⚙️New paper out in Nature Climate Change! Coal-based steel plants operate for decades, and continued investments in new and existing capacity risk locking in emissions well into the 2060s. But we show that there is still a narrow window to act. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Averting the steel carbon lock-in through strategic green investments - Nature Climate Change
New steel capacity expansion is critical for the feasibility of climate targets, as plants operate for decades. Researchers estimate that while existing and planned plants could commit large emissions...

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which includes the Gulf Stream, is vital to Earth's climate. Its weakening could spell disaster.
