CO2 emissions set to rise by about 1% to new record in 2023
“said Glenn Peters...
“To be consistent with ambiguous climate targets laid out in the Paris Agreement, global fossil CO₂ emissions would need to decline in excess of 5 per cent per year. This is just not happening. Each year, that emissions keep rising makes it even harder to reach the Paris targets and locks the world into even more climate impacts",”

"In short: Defence Minister Richard Marles says AUKUS partners are working to help Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines despite changes to procurement plans in the US.
The US Navy says it will order just one fast-attack nuclear submarine in 2025, rather than two.
What's next? As part of the AUKUS deal, Australia will provide more than $4.5 billion to bolster America's submarine industrial base."

#AUKUS
"The U.S. nuclear attack submarine inventory will experience a nearly decade-long dip due to the AUKUS partnership, according to a new Congressional Budget Office analysis of U.S. naval shipbuilding.

To support selling three to five Virginia-class attack boats to the Royal Australian Navy, the attack boat inventory will decrease in the mid-2030s, as shipyards won’t be able to deliver Virginia-class boats to absorb the loss of the sale to Australia"
