Politicians and courage... we are so toast !

“Thirty years after the first COP meeting took place in Berlin, and one decade on from Paris, that road map must be expanded to include a plan to phase out fossil fuels. Failure to do so will leave none of us unscathed.”https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03851-6
World leaders must find the courage to end the fossil-fuel age
Despite the weak agreement seen at the COP30 climate conference, Brazil was right to prioritize discussing the eventual phase-out of fossil fuels. Others must now help to find a way forward.

In France - and elsewhere am sure - data centers can heat up public swimming pools and other buildings.
It's really much smarter than just building regular data centers that needs massive amounts of air conditionning...

It's been in the news lately (see below) as the pilot installation, at a home in Essex, is now operational. But I noticed it raised a lot of questions for people. So, I spoke to Thermify and their installation partner to find out more...

When this is over I want trials. Consequences. I don't want to "move on", I want the whole world to stop while we have trials. I want their names taught to my grandchildren in their history class. Traitors.

It's not every day, you get really close to seeing $42 billion move from the world's largest asset manager because of their lack of credible climate action.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.
Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

Many conclude that #COP30 wasn't a big success, but not a big failure either.
Given the speed with which the climate crisis is developing, any COP that's not a big success is now a big failure, though.
We can't afford losing a year.

it's weird to live in a world where a new 'worst thing you've ever imagined' happens at least a few times a month and it's easy to let it all run together and just sort of wash over you and go totally numb to all of it so you don't freak out because you still have to do laundry and go to work.
