In line of the 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 Iberian blackout yesterday, there's an interesting paper by Zhao et al. In the US, blackouts were **shorter** and **typically less likely** in grids with a high share of wind and solar in the month of the blackout Not quite clear why however www.nature.com/articles/s41...

CCS is not a serious solution Promised for decades Used small-scale for oil recovery—even then, most CO₂ is not captured Energy models assume 90% capture by default. We all know that’s a myth. These assumptions must change to stop misguided takes like this. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So, it seems like a house can only get a heat pump subsidy once www.gov.uk/apply-boiler... Does this mean it might be more difficult to sell a house with a heat pump? What's the long-term plan here?

Really proud of Alex for this review paper on postgrowth modelling for climate policy 🔌💡 Why it matters: Postgrowth aims to improve wellbeing within planetary boundaries—regardless of GDP Without ways to measure and model it, policymakers may hesitate to explore these transformative policies

It was an absolutely pleasure. One of my key takeaways: support for climate action is high. So defending democracy may be the most impactful climate action one can do now

Anyone aware of CMIP6 runs that show tipping point behaviour this century in tipping elements that impact weather, such as the AMOC, Amazon dieback, collapse of monsoons etc? A postdoc in my team will be analysing the energy production impacts
