#CCS–gefeiert als Schlüssel gegen die Klimakrise – steht heute für Risiken, Mythen und ein gefährliches Greenwashing. Die Studie von Geologe Dr. Krupp zeigt: #CO2Endlager in der Nordsee sind weder sicher noch dauerhaft – sondern ein #Risiko. #GEOSTOR 🧵

Na?
Auch damals auf den "Habeckschen Heizhammer" reingefallen? 😉
Was wirklich geschah: ⬇️
PLUS sog. "Bauernproteste", die in Wirklichkeit medienwirksam von Bauern mit Parteibuch CDU/CSU, FW & Afd initiert wurden
PLUS einer regierungssabotierenden FDP

Just made an update from "my" Solar reality vs IEA graph for an upcoming book called "Power to the People". The difference is still going strong...

2025 GHG EMISSIONS INCREASED 50% FROM 1990, MORE FOSSIL CO2
GHG emissions have been increased about 54% from 1990.
Fossil CO2 proportion was 60% in 1990, 68% in 2025.

Ganz Afrika wird gegrillt.
Millionen Menschen leiden unter der Dauerhitze von 45°C im Schatten.
Die Landschaft trocknet aus. Die Produktion von Lebensmitteln gerät in Gefahr. Dürre. Hunger. Tiere können nicht mehr versorgt werden. Menschen sterben an der Hitzewelle.
‼️EXTRAORDINARY
MOST EXTREME EVENT EVER IN WORLD CLIMATIC HISTORY
45C from North to South Africa
Dozens of thousands of records brutalized with the hugest margins ever seen even 10C above the old records.
From North to South, from East to West every record in every single country is being completely trounced.
Never happened anything like this anywhere

Three years ago, our 2023 @DrJamesEHansen et al. paper, “Global warming in the pipeline”was published.
Earth’s Energy Imbalance has continued to increase, and most of the 463 citations support our findings.
The world needs to prepare for a rapidly changing planet.
Today we presented the 'Warming in the pipeline' paper, lead by @DrJamesEHansen.
The recording of the press conference is available here.
At 34:30 min, I explain the effects of sulphur emission changes, notably from shipping, of accelerating warming:

With William Nordhaus' recent passing the field of climate economics has lost one of its giants.
Nordhaus published in 1977 what was at the time a rather bold projection: the the world would warm by 1.2C by the year 2026. In reality it warmed by 1.1C.

Fickling:
"Quite striking contrasting the sober, level-headed IEA projections of carbon-capture vs. reality (left) with the sober, level-headed IEA projections of solar vs reality (right)"

Katherina #Reiche hat das Referat für Wind-, Solar- und Transformationsindustrien in ihrem Ministerium abgeschafft.
Ich muss einfach nochmal drüber sprechen, weil es so ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist, wie Reiche die Prioritäten setzt: Gegen die Erneuerbaren.

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: 320 gigatons.
"When climate forecasters built models, their calculations assumed CCS would work. When governments and corporations began making so-called 'net zero' pledges ... they assumed CCS would work."

CLIMATE IS FAR BEYOND SAFETY LIMIT- SO NO CARBON BUDGET
Atmospheric CO2 at 426 ppm is above the safe level of 350 ppm.
Human radiative forcing of 3.1 is over three times the safe level
It is +3.10 W/ m², and the safe level is +1.0 W/m².
"This means the Earth system is already well beyond the Safe Operating Space for climate stability”. (Planetary Health Check 2026)

How long before we start referring to the 2C scenario as being in 'overshoot'? Next year?

Ich durfte mich mit Daniel Messling von “Geladen - der Batteriepodcast” darüber unterhalten, warum fossile Desinformation gerade immer hysterischer wird, und wie sie heute funktioniert. Der Grund ist: Öl-, Gasindustrie und andere haben Angst vor dem Tempo der Transformation.

Breaking News!

It takes 2 weeks to confirm ocean sea surface temperatures and the long wait is finally over. The first day in recorded history with Nino 3.4 SST at or above 30.0°C is now officially on the record.
October 7, 2026: 30.000°C.

In just four years, annual battery storage additions grew tenfold as costs declined, driving rapid deployment.
The same increase in solar capacity took nine years, and wind 15 years.

2026 RECORD HOTTEST SUMMER OF 1.55°C (LAND 1.8 °C), ACCELERATING, NASA GISS
2026 Summer global temperature was a record +1.55°C. Summer temperatures are accelerating steadily-fast. Summer matters most; heat and drought impact populations and food crops. El Niño was affecting global temperature by July 2026

The latest update to region Nino 3.4 sea surface temperature is not only a preliminary new record daily high, but also a new record anomaly, now 3.46C above the 1991 to 2020 baseline.

Dos anys després de la DANA de València veiem com l'atmosfera i la Mediterrània és capaç de generar autèntiques bestieses.
Han caigut fins a 600-700 l/m² en 24 h entre la Safor i Marina Alta. Com tants altres cops, la Mediterrània ens demostra que té un potencial immens.
