Are we at Peak Carbon? Probably. Are we at Peak Denial? Long past the worst, but still plenty bad. Did COP30 promise the end of Fossil Fuels? Sort of, without using the words. When can we talk about Net Zero? You can TALK about it all you like, any time. When can we do it? Sooner than the pundits think. Now what? The usual, but more so, as exponential growth continues to surprise everyone but the mathematicians.
COP30 declared war on climate disinformation. You can help. EVs, heat pumps, induction cookers, solar panels on roofs and balconies, and much more are all unstoppable, but lies about them all continue. We can roll back wildfires, floods, droughts, killer heat waves and other climate disasters if we set our minds on the fact that these all cost much more than saving the planet at a profit.
Too many loonburgers think they want vastly expensive, corrupt, and incompetent nuclear power, which is always over budget and far behind schedule, kills miners, and creates toxic waste. We need laws everywhere to require actual renewables to be built for every data center, and to be in operation before the computers are switched on. There are no SMRs, small nuclear reactors, that can be licensed or bought. There are no molten salt reactor products, likewise.
We need to get serious about leaving carbon in the ground, and cleaning up steel, cement, and ammonia, and planting trees, and reviving soils, and everything else we report on here.
And, as always, get your local schools to buy electric school buses and put in enough solar panels to charge them and support computers for all students. Diesel buses have caused an epidemic of asthma.

Extreme weather disasters are driving up home insurance rates nationwide, and New Yorkers have had enough.
Senate Bill 8585, introduced this week by New York Senator Brian Kavanagh, would empower insurers in the state to take Big Oil companies to court for fueling climate disasters.

Not every country agrees with denying climate change ....
A crucial system of ocean ( AMOC ) currents may be on course to collapse.
Iceland just declared it a national security threat

The Good News
Going off fossil fuels has been mentioned in one official COP document, at COP28. Saudi Arabia as willing to refer to this as the UAE consensus, even though not another explicit statement. I mentioned this last time, but it is well worth repeating.

AP: Pope Leo XIV...urged countries at U.N. climate talks to take “concrete actions” to stop #climate change that is threatening the planet, telling them humans are failing in their response to global warming & that God’s creation “is crying out in floods, droughts...”

During week 1 of #COP30, we saw promising bright spots, including growing support for a transition away from fossil fuels, progress on fighting climate disinformation, and improved coordination among the Rio Conventions to enhance cooperation across international organizations.

No New Nukes
Denial and Obstruction vs. Resistance and $Real Money$$™
28% of the US won’t do anything good for anybody, including themselves. The older reprobates are dying off, mostly in the usual manner, but somewhat more. See Dying of Whiteness, by Jonathan Metzl, for detailed interviews with some of them.

For years, fossil fuel lobbyists have swarmed international climate summits with a mission to derail progress, spread disinformation & dodge accountability. An international commitment to information integrity at #COP30 can help remove barriers to strong national climate solutions.

Power Companies Are Using AI To Build Nuclear Power Plants

Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AIs massive power demands and they're using that AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear power plants.
