<br>
10. The world struck an airline carbon pollution deal<br>
9. An extremely potent greenhouse gas is also on its way out<br>
8. July was the hottest month ever recorded. Then August tied
it<br>
7. Arctic sea ice got weird. Really weird<br>
6. Divestment and clean energy investments each hit a record<br>
5. The Great Barrier Reef was decimated by warm waters<br>
4. The world breached the 1.5°C climate threshold<br>
3. Carbon dioxide hit 400 ppm. Permanently<br>
2. The Paris Agreement got real<br>
1 . It was the hottest year on record. Again.<br>
Of course, that was the biggest story in 2014. And 2015 for that<br>
matter. This year marks the third year in a row of
record-setting<br>
heat, an unprecedented run. It’s a reminder that we’ve entered a
new<br>
era, where our actions have changed the world we call home. We
also<br>
have the ability to decide what comes next.<br>

Of course, there have always been extreme weather events. But
the<br>
probability of these extremes is higher now, due to climate
change.<br>
And the frequency, intensity, timing or duration of these events
is<br>
having a bigger impact on society. Some of the fastest-changing<br>
parts of the planet, such as the Arctic, are highly likely to
endure<br>
increased warm extremes due to climate change, and as more ice<br>
melts, more sunlight gets absorbed, amplifying the changes...<br>

<i>[ discussion about the world climate meeting of COP28 -
criticism YouTube video ]</i><br>
<b>COP28: Talk Green, Play Dirty - Patrick Bond</b><br>
theAnalysis-news<br>
Dec 29, 2023 #PaulJay #theanalysis #climatechange<br>
Patrick Bond, political economist, Professor of Sociology at the
University of Johannesburg, and Director of the Centre for Social
Change, expands on the first Global Stocktake produced at COP28. He
criticizes the document's weak language of "transitioning away" from
fossil fuels, which he says is a distraction from the need to phase
out fossil fuels outright. Sanctions such as the Carbon Border
Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to prevent carbon leakage were removed
from the GST in the name of promoting global trade, another aspect
Bond problematizes. He also addresses the BRICS+ divided approach
toward Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip.<br>

<font face="Calibri"> </font> December 31, 2013: <br>
<p> In The Guardian, Dana Nuccitelli notes:</p>
<blockquote>2013 was a good year for climate science, but a mixed
bag for climate policy<br>
2013 saw a lot of good climate science and myth debunking, but not
much progress in solving the climate problem...<br>
- -<br>
"As 2013 comes to a close, a review of the key climate events of
the year reveals some interesting new research and effective myth
debunking, but little net progress in terms of addressing the
problem through policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."...<br>
- -<br>
Skeptical Science also released a new global warming widget
showing that when accounting for the entire global climate, the
planet has been accumulating over 4 Hiroshima atomic bomb
detonations worth of energy per second, and over 2 billion
detonations worth of heat since 1998...<br>
- -<br>
However, on an international level, 2013 passed with very little
progress in terms of establishing a new international climate
agreement. 2015 is the target date for new emissions reductions
plans.<br>
<br>
Overall, 2013 was a productive year in terms of reducing the
consensus gap and debunking the 'pause' myth. Climate policies
were a mixed bag, with some steps backwards and some steps
forward. Climate media coverage was likewise a mixed bag, with
continued false balance and inaccurate reporting from the
politically conservative media, also seeping into the BBC. The New
York Times eliminated its environment desk, but The Guardian
stepped in to fill the gap with its new Environment Blogs.<br>
<br>
A lot of interesting new climate research was published during the
year, including a new IPCC synthesis report. However, progress
toward solving the climate problem remained far too slow. Here's
to 2014 being a more productive year for climate solutions.<br>
