Interesting: Shell won its court case against the imposition of an order to reduce its emissions by 45% in part because:
The court agreed that if western firms pivot away from gas too quickly, net impact would be *bad* for the planet if their customers fill that gap with coal.

2023 war ein besonderes Jahr in der österreichischen Stromerzeugung! Wind + PV überholen erstmals die Fossilen! Gleichzeitig sinkt die fossile Stromerzeugung in Österreich auf den zweit niedrigsten Wert seit 1970.
(1/3) Weitere Details im Thread.

THIS IS HUGE. Paris City Hall has announced that starting on Monday, Paris will limit (not ban) car traffic in the city centre, as cities like Ghent have done. They’re creating a limited traffic zone (ZTL) about 2 sq miles in size, to clean the air & create more space for people.

Quite a few asking how long it'd take the solar panels to generate same electricity as gas in 50 LNG tankers, as if it's some kind of gotcha…
🌞Buy & install a solar panel, it generates for 25+years
🔥Buy & then burn gas – it's literally gone up in smoke
Zu diesem Bild muss man Wissen, dass 539 Öl und Gasfirmen aktiv daran arbeiten noch neues Öl und Gas aus dem Boden zu holen. Darunter auch der teilstaatliche Konzern OMV, der sich dieses Jahr wieder um neue Öl und Gas-Förder Lizenzen in Norwegen & anderen Ländern beworben hat.

The shift from fossil fuel imports to clean technology imports can improve the resilience of energy supply
A large container ship of solar panels can provide the means to produce as much electricity as the gas from over 50 large LNG tankers or the coal from over 100 large ships

Without climate change, #HurricaneMilton would have made landfall as a Category 2 instead of a Category 3 storm.
Furthermore, #Milton's rainfall & wind were both more likely & intense due to climate change, according to our latest analysis.🧵

Out of the frying pan, into the fire: Switzerland's implementation plan for the @KlimaSeniorin judgment is public. Submitted perfectly on time, but that's really the only thing that I want to commend about it.

“Emissions reductions haven’t happened as planned. If you still want to get to 1.5°C, you need overshoot.”
The overconfidence with overshoot is that people think it is possible to get to 1.5°C without overshoot?
Pick your variable, this is CH4...

Duke Energy spox today: “Based on what we can see on the ground ... there are lots of areas across the South Carolina Upstate and North Carolina mountains where we’re going to have to completely rebuild parts of our system, not just repair it"

Today is the day the UK becomes the first G7 country to completely phase out coal power
Since opening "Jumbo", the world's first coal power plant in 1882, the UK's coal plants have burned through a whopping 4.6bn tonnes of coal, emitting 10.4GtCO2 – which is more than most countries have ever released
Here's the story of how that all came to an end:

Über 1000l/m2 in North/South Carolina in 2 Tagen.
Hurrikan und Staueffekt an den Bergen.
1“ sind 25,4 l/m2.
Mehr als 40 gab es.
Bei unserem Hochwasser in NÖ vor 2 Wochen waren es 400l/m2.
Unglaubliche Regenmengen!

EXTREME and some have called generational flood in the mountains of North and South Carolina. Georgia got hit bad too from flooding today. 40"+ of rain fell in spots (second image) with this highly unusual Fujiwara-induced track NW of a hurricane remnant. That unusual track maximized upslope flow on the mountains to produce extreme rains. This was all predicted unfortunately very well days in advance and I hate that it came to fruition.
Even the rain in Nashville, while much less, 4"+ Friday alone is more than the entire September monthly average for middle TN. Major impact to Florida yes, but one could argue this storm will be remembered as much or more for the inland flooding.

Wichtige Einordnung:
(1) Fossile Energienutzung intensiviert nachweislich potentiell schadbringende regionale und lokale Wetterextreme wie den flutverursachenden Starkregen im September. Jede weitere Tonne CO2 verschärft das Problem zusätzlich.

Some reports suggest parts of Florida may see a storm surge of up to a staggering 20ft because of Hurricane Helene. 😳 Good explainer of storm surges here

Deadly rainfall in Central Europe twice as likely due to our continued burning of fossil fuels - @WWAttribution study. Early warning meant deaths were avoided, but plans to strengthen flood defences have been implemented way too slowly.
