The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has unleashed their Special Report on the impact of global warming reaching 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
“This IPCC report is set to outline a rescue plan for humanity,”
“1.5°C is the new 2°C,”
If we stick to Paris Climate Agreement commitments, we could still see a global warming of about 3°C by 2100.

Better still, there are benefits to the fishing crew, so the idea may not need to be imposed by regulation.
Green Lights on Fishing Nets Could Be The Secret To Saving The Oceans
https://www.iflscience.com/environment/green-lights-on-fishing-nets-could-be-the-secret-to-saving-the-oceans/
The oceans are facing catastrophe from overfishing, and the problem is as much the things caught by accident – by-catch – as it is the fish we are trying to catch. This is particularly problematic for large, long-lived species like sharks and sea turtles, whose populations only rebound slowly. The answer, or at least a big part of it, could be attaching lights that deter non-target species, while having no effect on the fish we actually want to catch.
Although finding a way to keep unwanted animals from fishing nets makes sense, it comes with an obvious problem. When the creatures we don’t want include species as diverse as mammals, reptiles, sharks, and invertebrate cephalopods, it’s hard to imagine any one thing that would work on all of them without also reducing catches of target fish.
Nevertheless, scientists including John Wang of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report in Current Biology that’s exactly what they have found in the form of green LEDs dotted along nets’ floatlines. Better still, there are benefits to the fishing crew, so the idea may not need to be imposed by regulation.
The team attached green LEDs every 10 meters (33 feet) along the edge of 28 nets set to catch grouper and halibut off Baja California, leaving other nets as controls. The illuminated nets caught 63 percent less by-catch in total, including 81 percent fewer squid and an astonishing 95 percent fewer sharks and rays by weight. Ironically, almost the least successful aspect was in saving turtles, whose excellent site in the green part of the spectrum inspired the idea initially. Nevertheless, a 51 percent reduction in deaths for the most threatened vertebrate group on the planet is nothing to be sneezed at, and the turtles narrowly benefited more than unwanted fin fish at 48 percent.
Meanwhile, there was no difference in the amount of commercially valuable fish the nets caught. Indeed more halibut, a particular target, was caught in the lighted nets, although this may have been chance.
Attaching and powering the lights obviously costs something – $140 per net to be precise – but the researchers are looking into cheaper solar-powered options, and placing them further apart.

The pioneering project has already created the first vehicle made of fossil-free steel, but this is just the beginning of the story.
World’s First Fossil-Free Steel Has Power To Slash Carbon Footprints
https://www.iflscience.com/environment/worlds-first-fossilfree-steel-has-power-to-slash-carbon-footprints/
Steel is everywhere. It’s in our cars, our houses, our bridges, and so much more. Although an invaluable material for societies around the world, steel stomps out a massive global carbon footprint, accounting for up to 7 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. These emissions are pumped out throughout the numerous steps of making steel, a process that’s looked roughly the same for over a thousand years – until now.
Swedish steel company SSAB has partnered with mining company LKAB and energy company Vattenfall to reinvent the process of making steel to ensure it’s fossil-free from start to finish. Known as the HYBRIT project, SSAB uses the technology to manufacture an end product exactly the same as before – sturdy and versatile steel – via a new process that doesn’t produce carbon dioxide, which will help reduce global carbon emissions greatly.

Consumers Expect Brands to Address Climate Change
https://deloitte.wsj.com/articles/consumers-expect-brands-to-address-climate-change-01618945334?mod=Deloitte_cmo_wsjarticle3_Native
Environmental activism has reached an inflection point, as consumers increasingly demand change from business leaders and corporations, Deloitte research reveals.
As government leaders pursue policies and programs to mitigate climate change, businesses are also considering their role in environmental and sustainability issues—and that responsibility takes on greater prominence this year, with Deloitte research showing that, when it comes to activism, 2020 was a tipping point for society and business.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, 40% of the general public say they are more likely to be actively involved in social issues, and many are changing their buying patterns or encouraging others to do the same, according to the “#GetOutInFront” global research report, which examined consumer views in six different countries. To produce the report, Deloitte surveyed nearly 10,000 respondents during January 2020, then followed up with a second survey in May to gauge how opinions had shifted since the crisis began.

Peter Eavis / New York Times:
Microsoft aims to be carbon negative by the end of the decade, but its carbon emissions were up 21.5% in the 12 months through June 2021 — The company aims to be “carbon negative” by the end of the decade, but its emissions rose sharply in the most recent year measured.
Microsoft’s Pursuit of Climate Goals Runs Into Headwinds
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/10/business/microsoft-climate-carbon-emissions.html
Microsoft has an ambitious plan to cut its carbon emissions. But on Thursday, the company reported a big increase in the greenhouse gases emanating from its operations and its products, a reminder of the challenges that companies face as they try to clean up their businesses.
Microsoft’s carbon emissions were up 21.5 percent in the 12 months through June 2021, after small declines in 2020 and 2019. The increase was almost entirely driven by emissions from energy used to build data centers and make devices — like the Xbox and the Surface tablet — and from the power that Microsoft estimates its products consume when people used them.
Microsoft has sought to show that with committed leaders and sufficient funding, companies can effectively reduce their net emissions to zero in the coming years, bolstering international efforts to limit the rise in global temperatures. But the surge in Microsoft’s emissions suggests that it and other companies may have trouble meeting their goals. And since the increase resulted from strong demand for products, it is a reminder that robust business growth can often mean pumping more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Still, Microsoft’s leaders say they can be “carbon negative” by the end of the decade, by cutting emissions and using a variety of measures to remove carbon from the atmosphere. “We’re still absolutely committed to — and absolutely sure of our ability to meet — our 2030 commitment,” said Lucas Joppa, Microsoft’s chief environmental officer.
Microsoft is the first large tech company to report this year on the progress of its sustainability efforts. Apple, Google and Facebook’s parent, Meta, all aim to get their net carbon emissions to zero by 2030. Amazon, which has a large delivery network and much more extensive supply chains, has a 2040 goal to do the same.
“None of this is going to be easy for any company — decarbonization is a challenge,”
The company aims to be “carbon negative” by the end of the decade, but its emissions rose sharply in the most recent year measured.

The collapse of the industrial livestock industry is coming

A new report sees a major disruption in where we get our food.
From 2012 to 2023, the costs of protein in the U.S. from cows vs. precision-biology food technology will reach parity, says independent think tank RethinkX. It will be a tipping point after which acceptance of modern foods will accelerate quickly, leaving the cattle industry effectively bankrupt by 2030 and five years later down to 10 percent of its current size.
This “protein disruption” will be followed by the collapse of a wide range of related and supporting industries by 2035, it will be, according to the researchers, “the deepest, fastest, most consequential disruption in food and agricultural production since the first domestication of plants and animals ten thousand years ago.”
RethinkX’s startling predictions are published in a report released September 16 titled “Rethinking Food and Agriculture 2020-2030 — The Second Domestication of Plants and Animals, the Disruption of the Cow, and the Collapse of Industrial Livestock Farming.” The ramifications, the group says, will be profound, far-reaching, and overwhelmingly positive, affecting people everywhere. In sum, things are about to change. Big time.
Microorganisms are at the heart of the upcoming disruption, as they were when humanity began domesticating plants and animals 10,000 years ago by manipulating the evolution of microorganisms via the breeding of their macro-organisms. Within about a thousand years, we were controlling microorganisms through fermentation, producing bread, cheese, alcohol, and preserving our fruits and vegetables.
Moving food production to the molecular level promises a more efficient means of feeding ourselves and the delivery of superior, cleaner nutrients without the unhealthy chemical/antibiotic/insecticide additives required by current industrial means of production.
PF foods and products will be at least 50 percent, and as much as 80 percent, lower as current products. This will result in substantial savings for individuals. The average U.S. family will save $1,200 a year, adding up to $100 billion a year for the nation by 2030.
The revenues of the U.S. beef and dairy industry and their suppliers will decline by at least 50 percent by 2030, and in 2035 by nearly 90 percent. The other livestock and fishery industries will follow.

Ilmastopaneeli: Sähkön tarve voi yli kaksinkertaistua 2050 mennessä – nämä riskit otettava huomioon
Suomen ilmastopaneeli muistuttaa, että sähköistyminen tuo uudenlaisia haavoittuvuuksia Suomen energiajärjestelmään.
https://www.iltalehti.fi/politiikka/a/ab70081e-f1d6-4f35-9237-9c4e766c737f
Energiajärjestelmien sähköistymisen vuoksi sähkön tarve voi yli kaksinkertaistua vuoteen 2050 mennessä, ja se vaatii uudenlaisten haavoittuvuuksien ja pullonkaulojen huomioimista, Suomen ilmastopaneelin raportti kertoo.
Energiajärjestelmien sähköistäminen on keskeinen osa ilmastotavoitteiden saavuttamista, mutta raportti muistuttaa, että fossiilisista polttoaineista irtautuminen ja sähköistäminen vaikuttavat merkittävästi Suomen energiajärjestelmään.
Fossiilisista irtautuminen on erityisen ajankohtaista nyt, kun Euroopan unioni ja myös Suomi pyrkivät eroon Venäjän fossiilienergiasta.
Sähköistetty energiajärjestelmä tarvitsee nykyistä enemmän sähköä ja sen myötä joustoratkaisuja. Raportin mukaan sekä energian tuotannossa että kysynnässä on odotettavissa huomattavasti nykyistä enemmän ajallista vaihtelua. Sään mukaan vaihtelevat uusiutuvat energialähteet kuten aurinko- ja tuulivoima lisäävät vaihtelua energian tuotannossa.
Myös sähköistetyssä järjestelmässä tarvitaan polttoaineita tasapainottamaan energian kysyntää ja tuotantoa sekä takaamaan energiajärjestelmän toimintavarmuutta. Polttoaineiden tarvetta voidaan vähentää energian käyttöä tehostamalla.
– Tarvitaan pikaisesti lisäselvityksiä siitä, missä määrin biopohjaisia ratkaisuja voidaan ilmastokestävästi hyödyntää polttoaineeksi, ja missä määrin tarvitaan vedyn ja hiilidioksidin avulla valmistettavia sähköpolttoaineita, Suomen ilmastopaneelin jäsen, professori Peter Lund sanoo tiedotteessa.

Energiajärjestelmien sähköistäminen on keskeinen osa energiamurrosta ilmastotavoitteiden saavuttamiseksi.

Some will think that it is enough to leave them because there is no danger. So why bother with outlets to turn off each device?
Admittedly, many prefer to simply shut down computers, consoles, etc. to save a few seconds while reusing them, so shutting them down before departure may suffice.
Why it is not enough to turn off the devices
If environmental issues are not enough due to skepticism or indifference, shutting them down will contribute to a pointless increase in electricity bills.

Earth Day, which is celebrated annually on 22 April, aims to drive transformative change by educating people about what they can do to help. The day reminds us of the need to protect our planet and its ecosystems against the worsening climate crisis.
Our planet is no longer the same as it was even just a decade ago. The climate crisis is threatening people across the world, as well as every species of animal and plant life. We need to address the crisis now in a sustainable way. Fortunately, we still have a narrow window of opportunity to alter the Earth’s climate path, and I believe we can do it.
Climate change is a global societal crisis that is causing devastating consequences. Its costs have been projected as high as US $23 trillion in reduced annual global economic output, according to Swiss Re, a reinsurance company. Multifaceted collective efforts are necessary to address the crisis.
Engineers and technologists can and should play major roles in creating a greener planet, creating tools that address environmental degradation.
