The article discusses seven dangerous records related to the fact that the global climate system may be an irreversible process, and emphasizes that solutions require profound changes in various areas, not just CO₂ reduction. #klimamuutused #kliimakriis #fossiilkütused (translated)
France and Germany have formed an alliance to modify the CO₂ emission reduction targets and allow the continuation of internal combustion engine car production beyond 2035, in response to the difficulties faced by the German automotive industry. #Francia #Alemania #CocheDeCombustión (translated)
Toyota warns Brussels that it is not a guest in Europe and proposes changes to car regulations, asking for greater flexibility on CO₂ targets and a more inclusive approach towards business partners. #Toyota #UnioneEuropea #TransizioneEcologica (translated)
Germany and France have agreed to a partial easing of the ban on combustion engines, which allows for a reduction of CO₂ emissions from new cars by 90 percent by 2035 instead of the originally targeted 100 percent, paving the way for approval at the EU level. #Verbrennerverbot #Klimaziele #DeutschFranzösischeEinigung (translated)
European vehicle manufacturers have urged the European Commission to accelerate negotiations on a package of measures for the automotive sector, emphasizing the need for greater flexibility in CO₂ targets and a realistic timetable for local production that includes the United Kingdom, in order to ensure competitiveness and the transition to electric mobility. #MovilidadEléctrica #EmisionesCO2 #IndustriaAutomotriz (translated)
The auto industry could achieve the EU CO₂ targets for new cars despite its push for a relaxation of the phase-out of combustion engines, if the boom in electric cars continues. #EAuto #CO2Grenzen #Autoindustrie (translated)
The author announced in his newsletter a dispute regarding the EU budget at the EU summit. He also wrote that Denmark is extending border controls due to the developments in Ceuta. The EU has so far transferred 225 billion euros to Ukraine. Starting in 2028, the CO₂ policy under the Green Deal will be noticeably felt at the pump, he wrote. https://t.co/y4wERtAm6x #EU #Budget #Ukraine #EU #DK #UA (translated)
When people hear that CO₂ is to be stored underground, questions naturally arise. Minister of Economic Affairs Martina Klement (CSU) showed understanding for the concerns of citizens. #CO2Speicherung #Klimaschutz #Brandenburg (translated)
Brandenburg is to examine underground storage of CO₂ to reduce emissions from industry, particularly in steel and cement production, while ensuring safety and environmental protection standards. #CO2Speicherung #Klimaschutz #Brandenburg (translated)
From 2028, all households in the EU will have to pay a CO₂ price when refueling, which will especially burden working people twice, while resistance against rising emissions continues to grow. #CO2Preis #Emissionshandel #Klimaschutz (translated)
The physicist Raymond Pierrehumbert claims that Spain has become semi-tropical, experiencing an increase in the amount of rain over shorter periods, due to global warming caused by the accumulation of CO₂, and emphasizes the urgency of adopting renewable energies to curb this process and prevent floods and extreme temperatures. #CalentamientoGlobal #EnergíasRenovables #CambioClimático (translated)
Ben Jamin wrote that the two 1,000 MW reactors of the Indian Point nuclear power plant had been in operation for 45 years each. In the foreground, the entire spent nuclear fuel generated during this time could be seen. A facility of this kind could reliably supply around 4,500,000 households with CO₂-free electricity around the clock on an area of 1 km², regardless of darkness and weather conditions such as calm, storms, hail, snow, or frost, he explained. #Kernenergie #ErneuerbareEnergien #Stromversorgung (translated)
Poland threatens to block the EU budget due to new rules on revenues from the ETS system, which could impose an obligation on it to contribute part of the CO₂ emission revenues to the EU common pool, raising objections from the Polish government and concerns about the high costs of the energy transition. #BudżetUE #ETS #Polska (translated)
The disappearance of the Aral Sea, due to Soviet agricultural policies, has caused CO₂ emissions equivalent to three years of pollution in Spain and threatens to release even more carbon, highlighting the urgent need to restore its water reserves and modernize agricultural systems. #MarDeAral #CambioClimático #EmisionesDeCO2 (translated)
The author wrote that 2026 was the hottest year ever experienced up to that point, but it could end up being one of the coolest in people's lifetimes. He added that although some years in the future might be a little less hot, each new extreme record would be higher as long as CO₂ continued to be emitted into the atmosphere. He presented it as a reflection. (translated)
German Shepherd wrote that activists from the group "That's enough!" from Hanover participated in the demonstration "Project M1llion Berlin". They demanded a policy for the citizens on their banner. The participants were, according to the author, dissatisfied with warmongering, deindustrialization, and CO₂ taxes. https://t.co/18bibhJzLl #Demo #Politik #Aktivismus (translated)
The introduction of the EU plan could threaten the shale industry in Estonia if the reduction of free CO₂ emission quotas becomes too abrupt, forcing the country to seek allies in the EU to slow down this process. #углеродныеквоты #Экология #Эстония (translated)
South Korea has announced a billion-dollar investment program to advance the green transformation of its energy-intensive industries, including steel, chemicals, and computer chips, by 2035 and to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions. #Klimaschutz #Südkorea #Energiewende (translated)
Tadek Solarz wrote that TNO had calculated that large-scale installation of hybrid heat pumps in Dutch homes could theoretically save about 3.6 megatons of CO₂ equivalent per year. He compared this to the global fossil CO₂ emissions of 38.1 billion tons, which he stated amounted to about 0.0094%. Solarz wrote that those emissions are currently growing by about 1% per year, or about 380 million tons, and that global emissions increase in about three and a half days by as much as the Netherlands would save in a whole year with that operation. #duurzaamheid #klimaat #energiesparen (translated)
Maria Rautanen wrote that a law was being prepared in Finland that would require the installation of solar panels on existing public buildings larger than 250 m² starting in 2031. She linked the preparation to the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive for Buildings and asked whether the effects of the directive were adequately assessed in Finnish conditions. Rautanen argued that Finland could not be compared to sunny Mediterranean countries that used a lot of fossil fuels. She noted that Finland's electricity consumption emission factor was only 26 g CO₂/kWh in 2025 and pointed out that solar panels produced energy mostly in the summer when the electricity system was already low-emission and energy consumption was lower. She wrote that the solar panel production chain was heavily concentrated in China and that a lot of coal-generated electricity was still used in their manufacturing. According to Rautanen, 78,000 MW of new coal power was commissioned in China in 2025. Rautanen asked who would pay for the new investments while municipalities were balancing their budgets and welfare areas were looking for savings. She demanded a calculation of the costs and financing of the investments, as well as how much the solar panels made in China would reduce Finland's CO₂ emissions over their entire lifespan. She also questioned whether the panels would offset their carbon footprint during production and assessed that the rationality of the directive in Finland could not be determined without a calculation based on Finnish conditions. https://t.co/ba6sqYwZ2l #Aurinkoenergia #Energiatehokkuus #Suomi (translated)
