Last Notes npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun In our rapidly changing climate, clinging on to "1-in-100 year event" characterizations - based on statistics from the stable era - have been reduced to a description of how unusual the event was back in those days. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Delays before the start: Dutch government just shifted €0.9 billion in start-up expenses for two #nuclear power plants from 2026 to 2028, indicating that the money will only be needed by then. Planned completion by 2035 increasingly unlikely. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun n just the past 4 days, St. Pölten in Austria got more precipitation than in the wettest (incl. snow) 91-day autumn recorded so far, back in 1950! And after a fifth day of rain, the total is now over 400 mm. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Record warm Mediterranean, but are the central European floods caused by climate change? npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Dutch meteorologist Amara Onwuka on how climate change causes ongoing flooding in Europe: npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun "Help us by allowing us to sell more cars of the past" hardly seems a winning strategy. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun European car manufacturers, clinging on to fossil fuel cars and SUVs, got behind in electric vehicles. Now they want a delay in the lowering of legal limits for the average emissions of cars they sell, to reduce the share of EVs required to meet those. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Average annual growth rate in the past decade (2013-2023) of installed solar PV capacity, for countries in the top-15 of largest capacity today: npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Biodiversity in the Netherlands is crashing, and one of the factors is high nitrogen deposition. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun No, just helping Trump/Vance a bit. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun The August average of atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa was ~423.0 ppm, that's 3.3 ppm higher than last year. We're still in a rapid growth phase! npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun 2/3 in transportation, and much of the other uses can be replaced too. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Calculation: EU imports 480 million tonnes of oil (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Oil_and_petroleum_products_-_a_statistical_overview&oldid=315177#Imports_of_crude_oil) npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun That's $8,000 per second, day and night. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun When considering hundreds of billions of investments in Europe's energy transition: the EU currently sends around $250 billion per year to oil exporters around the world, and then burns the oil, and then sends $250 billion the following year again. Burn and repeat. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Weather presenter and climate expert @PKuipersMunneke on this weekend's abnormal floods in Morocco's desert: possibly caused by the extremely warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Thanks, corrected now. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun This year's estimate from [@stepien_przemek](https://bird.makeup/users/stepien_przemek ) : npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Solar PV is booming in Poland too: installed capacity grew by a factor of 10 in just four years! npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun And of course, the Dutch special interest scientist was also hosted by the 'scientific institute' of Baudet's far-right FvD, two years ago. For a lecture titled "Nitrogen policies as state terror".
