Indeed I see too much fatalistic doomerism here on Lemmy and it's boring - waste of potential energy.
We can try to explain better - if people want to understand - that climate system is complex, actions don't give immediately tangible results, there are many sub-systems with inertia, and indeed various types of waves too, but most of this is predictable and the pathways we have to follow are well known.
By the way about the jet-stream waves mentioned in the article, they have two sides - where I am it's been cool recently.
More importantly, seems likely that Chinese emissions are peaking, not because they are so virtuous but because their enormous over-construction bubble involving so much steel and concrete, which was driving global emissions growth, has burst. When I was in climate negotiations years ago, we could never get the chinese to agree to talk about peaking before 2025, yet it happened. Meanwhile renewable energy expands fast around the world.
However we also reduced a lot of sulphate aerosols (both on land and from ships at sea), so we removed that temporary cooling, then on top of that we had El Niño, and have a peak in the solar cycle. The temperature spike then pushes more CO2 into the atmosphere from forests, soils and ocean, so we get bad news about atmospheric CO2, but such feedbacks happened before and are in the models, it’s not unexpected or out of control yet.

It's a pity that Bulgaria and Armenia (rival candidates within same UN-region to host COP29) conceded this at COP28, I don't know why. Last I heard, Azerbaijan even closed its land borders - no way in except by plane - anybody know if this is still true? Anyway, the agenda for some COPs matters more than for others - this year they just have to clap something through to keep the process going, so real progress can be made next year in Belem.
From the tasks described, it seems to me they were not measuring 'Computer Skills' as reasoning, patience, tenacity - people could have similar issues with similar tasks involving a pile of papers.
Still around. But it seems parents don't count to teens, just provide food, sign docs, until switch off the wifi ... We did go on a cycling trip recently - this worked - have to be active and look at distance rather than screens.
I'd like to be able to vote for pan-european parties, but voting for Volt only works in very large constituencies (such as Germany). In most other places it likely reduces the chance of getting pro-european MEPs who might consider implementing such an option. What other strategies can help ?
The hydroride site says the green bottle contains 20g hydrogen, that might make 180g water, but is still not a lot if you're thirsty. But can 20g of Hydrogen really take a bike 60km ?
Indeed fascinating - for somebody who knows more about CO2/pH and gas exchange around marine microalgae - indeed it does vary a lot, maybe counter-intuitively, on a tiny scale ...
Moi je ne suis pas français mais habitant d'un pays voisin, et pendant multiples années je n'avais pas voyagé loin en France en train avec ma famille, pour exactement ce raison, bien que nous voyageons souvent en train vers la reste de l'europe.
Néanmoins ce mai nous avons trouvé des billets de la frontière Belge jusqu'à la frontière Espagnol pour 29€ par personne !
J'était aussi surpris par les offres des trains régionales d'Occitanie.
Donc, c'est possible hors des périodes fort occupés (dans ce cas grace au déplacement des congés scolaires belges). J'ai l'impression que c'est la capacité du stock roulant qui manque. Aussi la centralisation du réseau tgv le fait pratique (et parfois bon marché) pour les Parisiens, mais pas pour tous les autres (nous n'avons pas pris tgv...).
Depends whose lifetime. Mine, maybe not, but for my children - yes. Also depends what indicator - global CO2 emissions maybe falling this year, but temperature will lag decades, sea-level even more (btw I do model these scenarios, so know well how they diverge ).
Nice graphic. Although probably you'd see more info with just a lineplot, separating north / south + land /ocean. What strikes me is how regular the gap is over the last year, and how it bulges most in July-December, which suggests the ocean (larger and less variable) dominates the numbers, with El Niño overlaid on steady warming trend. To get it back down quickly, we need more effort on short lived gases - mainly methane (tackling aviation-indeed cirrus might also help compensate for reduced ship-sulphate cooling ) .
Dogs can be trained to be intelligent with bicycles. Mine loves to run fast alongside the e-bike on a riverside path - and biking rather than walking the dog also keeps her running straight, rather than exploring sideways or investigating others. She also likes to ride in the trailer. It's dogs that are stuck too long behind fences that are more likely to want to bother cycles. Another hazard for a bike is intercepting one of those very-long dog-leads.
La droite a utilisé des accusations similaires pour démoniser Jeremy Corbyn en angleterre pour l'élection de 2019. Bien que je ne suis aucun fan de lui - qui a fait des nombreux erreurs sur d'autres sujets, quand même il connaissait bien la situation en Palestine. Ce n'est pa la vérité ou l'équilibre qui compte pour la droite - si une recette fonctionne pour gagner, ils la répètent.
