Climate Action in London & Paris

Mayors Anne Hidalgo and Sadiq Kahn published a joint piece about Climate Action they have taken in their cities of Paris and London, about the clean air figures the action has produced, and about the misinformation and disinformation they and their projects were subjected to. They suggest training on media literacy and climate science are taught to school-leavers to better help them spot falsehoods.

3 Years Left For 1.5 Degrees

#423

An updated assessment from 60 climate scientists state that we have 3 years left to stay within the carbon budget to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. If we don't meet that target though, every fraction of a degree reduced by cutting emissions matters.

Maps of Data Centres In Ireland

#422

The Journal Investigates published an informative piece showing maps of where the data centre clusters are in Ireland (mostly Dublin), and where over 40 other planned data centres will be located. Already, data centres account for 18% of the Irish electricity grid load, the highest in Europe, and have emitted more than 181,00 tonnes of CO2 since 2005.

Clouds Spread Antibiotic Resistant Microbes

#422

An interesting piece on BBC Futures describes the latest science on the aerobiome, which involves clouds hosting and transporting microbes, fungi, and other microscopic organisms across the earth. The latest result show that antibiotic resistant microbes are being transported by clouds, which can go on to endow bacteria with antibiotic resistance.
