From the Ground Up Ep. 322: record temps, climate attribution, false solutions, Saskatchewan failures and addressing ecostress| 2024.07.17
Ep. 322
•
A run-through of some recent reports:
- for each of the last 12 months the average global temperature has been more than 1.5degC higher than pre-industrial levels
- the recent heatwave in eastern Canada shown to be 2x to 10x more likely than it would have been before climate change
- gas with carbon capture and storage produces far more emissions than normally claimed; so does "blue" hydrogen
- Saskatchewan fails spectacularly in an assessment of its climate leadership
Then part 1 of a repeat of episode 308 on dealing with ecostress. More of that episode to be re-run next week...
