"We're increasingly at risk of going over the carbon budget and the temperature limit. We need extra efforts to reach net-negative emissions and bring down global warming," says PIK director Ottmar #Edenhofer, Chair of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change, presenting the Board’s latest recommendations on carbon dioxide removals #CDR to the European Parliament’s ENVI Committee.

#EU exploring weaker 2040 climate goal

The European Commission wants to keep a 90 percent #emissions-cutting target but to change how countries calculate their progress.

The options being discussed range from allowing countries to defer steeper cuts to letting them count carbon reductions they pay for in other countries. Another idea would be to lean more on carbon that forests or technology can remove from the air."

POLITICO · EU exploring weaker 2040 climate goalBy Karl Mathiesen

I don’t usually share this disability attorney’s content because he’s a Floriduh man, but this one is interesting.

Even the first AI method he’s talking about would have led to me being denied. And ALJ in my appeal hearing called me out because of the language in my pain management records.

Do you know how they write that little blurb at the beginning of every visit that says something like “patient presented well orientated, dressed appropriately, able to follow along with care instructions, blah blah blah” that type of thing?

My pain management records always started like that literally copied and pasted from every visit, and in their blurb they mentioned that I can pay attention.

So the judge tried to tell me that I’m lying about troubles with ADHD because pain management said I could pay attention. Luckily they literally copied and pasted that first paragraph in every visit for two years so I could point out that that was just “copy pasta” and I could also explain that pain management never evaluated my attention span, they’ve never done any test to evaluate my attention because they are pain management.

But if AI saw that I might be kicked off disability.

By the way some of this stuff was implemented a couple years ago during the last administration. But I know none of you wanna hear about that.

The daunting physics of carbon removal

"The [American Physical Society] report summarizes the current state of available carbon dioxide removal (#CDR) technologies and outlines recommendations for policymakers.

Above all, the report emphasizes that in most cases, cutting current carbon emissions is easier and less costly than large-scale, engineered carbon dioxide removal efforts may ever be."

"For most countries around the world, sourcing energy entirely from wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower by 2050 would reduce their #energy needs and costs, improve air quality, and help slow climate change, according to a study.

These benefits, the authors say, could be realized at a fraction of the cost of implementing technologies that remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and capture it from stationary emitters like industrial smokestacks."

Das System war schnell (und ich auch ;)). Die Aufzeichnung zu meinem Vortrag über DACCS ist hier verlinkt:

Freu mich auch über Rückmeldungen oder Diskussionen hier und interessiere mich für die Meinungen darüber hier in der Community.

Potential #IPCC rule changes could award planned carbon savings from burning #wood rather than fossil fuels to the wood exporter, not the importer, as per current EU accounting rules... Accounting is much more policy than science.
