Nos quedamos otra vez esperando un paso más allá en la ambición climática. La OMI falla a los países vulnerables y por ahora triunfan los productores de los “combustibles transicionales”. Una arquitectura que le falla a las metas de la estrategia de 2023. theconversation.com/how-petrosta...

How petrostates succeeded in watering down the world’s plan to cut shipping emissions
The UN has agreed to charge ships for the greenhouse gases they emit – but the price is far too low.

La Organización Marítima Internacional aprueba un sistema para gravar las emisiones del sector, aunque sin el consenso de los países
A partir de 2028, las embarcaciones deberán pagar en función de los gases que expulsen los combustibles empleados. El pacto abre la puerta a un comercio con los derechos de emisión

Heat exposure on Western Australian coral reefs is literally off the charts. 24 Degree Heating Weeks now at Ningaloo - the highest ever recorded. 6-8 DHW is lethal for most branching corals. >20 is catastrophic. coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/product/vs/m...

🧵1/7 Energy efficiency isn’t one-size-fits-all. From smarter homes and factories to community-led projects that cut costs and emissions, it’s the key to making our energy systems cleaner, more affordable, and more resilient. #WorldEnergyEfficiencyDay

“It's encouraging to see Mexico & Panama act as regional leaders in crucial discussion – we need a rallying call by @imohq.bsky.social to agree on strong global fuel standard & GHG gas levy as best way forward for reducing hipping sector emissions” Delaine McCullough @oceanconservancy.bsky.social

Another naive ‘nature-based solution’ to greenhouse gas pollution: “We used $3 million/km as our estimate of the cost of hybrid reef restoration” Except, nobody has ever restored a km of coastal coral reef. The average reef area restored is just over 100sq m. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Hybrid coral reef restoration can be a cost-effective nature-based solution to provide protection to vulnerable coastal populations
Coral reef restoration can cost-effectively protect coastal infrastructure and vulnerable people.

625 million acres of ocean are now protected from new offshore drilling along most of the U.S. coastline. This monumental decision from the Biden administration is a massive victory for safeguarding marine ecosystems and establishing vital protections that future presidents can’t easily undo.

“A technology designed to extract more oil from oil fields does not sound like the most auspicious start for a solution to climate change.”

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #SaudiArabia has no policies in place to cut emissions & reduce reliance on #fossilfuels. #RenewableEnergy plans fail to materialise: it has a 50% target by 2030 but has achieved 1%. Our rating remains "Critically insufficient" bit.ly/2EtDrSE

Da tristeza ver como el mundo de la restauración coralina esta llena hace años de soluciones falsas y “buenas intenciones”. Se desperdician los recursos en esfuerzos carísimos que no atienden en lo más mínimo el tema de la escala ni la sostenibilidad. Menos lo socioecológico. Es una pena.

Los impactos de GEI que trae la exportación de gas natural licuado proveniente de 🇺🇸 es superior en mediciones a la que presenta el carbón, y se demuestra una vez más que se ha subvalorado severamente el daño climático de las emisiones de metano. www.research.howarthlab.org/publications...

Now brace for the bad news... Water is super warm here (29C, 84F) and there is a lot of bleaching, all the way down to the deep reefs. All of the fire corals (Millepora) that I saw were bleached, as well as about 20% of the critically endangered Elkhorn Coral (Acropora palmata).

There'd be less criticism of reef restoration if it wasn't widely used for greenwashing and grossly misrepresented by media. This is NOT the fault of restoration scientists and I support the research, but I see little enthusiasm to combat these uncomfortable truths. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Muy recomendado esta artículo, y una pieza más para entender que la ciencia está bajo ataque y será silenciada terriblemente por el negacionismo y el mercantilismo en los próximos años.

A reminder that when a centuries old coral or tree dies from anthropogenic climate change, it’s not going to be “restored”or replaced for many human generations. It’s no accident that most restoration attempts focus only on 1 or 2 short-lived, fast-growing species.

‘Fossil Fuels Are Still Winning’: Global Emissions Head for a Record
Countries promised to move away from coal, oil and natural gas at last year’s climate summit. New research shows they’re burning more than ever before.
