One of the most prominent arguments against rapid solar deployment: land!

Yes, there are tradeoffs. Of course, there are. That's especially true, say, if most of your land is confined to one big island, as in the #UK.

And yes, by calling out "golf courses" here we're squarely in "OMG culture war!" territory.

Still, the numbers couldn't be clearer.

Is that bad somehow?

And no, I'm not making any statements about CO₂, or land use, etc here. Of course pollution, human impact on planet, material throughput, etc must decline. CO₂ must go to zero, fast! And yes of course, GDP is wholly inadequate metric of overall well-being!

"We find that US$143 billion per year of the costs of extreme events is attributable to climatic change. The majority (63%), of this is due to human loss of life. Our results suggest that the frequently cited estimates of the economic costs of climate change arrived at by using Integrated Assessment Models may be substantially underestimated."

The striking bit, of course, is how random these extreme weather impacts are, and no, they don't go past 2019: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-41888-1

Hate to tell ya, but a transatlantic flight with SAF costs at least ~€600 more than your regular ticket. Yes, SAFs should be mandated, now. And yeah that means more expensive plane tickets.

Global clean-energy race, Königsdorf (aka remote Bavarian village) edition

By far the largest challenge: #AutoKorrektur. The bus for those last 30min? Once every 2 hours. The result: ~160 people in the audience, >80 cars; 6 took the shuttle bus

The continuing story of 2 kids + their parents doing one of the most ordinary things -- leaving home to go to school -- yet still, it somehow feels unusual / slightly subversive / dare I say daring?

Impassioned #NYC cyclist here, with 2 young kids scooting/biking everywhere. Yes, I wholeheartedly support this rule change to allow "pedal-assist commercial bicycle" onto bike lanes.

The key bit: actually enforce the rules, making sure that taxis & Ubers, delivery trucks, and, worst of all, private cars don't use bike lanes on a regular basis.

Comments end Wednesday: https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/pr2023/pedal-assist-cargo-bikes.shtml

As a moral hazard case study, nailed it.

As a comms strategy for Oxy justifying its investment in Carbon Engineering? Not so much.

106 now reported dead in #Maui fires, around 1300 still missing!

It's also an analogy for climate damages more broadly: whatever the Social Cost of Carbon is, it can only be a partial estimate.

Equally fun: coming home and finding the kids playing with uncle & cousin

I just discovered Julie Lasky's Living Small column in the NYT, and I'm addicted. I just wished "Apartment Life" mag were still around https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/realestate/apartment-life-magazine-instagram-baby-boomer.html

How much less sprawl would there be — and much lower would CO₂ emissions be — if the #NYT Real Estate section actually celebrated living in…New York rather than trying to turn us all into square-foot maximizing 'burbanites?
