In 🇪🇺, we have almost everything it takes to tackle the climate crisis: 🌍
➡️ we have the highest R&D spending in climate tech,
➡️ the most patent applications,
➡️ and the most climate tech startups.
But...
Hiring!
Our focus now is scaling production in order-of-magnitude steps toward commercial volumes, securing regulatory approval in our key markets, and working with food companies to bring tasty proteins to your table/gym.
The El Nino is off the charts. Can people see the real issue and accept the implications? We may be getting closer. See the Bigger Problem – https://t.co/rsyLt8z4XS

🇵🇱 PM Tusk: I think that it’s not those who stopped Nord Stream 2 who should be ashamed, but those who built it.
Germany is responsible for Europe’s dependence on Russian gas. And Russia turned out to be the aggressor.
Germany shouldn’t prosecute those who, when their country was attacked by Russia, took one action or another.
Poland, under every PM, warned and did everything to ensure that Nord Stream 2 did not become a reality.
So that Europe was as independent as possible from Russian gas. Germans changed their minds too late.
Der nördliche Atlantik kühlt sich seit Jahrzehnten ab entgegen dem globalen Erwärmungstrend. Das ist eines von vielen Indizien, dass die atlantische Umwälzströmung #AMOC sich bereits abschwächt, wie die Klimamodelle seit langem vorhergesagt haben.

I guess they aren't happy to have been right: Three years ago, @LeonSimons8 and @DrJamesEHansen's paper was described as alarmist. Today we know that global warming has accelerated exactly as they predicted.

James Hansen clears up confusion about our draft paper on warming in the pipeline.
We are not yet committed to 10°C warming, but we are also not committed to make sure that we don't!
There are already many signs of accelerating warming, as GHGs increase and aerosols decrease.
This "confidence", combined with a gas lobbyist serving as Germany’s Minister for Economic Affairs, is currently paving the way for the Chinese in Europe.
With all August model runs now in (except for SINTEX-F), we now expect this year's El Niño event to peak sometime between October and December at a stunning 4C in the Niño3.4 region.

Ich habe zu lange auf Katherina Reiches neue Solar-Regeln geschaut.
Bis mir auffiel: Die Wind-Bedingungen werden komplett umgebaut.
Das stellt 6000 genehmigte Projekte infrage – ohne die die Energiewende scheitert.
Ein THREAD 🧵
The rise in Niño 3.4 region sea surface temperatures over the past few weeks has been nothing short of astonishing.
We are now hotter than any days during the 1997/1998 super El Niño event, and we are still many months from the peak.
Українські рятувальники вирушили до Франції, щоб допомогти у боротьбі з масштабними лісовими пожежами. Це перша місія української команди з надання допомоги державі-члену Європейського Союзу в межах Механізму цивільного захисту ЄС.
Global sea-surface temperatures just reached their 50th consecutive record hot day and are expected to continue to rise for another month.
This is so far beyond 'bonkers' (technical climate science term) that the Climate 8-ball has decided to start drinking early today.
Excellent BBC article on the risk of a catastrophic ocean circulation change in the Atlantic.
Time to act before it’s too late. #AMOC

Anders rum wird ein Schuh draus: der Grüne Mainstream hat die Autoindustrie wegen des „Abgasskandals“ sturmreif geschossen und ideologisch zu Überkapazitäten an E-Autos gedrängt, ua durch Androhung von Milliardenstrafen wenn sie die Quoten nicht erfüllen. Mit Verbrenner-Aus 2035 vor Augen wurden Milliarden fehlinvestiert, am Markt und Kunden vorbei. Zu hohe Standortkosten auch dank IG Metall, und verfehlter Bundes- und EU-Politik sowie aggressiver chinesischer Industriepolitik etc. taten ein Übriges.
