A rare moment when a video title is not clickbait. Great report from DW Planet A on energy system inefficiencies. I've wonder whether talking more about efficiency and waste to climate skeptics might bring them on board with green policies. Personally, I don't care how we do it, as long as we get to the same end result of a more sustainable world.
"#Climate-induced disasters, in the shape of devastating floods and excessive rains, have increased the burden of #malaria manifold, registering an alarming spike in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province [#Pakistan] in the preceding year of 2023.
Data compiled by the Public Health Department puts that in startlingly concrete terms: KP's malaria burden more than tripled in one year, a jump from 150,000 cases in 2022 to 500,000 in 2023, Dr Roghani disclosed."
"Natural gas producers are planning for a significant spike in demand over the next decade, as artificial intelligence drives a surge in electricity consumption that renewables may struggle to meet alone." #AI#climate#ClimateCollapse#environment
"The movement should focus on a more feasible, yet crucial, step on the road to #FossilFuel phaseout: stopping fossil fuel #expansion.
Proponents of ambitious #climate action should direct policy and advocacy efforts toward building a global “No New Fossil” norm, encompassing exploration for and development of new fossil fuel extraction sites, and permitting and construction of new, large-scale fossil fuel–consuming infrastructure."
Nature-friendly farming keeping farmers in the green
‘The Impact of Extreme Weather on Scottish Agriculture’ commissioned by WWF Scotland shows that increased prolonged periods of hot, dry weather dramatically risk the profitability of Scottish farms, but by adopting nature-friendly farming practices this can be avoided
Conditions improved in south-central and northern areas of Kansas this week, while both extreme and severe drought expanded slightly in parts of western Kansas.
The state’s vacillating drought conditions over the past few weeks have affected some winter wheat crops. This week’s USDA Crop Progress report rated Kansas’ winter wheat condition at 11% very poor, 21% poor, 36% fair, 29% good and 3% excellent.
Let me stop #cdnpoli now from the run-away American-inspired narrative that only Trudeau can save us from Poilievre. We don’t have a two party system and Trudeau is turning #Canada into an unaffordable police state. So get over that Singh is in a turban and vote for someone who actually represents your long-term interests.
Trudeau has let all the Premiers run roughshod over the Health Canada act and just approved Ford’s plan to run an unnecessary highway (as studies have shown, it is a make work project) and #climate disaster through ecogically sensitive farmland after buying a pipeline that went 30x over budget for his oil buddies. Then Prime Minister mcDreamy got on board with a genocide. Launch 🚀 him into the sun. #cdnpoli#Canada
And don’t tell me how PM mcDreamy is protecting my bodily autonomy while access to abortion has DECREASED not increased under his rule. It is a load of malarkey! No one serious should vote for Pierre but Justin ain’t it. And his harem Cabinet of ghouls can go with him, starting with Freeland who is a nazi. #climate#cdnpoli#Canada
