What a shithole country.

Spain just a few months ago got 100% renewable energy on a weekday.
You aren't doing anyone any favours by pleading misleading information. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it was just a mistake and not deliberately misleading.
Generating ELECTRICITY from renewables, even 100%, has little to nothing to do with cutting emissions. Electricity is a fraction of a country's total energy mix.
Using your example of Spain who is a leader in renewables is still getting about
https://www.iea.org/countries/spain/energy-mix
About 66% of total energy from fossil fuels. Their oil refining is up 3% this year.
For what it's worth, I consider Europe a leader in emissions reductions. My comments are more about debunking misleading statements such as yours and to help people recognize how far we have to go and how little time there is.
Please choose your words more carefully. False narratives are a big part of our problem.
Until we get to net-zero emissions, extreme weather will only get worse, and it’s already damaging crops and pushing up the price of food all over the world,” Kotz, who also works for the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, said in a press release about the study.
With all due respect, until at least 20 years after we get to net zero emissions things will get worse. There is a roughly 20 year lagtime between heating and emissions. We are feeling the maximum of 2005 emissions today. If we stopped emitting today, by some magic, things would continue to get worse until at least 2045.
Unless, of course, the scientists were correct in that beyond 1.5C- 2C GAT we trigger tipping points, like the clathrate gun and polar ice caps, to name a few, that create positive feedback loops of non-anthropogenic emissions in which case it will continue to get worse no matter what we do for as long as those positive feedback loops exist. A hothouse earth that is incompatible with humanity and megafauna.
Kotz is softpedalling this so as to not scare the children. He and the Potsdam Institute know exactly what is going on.
Despite the offputting headline, it was a cool vid.
Tl/dw: Milimeter wave generators used to heat plasma for fusion research are being adapted as drill heads for geothermal bore holes.
It's in the early comercialization phases.
Intimidation by those in power who don't want to get caught.
Now send a tail to identify and dox the tails and follow the money trail to see who paid for this. Fun!
Ew. Couldn't stomach anything from him.
Me, when my wife changes the music to her playlist.
Russia will soon have the children pilot the kamikaze drones directly by riding them.
130 arrests, 100 vehicles seized and 2,100 provincial and criminal charges laid
This is good, superficially. It doesn't look so good when you see Ontario's courts are underfunded and backlogged. Both the civil and criminal courts are clogged worse than granny without her prune juice.
Is enshittification a culture?
