Trump underestimates the speed of sea level rise by more than a factor 1,000. His gullible supporters are in for a surprise.

July 2024 was the second-warmest July globally in the data record, with an average surface air temperature of 16.91°C, 0.68°C above the already warmed 1991-2020 average for July, and only 0.04°C lower than the previous high set in July 2023.

No less than 19% of EU gas imports in the first quarter of 2024 still came from Russia, funding its war against Ukraine. And that's more than it was one year ago...
Bring it to zero, asap!

Based on daily values, the June average for atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa was ~426.9 ppm. That's 3.2 ppm more than last year; another big year-on-year jump!

The amount of rain in the Netherlands since 1 October is totally out of the range we knew. A very persistent jet stream pattern combined with lots of moisture over the warm Atlantic causes it. Behind that: climate change.
Expect more surprises.

50.3°C in Algeria today; first time ever that 50°C was exceeded in June in Algeria.
(That's 122.5F)

30,000 people formed a human #ClimateChain along the Dutch coast today to call for strong climate action. Not a given with our incoming right-far-right coalition government, including Wilders' climate-denying PVV.

The Netherlands already warmed by 2°C, we recently had our first 40°C, and rainfall patterns are changing. More of this is coming until we reduce global emissions to zero.

Massive renewable energy news from the Netherlands:
4 GW of beyond-subsidy-free offshore wind will be built by 2 consortia!
Together good for 16 TWh/year of electricity; that's 15% of current national electricity demand, and over 0.5% of EU27 electricity demand, which I find impressive as well.Both 2 GW wind farms will be located in the IJmuiden Ver zone, 60 km off the North Holland coast.

After 51 years of operation, the only Dutch #nuclear power plant Borssele is getting old. Planned shutdown is in 2033, but so far, only €300 million has been set aside for its #decommissioning, estimated to cost between €600 million and multiple billions.

Big leap for Dutch offshore wind!
The results of the tender for 4 GW of permits in the IJmuiden Ver area will be published in a week, on Thursday 11 June, at 18:00!

In May 2024, the average atmospheric CO₂ concentration at Mauna Loa was 426.9-427.0 ppm*, that's ~2.9 ppm higher than last year. A big jump again!

Hearing that Dutch (technical) universities are already having to slash their budgets and lay off scientists due to the coalition agreement of the incoming right-far-right government which contains big budget cuts on scientific research. Not a smart idea in a knowledge economy.

Widespread seawater intrusions found beneath the grounded ice of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica. This makes the glacier more vulnerable to melting from a warmer ocean than anticipated, which in turn will increase projections of ice mass loss.

Quite some people here in the Netherlands have come to believe that it was 'the left' that has been ruling this country for many years now.
In real life, we've had government coalitions led by @minpres Rutte's center-right VVD for the past 14 years.In conversation from mastodon.energy permalink Attachments
