At the same time on @edconway.bsky.social substack. Solving electricity demand with low carbon generation is just one part. As Fressoz says it is the easy part.

Full-page apology for record coal expansion at Fiji climate talks. While Australia signed up to a Transition Away from Fossil Fuels, we keep approving new ones, last week was a new monster coal mine. It's shameful & we apologise to the world. #auspol #COP31 australiainstitute.org.au/post/full-pa...

Cars have long been commonly associated with freedom in the United States, and it is often assumed that everyone in the country loves to drive. But our latest research tells a different story of a population seeking another type of independence: freedom to move around without cars.

When will this remarkable growth in sun and wind powered electricity start putting a dent in total GHG emissions? From all the other charts on rising temperatures and risks by @zekehausfather.com it seems we need more of an abolition than a transition.

Electrification of heavy transports have started in China and will gain speed in Europe. Still it is late and slow. How many years would it take to switch all European Trucks? 20-25 years?

Not sure about the "return" part, but the limit and adapt are fundamental conditions for life. Sadly, rather than radicallising everyone and everything, the news will just be more munition for the trendy catastrophist climate doomsday people. We really need a true and international just TRANSITION.

Lets play pick your favourite picture... so solar capacity is bigger. What about generation? What about coal generation actually falling as fast as solar capacity increase? Solar capacity growth shows that solar industry is busy, but unfortunatly it doesn't necessarily equal falling emissions.

Energy supply is entangled not only materially but very much politically. It makes these apparent pardoxes of the energy transition possible when the share of renewables grow in parallell to the absolute capacity and generation of coal power in China.

This is way it is never the "new normal" even without tipping points. Emissions adds up syncronized to the energy additions in society. What we might see by 2030 is that the last decade was beyond some tipping point driving even faster acceleration.

If there are Seven Wonders of the Cycling World, Beijing's Shangdi–Huilongguan Highway deserves a place on the list. The 5.4 km elevated expressway is designed so riders can cycle its entire length without stopping; cutting their commute to 30 minutes—halving the rush hour travel time by car/metro.
