Renewable Tuesday: Renewables Meeting All Increases in Demand [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-11 For some years we have had to replace coal-fired power plants with gas, with less carbon. That time is over worldwide. Some countries are behind the curve, of course, but overall “renewables are set to meet all the growth in global electricity demand” for years to come. x Look at the difference between renewables and nuclear. pic.twitter.com/LyHAXET8ug — Dr Paul Dorfman (@dorfman_p) June 9, 2024 Now that Fossil Carbon burning has peaked, and we are on the downhill side, I can bring you one tipping point after another from now on. Country by country, technological advance by technological advance, court case by court case, laws, regulations, education, changes in public opinion, products and markets...Enjoy. Today, growth in renewables that is greater than growth in demand, so that fossil fuel use decreases measurably every day from now on. But CO 2 in the environment is still going up for reasons other than burning carbon. We have to get down from 38 gigatonnes per year of CO 2 equivalent emissions to well below 0 before the Earth starts to cool. Until then we are still putting more of it into the air and seas, and not taking up enough with trees and plankton and such. x ATMOSPHERIC CO2 INCREASE FASTER THAN EVER ACCELERATING - far beyond CO2 during human existence'. 'Past 2 year atmospheric CO2 record increase- faster than ever' NOAA 6 June CO2 trend to climate planet catastrophehttps://t.co/3XVttOEsix#CO2 #climatechange #globalwarming pic.twitter.com/CalCa1YR4K — Peter D Carter (@PCarterClimate) June 10, 2024 The record two-year growth rate observed from 2022 to 2024 is likely a result of sustained high fossil fuel emissions combined with El Niño conditions limiting the ability of global land ecosystems to absorb atmospheric CO 2 , said John Miller, a carbon cycle scientist with NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory. The absorption of CO 2 is changing the chemistry of the ocean, leading to ocean acidification and lower levels of dissolved oxygen, which interferes with the growth of some marine organisms. Well, that was the bad news. Now for serious good news. x In some good news, Gazprom announced the collapse of gas production. The worst in the history of the company. Sanctions are working and we need more https://t.co/3eQg2iYg7j — Olga Lautman 🇺🇦 (@OlgaNYC1211) June 11, 2024 x Climate anxiety is real and widespread. This weekly thread⬆️, which has run for 4+ years, aggregates good climate news to show that climate action and climate justice are widespread - and have momentum.

An ‘evidence bank’ could help scientists find answers Synthesizing research on which policies are most effective is a key priority in climate science, advocates say. x BREAKING: UBC study finds basic income funded by big polluters and nature exploitation could grow Canada's economy $541B and world economy by $163T, while reducing poverty and promoting conservation. Each $1 invested in BI would generate $4 to $7 of economic output. /1 🧵 pic.twitter.com/aBKcejpXBI — UBI Works 🇨🇦 (@ubi_works) June 10, 2024 x China installs an 18-MW offshore wind turbine, estimated to produce 72 GWh of electricity per year. That's enough to fully charge 19,231 electric vehicles with a 72-kWh battery once per week (52 times) each yearhttps://t.co/7o2BS19nay @ElectrekCo — Mark Z. Jacobson (@mzjacobson) June 10, 2024 x Here come the long-range EVs. Nice to see U.S. Chevy Equinox described as the “standard bearer.” Also nice to see some cheaper than combustion cars. pic.twitter.com/Qqs4iL8caR — Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) June 9, 2024 There is of course lots more news of various sizes. We’ll get to it.
