Gracias, El Niño.
It goes to show how chaotic global warming is/will be. We were told that the east coast would get more hurricanes and warmer winters. Those predictions have proven true. But now we also get polar vortices and unusually low-activity/late hurricane seasons (probably thanks to el niño). These events then overshadow the slower steady warming (which is actually lightning-fast compared to other climate changes humans have lived through).
The EU replaced coal with natural gas, which has been a geopolitical disaster
I think reporting solar “capacity” is a little confusing or deceptive. But this is still an important milestone, and it’s a real figure.
Consumption and capacity are not the same thing. I agree that reporting on solar “capacity” is a little confusing/deceptive, but this is still an important milestone.
1 gorrilian dead ceepeecee coverup!!
That’s 16 confirmed dead. Those are people whose names are known, and presumably body recovered. There’s more than 500 missing in one of the most remote regions of the world. That’s an acknowledged disaster.
In one case, a user identified only as Zhang disputed the official death toll, posting: “Clearly thousands of people were swept away, yet the authorities reported only three deaths and 265 people missing.”
Excellent reporting. No follow up on what village this is or its population. JNo satellite imagery. No names of the unofficial missing. Not even a correction of the incorrect number of people missing! Just one anonymous post and a gut feeling.
Also, 300+ buildings destroyed is the same order of magnitude as 500+ missing.
Anyway, here’s a map of the floods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Nepal_floods#/map/0 . You can clearly see that most of the flooding was in Nepal, and Tibetan villages appear to be much higher than the developments in Nepal.
3C warming here we come
you want the mad max future
Complete Chuddification will ultimately destroy the pentagon
Confusing headline, but the article clarifies. Theyre comparing total new gas-fired power plants. In the US, the AI bubble has caused the US to overtake China in constructing new gas plants. Im pretty sure the new Chinese plants are just tied to real industry/economic development, and not the AI bullshit specifically.
Climate changed. It’ll continue to change at an increasing rate, but it already changed too
