Por qué debes pensarlo dos veces antes de comprar un coche eléctrico si tu garaje tiene más de 20 años
Un estudio de la Asociación Británica de Aparcamientos (BPA por sus siglas en inglés) revela que el mayor peso de los coches eléctricos en híbridos enchufables puede afectar a las estructuras de los aparcamientos, especialmente los construidos hace décadas.

La UE está lejos de cumplir los objetivos de consumo de energía renovable
El porcentaje medio es del 21,8% y en España un 20,7%, tres veces menos que Suecia, 62,6%
El consumo en renovables en la UE, apenas alcanzó el 21,8% en 2021. En comparación con 2020, esta fue una disminución de 0,3 puntos porcentuales, el primer descenso desde que comenzó a valorarse este indicador.
Que nadie olvide que biomassa, es decir quemar bosques cuenta como renovables.

En l'actualitat, la humanitat es troba en un camí d'entre 2,2 °C i 3,4 °C d'escalfament, amb 2,4 °C el valor més probable si els països compleixen les reduccions d'emissions que es van comprometre a fer el 2030
Però és probable que els augments de temperatura estiguin a l'extrem superior de la gamma si no es mantenen les promeses i continua el business as usual.

La disminució de la fertilitat als països en desenvolupament no depèn del creixement econòmic, sinó que segueix l'ús anticonceptiu
En un estudi a llarg termini publicat recentment no vam trobar relacions entre fertilitat i creixement econòmic, sinó una forta associació amb l'anticoncepció moderna: les taxes de natalitat als països en desenvolupament van disminuir linealment amb l'augment de l'ús d'anticonceptius.
Això suggereix que un finançament adequat per a la planificació familiar és important per reduir les taxes de natalitat als països amb una fecunditat insosteniblement alta.

Climate change a far bigger environmental danger (to birds and humans) than wind turbines | READER COMMENTARY
Whatever danger turbines pose to birds, it's not even close to how greenhouse gas emissions threaten the planet and nearly all its inhabitants.Baltimore Sun
El temor és que, d'aquí a unes dècades, la desforestació pugui desencadenar una transició abrupta de la selva tropical cap a la sabana, alliberant gasos d'efecte hivernacle addicionals per accelerar l'escalfament.
Una cascada de tipping-point podria portar el sistema Terra a temperatures encara més altes i a un nou estat climàtic, menys habitable, "calent". Això faria que grans parts de la Terra fossin inhabitables. #climatechange #climatecrisis #FossilFuels
