    EU must pick up speed to reach climate goals, report says – EURACTIV.com
    https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy-environment/news/eu-must-pick-up-speed-to-reach-climate-goals-report-says/

    Overall, the EU is found to have successfully set the course towards a greener future, but it will need to pick up speed when it comes to implementation.

    While all the examined building blocks are heading in the right direction, they are not moving fast enough to reach the EU’s goals. Aside from electricity and governance, which are the best performers in the analysis, progress in the other building blocks is either deemed “too slow” or “far too slow”.

    EU se vydala správným směrem k dosažení klimatické neutrality, postupuje však příliš pomalu

    Zpráva byla vytvořena na základě dat z let 2015 až 2021. To znamená, že určitá část legislativy navazující na Zelenou dohodu pro Evropu nebyla zohledněna vzhledem k tomu, že se stále projednává nebo teprve nedávno vstoupila v platnost, a důsledky tak prozatím nejsou patrné.

    As Beijing swelters, activists hope the heat will prompt climate action | China | The Guardian
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/30/as-beijing-swelters-activists-hope-the-heat-will-prompt-climate-action

    although there is some limited education about climate change, permitted discourse stops short of talking about major policy shifts, such as reducing China’s coal emissions more rapidly. The government has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2060, but concerns about energy security and the need for economic growth mean that local authorities are showing no sign of backing down on building new coal power.

    Also, says Zhao, “even if people link heatwaves and climate change, they don’t think it’s something that the individual should pay attention to.” Most people see it as being the government’s responsibility – and therefore out of the hands of the public, she says.

    Still, awareness of climate change, and discussion about how it can be managed, is ticking up. The topic is increasingly discussed in state media. Analysis by Sixth Tone, a state-backed outlet, found that mentions of key words relating to climate change jumped from about 750,000 in 2019 to nearly 3.3m in 2021.

    Surveys suggest that, compared with the US, a slightly higher proportion of Chinese people accept that climate change is happening and that it is caused by human activity.

    Farmers on frontline as Dutch divided by war on nitrogen pollution
    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/25/farmers-on-frontline-as-dutch-divided-by-war-on-nitrogen-pollution

    Nitrogen compound emissions are a big matter in this small, packed country, becoming the dominant political issue over the course of a four-year crisis. Among other impacts, the crisis has hampered crucial housebuilding, because builders need nitrogen permits from a limited supply to cover construction emissions. The crisis has polarised social opinion, spurring the rise of a new rural populist movement and mobilising environmentalists who are desperately concerned about the state of wild habitats.

    Soil Grown Tall: The Epic Saga of Life from Earth | SpringerLink
    https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-88739-1

    "Soil Grown Tall" looks at the role of life in buffering the global carbon cycle, using evidence captured in paleosoils - fossil soils - over periods stretching back right to the beginning of the solar system..

    Gregory is a pretty rare creature - a geologist and paelobiologist specialised in paleosoils, which he has analysed and studied way more than anyone else. He's always expressed surprise at how few colleagues made paleosoils their life's calling and, reading this masterpiece, you cannot but agree with him. More knowledge about our planet's history is hidden in fossil soils than anywhere else.

    Retallack shows how paleosoils contain plenty of evidence towards what he calls the Proserpina Principle, or the way the planet achieved homeostasis - long-term stability - without falling either into a runaway greenhouse, like Venus, or an unchanging snowball, like Mars. The secret? A never-ending evolutionary arms race between producers (plants) and consumers (animals).

    For example, when trees evolved they precipitated a serious ice age, as lignin is so, so hard to digest. When termites evolved the ability to digest wood a hundred million years later or so, they tipped the planet into a greenhouse world, as they put all the carbon trees had captured back in the air.

    Similar producer-precipitated ice ages came earlier (with the evolution of lichens) and later (with the evolution of grasses), interrupted by consumer-precipated greenhouse worlds.


    That dance goes back to the very dawn of life: the microbial mats that covered the world three thousand million years ago also drew down vast amounts of carbon dioxide, both directly through photosynthesis, and by enhancing weathering through the acids they produced. They, as much as lichens and trees, were responsible for planetary deep freezes.

    The Proserpina Principle kept the planet liveable through mile-wide asteroid impacts and continent-sized volcanic eruptions (see the Siberian or Deccan traps). The huge amounts of carbon that spewed into the air heated the world up, which encouraged plant growth even into polar regions, which soon drew that carbon back into seas and soils.


    What this long view leaves you with is, first, that as far as the planet is concerned, we're just the latest consumers tipping the world into a greenhouse (two hundred million years before termites, millipedes did a great job too), and second, that whether we fine-tune the system to keep Holocene-like stability (through all our favourite nature-based solutions, from agroforestry and holistic grazing to ocean iron fertilization and kelp forests) or not, matters little to the world: a hotter one will see less ice and deserts and more forests and grasslands, and they'll do the job of getting carbon back out of the atmosphere whether we like it or not.

    Of course, something that matters little to the world may still matter a lot to us. Sea levels 90m higher and crocodile-infested rainforests in Antarctica may be business as usual for the planet, but most definitely not for us.

    New Energy Infrastructure Chief Wants Companies To Feel FOMO Over Decarbonization
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2023/06/28/new-energy-infrastructure-chief-wants-companies-to-feel-fomo-over-decarbonization/

    We need to create an air of inevitability that these things are going to happen so that everyone's moving in the same direction,” said David Crane on June 14, less than an hour after being sworn in as undersecretary.
    ...
    What we're trying to do with the $6.3 billion for industrial decarb is to bring that 2035 date for deep decarbonization of processed heat into this decade,” he said, “and so if you still have a plan to do that in the 2030s you're going to be left behind.”
    ...
    Crane was CEO of Houston-based NRG Energy for 12 years. He also served as director of DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations. Prior to government service, he was the CEO of Climate Real Impact Solutions and served on the Boards of Heliogen Inc, Source Global, JERA Co. Inc., and Tata Steel Ltd, along with the not-for-profit Boards of Elemental Excelerator and The Climate Group NA. He was confirmed as undersecretary June 8 by a Senate vote of 56 to 43.

    Experience exceeds awareness of anthropogenic climate change in Greenland | Nature Climate Change
    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01701-9

    Greenlanders are more likely than residents of top oil-producing Arctic countries to perceive that climate change is happening and about twice as likely to have personally experienced its effects. However, half are unaware that climate change is human-caused and those who are most affected appear to be least aware

    Vesta calculates that the North Sea Beach project will remove roughly 400 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere, after factoring in emissions from mining, grinding and shipping the olivine from Norway. The company plans to sell carbon credits, but the US$2-million pilot project will neither make money nor alter the climate, says Andrews. “It is a proof of concept.”

    Start-ups are adding antacids to the ocean to slow global warming. Will it work?
