol means less clouds, affecting the albedo, but NO, we can't put back the sulfur in the ship fuel, and yes that crap has detrimental health and environmental effects.)
Hello fediverse solarpunks! We’re Solarpunk Presents Podcast, a podcast run on a shoestring budget by two lady solarpunks, one in Canada (@arielkroon) and one in Germany (@xtinadr@wandering.shop). We’re not great with technology, but we happen to both be PhDs from the opposite sides of the spectrum between STEM and Humanities/the Arts, and we’re united in our working towards solarpunk futures.
Our podcast is an interview-style podcast where we talk to guests and each other about various aspects of solarpunk, renewable energies, political action, and more. Often, our guests are people who wouldn’t label themselves as solarpunks, but are (and have been, often for years) quietly involved in working towards making the world a better place to live in. We strongly believe that once you get past the aesthetic and hype about renewables, solarpunk at its core promotes compassion, kinship with non-humans and humans alike, and grace for our fellow human beings as we all work together to survive on our shared planet.
You can support the podcast on Patreon, with tiers starting at just $1 USD! We host a monthly solarpunk hangout that all of our patrons are invited to, and all Patrons at the $3 tier and up receive early access to our episodes. There are more tiers with more extras, so head to https://patreon.com/solarpunkpresents to see them all. We also take one-time or recurring donations over at our PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=4QYBB8LGBC6FS
Even if you’re not in the financial position to donate, we really value other forms of support, such as positive reviews on your podcatcher of choice (it helps us be more visible and reach more solarpunks!), or subscriptions to our YouTube channel and comments there. As writers, we thrive on feedback, and we are continually trying to make the podcast better and want to know what you think.
As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.

I was just given a quote from a statement Thich Nhat Hanh wrote in 2015, shortly before the Paris Climate Summit:
“Many of us have become alienated from the Earth. We are lost, isolated and lonely. We work too hard, our lives are too busy, and we are restless and distracted, losing ourselves in consumption.”

Side note; I wrote a song about the (utter lack of) results of the Paris Accords:

The overwhelming majority of people in the world – between 80% and 89%, according to a growing number of peer-reviewed scientific studies – want their governments to take stronger climate action.
But at least for now, this global climate majority is a silent majority.
The current mismatch between public will and government action amounts to a deficit in democracy.

#FYI #PaulBeckwith video lecture and literature review
Well, this paper is from Dr. Hansen, we better listen. Unfortunately (for us) he was correct all through the last decades with his calculations.
Algeria and the other Saharan countries could literally lease a patch of the desert to other countries to generate their power.
We could have started on this with the Kyoto accord in the 90s.
We would have a global clean power grid by now.
But instead investors have fossil fuel companies and we have climate catastrophes.
We’re so smart.
