  15. &lt;p class="has-drop-cap"&gt;Decisions made in India over the next few years will play a key role in global efforts to head off the most catastrophic effects of climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
  16. &lt;p&gt;The country has one of the world&amp;rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-the-fastest-growing-economies-in-2024/#google_vignette"&gt;fastest-growing economies&lt;/a&gt;, and its energy consumption is growing rapidly as a result &amp;mdash; but it still relies largely on fossil fuels. India has a general election that will wrap up in June 2024, and both major parties say they support moving the country away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible, a position backed by a sizable majority of citizens.&lt;/p&gt;
  17. &lt;p&gt;Global institutions like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank have pledged to help finance efforts to cut climate pollution. But many experts say more help is needed if India and other developing countries are to meet their energy goals.&lt;/p&gt;
  18. &lt;p&gt;As Indian Environment Secretary Rameshwar Prasad Gupta&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/renewables/india-wants-rich-countries-to-pay-more-for-green-energy-shift/articleshow/84335402.cms?from=mdr"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in an interview with the Economic Times, &amp;ldquo;Without adequate climate finance being definitively available, we can&amp;rsquo;t commit&amp;rdquo; to curbing India&amp;rsquo;s carbon emissions fast enough to meet the country&amp;rsquo;s targets under the global&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-paris-agreement"&gt;Paris climate agreement&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of 2015.&lt;/p&gt;
  19. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;How much does India contribute to climate change?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  20. &lt;p&gt;India has only generated about 3% of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2"&gt;total historical climate pollution&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;compared to 25% for the United States. But it is the third-highest carbon-polluting country today. To have a chance of meeting the Paris targets, the world cannot afford for India and other developing countries to follow the same path that made rich countries wealthy: burning &amp;ldquo;cheap&amp;rdquo; fossil fuels, because we now know the tremendous indirect costs of fossil fuel via environmental and health damages.&lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/01/business/india-economy-election.html"&gt;The size of India&amp;rsquo;s economy has almost doubled&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;since Narendra Modi became prime minister a decade ago. The country surpassed China last year to become the most-populated country in the world with over 1.4 billion people. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://worldpoverty.io/"&gt;number of Indians living in poverty&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has declined from 317 million in 2016 to 140 million today, although 90% of the population still lives on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/01/business/india-economy-election.html"&gt;less than $10 per day&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;p&gt;With improved living conditions comes greater energy use and more pollution. India&amp;rsquo;s coal consumption has nearly tripled since 2005. India accounts for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/coal-2023/demand"&gt;14% of global coal demand&lt;/a&gt;, behind only China and is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/a72a7ffa-c5f2-4ed8-a2bf-eb035931d95c/Coal_2023.pdf"&gt;expected to account for most of the increase&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in global coal consumption in the coming years. India&amp;rsquo;s overall climate pollution is about 75% higher than in 2005, largely due to coal-fired power.&lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;p&gt;Still, although per-person carbon emissions in India have doubled since 2005, the average Indian&amp;rsquo;s carbon footprint remains&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-ghg-emissions?tab=chart&amp;amp;country=CHN~BRA~IND~OWID_WRL~USA"&gt;less than half the world average&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and seven times lower than the average American&amp;rsquo;s.&lt;/p&gt;

  27. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Troubling details of India&amp;rsquo;s climate vulnerability&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  28. &lt;p&gt;Like other industrializing countries, India is among&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/figures/chapter-8/figure-8-006"&gt;the most vulnerable to climate change impacts&lt;/a&gt;. A 2018 paper in Nature Climate Change estimated that&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2018/oct/01/new-study-finds-incredibly-high-carbon-pollution-costs-especially-for-the-us-and-india"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2018/oct/01/new-study-finds-incredibly-high-carbon-pollution-costs-especially-for-the-us-and-india"&gt;climate change will impose the highest social costs on India&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;of any country, primarily due to its already-hot climate combined with its large and rapidly developing economy, whose growth will be curbed by climate damages such as extreme heat waves, droughts, and floods.&lt;/p&gt;
  29. &lt;p&gt;Extreme heat could prove especially dangerous. A 2023 study in Nature Sustainability found that on the current track of about 2.7 degrees Celsius (4.9 degrees Fahrenheit) of global warming by 2100, about 600 million people&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2023/06/global-warming-is-disrupting-humanitys-goldilocks-zone-on-earth/"&gt;in India&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;would be exposed to unprecedentedly dangerous heat. An analysis by the World Weather Attribution group also found that a dangerous 2022 record heat wave in India and Pakistan was&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change-made-devastating-early-heat-in-india-and-pakistan-30-times-more-likely/"&gt;made 30 times more likely by global warming&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  30. &lt;p&gt;And a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adi1401"&gt;2023 study in Science Advances&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;found that warming temperatures are drying out the soil. Indian farmers have pumped more groundwater to irrigate their crops, exacerbating droughts and aquifer depletion that &amp;ldquo;will likely further threaten India&amp;rsquo;s food and water security over the coming decades.&amp;rdquo; It&amp;rsquo;s an impact with global implications since India is the world&amp;rsquo;s second-largest producer of common cereal grains like rice and wheat.&lt;/p&gt;
  31. &lt;p&gt;India&amp;rsquo;s citizens also are aware that their country is highly vulnerable to these damages. International surveys conducted in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nber.org/papers/w30265"&gt;2022&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications/international-public-opinion-on-climate-change-2023/"&gt;2023&lt;/a&gt;* showed that 85% of Indians expressed worries about human-caused climate change, compared to just 63% of Americans. And 87% of Indian respondents said climate change is an important issue their country should take measures to fight, compared to just 71% of Americans.&lt;/p&gt;
  32. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;What has India promised to do about climate change?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  33. &lt;p&gt;In&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/NDC/2022-08/India%20Updated%20First%20Nationally%20Determined%20Contrib.pdf"&gt;its 2022 updated international climate commitment&lt;/a&gt;, India made two key pledges: to reduce the emissions intensity of its economy by 45% below 2005 levels by 2030, and to &amp;ldquo;achieve about 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030, with the help of transfer of technology and low-cost international finance including from Green Climate Fund.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  34. &lt;p&gt;The first commitment reflects the challenge of reducing climate pollution outright as the Indian economy and energy demand grow rapidly. Instead, the country will reduce a specific quantity: tons of carbon pollution per dollar of economic activity. That&amp;rsquo;s not a well-defined metric and is complicated by factors like inflation rates and national purchasing power adjustments. But the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/co2-emissions-intensity-of-gdp-1990-2021"&gt;International Energy Agency&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PP.GD?locations=IN"&gt;World Bank&lt;/a&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://unfccc.int/documents/636235"&gt;Indian government&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;estimate that so far it has declined by between 20% and 33% since 2005, and the country is on track to surpass its pledge of a 45% reduction by 2030.&lt;/p&gt;
  35. &lt;p&gt;The key caveat in India&amp;rsquo;s second commitment is that it aims for half its power capacity to come from clean resources by 2030. India is a sunny country with great solar power potential, and it has been solar farms at a rapid clip. As a result, clean sources account for 41% of India&amp;rsquo;s power-generating capacity today, up from about 30% in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
  36. &lt;p&gt;But power capacity refers to the maximum amount of electricity that can be produced at any one time. Solar panels can only generate that maximum power when it&amp;rsquo;s sunny. As a result, they generate significantly less electricity relative to their capacity than a less variable source like a hydroelectric dam or coal power plant. That&amp;rsquo;s why coal still accounts for over 70% of Indian electricity generation, compared to one-quarter from clean sources.&lt;/p&gt;
  37. &lt;p&gt;India is on track to meet its pledge to reach 50% clean power capacity by 2030, but for the foreseeable future, most of its total electricity will come from burning coal. A more rapid transition away from coal would help India meet its climate goals and also vastly improve public health. A&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2017936118"&gt;2021 study&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;estimated that the air pollution from India&amp;rsquo;s installed and planned coal power plants would be responsible for over 100,000 premature deaths per year if they&amp;rsquo;re all built as anticipated.&lt;/p&gt;
  38. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;India has a long-term low-carbon plan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  39. &lt;p&gt;In late 2022, the Indian government published&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/resource/India_LTLEDS.pdf"&gt;its long-term low-carbon development strategy&lt;/a&gt;. The document notes, &amp;ldquo;India is committed to combating climate change, by making development choices that ensure growth and development of the economy along low carbon pathways towards net-zero by 2070.&amp;rdquo; It lists strategies like expanding renewable energy, strengthening the power grid, improving energy and resource efficiency, and restoring forests. It notes, &amp;ldquo;the need for climate finance for India&amp;rsquo;s low-carbon transition is considerable.&amp;rdquo; To that end, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund have identified that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://time.com/6271719/world-bank-imf-climate-change-finance/"&gt;they need to do more&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to finance clean energy infrastructure in developing nations like India.&lt;/p&gt;
  40. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Council on Energy, Environment and Water&amp;rsquo;s Centre for Energy Finance says&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.ceew.in/cef/solutions-factory/publications/CEEW-CEF-Investment-Sizing-India%E2%80%99s-2070-Net-Zero-Target.pdf"&gt;India needs $10 trillion&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to reach net-zero by 2070,&amp;rdquo; Sustainable Futures Collaborative climate policy coordinator Aman Srivastava wrote via email, adding that international climate financing &amp;ldquo;should ideally be much higher&amp;rdquo; than it is today.&lt;/p&gt;
  41. &lt;p&gt;India is in the midst of a general election that will end at the beginning of June. Prime Minister Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party are&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/16/world/asia/india-2024-election.html#link-7bf3e11e"&gt;expected to retain power&lt;/a&gt;. Their party&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/india-election-2024-what-the-manifestos-say-on-energy-and-climate-change/"&gt;promises&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to &amp;ldquo;harness [India&amp;rsquo;s] renewable energy potential, targeting 500GW of renewable energy through the establishment of mega solar parks, wind parks, and the Green Energy Corridor project, among others.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  42. &lt;p&gt;The main opposition, the Indian National Congress, is similarly supportive of clean energy policies, stating, &amp;ldquo;The future of our energy is green energy. We will mobilize the massive capital required for our green energy transition.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  43. &lt;/div&gt;

  49. <title>2024 SkS Weekly Climate Change &amp; Global Warming News Roundup #18</title>
  50. <description>&lt;div class="greenbox" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A listing of 26 news and opinion articles we found interesting and shared on social media during the past week: Sun, April 28, 2024 thru Sat, May 4, 2024.&lt;/div&gt;
  51. &lt;hr /&gt;
  52. &lt;h3&gt;Story of the week&lt;/h3&gt;
  53. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  54. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"It&amp;rsquo;s straight out of Big Tobacco&amp;rsquo;s playbook. In fact, research by John Cook&amp;nbsp;and his colleagues has shown that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14693062.2023.2245792"&gt;character assassination has been one of the most common ways&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in which fossil fuel interests have attempted to deny accountability for the climate crisis."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  55. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;mdash; Geoffrey Supan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  56. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  57. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img class="figureright" src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/2024-05-04-215804_1366x768_scrot.png" alt="" width="350" height="149" /&gt;Why go low? Because when one can't fly, one creeps and crawls. Widely remarked:&amp;nbsp;to fall back on ad hominem remarks is to declare intellectual surrender, at best a Hail Mary attempt to change topics&amp;mdash; and easily spotted even by children arguing on a playground. "Going ad hom" is a common failure mode when talk turns to human-caused climate change. US Senator&amp;nbsp;(from hydrocarbon-rich Louisiana) John Kennedy's&amp;nbsp; waving the white flag and ceding a vast territory of evidence and facts to Geoffrey Supan by diving into the gutter is the subject of our story of the week. Kennedy humiliated himself in the most public of places: in a televised US Senate Budget Committee hearing.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  58. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In a nutshell, Senator Kennedy attempted to discredit Prof. Supan and divert attention from the content of Supan's testimony by highlighting a single social media item Supan had reposted, an innocuous description of tactical choices made by a youth-led climate action organization.This was thin fabric, comically so, and made worse by Kennedy's needing to read various expletives from &lt;em&gt;other&lt;/em&gt; posts&amp;mdash; unrelated to Supan's repost&amp;mdash; into the congressional record.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  59. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Senator Kennedy's weird diversion encourages us to speculate&amp;mdash; and legitimates scrutiny of Kennedy himself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;With Kennedy's having created his own first mover disadvantage by changing the topic of the hearing from science to personalities, we are free in turn to wonder over his puzzling public messaging.&amp;nbsp;Are we are seeing &lt;em&gt;genuine&lt;/em&gt; inability to track a topic, or instead something more resembling a retail transaction?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://heated.world/p/gop-senator-accidentally-creates" target="_blank"&gt;Emily Atkin's coverage in &lt;em&gt;Heated &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;tells the whole story and offers hints of where a parsimonious interpretation may lie.&lt;/p&gt;
  60. &lt;p&gt;Given Prof. Supan's testimony about the connection between fossil fuel industry contributions and politician support for industry agendas, a reasonable person reading this story must form their own conclusions over the root cause of Kennedy's rhetorical flop. One would think Senator Kennedy would understand how he was walking into a self-made trap of creating suspicions and doubts, issuing an unfavorable invitation to comparisons. After all, Kennedy was among the top four congressional recipients of fossil fuel industry campaign contributions for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=2022&amp;amp;ind=E01&amp;amp;mem=Y&amp;amp;recipdetail=S" target="_blank"&gt;2022 election cycle.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;With money generally not being handed out in large quantities for zero consideration, one might see this as explanation for an otherwise curious choice to look foolish in front of the world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  61. &lt;p&gt;As we can't read Senator Kennedy's mind, we are stuck with speculation. Is he only feigning incompetence? We can't truly know. It is of course for Senator Kennedy to choose how he leads our imaginations and is perceived&amp;mdash; we can only respect his wishes, for bad or worse. If Kennedy wants to be remembered by history as&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;"fond of loudly losing, but why?" &lt;/em&gt;who are we to question that?&lt;/p&gt;

  123. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the face of climate change, climate literacy is becoming increasingly important. With wide access to generative AI tools, such as OpenAI&amp;rsquo;s ChatGPT, we explore the potential of AI platforms for ordinary citizens asking climate literacy questions. Here, we focus on a global scale and collect responses from ChatGPT (GPT-3.5 and GPT-4) on climate change-related hazard prompts over multiple iterations by utilizing the OpenAI&amp;rsquo;s API and comparing the results with credible hazard risk indices. We find a general sense of agreement in comparisons and consistency in ChatGPT over the iterations. GPT-4 displayed fewer errors than GPT-3.5. Generative AI tools may be used in climate literacy, a timely topic of importance, but must be scrutinized for potential biases and inaccuracies moving forward and considered in a social context. Future work should identify and disseminate best practices for optimal use across various generative AI tools&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  127. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Travel to academic conferences&amp;mdash;where international flights are the norm&amp;mdash;is responsible for a sizeable fraction of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with academic work. In order to provide a benchmark for comparison with other fields, as well as for future reduction strategies and assessments, we estimate the CO2-equivalent emissions for conference travel in the field of astronomy for the prepandemic year 2019. The GHG emission of the international astronomical community&amp;rsquo;s 362 conferences and schools in 2019 amounted to 42,500 tCO2e, assuming a radiative-forcing index factor of 1.95 for air travel. This equates to an average of 1.0 &amp;plusmn; 0.6 tCO2e per participant per meeting. The total travel distance adds up to roughly 1.5 Astronomical Units, that is, 1.5 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun. We present scenarios for the reduction of this value, for instance with virtual conferencing or hub models, while still prioritizing the benefits conferences bring to the scientific community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  131. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Common Era temperature variability has been a prominent component in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports over the last several decades and was twice featured in their Summary for Policymakers. A single reconstruction of mean Northern Hemisphere temperature variability was first highlighted in the 2001 Summary for Policymakers, despite other estimates that existed at the time. Subsequent reports assessed many large-scale temperature reconstructions, but the entirety of Common Era temperature history in the most recent Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was restricted to a single estimate of mean annual global temperatures. We argue that this focus on a single reconstruction is an insufficient summary of our understanding of temperature variability over the Common Era. We provide a complementary perspective by offering an alternative assessment of the state of our understanding in high-resolution paleoclimatology for the Common Era and call for future reports to present a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of our knowledge about this important period of human and climate history.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  138. &lt;p id="sp0050"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The phase-out of unabated coal power is crucial for meeting climate agreements in coal-dependent economies such as Indonesia and Vietnam. Despite both countries committing to the 2021 Global Coal to Clean Power Transition Statement, translating phase-out pledges into action poses considerable challenges. Drawing insights from interviews with government, civil society, and industry experts, this study identifies the key barriers hindering coal phase-out in each country. Concerns about potentially escalating electricity prices and power shortages loom large, with the former being more prominent in Indonesia and the latter more prominent in Vietnam. The obstacles appear particularly significant in Indonesia for reasons including its higher coal dependence. We conclude that prioritizing renewable energy growth, as well as halting the construction of new coal plants, would be the most practical and viable way forward for both countries rather than an oversized early focus on coal plant closures. The analysis is of high relevance to informing plans under the two countries' Just Energy Transition Partnerships.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  142. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Environmental decision makers lament instances in which the lack of actionable science limits confident decision-making. Their reaction when the needed scientific information is of poor quality, uninformative, unintelligible, or altogether absent is often to criticize scientists, their work, or science in general. The considerations offered here encourage decision makers to explore alternative approaches to alleviate their disappointment. Ironically, many researchers lament the lack of support for the science they wish to deliver and accuse decision makers of failing to realize the value of the scientific studies they propose. Both communities would benefit by remembering that producing actionable science for a pending decision requires knowing the context for that decision beforehand. They may also look inward. Only then will they find answers to the question: What can I do within my own capacity to ensure that the necessary actionable science becomes available and facilitate its use to inform decisions?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  149. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;From April 14 to 15 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the northern parts of Oman were hit by exceptionally heavy rainfall causing massive disruption in infrastructure and public life in the area and leading to at least 20 fatalities in Oman and four in the United Arab Emirates UAE. The disagreement between model results and observations prevents the authors from concluding with certainty that human-induced climate change is the main driver making this event more likely. However, while multiple reasons could explain the absence of a trend in the model results, the authors have no alternative explanation for a trend in observations other than the expectation of heavy rainfall increasing in a warmer climate.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  323. &lt;blockquote&gt;&amp;ldquo;State of the Air&amp;rdquo; 2024 is the 25th edition of this annual report, which was first published in 2000. From the beginning, the findings have reflected the successes of the Clean Air Act, as emissions from transportation, power plants and manufacturing have been reduced. In recent years, however, the findings of the report continue adding to the evidence that a changing climate is making it harder to protect human health. High ozone days and spikes in particle pollution related to extreme heat, drought and wildfires are putting millions of people at risk and adding challenges to the work that states and cities are doing across the nation to clean up air pollution.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  325. &lt;blockquote&gt;Climate change will have significant effects on military power, capabilities, effectiveness, and employment. Yet, scholars have paid little attention to this topic. We address this gap by investigating the effects of changing ocean conditions on anti-submarine warfare. Anti-submarine warfare capabilities exploit various physical phenomena to detect enemy submarines, principally underwater sound propagation. Underwater sound propagation depends on factors influenced by climate change, such as water temperature and salinity. Through ocean-acoustic simulations, we estimate the effect of climate change on the detection range of enemy submarines in the North Atlantic and in the Western Pacific.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  327. &lt;blockquote&gt;From April 14 to 15 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the northern parts of Oman were hit by exceptionally heavy rainfall causing massive disruption in infrastructure and public life in the area and leading to at least 20 fatalities in Oman and four in the United Arab Emirates UAE. The disagreement between model results and observations prevents the authors from concluding with certainty that human-induced climate change is the main driver making this event more likely. However, while multiple reasons could explain the absence of a trend in the model results, the authors have no alternative explanation for a trend in observations other than the expectation of heavy rainfall increasing in a warmer climate.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  329. &lt;blockquote&gt;The National Critical Functions (NCFs) are those functions vital to the United States' economic and national security, public health, and safety. Climate change effects have the potential to disrupt routine operations of these functions. Climate risk mitigation strategies are intended to reduce an NCF's vulnerability to, or the consequences from, direct and indirect effects of climate change. This report is intended to inform risk mitigation planning and decision-making by contextualizing climate risk mitigation through a review of mitigation strategies for four NCFs: Maintain Supply Chains, Provide Insurance Services, Prepare for and Manage Emergencies, and Provide Public Safety.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  333. &lt;blockquote&gt;The climate crisis has renewed interest in nuclear energy as a way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In 2023, the United States and 21 other countries pledged to triple nuclear energy by 2050. Lost in the noise about meeting net zero goals are the national security implications of attempting such an enormous expansion of nuclear energy.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The authors assess the industry landscape, supply chain, and workforce opportunities available to Louisiana in the offshore wind industry. As a nationally recognized leader in port infrastructure, maritime construction, and energy production, Louisiana can further diversify and develop new employment and economic opportunities through renewable energy production.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Building on the longitudinal data afforded by this ongoing research, this assessment centers on equity as a shared focus across all working groups. This is achieved through inclusive internal processes for working group activities and explicit attention to uneven impacts and vulnerabilities associated with climate change policy responses.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  339. &lt;blockquote&gt;The author highlights some of the benefits and challenges associated with the coal to nuclear repowering process, with a particular focus on the policy, programmatic, and regulatory considerations of relevance to State Energy Offices and Public Utility Commissions. Some of the benefits of coal to nuclear repowering include reduced emissions, workforce and economic development potential, improved electric reliability, and opportunities to save time and money relative to greenfield deployment by repurposing existing infrastructure.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Tracking MN&amp;rsquo;s clean energy trends&lt;/a&gt;, C&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lean Energy Economy MN and the Business Council of Sustainable Energy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  341. &lt;blockquote&gt;The Factsheet outlines key trends in the energy sector. As America continues its transformation to cleaner, cheaper sustainable energy, Minnesota continues to be a leader both regionally and nationally. For example, for the fourth consecutive year, zero-carbon power remained the majority of Minnesota&amp;rsquo;s electricity with 54% of the state&amp;rsquo;s power provided, including wind, solar, hydro and biomass &amp;mdash; outpacing the national share of 42%.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  343. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors provide audience members, screenwriters, filmmakers, studios, and researchers with a straightforward way to evaluate whether climate change is represented&amp;mdash;or omitted&amp;mdash;in any narrative through a two-part, binary evaluation tool that is simple, illuminating, and powerful.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  344. &lt;hr /&gt;
  345. &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;Obtaining articles without journal subscriptions&lt;/h3&gt;
  346. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;We know it's frustrating that many articles we cite here are not free to read. One-off paid access fees are generally astronomically priced, suitable for such as &lt;em&gt;"&lt;a href="https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol2-trans/100" target="_blank"&gt;On a Heuristic Point of View Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light&lt;/a&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;but not as a gamble on unknowns. With a median world income of US$ 9,373, for most of us US$ 42 is significant money to wager on an article's relevance and importance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  347. &lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
  348. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/competitions/finding-and-accessing-scientific-papers"&gt;Here's an excellent collection&lt;/a&gt; of tips and techniques for obtaining articles, legally.&lt;/li&gt;
  349. &lt;/ul&gt;
  350. &lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
  351. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://unpaywall.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Unpaywall&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;offers a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically indicates when an article is freely accessible and provides immediate access without further trouble. Unpaywall is also unscammy, works well, is itself offered free to use. The organizers (a legitimate nonprofit) report about a 50% success rate&lt;/li&gt;
  352. &lt;/ul&gt;
  353. &lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
  354. &lt;li&gt;The weekly &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; catch is checked against the Unpaywall database with accessible items being flagged. Especially for just-published articles this mechansim may fail. If you're interested in an article title and it is not listed here as "open access," be sure to check the link anyway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  355. &lt;/ul&gt;
  356. &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;How is &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; assembled?&lt;/h3&gt;
  357. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Most articles appearing here are found via&amp;nbsp; RSS feeds from journal publishers, filtered by search terms to produce raw output&amp;nbsp;for assessment of relevance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  358. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Relevant articles are then queried against the Unpaywall database, to identify open access articles and expose useful metadata for articles appearing in the database.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  359. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;The objective of New Research isn't to cast a tinge on scientific results, to color readers' impressions. Hence candidate articles are assessed via two metrics only:&lt;/p&gt;
  360. &lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
  361. &lt;li&gt;Was an article deemed of sufficient merit by a team of journal editors and peer reviewers? The fact of journal RSS output assigns a "yes" to this automatically.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  362. &lt;li&gt;Is an article relevant to the topic of anthropogenic climate change? Due to filter overlap with other publication topics of inquiry, of a typical week's 550 or so input articles about 1/4 of RSS output makes the cut.&lt;/li&gt;
  363. &lt;/ul&gt;
  364. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;A few journals offer public access to "preprint" versions of articles for which the review process is not yet complete. For some key journals this all the mention we'll see in RSS feeds, so we include such items in &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt;. These are flagged as "preprint."&lt;/p&gt;
  365. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;The section "Informed opinion, nudges &amp;amp; major initiatives" includes some items that are not scientific research per se but fall instead into the category of "perspectives," observations of implications of research findings, areas needing attention, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
  366. &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;Suggestions&lt;/h3&gt;
  367. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Please let us know if you're aware of an article you think may be of interest for Skeptical Science research news, or if we've missed something that may be important. Send your input to Skeptical Science via our &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/contact.php"&gt;contact form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  368. &lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;Journals covered&lt;/h3&gt;
  369. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;A list of journals we cover may be found &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/Skeptical-Science-New-Research-Source-Journals.shtml"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. We welcome pointers to omissions, new journals etc.&lt;/p&gt;

  376. <title>Pinning down climate change's role in extreme weather</title>
  377. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/pinning-down-climate-changes-role?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;amp;publication_id=1593097&amp;amp;post_id=143265032&amp;amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;amp;isFreemail=true&amp;amp;token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjozNjY5MjgyLCJwb3N0X2lkIjoxNDMyNjUwMzIsImlhdCI6MTcxNDA2NDU0NSwiZXhwIjoxNzE2NjU2NTQ1LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMTU5MzA5NyIsInN1YiI6InBvc3QtcmVhY3Rpb24ifQ.t1t1uCfY6L5F1bUbgivQzrBcTB97HrDR2Ebv-s2DLt0&amp;amp;r=26n8i&amp;amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;amp;utm_medium=email"&gt;re-post from The Climate Brink by Andrew Dessler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  378. &lt;p&gt;In the wake of any unusual weather event, someone inevitably asks, &amp;ldquo;Did climate change cause this?&amp;rdquo; In the most literal sense, that answer is almost always no. Climate change is never the sole cause of hurricanes, heat waves, droughts, or any other disaster, because weather variability always plays a primary role in the genesis of the events.&lt;/p&gt;
  379. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;However, climate change can make these events more intense and, given the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/why-are-climate-impacts-escalating"&gt;non-linearities in the damages&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, this can vastly increase the damage and misery from extreme weather. So quantifying the role of climate change is therefore of great interest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  380. &lt;div class="captioned-image-container"&gt;
  381. &lt;div class="image2-inset"&gt;&lt;img class="sizing-normal" title="A graph showing 24 hour rainfall on 15 April in MSWEP observational data product. A red box indicates the study region.

  382. &lt;a rel="" href="https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/heavy-precipitation-hitting-vulnerable-communities-in-the-uae-and-oman-becoming-an-increasing-threat-as-the-climate-warms/"&gt;intense rainfall over Dubai&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  383. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;To do this, scientists turn to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.cell.com/one-earth/fulltext/S2590-3322(20)30247-5"&gt;extreme event attribution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;studies. These rely on three separate lines of evidence. The first is the observational record: If you have good observations of the climate over a long enough period, the data set can be statistically analyzed to determine whether the event in question is becoming more frequent as the climate warms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  384. &lt;!--more--&gt;
  385. &lt;p&gt;But correlation does not prove causality, so you need the second line of evidence: a physical understanding of why a particular extreme is getting worse as the climate warms. It should be obvious to readers of this substack why, in a warmer world, we expect to get more frequent heat waves. This physical understanding adds to our con?dence that climate change is a factor in the occurrence of heat waves.&lt;/p&gt;
  386. &lt;p&gt;Finally, we look to computer simulations of the climate. The most common approach is to produce two different simulations of the climate: One simulation is of the real world, so it includes increasing greenhouse gases and a warming climate. The other simulation is what&amp;rsquo;s known as a counterfactual world &amp;mdash; an imaginary world in which humans are not adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, so the climate is not warming. We compare the simulations to see if the extreme we&amp;rsquo;re investigating occurs more frequently in the warmer world.&lt;/p&gt;
  387. &lt;p&gt;If we have all three lines of evidence, we can be confident that the event in question is connected to climate change. Essentially all heat waves fall into this category. On the other hand, we have zero lines of evidence for tornado outbreaks, so we don&amp;rsquo;t really have anything to say about how climate change is affecting those.&lt;/p&gt;
  388. &lt;div class="captioned-image-container"&gt;
  389. &lt;div class="image2-inset"&gt;&lt;img class="sizing-normal" title="" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F15521825-7be4-40dc-a3f7-9317a1a20b2a_1146x486.png" alt="" width="550" height="233" data-attrs="{&amp;quot;src&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/15521825-7be4-40dc-a3f7-9317a1a20b2a_1146x486.png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;srcNoWatermark&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;fullscreen&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;imageSize&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;height&amp;quot;:486,&amp;quot;width&amp;quot;:1146,&amp;quot;resizeWidth&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;bytes&amp;quot;:221213,&amp;quot;alt&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;title&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;image/png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;href&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;belowTheFold&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;topImage&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;internalRedirect&amp;quot;:null}" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  390. &lt;em&gt;the NYT is wrong, although they did&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="" href="https://x.com/jswatz/status/1421123005690875911?s=20"&gt;issue a correction&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after I complained&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  391. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Given this, was the rainfall in Dubai in mid-April turbocharged by climate change? Luckily, the World Weather Attribution project has already&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/heavy-precipitation-hitting-vulnerable-communities-in-the-uae-and-oman-becoming-an-increasing-threat-as-the-climate-warms/"&gt;weighed in&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. When we look for the three pillars, we find:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  392. &lt;ul&gt;
  393. &lt;li&gt;
  394. &lt;p&gt;There is indeed a trend in intense precipitation in the region.&lt;/p&gt;
  395. &lt;/li&gt;
  396. &lt;li&gt;
  397. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We have a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0907610106"&gt;physical understanding&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of why extreme precipitation gets more intense as the climate warms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  398. &lt;/li&gt;
  399. &lt;li&gt;
  400. &lt;p&gt;However, the climate models currently do not reproduce the observed trend in intense precipitation.&lt;/p&gt;
  401. &lt;/li&gt;
  402. &lt;/ul&gt;
  403. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So we have two of three planks for confident attribution &amp;mdash; and we all know that two out of three ain&amp;rsquo;t bad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="footnote-hovercard-target"&gt;&lt;a id="footnote-anchor-1-143265032" class="footnote-anchor" rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/pinning-down-climate-changes-role?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;amp;publication_id=1593097&amp;amp;post_id=143265032&amp;amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;amp;isFreemail=true&amp;amp;r=26n8i&amp;amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;amp;utm_medium=email#footnote-1-143265032" target="_self" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. But it&amp;rsquo;s also not as strong as we&amp;rsquo;d like, so I conclude that we have weak-to-moderate confidence that global warming contributed to the Dubai flooding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  404. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Attributions that come out a few days after the event are necessarily preliminary and I expect more analyses will show up in the peer-reviewed literature in the next year or two. Such analysis may increase our confidence in a climate connection, or it may not. One thing we can be confident about, though, is that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/a-primer-on-cloud-seeding"&gt;it wasn&amp;rsquo;t cloud seeding&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  405. &lt;p&gt;Regardless of the outcome of this event&amp;rsquo;s attribution, rest assured that climate change is making all sorts of extreme weather events more severe.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  410. <title>2024 SkS Weekly Climate Change &amp; Global Warming News Roundup #17</title>
  411. <description>&lt;div class="greenbox" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A listing of 31 news and opinion articles we found interesting and shared on social media during the past week: Sun, April 21, 2024 thru Sat, April 27, 2024.&lt;/div&gt;
  412. &lt;hr /&gt;
  413. &lt;h3&gt;Story of the week&lt;img class="figureright" src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/2024-04-27-192801_1366x768_scrot.png" alt="Screen capture of CarbonBrief news item." width="320" height="158" /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  414. &lt;p&gt;Anthropogenic climate change may be the ultimate &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_dog_story" target="_blank"&gt;shaggy dog story&lt;/a&gt;&amp;mdash; but with a twist, because here endless subplots definitely depend upon one central element in the unfolding drama of our grand physics accident: the dominant story mechanic is that we're changing Earth's climate.&amp;nbsp;This leads to outcomes. One way of seeing this is via the abstraction of statistics, while another perspective is that of individual experiences each of which is only an anecdote but together lead us back to statistics. Our story of the week is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/about-us/" target="_blank"&gt;Carbon Brief's&lt;/a&gt; annual summary&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/state-of-the-climate-2024-off-to-a-record-warm-start/" target="_blank"&gt;State of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip16" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate&lt;/span&gt;: 2024 off to a record-warm start&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  415. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  416. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This year is shaping up to either match or surpass 2023 as the hottest year on record.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  417. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Global temperatures have been exceptionally high over the past three months &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp;at around 1.6C above&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/challenge-defining-pre-industrial-era/" target="_blank"&gt;pre-industrial levels&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp;following the peak of current&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/interactive-much-el-nino-affect-global-temperature/" target="_blank"&gt;El Ni&amp;ntilde;o&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;event at the start of 2024.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  418. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The past 10 months have all set new all-time monthly temperature records, though the margin by which new records have been set has fallen from around 0.3C last year to 0.1C over the first three months of 2024.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  419. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;April 2024 is on track to extend this streak to 11 record months in a row.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  420. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  421. &lt;p&gt;Author Zeke Hausfather continues this informative summary by delivering a complete numerical rundown of where we stand with regard to global surface temperature. In sum we're we're living a spike.&amp;nbsp;Our shock is belated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/how-extreme-was-the-earths-temperature" target="_blank"&gt;Expert opinion&lt;/a&gt; suggests&amp;nbsp;we're&amp;nbsp; experiencing another wiggle in a upward-trending graph. We've seen this before in historical records, only less remarked given we're only now having our first brush with &lt;span&gt;1.5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;deg;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;C of overall warming.&amp;nbsp; In any case, the directed herky jerky plot of global warming inevitably unfolds a bevy of subplots exemplified by other stories from this week's roundup, "anecdotes" in the grand scheme of global temperature records:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  422. &lt;ul style="list-style-type: disc;"&gt;

  427. &lt;/ul&gt;
  428. &lt;p&gt;This shaggy dog story will continue to proliferate and evolve while we wait to reach our next record year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  429. &lt;h3&gt;Stories we promoted this week, by publication date:&lt;/h3&gt;

  497. &lt;p&gt;Sea ice forms during the Antarctic winter and retreats during the warmer months. Such freeze-thaw cycles have no impact on sea levels since they happen within the ocean. However, Antarctic land ice has seen a net decrease, resulting in a significant increase in fresh water flowing into the sea. That does affect global sea levels.&lt;/p&gt;
  498. &lt;p&gt;The behavior of Antarctic land ice varies from region to region. In particular, the West Antarctic Peninsula has seen drastic ice retreat. On the other hand, East Antarctica's land ice has remained relatively stable to date. But if global warming crosses a specific threshold, serious loss is expected to occur. The planet has already moved a third of the way towards that threshold and will pass it within a century, if fossil fuel burning continues unabated.&lt;/p&gt;

  514. <title>Skeptical Science New Research for Week #17 2024</title>

  516. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s43247-024-01322-w" target="_blank"&gt;Ice acceleration and rotation in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip55" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;Greenland Ice Sheet&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;interior in recent decades&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, L&amp;oslash;kkegaard et al.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Communications Earth &amp;amp; Environment:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  517. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  518. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the past two decades, mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet has accelerated, partly due to the speedup of glaciers. However, uncertainty in speed derived from satellite products hampers the detection of inland changes. In-situ measurements using stake surveys or GPS have lower uncertainties. To detect inland changes, we repeated in-situ measurements of ice-sheet surface velocities at 11 historical locations first measured in 1959, located upstream of Jakobshavn Isbr&amp;aelig;, west Greenland. Here, we show ice velocities have increased by 5&amp;ndash;15% across all deep inland sites. Several sites show a northward deflection of 3&amp;ndash;4.5&amp;deg; in their flow azimuth. The recent appearance of a network of large transverse surface crevasses, bisecting historical overland traverse routes, may indicate a fundamental shift in local ice dynamics. We suggest that creep instability&amp;mdash;a coincident warming and softening of near-bed ice layers&amp;mdash;may explain recent acceleration and rotation, in the absence of an appreciable change in local driving stress&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  522. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The 2021 North American wildfire season was marked by record breaking fire-conducive weather and widespread synchronous burning, extreme fire behaviour, smoke and evacuations. Relative to 1979&amp;ndash;2021, the greatest number of temperature and vapor pressure deficit records were broken in 2021, and in July alone, 3.2 million hectares burned in Canada and the United States. These events were catalyzed by an intense heat dome that formed in late June over western North America that synchronized fire danger, challenging fire suppression efforts. Based on analysis of persistent positive anomalies of geopotential heights, the heat dome accounted for 21&amp;ndash;34% of the total area burned in 2021. The event was 59% longer, 34% larger and had 6% higher maximum amplitude than the same event would have been without a warming climate. Climate change will continue to magnify heat dome events, increase fire danger, and enable extreme synchronous wildfire in forested areas of North America.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  526. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Global surface temperature short-term trends fluctuate between cooling and fast-warming under the combined action of external forcing and internal variability, significantly influencing the detectability of near-term climate change. A key driver of these variations is anthropogenic aerosols (AAs), which have undergone a non-monotonic evolution with rapid reduction in recent decades. However, their reduction is projected to decelerate under a high carbon emission scenario, yet the impact on surface temperature trends remains unknown. Here, using initial-perturbation large ensembles, we find that future slowdown in AA reduction over Europe and North America expedites the subpolar North Atlantic surface warming by intensifying the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. Further, it accelerates the South Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean surface warming through positive low-cloud feedback and oceanic dynamical adjustment, triggered by the poleward migration of westerlies under interhemispheric energy constraint. These AA-driven warmings exacerbate greenhouse warming, significantly enhancing the detectability of local decadal warming trends.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  530. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The ocean carbon reservoir controls atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) on millennial timescales. Radiocarbon (14C) anomalies in eastern North Pacific sediments suggest a significant release of geologic&amp;nbsp;14C-free carbon at the end of the last ice age but without evidence of ocean acidification. Using inverse carbon cycle modeling optimized with reconstructed atmospheric CO2&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;14C/C, we develop first-order constraints on geologic carbon and alkalinity release over the last 17.5 thousand years. We construct scenarios allowing the release of 850&amp;ndash;2,400&amp;nbsp;Pg&amp;nbsp;C, with a maximum release rate of 1.3&amp;nbsp;Pg&amp;nbsp;C&amp;nbsp;yr&amp;minus;1, all of which require an approximate equimolar alkalinity release. These neutralized carbon addition scenarios have minimal impacts on the simulated marine carbon cycle and atmospheric CO2, thereby demonstrating safe and effective ocean carbon storage. This deglacial phenomenon could serve as a natural analog to the successful implementation of gigaton-scale ocean alkalinity enhancement, a promising marine carbon dioxide removal method.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  534. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Plastics show the strongest production growth of all bulk materials over the last decade. The industry&amp;rsquo;s current growth trajectory is exponential and plastic production is expected to double or triple by 2050. The rapidly increasing production of plastics and the continued reliance on fossil fuels for production, have contributed to numerous environmental problems and health harms. As a result, plastic pollution has become an increasing threat to natural ecosystems, human health and climate. However, there is a lack of granularity on the contribution of the primary plastics specifically to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their impact on the remaining global carbon budget needed to stay below a 1.5&amp;deg;C or 2&amp;deg;C global average temperature rise. The authors explore the contribution of primary plastic production to climate change disaggregated by polymer and technology.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The gap in climate finance has implications beyond sustainable development and humanitarian needs. Further, investments in climate adaptation and resilience are essential for addressing the security implications of climate change, helping reduce risks and vulnerabilities, and helping build more stable and secure societies.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  697. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors say there is an increase in energy consumption for training large language models but not on their deployment. At the same time, advances in accelerated computing have moderated the overall growth in energy consumption relative to computational performance. The adoption of AI is shown to bring energy efficiency benefits to the economy. While data centers could potentially account for 4% of global energy consumption in 2030, AI is expected to reduce the remaining 96% of energy consumption and accelerate scientific discovery. Recent assessments within the European Union show challenges in science and innovation performance improvement compared to major trading partners, with China leading in volume of scientific publications and the US excelling in quality and impact. AI adoption by scientists is essential to maintaining European scientific leadership.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  699. &lt;blockquote&gt;To better understand climate vulnerabilities and how to address them, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) conducted a three-year Merced study in partnership with Merced Irrigation District (MID) as a proof of concept to explore the effectiveness of Flood-MAR (Managed Aquiver Recharge) to concurrently reduce flood risk, improve water supply, and enhance ecosystems in the Merced River watershed, a tributary to the San Joaquin River. The Merced study is an exploratory watershed-scale analysis to develop and test analytical methods and models, assess climate change vulnerability, and evaluate adaptation strategies meeting multiple benefits that achieve these shared objectives; assess watershed vulnerability to climate change for flood protection, water supply, and ecosystems; develop Flood-MAR strategies reflecting a range of operational complexity and infrastructure improvements; quantitatively evaluate the performance of Flood-MAR strategies in providing multi-sector benefits and climate resilience.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  701. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors outline the key challenges facing policymakers ahead of this year's "Spring Meetings" of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, particularly in the context of food security challenges, global instability, and gaps in climate finance. The gap in climate finance has implications beyond sustainable development and humanitarian needs. Further, investments in climate adaptation and resilience are essential for addressing the security implications of climate change, helping reduce risks and vulnerabilities, and helping build more stable and secure societies.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  703. &lt;blockquote&gt;Record heat, hurricanes, and wildfires all have been making news in recent years. While not everyone agrees events like these are the direct result of climate change, they do connect to peoples' opinions about it: a big majority of Americans feel the U.S. needs to address climate change, with those who report experiencing extreme weather more likely to say we should do so right now. Views on climate change have long been associated with partisanship, and they still are, but age is a factor, too. Younger Americans, including younger Republicans, are even more likely to say the U.S. needs to take steps to at least try to slow it. There's a sense of urgency from many in the public\, too. A large majority think it needs to be addressed at least in the next few years, including half who think it needs to be addressed right now. There is the sense that we should address climate change, and there's also some belief that we can. That extends down to the personal level, too. Most Americans believe humans can do something to at least slow the effects of climate change, and those who think so feel they have a responsibility to do something about it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  705. &lt;blockquote&gt;Plastics show the strongest production growth of all bulk materials over the last decade. The industry&amp;rsquo;s current growth trajectory is exponential and plastic production is expected to double or triple by 2050. The rapidly increasing production of plastics and the continued reliance on fossil fuels for production, have contributed to numerous environmental problems and health harms. As a result, plastic pollution has become an increasing threat to natural ecosystems, human health and climate. However, there is a lack of granularity on the contribution of the primary plastics specifically to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their impact on the remaining global carbon budget needed to stay below a 1.5&amp;deg;C or 2&amp;deg;C global average temperature rise. The authors explore the contribution of primary plastic production to climate change disaggregated by polymer and technology.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  707. &lt;blockquote&gt;While focusing on a comprehensive overview of climate conditions in Europe, the authors also look at conditions for the Arctic and provide an overview of the global context. They provide a detailed analysis, with descriptions of climate conditions, key events, and their impacts, and explore the associated variations in key climate variables from across the Earth system. For 2023, a discussion of climate policy and action with a focus on human health is also included.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  709. &lt;blockquote&gt;Climate change is already having serious impacts on the safety and health of workers in all regions of the world. Workers are among those most exposed to climate change hazards yet frequently have no choice but to continue working, even if conditions are dangerous. Global occupational safety and health (OSH) protections have struggled to keep up with the evolving risks of climate change, resulting in worker mortality and morbidity. Billions of workers are exposed to hazards exacerbated by climate change. Workers across different sectors are exposed to these hazards but some workers, such as agricultural workers and other outdoor workers carrying out heavy labor in hot climates, may be particularly at risk. Strong evidence demonstrates that numerous health conditions in workers have been linked to climate change, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory illnesses, kidney dysfunction, and mental health conditions, among many others. Every year, an estimated 22.85 million occupational injuries, 18,970 deaths, and 2.09 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are attributable to excessive heat alone. Thousands more die from pesticide poisoning (&amp;gt;300,000), workplace air pollution (&amp;gt;860,000), solar UV radiation (&amp;gt;18,960 due to non-melanoma skin cancer alone), and parasitic and vector-borne diseases (&amp;gt;15,170). Many countries have implemented new laws to specifically address excessive heat in the working environment. These primarily include maximum temperature limits and guidelines for adaptive measures at the workplace level. For other climate change impacts, protections for workers are mainly integrated into existing OSH or environmental regulations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  711. &lt;blockquote&gt;The author examines climate strategies and actions in Middle East/North Africa states by evaluating gaps and challenges and provides recommendations for policymakers, partners, and the international community to bolster adaptation, mitigation, and resilience efforts in a fragile region on the frontlines of climate change.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  713. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors provide the status of key climate indicators and the latest data and information on impacts, risks, and policy from United Nations agencies. They address specific physical science, socio-economic, and policy aspects that are relevant to Asia and respond to individual country's needs in the fields of climate monitoring, climate change, and climate services.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  715. &lt;blockquote&gt;California has proposed comprehensive and science-driven nature-based solutions (NBS) climate targets. These solutions harness the power of nature to remove and store carbon from the atmosphere, buffer climate impacts, and build California&amp;rsquo;s resilience to future climate driven extremes.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  717. &lt;blockquote&gt;The report, which is the first to comprehensively study international transport of carbon dioxide, makes several original contributions. First, it highlights the current legal uncertainties involving the cross-border shipping of carbon dioxide for sequestration. Second, it illustrates how market-based mechanisms under the Paris Climate Agreement do and do not relate to carbon dioxide shipping and sequestration, and the need for clarification. Third, the report provides a detailed analysis of the domestic U.S. laws applicable to the cross-border shipping and sequestration of carbon dioxide, and analyzes the legal consequences of the construction of a pier (or jetty) to enable the receipt of carbon dioxide shipped from overseas. Finally, liability regimes studied go beyond maritime conventions to include contractual liability and U.S. admiralty and maritime jurisdiction.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  719. &lt;h3&gt;Obtaining articles without journal subscriptions&lt;/h3&gt;
  720. &lt;p&gt;We know it's frustrating that many articles we cite here are not free to read. One-off paid access fees are generally astronomically priced, suitable for such as &lt;em&gt;"&lt;a href="https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol2-trans/100" target="_blank"&gt;On a Heuristic Point of View Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light&lt;/a&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;but not as a gamble on unknowns. With a median world income of US$ 9,373, for most of us US$ 42 is significant money to wager on an article's relevance and importance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  721. &lt;ul&gt;
  722. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/competitions/finding-and-accessing-scientific-papers"&gt;Here's an excellent collection&lt;/a&gt; of tips and techniques for obtaining articles, legally.&lt;/li&gt;
  723. &lt;/ul&gt;
  724. &lt;ul&gt;
  725. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://unpaywall.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Unpaywall&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;offers a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically indicates when an article is freely accessible and provides immediate access without further trouble. Unpaywall is also unscammy, works well, is itself offered free to use. The organizers (a legitimate nonprofit) report about a 50% success rate&lt;/li&gt;
  726. &lt;/ul&gt;
  727. &lt;ul&gt;
  728. &lt;li&gt;The weekly &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; catch is checked against the Unpaywall database with accessible items being flagged. Especially for just-published articles this mechansim may fail. If you're interested in an article title and it is not listed here as "open access," be sure to check the link anyway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  729. &lt;/ul&gt;
  730. &lt;h3&gt;How is &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; assembled?&lt;/h3&gt;
  731. &lt;p&gt;Most articles appearing here are found via&amp;nbsp; RSS feeds from journal publishers, filtered by search terms to produce raw output&amp;nbsp;for assessment of relevance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  732. &lt;p&gt;Relevant articles are then queried against the Unpaywall database, to identify open access articles and expose useful metadata for articles appearing in the database.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  733. &lt;p&gt;The objective of New Research isn't to cast a tinge on scientific results, to color readers' impressions. Hence candidate articles are assessed via two metrics only:&lt;/p&gt;
  734. &lt;ul&gt;
  735. &lt;li&gt;Was an article deemed of sufficient merit by a team of journal editors and peer reviewers? The fact of journal RSS output assigns a "yes" to this automatically.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  736. &lt;li&gt;Is an article relevant to the topic of anthropogenic climate change? Due to filter overlap with other publication topics of inquiry, of a typical week's 550 or so input articles about 1/4 of RSS output makes the cut.&lt;/li&gt;
  737. &lt;/ul&gt;
  738. &lt;p&gt;A few journals offer public access to "preprint" versions of articles for which the review process is not yet complete. For some key journals this all the mention we'll see in RSS feeds, so we include such items in &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt;. These are flagged as "preprint."&lt;/p&gt;
  739. &lt;p&gt;The section "Informed opinion, nudges &amp;amp; major initiatives" includes some items that are not scientific research per se but fall instead into the category of "perspectives," observations of implications of research findings, areas needing attention, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
  740. &lt;h3&gt;Suggestions&lt;/h3&gt;
  741. &lt;p&gt;Please let us know if you're aware of an article you think may be of interest for Skeptical Science research news, or if we've missed something that may be important. Send your input to Skeptical Science via our &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/contact.php"&gt;contact form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  742. &lt;h3&gt;Journals covered&lt;/h3&gt;
  743. &lt;p&gt;A list of journals we cover may be found &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/Skeptical-Science-New-Research-Source-Journals.shtml"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. We welcome pointers to omissions, new journals etc.&lt;/p&gt;

  750. <title>Water is at the heart of farmers’ struggle to survive in Benin</title>
  751. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/04/water-is-at-the-heart-of-farmers-struggle-to-survive-in-benin/"&gt;re-post from Yale Climate Connections by Megan Val&amp;eacute;re Sosou&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  752. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="attachment-newspack-featured-image size-newspack-featured-image wp-post-image" src="https://i0.wp.com/yaleclimateconnections.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Screenshot-2024-04-19-at-1.24.34-PM.png?fit=1164%2C870&amp;amp;ssl=1" alt="A photo of rows of plants that are climbing up stakes in the ground." width="550" height="411" data-hero-candidate="1" /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Market gardening site of the Itch&amp;egrave;l&amp;eacute;r&amp;eacute; de Itagui agricultural cooperative in Dassa-Zoum&amp;egrave; (Image credit: Megan Val&amp;egrave;re Sossou)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  753. &lt;div class="entry-content"&gt;
  754. &lt;p class="has-drop-cap has-text-align-justify"&gt;For the residents of Dassa-Zoum&amp;egrave;, a city in the West African country of Benin, choosing between drinking water and having enough food has become a worrying dilemma.&lt;/p&gt;
  755. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;&amp;ldquo;Last year, our horticultural production plummeted due to water scarcity,&amp;rdquo; said Chantal Agbangla, a farmer residing in Soclogbo, a town located about 30 minutes by car from the capital of Dassa-Zoum&amp;eacute;. &amp;ldquo;We had to travel nine kilometers to find water, mainly for our agricultural and domestic needs.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  756. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;Family farming, a pillar of the economy in Dassa-Zoum&amp;egrave;, is more threatened than ever by climate change. Small-scale farms cover only about 2% of cultivable land in the area of Dassa-Zoum&amp;eacute;, and their very survival seems threatened because water has become an increasingly precious commodity. Residents can no longer rely on the rainy season, as the irregularity of precipitation has made it an unreliable water source. Instead, they have embraced agroecological horticulture as a contingency plan against climate change. Agroecology emphasizes&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.actioncontrelafaim.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/3.-Water-management-in-agroecology-VF.pdf"&gt;sustainable farming practices&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that prioritize water retention in the soil, making this type of farming more resistant to drought.&lt;/p&gt;
  757. &lt;!--more--&gt;
  758. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;How climate change is affecting Benin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  759. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;Benin is already facing climate change impacts like long periods of drought followed by intense downpours resulting in flooding. Despite its marginal contribution to heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions, representing only 0.05% of the global total, Benin is among the nations&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.banquemondiale.org/fr/country/benin/publication/benin-country-climate-and-development-report"&gt;most vulnerable&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
  760. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;&amp;ldquo;The commune of Dassa experiences extreme rainfall variability, exacerbated by climate change.&amp;rdquo; Said Romanic OGOUWALE, a professor and researcher in geography specializing in climatology at the University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin&amp;rsquo;s principal public university. &amp;ldquo;A situation aggravated by rising temperatures and decreasing water resources in recent times.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  761. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;In 2010, the country experienced severe flooding that affected crop production. In response to these challenges, the Beninese government is actively engaged in the implementation of strategies to reduce the country&amp;rsquo;s contribution to climate change and adapt to its effects, including providing farmers with short-cycle crop seeds that can be harvested every two months like corn, soy, peanuts, beans.&lt;/p&gt;
  762. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-justify"&gt;How women are responding&lt;/h4&gt;
  763. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;In Benin, women are increasingly involved in the creation of agricultural cooperatives to promote empowerment and engagement, as women play a crucial role in the agricultural sector. Like other regions of the country, in Dassa-Zoum&amp;egrave;, several women&amp;rsquo;s agricultural cooperatives offer help to local farmers, such as the Itch&amp;egrave;l&amp;eacute;r&amp;eacute; agricultural cooperative in Dassa.&lt;/p&gt;
  764. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;&amp;ldquo;Even traditionally humid areas now suffer from drought,&amp;rdquo; said Yves GBEDJI from the Itch&amp;eacute;l&amp;eacute;r&amp;eacute; agricultural cooperative in Dassa-Zoum&amp;egrave;. &amp;ldquo;We must seek alternative water sources, sometimes traveling long distances to obtain it.&amp;rdquo; The LIFO and Olodjo rivers can supply water, but they are more than five kilometers away from these rural populations, making them difficult to access, especially without transport.&lt;/p&gt;
  765. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;Women are often faced with the dilemma of having to choose between using water for household chores such as washing dishes and laundry, or for irrigating their vegetable crops.&lt;/p&gt;
  766. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;&amp;ldquo;At times, we are forced to use water intended for our domestic needs to irrigate our horticultural crops, leading to conflicts within households,&amp;rdquo; said Chantal Agbangla.&lt;/p&gt;
  767. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;&amp;ldquo;The commune of Dassa experiences extreme rainfall variability, exacerbated by climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
  768. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;A situation aggravated by rising temperatures and decreasing water resources in recent times.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  769. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;Jos&amp;eacute;phine KOBA is one of the many women turning to horticulture. She is in her forties, a mother of five children and is involved in the Itch&amp;egrave;l&amp;eacute;r&amp;eacute; de Itagui agricultural cooperative in Dassa-Zoum&amp;egrave;. She is a trainer at the cooperative on the production of compost from agricultural waste. &amp;ldquo;With the instability of the rainy season, we opted for horticulture to provide food year-round, especially in the dry season,&amp;rdquo; she said. &amp;ldquo;We grow tomatoes, peppers, vegetables, okra, and many other essential products.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  770. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;Before agroecological practices were implemented, most crops were produced with chemical fertilizers. Now, locally made compost feeds these crops. However, access to water remains a major obstacle, especially in areas where the granite rock bed makes well construction difficult.&lt;/p&gt;
  771. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Building wells&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  772. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;Several projects and programs have been launched to help these vulnerable populations of Dassa Zoum&amp;egrave;, particularly young people and women of Soclogbo, better cope with climate change. One recent project enabled farmers to install wells for irrigation, said Yves GBEDJI, a 30-year-old local farmer. The well program is funded by the Dutch Embassy in Benin. It aims to improve the food and nutritional security of rural populations through increasing agricultural productivity and increasing income.&lt;/p&gt;
  773. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;&amp;ldquo;As for the Benkadi project, it trained us in sustainable techniques such as reforestation, building ditches, and rational water resource management,&amp;rdquo; said GBEDJI. The Benkadi project is led by a consortium of civil society organizations grouped in four different West African countries including Benin, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and Mali with a Dutch partner, Woord end Daad. This project aims to strengthen the resilience and adaptation of local populations in the face of climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
  774. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;What&amp;rsquo;s next?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  775. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;This quest for water affects vulnerable individuals in rural communities of Dassa-Zoum&amp;egrave;, notably children, women, people with disabilities, and young people.&lt;/p&gt;
  776. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;For Marie Odile HOUNTONDJI, gender and social inclusion expert with the Benkadi project of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://pascibenin.org/plaidoyer/pascib-engagement-mission-et-objectifs/"&gt;the Civil Society Actors Platform in Benin&lt;/a&gt;, more vulnerable individuals should be involved in the conversations about how to face this problem. The objective, she said, is to achieve inclusive efforts to reduce the effects of climate change, especially in agriculture.&lt;/p&gt;
  777. &lt;p class="has-text-align-justify"&gt;As the residents of Dassa-Zoum&amp;egrave; struggle daily to access water, vital for their survival and that of their crops, one truth remains evident: In the face of the urgency posed by climate change, their resilience and determination stand as their most valuable assets.&lt;/p&gt;

  793. <title>India makes a big bet on electric buses</title>
  794. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/04/india-makes-a-big-bet-on-electric-buses/"&gt;re-post from Yale Climate Connections by Sarah Spengeman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  795. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="attachment-newspack-featured-image size-newspack-featured-image wp-post-image" src="https://i0.wp.com/yaleclimateconnections.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/424-india-electric-bus.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;amp;ssl=1" alt="A group of people waiting by the side of a road as a bus pulls up" width="550" height="367" data-hero-candidate="1" /&gt;&lt;em&gt;People wait to board an electric bus in Pune, India. (Image credit: courtesy of ITDP)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  796. &lt;div class="main-content"&gt;
  797. &lt;div class="entry-content"&gt;
  798. &lt;p class="has-drop-cap"&gt;Public transportation riders in Pune, India, love the city&amp;rsquo;s new electric buses so much they will actually skip an older diesel bus that arrives earlier to wait for a smoother, cooler ride in a new model. This has fed a new problem: overcrowding. Fortunately, more new buses are on the way.&lt;/p&gt;
  799. &lt;p&gt;Last fall, India&amp;rsquo;s Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs launched a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-08-16/india-approves-7-billion-plan-to-electrify-public-transport"&gt;$7 billion initiative&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to support 10,000 new electric buses in 169 Indian cities. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://mohua.gov.in/upload/uploadfiles/files/PM-eBus-Sewa-Guidelines-Part-I.pdf"&gt;PM-eBus Sewa&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;program prioritizes small to medium-sized cities of up to 4 million people, particularly those now lacking organized bus service. India hopes this will make public transport &amp;mdash; not private vehicles &amp;mdash; integral to sustainable urban growth and city culture in the country that last year&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.un.org/development/desa/dpad/publication/un-desa-policy-brief-no-153-india-overtakes-china-as-the-worlds-most-populous-country/"&gt;overtook China&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to become the world&amp;rsquo;s most populous nation.&lt;/p&gt;
  800. &lt;p&gt;India&amp;rsquo;s burgeoning cities are expected to be home to an estimated&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/understanding-indias-urban-future#:~:text=Through%20natural%20growth%2C%20urban%20migration,with%20less%20than%20500%2C000%20people."&gt;416 million more people by&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/understanding-indias-urban-future#:~:text=Through%20natural%20growth%2C%20urban%20migration,with%20less%20than%20500%2C000%20people."&gt;2050&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;mdash; the largest urban increase in the world. Massive growth could worsen both traffic congestion and air quality in a country that already has&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.iqair.com/us/world-most-polluted-cities"&gt;nine of the 10&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;most polluted cities on the planet and ranks&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://theicct.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Global_health_impacts_transport_emissions_2010-2015_20190226.pdf"&gt;second&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in deaths related to transportation pollution.&lt;/p&gt;
  801. &lt;p&gt;But more traffic and pollution is not inevitable, since India has yet to build&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.urbanet.info/urbanisation-in-india-infographics/"&gt;70 to 80%&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of city infrastructure that will be needed by 2050. The government initiative aims to make clean, electrified public transportation the norm.&lt;/p&gt;
  802. &lt;p&gt;PM-eBus Sewa (Sewa means &amp;ldquo;service&amp;rdquo; in Hindi) will also invest in infrastructure like bus depots, interchange facilities, advanced fare collection systems, and fleet charging facilities. New, holistic transport systems in these rapidly developing cities will also create economic opportunities, giving all residents access to affordable, reliable transportation to travel to work or school.&lt;/p&gt;
  803. &lt;p&gt;Electric buses require a larger upfront investment even though they are cheaper than diesel buses over their lifetimes due to lower fuel and maintenance costs. Therefore, PM-eBus Sewa will focus on smaller cities with fewer financial resources. It also will use an innovative funding mechanism called a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.itdp.in/an-analysis-of-e-bus-procurement-in-india/"&gt;gross cost contract&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;model, which has already succeeded in several Indian cities. The local transportation authority contracts with a private company that owns the bus, often the manufacturer, to operate the bus and handle maintenance, charging, and staffing over a set time period. This allows cities to pay for buses over a longer term rather than all at once.&lt;/p&gt;
  804. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;India&amp;rsquo;s cities do want to run bus services but do not have funds for sustained bus operations,&amp;rdquo; explained Surendra Kumar Bagde, additional secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs at the International Council on Clean Transportation&amp;rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://theicct.org/event/india-clean-transportation-summit-aug23/"&gt;Clean Transport Summit&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in New Delhi last August. &amp;ldquo;PM-ebus Sewa gives this sustained bus operations support.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  805. &lt;!--more--&gt;
  806. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Public health benefits of electric buses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  807. &lt;p&gt;In India, transportation is the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-29620-x"&gt;third-largest source&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of emissions, after power generation and industry. The transition to electric vehicles will cut planet-heating emissions, but this alone will not achieve the country&amp;rsquo;s climate goals.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.itdp.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/CCSE-Roadmaps_India-FF.pdf"&gt;Recent research&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;from the nonprofit Institute for Transportation and Development Policy finds that India must shift 50% of projected travel to public transportation, walking, and biking by 2050 to cut transportation emissions in line with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Electrifying buses focuses government investments on shared transport, supporting compact cities that put people&amp;rsquo;s needs ahead of cars. Experts at the International Council on Clean Transportation India provided&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://theicct.org/publication/testing-the-pollutant-emissions-and-fuel-efficiency-of-a-commercial-bus-in-india/"&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;demonstrating that electric buses also will improve air quality, which should cut respiratory problems and benefit public health.&lt;/p&gt;
  808. &lt;p&gt;In the fall of 2021 and spring of 2022, the International Council on Clean Transportation also conducted a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://theicct.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Maharashtra-e-buses_FINAL.pdf"&gt;survey&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in three cities &amp;mdash; Mumbai, Pune, and Navi Mumbai &amp;mdash; that were early adopters of electric buses in the western state of Maharashtra. Mumbai&amp;rsquo;s first six electric buses hit the roads in 2017 and then an additional 40 in 2019. Pune was able to start with 150 in 2019, using&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://smartcities.gov.in/"&gt;Smart Cities Mission&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;funds, a national program to support sustainable development. And Navi Mumbai also started its e-bus service with 150 e-buses in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
  809. &lt;p&gt;In conversations with 21 individuals, representing transit authorities, depot managers, and bus operators, the researchers heard overwhelming support for electric buses, citing multiple benefits over fossil-fueled buses. Transit authorities reported that electric buses required less maintenance time while being just as reliable as other buses. Santosh Patil, a driver from Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://theicct.org/electric-buses-improving-operations-aug22/"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;driving the e-bus is much less stressful because it doesn&amp;rsquo;t require frequent gear shifting in heavy traffic and is easier on the knees and back. He pointed out the e-bus is also free from the vibration, noise, and heat generated by fossil-fueled buses.&lt;/p&gt;
  810. &lt;p&gt;As for passengers, in April 2022, the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy conducted a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.itdp.in/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Guidance-for-e-Bus-Rollout-in-Indian-Cities.pdf"&gt;survey&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Pune, finding that 78% preferred to ride electric buses over their fossil-fueled counterparts. The survey found riders prefer the smoother, less-noisy ride as well as the air-conditioning. Buses in Pune also operate on a bus rapid transit system, which provides buses with dedicated lanes and other features that make bus travel faster and easier than car travel &amp;mdash; key to making public transport the default choice.&lt;/p&gt;
  811. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Big bus ambitions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  812. &lt;p&gt;In 2015, there were only&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://theicct.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Maharashtra-e-buses_FINAL.pdf"&gt;three electric buses&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;registered in India. Now there are&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://vahan.parivahan.gov.in/vahan4dashboard/vahan/vahan/view/reportview.xhtml"&gt;7,757&lt;/a&gt;. Maharashtra state accounted for about 25% of e-buses operated in India as of February 2024 and is in the process of procuring 5,150 e-buses &amp;mdash; the second-largest e-bus tender in the country.&lt;/p&gt;
  813. &lt;p&gt;After announcing the PM-eBus Sewa policy, the national government set a goal of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.energymonitor.ai/news/signal-indias-plan-for-50000-electric-buses-gets-us-support/?cf-view"&gt;50,000&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;new electric buses deployed by 2027.&lt;/p&gt;
  814. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;India is undergoing a remarkable transition to electric mobility in public transport,&amp;rdquo; said Vaishali Singh, who leads the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy&amp;rsquo;s bus electrification work in India, in an email. &amp;ldquo;But the real challenge lies ahead,&amp;rdquo; she noted. Transit authorities must rethink bus system planning and operations to account for charging needs, changes to maintenance, and worker training.&lt;/p&gt;
  815. &lt;p&gt;Another challenge: India has more than&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.itdp.in/accelerating-electrification-of-private-buses/"&gt;2 million private buses&lt;/a&gt;, including charter buses for tourists. Late last year, Indian media&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/renewables/govt-charts-plan-to-paint-800k-diesel-buses-green-scheme-likely-to-replace-fame-iii/articleshow/106362319.cms?from=mdr"&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that the government plans to replace 800,000 diesel buses with electric ones over the next seven years through the next phase of its electrification subsidy. The plan calls for 550,000 new private e-buses, 200,000 e-buses for public transport, and 50,000 for schools.&lt;/p&gt;
  816. &lt;p&gt;If achieved, that would make India an undisputed leader in e-bus deployment and drive major growth of its domestic electric vehicle manufacturing. If this happens, by 2050, India may no longer be considered a &amp;ldquo;developing&amp;rdquo; country, but a global example of sustainable development with clean air, livable cities.&lt;/p&gt;
  817. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sarah Spengeman is communications deputy director at the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://cruxalliance.org/"&gt;Crux Alliance&lt;/a&gt;, which was established in 2018 to support the rapid implementation of ambitious, cutting-edge climate policies.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  818. &lt;/div&gt;

  824. <title>At a glance - Clearing up misconceptions regarding 'hide the decline'</title>
  825. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;On February 14, 2023 we announced our &lt;a href="https://sks.to/at-a-glance" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebuttal Update Project&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This included an &lt;strong&gt;ask for feedback&lt;/strong&gt; about the added "At a glance" section in the updated basic rebuttal versions. This weekly blog post series highlights this new section of one of the updated basic rebuttal versions and serves as a "bump" for our ask. This week features "&lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/Mikes-Nature-trick-hide-the-decline-basic.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Clearing up misconceptions regarding 'hide the decline'&lt;/a&gt;". More will follow in the upcoming weeks. Please follow the Further Reading link at the bottom to read the full rebuttal and to join the discussion in the comment thread there.&lt;/p&gt;
  826. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://sks.to/decline" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="https://skepticalscience.com/pics/FactMythBoxes-Decline-570px.jpg" alt="Fact-Myth-Box" width="570" height="353" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  827. &lt;h2&gt;At a glance&lt;/h2&gt;
  828. &lt;p&gt;It's been many years since 'climategate' - when in 2009, the email server at the Climate Research Unit, University of East Anglia, was hacked. The unidentified hacker helped themselves to thousands of emails. These were sifted through and a selection was in due course made available for public download on a Russian server.&lt;/p&gt;
  829. &lt;p&gt;What followed was typical of the tactics used in the campaign to deny the existence of human-caused climate change and is illustrative for that reason. A lot of this manufactured controversy centred on one email, written by Dr Phil Jones, in which the following sentence was picked out and trumpeted all over the media:&lt;/p&gt;
  830. &lt;blockquote&gt;"I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  831. &lt;p&gt;"Gotcha!", the deniers proclaimed.&lt;/p&gt;
  832. &lt;p&gt;Climategate was marketed to the public by encouraging them to take such sentences at face value - without any idea of what they actually meant. The notion being planted was that climate scientists were busy covering up declining temperatures.&lt;/p&gt;
  833. &lt;p&gt;It meant nothing of the sort. The people in that email were not talking about temperatures. They were talking about tree-rings.&lt;/p&gt;
  834. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Mike's Nature trick"&lt;/strong&gt; referred to a technique described in a 1998 Nature paper. The paper presented a 600 year-long global temperature reconstruction by Michael Mann and colleagues. Michael has long used tree-ring growth patterns in ancient wood to reconstruct conditions at the time those rings formed. The basic idea is that in cold, dry years, trees grow more slowly so their rings are relatively narrow and densely-spaced. In warm wet years, it's the opposite.&lt;/p&gt;
  835. &lt;p&gt;The "trick" is the technique of plotting recent instrumental data - in other words direct temperature measurements - alongside the reconstructed tree-ring data for the time they overlap. Why? Because it's one way of checking if the reconstructed tree-ring data are a good proxy for temperatures of the past. It therefore makes entire sense to run such checks. Now to the 'decline'. What declined?&lt;/p&gt;
  836. &lt;p&gt;Beyond a certain point on the timeline, around 1960, the temperature reconstructions based on some tree-ring data fell away and downwards from observed thermometer records. They declined from reality. This only happened with certain tree-ring datasets from specific places. Known as the 'divergence problem', it had been discussed in the scientific literature since the mid 1990s - 15 years before 'climategate'. However, not a lot of people realised that. How lucky for the deniers. "Hide the decline!", they chanted feverishly, to anybody who would listen.&lt;/p&gt;
  837. &lt;p&gt;Everything that occurs in the physical world has a cause. The divergence of temperature reconstructions, based on tree-ring growth, from the observational temperature record is a case in point. The loss of tree-ring sensitivity to temperatures kicked in around 1960. It only affected certain tree-species at certain locations. However, in those cases the post-1960 tree-ring datasets do not reflect the actual conditions. In other words, the data are useless. That's the decline for you. Much ado about nothing.&lt;/p&gt;

These damages already outweigh the mitigation costs required to limit global warming to 2&amp;thinsp;&amp;deg;C by sixfold over this near-term time frame and thereafter diverge strongly dependent on emission choices.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1116. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1125. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1126. &lt;p&gt;The paper's results will be refined, inevitably. With passing time the empirical, already-experienced evidence the paper relies upon to establish its projections will increasingly include measurable economic impact.&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile other researchers will doubtless be inspired to improve on this effort, "w&lt;em&gt;hat if the authors are incorrect?"&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;being a reasonable question to ask. Equally it's reasonable to ask &lt;em&gt;"how wrong can they be?"&lt;/em&gt; Even supposing that the unfolding truth reveals the authors have delivered a 50% overshoot, 19 trillion dollars is not a trivial amount of economic opportunity to lose. Our ultimate truth may also include underestimation. For the time being, Stanford University's&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://sustainability.stanford.edu/people/marshall-burke" target="_blank"&gt;Marshall Burke&lt;/a&gt; may have the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://apnews.com/article/climate-change-damage-economy-income-costly-3e21addee3fe328f38b771645e237ff9" target="_blank"&gt;best assessment&lt;/a&gt; of this paper, for guiding our path forward: &lt;em&gt;"I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t put a ton of weight on their specific numerical estimates, but I think the big picture is basically right." &lt;/em&gt;Marshall seems suitably cautious; when starting at&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;$38T/year, plus or minus a lot still ends up as a big deal. The big picture includes that we have other urgent needs for funds on this scale and can't afford accidental (or intentional) wasted opportunity costs of this magnitude. Procrastination on dealing with our climate problem loses us important options.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  1191. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-45906-8" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span id="skstip57" class="skstip advanced disabled"&gt;Glacial isostatic adjustment&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;reduces past and future Arctic subsea&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip58" class="skstip advanced disabled"&gt;permafrost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, Creel et al.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nature Communications:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1192. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1193. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sea-level rise submerges terrestrial permafrost in the Arctic, turning it into subsea permafrost. Subsea permafrost underlies&amp;thinsp;~&amp;thinsp;1.8 million km2&amp;nbsp;of Arctic continental shelf, with thicknesses in places exceeding 700 m. Sea-level variations over glacial-interglacial cycles control subsea permafrost distribution and thickness, yet no permafrost model has accounted for glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), which deviates local sea level from the global mean due to changes in ice and ocean loading. Here we incorporate GIA into a pan-Arctic model of subsea permafrost over the last 400,000 years. Including GIA significantly reduces present-day subsea permafrost thickness, chiefly because of hydro-isostatic effects as well as deformation related to Northern Hemisphere ice sheets. Additionally, we extend the simulation 1000 years into the future for emissions scenarios outlined in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change&amp;rsquo;s sixth assessment report. We find that subsea permafrost is preserved under a low emissions scenario but mostly disappears under a high emissions scenario.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1194. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1195. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11625-024-01486-6" target="_blank"&gt;How do we reinforce&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="skstip212" class="skstip beginner disabled"&gt;climate&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;action?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;, Zhao et al.,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sustainability Science:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1196. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  1197. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Humanity has a shrinking window to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, yet climate action is still lacking on both individual and policy levels. We argue that this is because behavioral interventions have largely neglected the basic principles of operant conditioning as one set of tools to promote collective climate action. In this perspective, we propose an operant conditioning framework that uses rewards and punishments to shape transportation, food, waste, housing, and civic actions. This framework highlights the value of reinforcement in encouraging the switch to low-emission behavior, while also considering the benefit of decreasing high-emission behavior to expedite the transition.

  1201. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The impacts on marine species from secular warming and heatwaves are well demonstrated; however, the impacts of extreme cold events are poorly understood. Here we link the death of organisms from 81 species to an intense cold upwelling event in the Agulhas Current, and show trends of increasing frequency and intensification of upwelling in the Agulhas Current and East Australian Current. Using electronic tagging, we illustrate the potential impacts of upwelling events on the movement behaviour of bull sharks&amp;nbsp;Carcharhinus leucas, including alterations of migratory patterns and maintenance of shallower dive profiles when transiting through upwelling cells. Increasing upwelling could result in &amp;lsquo;bait and switch&amp;rsquo; situations, where climate change expands subtropical species&amp;rsquo; distribution, while simultaneously exposing climate migrants to an increased risk of cold-mortality events at poleward distributional limits. This shows the potential impacts of increased cold events, an understudied aspect of climate change research, and highlights the complexities of climate change effects on marine ecosystems.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  1208. &lt;p id="sp0005"&gt;&lt;em&gt;How high should we build a dyke today, knowing that it will serve for more than 50&amp;nbsp;years? This depends on the probability distribution of future temperatures. We review the literature on estimates of future emissions for current/stated policy scenarios and current pledge scenarios. Reviewing expert elicitations, abatement costs of scenarios, learning rates of technologies, fossil fuel supply side dynamics and geoengineering, we argue that scenarios with emissions largely beyond current/stated policy scenarios and largely below current pledge scenarios are relatively unlikely. Based on this, we develop a literature-informed evaluation of the likelihoods of future temperature for use in Value at Risk stress tests in 2030, 2050 and 2100&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  1215. &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Estimates of global economic damage from climate change assess the effect of annual temperature changes. However, the roles of precipitation, temperature variability and extreme events are not yet known. Here, by combining projections of climate models with empirical dose&amp;ndash;response functions translating shifts in temperature means and variability, rainfall patterns and extreme precipitation into economic damage, we show that at +3&amp;thinsp;&amp;deg;C global average losses reach 10% of gross domestic product, with worst effects (up to 17%) in poorer, low-latitude countries. Relative to annual temperature damage, the additional impacts of projecting variability and extremes are smaller and dominated by interannual variability, especially at lower latitudes. However, accounting for variability and extremes when estimating the temperature dose&amp;ndash;response function raises global economic losses by nearly two percentage points and exacerbates economic tail risks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  1219. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Despite promising momentum, the world&amp;rsquo;s operating coal power capacity has grown 11% since 2015 and global coal use and coal capacity reached an all time high in 2023. The global coal fleet grew by 48.4 gigawatts (GW), or 2%, in 2023 to a total of 2,130 GW, with China driving two-thirds of additions. Outside of China, the coal fleet also saw a small 4.7 GW uptick for the first time since 2019. Although new retirement plans and phaseout commitments continued to emerge, less coal capacity was retired in 2023 than in any other single year in more than a decade. Globally, 69.5 GW of capacity came online while 21.1 GW was retired, resulting in a net annual increase of 48.4 GW, the highest since 2016, bringing the global total capacity to 2,130 GW. China&amp;rsquo;s 70.2 GW of new construction starts in 2023 represents 19x more than the rest of the world&amp;rsquo;s 3.7 GW and is the country&amp;rsquo;s highest annual capacity breaking ground since 2015. Outside of China and India, total proposed coal capacity is at its lowest since data collection began in 2015.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1221. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;In this analysis, the authors investigated how the questions people would ask an expert vary across different subgroups, including demographic and political groups and Global Warming&amp;rsquo;s Six Americas. The Six Americas framework categorizes people into six distinct audiences based on their opinions about climate change, ranging from the Alarmed (who are the most worried and supportive of action) to the Dismissive (who do not believe climate change is happening or human caused and are often opposed to action). Americans are most interested in learning about solutions to global warming (44%), followed by evidence that it is happening (20%) or information about the causes (18%). Fewer Americans (11%) would ask first about the impacts of global warming. The topics people would ask about differ across demographic and political groups.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1397. &lt;blockquote&gt;Electric transmission system operators (ISOs, RTOs, or utilities) require projects seeking to connect to the grid to undergo a series of impact studies before they can be built. This process establishes what new transmission equipment or upgrades may be needed before a project can connect to the system and assigns the costs of that equipment. The lists of projects in this process are known as &amp;ldquo;interconnection queues&amp;rdquo;. The authors compile and analyze interconnection queue data from all seven ISOs/RTOs alongside 44 non-ISO utilities, which collectively represent over 95% of the currently installed U.S. electric generating capacity. The total capacity active in the queues is growing year-over-year, with over 1,570 GW of generation and an estimated 1,030 GW of storage capacity as of the end of 2023. In total, over 1,480 GW of zero-carbon generating capacity is currently seeking transmission access. Solar (1,086 GW) accounts for the largest share of generation capacity in the queues. Substantial wind (366 GW) capacity is also seeking interconnection, 1/3 of which is for offshore projects (120 GW). Solar and battery storage are &amp;ndash; by far &amp;ndash; the fastest-growing resources in the queues. Combined, they account for over 80% of new capacity entering the queues in 2023.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Annual Energy Storage Deployment Report&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York State Department of Public Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1399. &lt;blockquote&gt;The New York State Public Service Commission's energy storage deployment policy has effectively strengthened the market for developing and installing qualified energy storage systems in New York. Total deployed (396 MW), awarded/contracted (581 MW) projects at the end of March 2024 equaled 977 MW in capacity, or about 65 percent of the 2025 target of 1,500 MW and 33 percent of the 2030 target of 3,000 MW. The number of energy storage projects in various interconnection queues, which reflects some of the awarded or contracted projects noted above and potential projects in the pipeline, also indicates robust activity in the industry. Over 38,000 MW of energy storage projects are presently in New York utility interconnection queues and the New York Independent System Operator interconnection queue, although some of these projects may not be built due to unfavorable project-specific economics and for other reasons.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1401. &lt;blockquote&gt;The Alaska Railbelt utilities face growing challenges because of the declining supply of natural gas from the Cook Inlet and substantial projected price increases. The Railbelt power system extends from Fairbanks through Anchorage to the Kenai Peninsula and consists of five utilities. Renewable energy in the form of wind and solar is a potentially cost-competitive option to reduce reliance on natural gas, which in 2022 provided nearly two-thirds of the Railbelt electricity demand. The authors examine the system-level costs and benefits of increased renewable energy deployment in the Railbelt grid in the context of a proposed 80% renewable portfolio standard (RPS). This work studies the period from 2024 to 2040 and uses a model that simulates the planning, evolution, and operation of the power system to identify the mix of resources that maintains system reliability at the lowest electricity system cost over the period of analysis.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1403. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors explore the fundamental role that future vehicle efficiency improvements&amp;mdash;additional and complementary to electrification&amp;mdash;can play in lessening infrastructure and energy needs and reducing consumer costs. Electrification by itself brings major energy savings and other benefits, but the additional and often-overlooked improvements considered here reduce the amount of electricity needed to power vehicles, which is projected to be a large future load. The authors characterize key automotive technology advances and examines their potential effects from the perspective of consumers, electricity and charging infrastructure providers, and automakers.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1405. &lt;blockquote&gt;Wind and solar farms are by far the cheapest forms of electricity production. For example, electricity from gas-fired power stations is almost 3 times more expensive to produce.?More renewable electricity production can therefore help lower energy bills. It will also reduce carbon emissions as it displaces gas-fired electricity and as transport and heating are electrified. Electrifying heating and transport are essential for meeting the UK&amp;rsquo;s international commitment to cut carbon emissions by 68% by 2030. The UK therefore needs a lot more renewable electricity.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Forest Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1407. &lt;blockquote&gt;North American forests are experiencing unprecedented challenges due to extreme wildfires, pathogen and insect outbreaks, heat stress, drought, rapid development, and invasive species. Exacerbated by climate change, these threats collectively diminish economic values, cultural values, and habitat. Particularly because of fire exclusion, contemporary and historical management policies are root causes of current forest conditions. Coupling Indigenous Knowledge (IK) with Western Science (WS) can catalyze proactive approaches to address threats to NA forests at meaningful scales. The authors recommend the following adaptive strategies to restore forest landscape resilience, adopt proactive stewardship; provide the flexibility to steward for dynamic landscapes and navigate uncertainties under rapidly changing conditions; ground agency planning and land and resource stewardship policies in ethics of reciprocity and responsibility to future generations; catalyze innovative approaches to forest stewardship by effectively funding adaptive forest stewardship and long-term monitoring at stand to landscape scales; and recognize and respect tribal sovereignty and indigenous knowledge.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1409. &lt;blockquote&gt;Despite promising momentum, the world&amp;rsquo;s operating coal power capacity has grown 11% since 2015 and global coal use and coal capacity reached an all time high in 2023. The global coal fleet grew by 48.4 gigawatts (GW), or 2%, in 2023 to a total of 2,130 GW, with China driving two-thirds of additions. Outside of China, the coal fleet also saw a small 4.7 GW uptick for the first time since 2019. Although new retirement plans and phaseout commitments continued to emerge, less coal capacity was retired in 2023 than in any other single year in more than a decade. Globally, 69.5 GW of capacity came online while 21.1 GW was retired, resulting in a net annual increase of 48.4 GW, the highest since 2016, bringing the global total capacity to 2,130 GW. China&amp;rsquo;s 70.2 GW of new construction starts in 2023 represents 19x more than the rest of the world&amp;rsquo;s 3.7 GW and is the country&amp;rsquo;s highest annual capacity breaking ground since 2015. Outside of China and India, total proposed coal capacity is at its lowest since data collection began in 2015.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1411. &lt;blockquote&gt;Bridging the global infrastructure investment gap, especially in Africa, is paramount for achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The investment needs to be associated with the energy transitions and the fight against climate change further increases the financial gap for developing countries. Global Gateway puts principled connectivity at the core of the Europen Union's (EU) external action, linking geoeconomic and climate diplomacy with development policies under a Team Europe approach. Selected projects are to be driven both by the needs of partner countries and the EU&amp;rsquo;s interests. The aim is to mobilize 300 billion euros in investments by 2027 by using public funds to crowd in private investments. The private sector is to play a key role in shaping the Global Gateway actions. It remains to be seen if the Team Europe approach can make a difference at the required scale. Strategic adjustments could further unleash Global Gateway&amp;rsquo;s potential.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1413. &lt;blockquote&gt;The white paper is the result of a high-level discussion carried out at the event &amp;ldquo;Towards a Common Vision of the Climate, Migration, and Security Nexus in the Mediterranean Region,&amp;rdquo; organized by the CGIAR Focus Climate Security and the Alliance of Bioversity &amp;amp; CIAT and held in Rome in June 2023. The discussion collected opinions of scientists, politicians, experts, and representatives of relevant international organizations on the climate-security-mobility nexus in the Mediterranean. The purpose of the discussion was to analyze current and foreseen vulnerabilities, risks, and hazards affecting livelihoods in the region, and identify potential solutions and integrated approaches to increasing climate adaptation capacities, reducing involuntary and unsafe migration, and sustaining peace and stability.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1414. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://pub.climate.win/solargap/" target="_blank"&gt;Closing NY&amp;rsquo;s Rooftop Solar Gap&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;Rajan et al., &lt;strong&gt;Win Climate and Columbia Business School&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1415. &lt;blockquote&gt;New York has a large rooftop solar gap: homeowners with an annual income above $50,000 are 2.5x more likely to have rooftop solar than those making below $50,000, who do not always pay enough income tax to claim the full credit. New York&amp;rsquo;s solar tax credit is inequitable: households making less than $50,000 make up 24% of owner-occupied households in New York State, but have only received 5% of the state&amp;rsquo;s residential tax credit subsidies. Refundable tax credits make solar more affordable: refundable residential tax credits could benefit up to 63% of New York&amp;rsquo;s 1.4 million energy-burdened households, and would cut the cost of solar for the average low-income household by 48%, from $98 to $51 a month.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1417. &lt;blockquote&gt;All aspects of society must be radically transformed to align with the global temperature limits of the Paris Agreement. Much of the political focus has been on the energy transition, however, a food transition is also needed &amp;ndash; especially in highly emitting agricultural commodities from livestock production. The authors identify for the first time a potential Paris-compliant emissions trajectory for the livestock sector by eliciting responses from over 200 climate scientists and sustainable food/ agriculture experts based in 48 countries. Over 90% of participants focused the majority (51%) or some (40%) of their research on the causes, impacts, or mitigation of climate change, and most had 11 or more years of experience in their field.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1419. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors examine four areas &amp;ndash; investment, supply chains, system infrastructure and public consensus &amp;ndash; which will set the conditions for wind energy growth to take off through 2030 in pursuit of the tripling renewables goal. While not an exhaustive list, the authors consider these domains critical for meaningful engagement to mitigate the risks of an unstable and disorderly transition. This year&amp;rsquo;s report also delves into the potential pinch points that accompany the present-day technological era: a rapid innovation cycle in wind technology which undermines business profitability and risks product quality; interest groups actively using technology and social media to foment disinformation on climate change and renewables; robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and automation introducing further disruptions to labor and workforce planning; and a digitalization gap between countries which impacts their capacity to allocate land, permit projects and operate smart, modern grids.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1421. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors focus on identifying pathways to accelerate deployment of key commercially available but underutilized advanced grid solutions on the existing transmission and distribution system to address near-term hotspots and modernize the grid to prepare for a wide range of energy futures.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1422. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications/ask-an-expert/" target="_blank"&gt;What do Americans want to know about climate change?&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;Ballew et al., &lt;strong&gt;Yale University and George Mason University&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1423. &lt;blockquote&gt;In this analysis, the authors investigated how the questions people would ask an expert vary across different subgroups, including demographic and political groups and Global Warming&amp;rsquo;s Six Americas. The Six Americas framework categorizes people into six distinct audiences based on their opinions about climate change, ranging from the Alarmed (who are the most worried and supportive of action) to the Dismissive (who do not believe climate change is happening or human caused and are often opposed to action). Americans are most interested in learning about solutions to global warming (44%), followed by evidence that it is happening (20%) or information about the causes (18%). Fewer Americans (11%) would ask first about the impacts of global warming. The topics people would ask about differ across demographic and political groups.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1425. &lt;blockquote&gt;Driven by favorable economics, policy factors, and decarbonization goals, large-scale solar (LSS, defined here as ground-mounted photovoltaic projects &amp;ge;1 MWDC) has expanded rapidly in recent years, with more than 90 gigawatts (GW) now installed across the United States. Growth in LSS deployment is anticipated to accelerate in response to growing electricity demand and utility, state, and federal decarbonization goals. This continued expansion hinges, in part, on the continued support of local residents and decision-makers in communities hosting LSS projects. Understanding the perceptions and attitudes of existing LSS neighbors is critical to inform and enable future LSS deployment, and to improve outcomes for those host communities.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1426. &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FY25-CEA-OMB-Climate-Macro-White-Paper-Final-2.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Assessing Methods to Integrate the Physical Risks and Transition Risks and Opportunities of Climate Change Into the President&amp;rsquo;s Macroeconomic Forecast&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;Council of Economic Advisors and hte Office of Management and Budget, &lt;strong&gt;White House&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1427. &lt;blockquote&gt;The Federal government has broad exposure to the physical risks of climate change and the transition risks associated with the global shift away from carbon-intensive energy sources. At the same time, the shift to clean energy provides a generational opportunity to create new sources of economic growth. These transitional opportunities and challenges affect future output growth and other economic outcomes and are therefore relevant to the President&amp;rsquo;s Budget. Building on nearly three years of work completed under Section 6(a) of Executive Order 14030 on Climate-Related Financial Risk, the authors present a step-by-step method for quantifying these risks and opportunities into a macroeconomic forecasting framework with the goal of more accurately projecting near-term macroeconomic outcomes relevant to the President&amp;rsquo;s Budget. For each step, the authors assess available tools, methodological tradeoffs, and directions for further research based on the current literature.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Aligning Meat Sourcing Strategies with Corporate Climate and Sustainability Goals&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;Waite et al., &lt;strong&gt;World Resources Institute&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1429. &lt;blockquote&gt;The authors focus on assisting consumer-facing food companies with climate and other sustainability goals that plan to source not only &amp;ldquo;less meat&amp;rdquo; but also &amp;ldquo;better meat.&amp;rdquo; Because &amp;ldquo;better meat&amp;rdquo; has many meanings, the authors review evidence of the links between meat production, climate change, and other aspects of sustainability, looking across production practices and systems. They recommend six steps to help food companies meet multiple sustainability goals, from environmental effects measurement and sourcing strategy design to supplier engagement.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1431. &lt;blockquote&gt;The report provides detailed information on the current state of Cuba&amp;rsquo;s electricity sector and recommends reforms to advance the transition to a lower emission, reliable, and more climate resilient system. The recommendations include possible changes to Cuban domestic policies to, among other things, encourage greater public and private investment in the country&amp;rsquo;s energy transition. The report also explores how a bilateral dialogue between the U.S. and Cuban governments could help to drive renewable energy development in the island nation, in a manner that benefits the Cuban people as well as the interests of people throughout the region.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1432. &lt;hr /&gt;
  1433. &lt;h3&gt;Obtaining articles without journal subscriptions&lt;/h3&gt;
  1434. &lt;p&gt;We know it's frustrating that many articles we cite here are not free to read. One-off paid access fees are generally astronomically priced, suitable for such as &lt;em&gt;"&lt;a href="https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol2-trans/100" target="_blank"&gt;On a Heuristic Point of View Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light&lt;/a&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;but not as a gamble on unknowns. With a median world income of US$ 9,373, for most of us US$ 42 is significant money to wager on an article's relevance and importance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1435. &lt;ul&gt;
  1436. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/competitions/finding-and-accessing-scientific-papers"&gt;Here's an excellent collection&lt;/a&gt; of tips and techniques for obtaining articles, legally.&lt;/li&gt;
  1437. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1438. &lt;ul&gt;
  1439. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://unpaywall.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Unpaywall&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;offers a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically indicates when an article is freely accessible and provides immediate access without further trouble. Unpaywall is also unscammy, works well, is itself offered free to use. The organizers (a legitimate nonprofit) report about a 50% success rate&lt;/li&gt;
  1440. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1441. &lt;ul&gt;
  1442. &lt;li&gt;The weekly &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; catch is checked against the Unpaywall database with accessible items being flagged. Especially for just-published articles this mechansim may fail. If you're interested in an article title and it is not listed here as "open access," be sure to check the link anyway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  1443. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1444. &lt;h3&gt;How is &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt; assembled?&lt;/h3&gt;
  1445. &lt;p&gt;Most articles appearing here are found via&amp;nbsp; RSS feeds from journal publishers, filtered by search terms to produce raw output&amp;nbsp;for assessment of relevance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1446. &lt;p&gt;Relevant articles are then queried against the Unpaywall database, to identify open access articles and expose useful metadata for articles appearing in the database.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  1447. &lt;p&gt;The objective of New Research isn't to cast a tinge on scientific results, to color readers' impressions. Hence candidate articles are assessed via two metrics only:&lt;/p&gt;
  1448. &lt;ul&gt;
  1449. &lt;li&gt;Was an article deemed of sufficient merit by a team of journal editors and peer reviewers? The fact of journal RSS output assigns a "yes" to this automatically.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  1450. &lt;li&gt;Is an article relevant to the topic of anthropogenic climate change? Due to filter overlap with other publication topics of inquiry, of a typical week's 550 or so input articles about 1/4 of RSS output makes the cut.&lt;/li&gt;
  1451. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1452. &lt;p&gt;A few journals offer public access to "preprint" versions of articles for which the review process is not yet complete. For some key journals this all the mention we'll see in RSS feeds, so we include such items in &lt;em&gt;New Research&lt;/em&gt;. These are flagged as "preprint."&lt;/p&gt;
  1453. &lt;p&gt;The section "Informed opinion, nudges &amp;amp; major initiatives" includes some items that are not scientific research per se but fall instead into the category of "perspectives," observations of implications of research findings, areas needing attention, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
  1454. &lt;h3&gt;Suggestions&lt;/h3&gt;
  1455. &lt;p&gt;Please let us know if you're aware of an article you think may be of interest for Skeptical Science research news, or if we've missed something that may be important. Send your input to Skeptical Science via our &lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/contact.php"&gt;contact form&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1456. &lt;h3&gt;Journals covered&lt;/h3&gt;

  1464. <title>How extreme was the Earth's temperature in 2023</title>
  1465. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/how-extreme-was-the-earths-temperature"&gt;re-post from Andrew Dessler at the Climate Brink blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1466. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In 2023, the Earth reached temperature levels unprecedented in modern times. Given that, it&amp;rsquo;s reasonable to ask: What&amp;rsquo;s going on? There&amp;rsquo;s been lots of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00816-z"&gt;discussions by scientists&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;about whether this is just the normal progression of global warming or if something we don&amp;rsquo;t understand is happening &amp;mdash; in other words, we&amp;rsquo;ve broken the climate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1467. &lt;div class="captioned-image-container"&gt;
  1468. &lt;div class="image2-inset"&gt;&lt;img class="sizing-normal" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F55f4decd-24cb-4030-bd9d-99f4eeca3884_1053x715.png" alt="" width="550" height="373" data-attrs="{&amp;quot;src&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/55f4decd-24cb-4030-bd9d-99f4eeca3884_1053x715.png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;srcNoWatermark&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;fullscreen&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;imageSize&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;height&amp;quot;:715,&amp;quot;width&amp;quot;:1053,&amp;quot;resizeWidth&amp;quot;:616,&amp;quot;bytes&amp;quot;:179215,&amp;quot;alt&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;title&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;image/png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;href&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;belowTheFold&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;topImage&amp;quot;:true,&amp;quot;internalRedirect&amp;quot;:null}" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1469. &lt;em&gt;from the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/01/09/record-hot-year-2023-global-temperatures/"&gt;Washington Post&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1470. &lt;p&gt;In this post, I compare the observational temperature record to an ensemble of state-of-the-art CMIP6 models to see exactly how unusual 2023 was. It turns out that 2023 is just not that unusual when compared to the model ensemble.&lt;/p&gt;
  1471. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s start with observations. I&amp;rsquo;m going to be using the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://berkeleyearth.org/data/"&gt;Berkeley Earth global average temperature data&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. In that data set, 2023 was a record-breaking 1.54C above the 1850-1900 average temperature. This temperature exceeded the previous record (set in 2016) by 0.17C.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1472. &lt;p&gt;Beating the previous record by 0.17C is huge: if we look at the temperature observations since 1970, the margin by which records were broken averaged 0.07C, with a median of 0.05C. And no record in the last 50 years had a margin larger than 0.17C.&lt;/p&gt;
  1473. &lt;p&gt;What does the climate model ensemble show? I have analyzed 38 CMIP6 models over the period 1970-2030 driven by historical and SSP4.5 forcing. Here is a plot of the biggest margin for a record year vs. the year that record occurred:&lt;/p&gt;
  1474. &lt;!--more--&gt;
  1475. &lt;div class="captioned-image-container"&gt;
  1476. &lt;div class="image2-inset"&gt;&lt;img class="sizing-normal" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8078b7e-1e44-4714-ba87-af1e0ad9d8c7_586x438.png" alt="" width="550" height="411" data-attrs="{&amp;quot;src&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d8078b7e-1e44-4714-ba87-af1e0ad9d8c7_586x438.png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;srcNoWatermark&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;fullscreen&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;imageSize&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;height&amp;quot;:438,&amp;quot;width&amp;quot;:586,&amp;quot;resizeWidth&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;bytes&amp;quot;:26649,&amp;quot;alt&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;title&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;image/png&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;href&amp;quot;:null,&amp;quot;belowTheFold&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;topImage&amp;quot;:false,&amp;quot;internalRedirect&amp;quot;:null}" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1477. &lt;em&gt;based on CMIP6 models; each dot is one model; the orange cross is from the Berkeley Earth observations&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1478. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As you can see, the record-breaking margin of 2023, 0.17C, was actually quite modest compared to the climate model ensemble. One model had a year that broke the previous record by nearly 0.45C &amp;mdash; all I can say is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;holy crap&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;, let&amp;rsquo;s hope that doesn&amp;rsquo;t happen in the real world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1479. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;A lot was also made of the fact that 2023 was the first year with a global average temperature anomaly to exceed 1.5C (in some data sets, at least). How unusual is that? Again, we can look at the models to see when they had their first year above 1.5C (as before, relative to the 1850-1900 baseline)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="footnote-hovercard-target"&gt;&lt;a id="footnote-anchor-1-143129579" class="footnote-anchor" rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/how-extreme-was-the-earths-temperature#footnote-1-143129579" target="_self" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  1482. &lt;em&gt;the black arrows indicate where a CMIP6 model passes 1.5C threshold relative to the 1850-1900 baseline, the red arrow is the Berkeley Earth observations&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1483. &lt;p&gt;The median date for the model ensemble to have its first year above 1.5C is 2024, very close to when we actually did (2023). Thus, the model ensemble seems to be simulating the warming pretty accurately. And the ensemble does equally well for a more modern baseline, like 1970-1990.&lt;/p&gt;

  1486. &lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1487. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Many others have looked at different aspects of the problem and reached similar conclusions. Here&amp;rsquo;s a plot that Zeke&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://x.com/hausfath/status/1770910524168949945?s=20"&gt;posted on Twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;that shows that the observed temperature time series still falls within the range of models.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  1490. &lt;/div&gt;
  1491. &lt;p&gt;This doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean we know everything about the climate of 2023. The extreme warmth was definitely surprising given the state of the climate in 2022, so important work remains to be done on understanding the physical mechanisms that were driving this record-breaking year.&lt;/p&gt;
  1492. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But the real test of our climate understanding will come in the next few years. If global temperatures drop after the current El Ni&amp;ntilde;o fades, as expected, 2023&amp;rsquo;s high temperatures will be seen as an unusual blip in the long-term evolution of the climate (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a rel="" href="https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/the-pause-vs-the-surge"&gt;like &amp;ldquo;the pause&amp;rdquo; that occurred in the 2000s&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;). However, if temperatures stay high or, heaven forbid, keep rapidly warming, it would suggest that we&amp;rsquo;ve broken the climate system. Let&amp;rsquo;s hope that doesn&amp;rsquo;t happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  1497. <title>What is Mexico doing about climate change?</title>
  1498. <description>&lt;p class="greenbox"&gt;This is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/04/what-is-mexico-doing-about-climate-change/"&gt;re-post from Yale Climate Connections&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1499. &lt;p class="has-drop-cap"&gt;The June general election in Mexico could mark a turning point in ensuring that the country&amp;rsquo;s climate policies better reflect the desire of its citizens to address the climate crisis, with both leading presidential candidates expressing support for renewable energy.&lt;/p&gt;
  1500. &lt;p&gt;Mexico is the 10th-most populated country with the 15th-largest economy and is also the 11th-most climate-polluting country in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
  1501. &lt;p&gt;In international surveys conducted in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nber.org/papers/w30265"&gt;2022&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications/international-public-opinion-on-climate-change-2023/"&gt;2023&lt;/a&gt;, Mexico had one of the highest percentages of citizens worried about human-caused climate change at 92%, compared to just 63% of Americans.* And 88% of Mexican respondents reported that they consider climate change an important issue that their country should address as a priority, compared to just 58% of Americans. This concern may reflect that Mexico is highly vulnerable to droughts, heat waves, hurricanes, flooding, and food and water insecurity worsened by climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
  1502. &lt;p&gt;But the Mexican government&amp;rsquo;s climate policy record has been inconsistent. At times, the country&amp;rsquo;s leaders have taken steps toward reducing its share of climate pollution, but its current and outgoing president Andr&amp;eacute;s Manuel L&amp;oacute;pez Obrador, commonly known by his initials AMLO, has tended to prioritize domestic fossil fuel resources over low-carbon alternatives.&lt;/p&gt;
  1503. &lt;p&gt;Mexico will hold its next general election on June 2, 2024. Voters will select the next president, who will succeed AMLO in October of this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  1504. &lt;!--more--&gt;
  1505. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;A potential turning point&lt;/h4&gt;
  1506. &lt;p&gt;The leading presidential candidate, with about 60% support in polling, is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/01/world/americas/mexico-election-amlo-sheinbaum-galvez.html"&gt;Claudia Sheinbaum&lt;/a&gt;. She&amp;rsquo;s the former leader of Mexico City and an AMLO prot&amp;eacute;g&amp;eacute;e, but also a scientist with a Ph.D. in environmental engineering who co-authored chapters in the Fourth and Fifth IPCC reports. She also&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexicos-sheinbaum-spurs-hope-more-private-investment-energy-after-lopez-obrador-2023-12-21/"&gt;plans to encourage private investment in renewable energy in Mexico&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1507. &lt;p&gt;Her closest opponent in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://oraculus.mx/presidente2024/"&gt;polls&lt;/a&gt;, with 35% support, is X&amp;oacute;chitl G&amp;aacute;lvez, who has expressed an even more pro-clean energy position,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.climatechangenews.com/2023/09/07/mexico-elections-claudia-sheinbaum-xochitl-galvez/"&gt;declaring&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that she would end the country&amp;rsquo;s addiction to fossil fuels.&lt;/p&gt;
  1508. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;A brief history of Mexican climate leadership&lt;/h4&gt;
  1509. &lt;p&gt;Felipe Calder&amp;oacute;n was elected Mexican president for the 2006-2012 term (the Mexican constitution limits each president to a single six-year term). He had served as the country&amp;rsquo;s energy secretary in 2003-2004 and recognized the importance of addressing climate change. Under Calder&amp;oacute;n&amp;rsquo;s leadership, Mexico adopted a voluntary climate mitigation target in 2008 and passed a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.iea.org/policies/8683-general-law-of-climate-change-mexico"&gt;General Law on Climate Change&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in 2012. Among other provisions, the law set targets to generate at least 35% of power with clean technologies by 2024 and to reduce climate pollution 30% below business-as-usual levels by 2020 and 50% below 2000 levels by 2050. Unfortunately, the former two goals have slipped out of reach.&lt;/p&gt;
  1510. &lt;p&gt;Calder&amp;oacute;n&amp;rsquo;s successor Enrique Pe&amp;ntilde;a Nieto had a more mixed record on climate and energy policy. His government passed&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://climate-laws.org/document/special-tax-law-on-production-and-services-carbon-tax-and-credits_effc"&gt;a tax on carbon pollution&lt;/a&gt;, but it only applies to the additional emissions generated by burning coal or oil instead of natural gas. Pe&amp;ntilde;a Nieto signed a constitutional&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://climate-laws.org/document/energy-reform-package_20c2"&gt;Reform on Energy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that was aimed at loosening the state-owned Federal Electricity Commission&amp;rsquo;s (CFE&amp;rsquo;s) monopoly over the national power sector, which has historically relied heavily on fossil fuels. That move opened up Mexico&amp;rsquo;s electricity generation to private clean energy investment, and also its oil and gas reserves to external investors.&lt;/p&gt;
  1511. &lt;p&gt;But AMLO moved to reverse those reforms when he replaced Pe&amp;ntilde;a Nieto in 2018, and he worked to maintain CFE&amp;rsquo;s share of Mexico&amp;rsquo;s power generation at a minimum of 54%. Clean energy investments in Mexico often come from foreign companies, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/mexican-lawmakers-vote-presidents-contentious-electricity-overhaul-2022-04-17/"&gt;AMLO has expressed a preference for national &amp;lsquo;energy independence,&amp;rsquo;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;which tends to favor domestic fossil fuel sources, which are also significant contributors to the federal budget. In fact,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2020/05/21/nothing-can-shake-amlos-fossil-fuel-fixation"&gt;his energy ministry published rules&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the national grid that would have prioritized energy security and fuel reserves (fossil fuels) over economic efficiency (cheaper wind and solar power). The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://apnews.com/article/mexico-power-sales-unconstitutional-060ab7b4918d6af511a610088f167655"&gt;Supreme Court of Mexico recently voided those rules&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1512. &lt;p&gt;That decision leaves Mexico&amp;rsquo;s energy and climate path at an important inflection point with a big election just a few months away.&lt;/p&gt;
  1513. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Mexico&amp;rsquo;s current climate status&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  1514. &lt;p&gt;Mexico&amp;rsquo;s climate pollution predominantly comes from three sectors: transportation (30%), power (29%), and industry (27%). The country&amp;rsquo;s power sector emissions have been rising, especially over the past two years as the government has prioritized fossil fuels and drought has reduced its hydroelectricity production. Mexico&amp;rsquo;s share of clean electricity generation&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/mexicos-energy-transition-hits-reverse-2023-2024-02-13/"&gt;fell below 22% in 2023&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;after peaking at 27% in 2021 and thus will surely fall short of the 35% clean power target by 2024 set in its 2012 climate law. Most of the country&amp;rsquo;s power comes from natural gas, and more than three-quarters is produced by burning fossil fuels. As a result, Mexico&amp;rsquo;s overall climate pollution has risen about 33% above 2000 levels.&lt;/p&gt;
  1515. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="perfmatters-lazy entered pmloaded" title="" src="https://i0.wp.com/yaleclimateconnections.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/null.png?w=780&amp;amp;ssl=1" alt="A graph of fossil fuel emission in Mexico, from 1900 to 2024. " width="550" data-recalc-dims="1" data-src="https://i0.wp.com/yaleclimateconnections.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/null.png?w=780&amp;amp;ssl=1" data-ll-status="loaded" /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mexican annual fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions. Created by Dana Nuccitelli with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://explore.globalcarbonbudgetdata.org/timeseries.html"&gt;data from Global Carbon Budget&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  1516. &lt;p&gt;Climate Action Tracker, an independent project that monitors whether governments&amp;rsquo; actions measure up to the goals outlined in the Paris climate agreement, gave Mexico&amp;rsquo;s climate policies its worst rating of &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/mexico/"&gt;critically insufficient&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; due to a lack of ambition and weakening of policies and targets under AMLO&amp;rsquo;s leadership. The project noted, &amp;ldquo;If all countries were to follow Mexico&amp;rsquo;s approach, warming would exceed 4&amp;deg;C&amp;rdquo; &amp;mdash;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://skepticalscience.com/climate-best-to-worst-case-scenarios.html"&gt;a catastrophic level of global warming&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  1517. &lt;p&gt;According to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, Mexico is also highly vulnerable to climate change impacts,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/chapter/chapter-14/"&gt;especially extreme heat and drought&lt;/a&gt;, which could lead to food and water insecurity. Mexico City, which is the seventh-most populated city in the world with over 21 million residents, is&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/25/climate/mexico-city-water-crisis-climate-intl/index.html"&gt;already in danger of running out of water&lt;/a&gt;. A&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-021-01000-1"&gt;2021 study&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;estimated that climate change has so far reduced Mexican agricultural productivity by about 25-30%, and a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1002632107"&gt;2010 paper&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;suggested that these effects could lead to millions of Mexican climate immigrants coming to the U.S. border by 2080.&lt;/p&gt;
  1518. &lt;h4 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;A potential 2024 inflection&lt;/h4&gt;
  1519. &lt;p&gt;Mexico has made little progress toward reducing emissions from its transportation sector, and electric vehicles account for just 0.26% of new car sales. But that could change relatively soon, as Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has announced&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/chinese-carmaker-byd-launches-low-cost-dolphin-mini-ev-mexico-2024-02-28/"&gt;plans to build a factory in Mexico&lt;/a&gt;. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_income"&gt;median income&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in Mexico is only about $6,000, which is about five to 10 times lower than that in the United States depending on how it&amp;rsquo;s measured, and so bringing BYD&amp;rsquo;s relatively cheap cars to the Mexico market could significantly increase electric vehicle adoption in the country. Mexico&amp;rsquo;s energy regulator will also have to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.bnamericas.com/en/features/mexico-unable-to-move-on-ev-charging-stations-despite-manufacturer-requests"&gt;issue guidelines&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to allow for the installation of more charging stations.&lt;/p&gt;
  1520. &lt;p&gt;A&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-14048-7"&gt;2020 paper published in Nature&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;found that Mexico&amp;rsquo;s climate policies have tended to follow its National Development Plans. These are plans published during the first year of the new government to specify the national objectives, strategy, and priorities for Mexico&amp;rsquo;s development. The 2006 National Development Plan was the first to characterize climate change as an unequivocal environmental problem and to include targeted actions, and the Calder&amp;oacute;n government followed suit. The 2012 National Development Plan somewhat de-emphasized climate change, and the Pe&amp;ntilde;a Nieto government had a more mixed climate record. The 2019 plan included a section about rescuing the CFE from an onslaught of private energy investments, which became a focus of AMLO&amp;rsquo;s government to the detriment of clean energy production.&lt;/p&gt;
  1521. &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Right now, nongovernmental actors are creating a proposal for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.mexicoresiliente.org/"&gt;Plan Nacional de Descarbonizaci&amp;oacute;n y Resiliencia Clim&amp;aacute;tica 2024-2030&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;[National Decarbonization and Climate Resilience Plan],&amp;rdquo; the 2020 Nature study&amp;rsquo;s lead author Arturo Balderas Torres wrote in an email. &amp;ldquo;Ideally any candidate who wins the election should commit to this proposal that is being generated in an unprecedented participatory way and include its proposals in the new NDP.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
  1522. &lt;p&gt;In short, Mexico is a highly climate-vulnerable country with a very climate-concerned population. Its leadership has thus far taken insufficient steps toward addressing the climate crisis, but 2024 could change the trajectory of Mexico&amp;rsquo;s climate policies and clean technology solutions.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
