What most suprised me by during this research is how much is possible with long term planning.
In 1965 Singapore started planning to be water independent by 2060! They sticked to the plan and are on a good way.

BOOM! CNN just fact checked every single one of Donald Trump’s lies in his RNC speech tonight! This is truly humiliating for Trump. We need more of this!!!
Historischer Beschluss? Die UN-Klimakonferenz ruft zur Abkehr von fossilen Brennstoffen auf, expliziter wird die Resolution aber diesbezüglich nicht - Hintertüren bleiben offen. Die DW-Autoren @cmkuebler und @tim_schauen zu den Ergebnissen der #COP28. https://t.co/iSgBFf33l2
#COP28
Al Jaber:
“Now time has come for every party to come forward with that language ( to reach consensus on fossil fuels)
“Watering down my ambition is not an option. Failure is not an option.”
“ need to be more flexible”
“I want everyone to come with solutions.”
#COP28 update 1450 GST 10 Dec
➡️Al Jaber said last night he planned to close the summit at 1100 on 12 Dec

Informal plenary @COP28_UAE. #Majlis tomorrow at 15, then Presidency package on Monday. We expect to see a phase-out of fossil fuels, NDC ambition ahead of #COP30, robust adaptation and finance in support of #ClimateAction in the package.
Still no working text on the global goal on adaptation, expected from SB chairs tonight: @Maisa_Rojas co-facilitating adaptation negotiations #COP28.
"I would say that the 2 most contentious issues are the inclusion and how to include the principles and means of implementation."
Spatial compound extremes unfolding
A textbook example of spatially compounding extremes associated with an Omega blocking: flooding in Spain, late summer heatwave in Central Europe and flooding in Greece, with the most extreme conditions yet to come.
We can squabble over what's behind the rapid Atlantic warming, but it's truly extraordinary to see waters in the Main Development Region of the tropics as warm in June as they typically are the first week of *September*. An undeniably big player this hurricane season.
😳WHAT THE F*CK😳
Normally I don't swear, but this is totally crazy.
Global temperature is 0.9°C higher than normal.
This is the highest anomaly ever and we are about 1.5 month away from the annual global peak surface air temperature.

@samgerrits@BrianRoemmele You’re right!
Actually I did a longer video piece on mushrooms including incredibly fantastic pics, so in my imagination what I was seeing here was somehow possible. 😅
I’d say next Ai lesson learned.
@giulio_mattioli I think it goes in that direction. Also in Germany 🇩🇪 there are still plenty of regional trains on diesel.
Could imagine that it’s cheaper to give some connections a hybrid coach than electrifying rather remote low frequency destinations
Got an invitation to visit a hybrid train production in Italy. 🇮🇹
Sorry for my ignorance, but are hybrid trains the a thing for rail transport?
Maybe for regional transport
Isn’t lack of rail I’m the bigger issue?
Thoughts?
