huh, so if we just do all of those things, at the same time, permanently, we'll make a small dent in the goal of stopping rising temperatures! sounds great!

what's the worst that could happen! :)

when i was in undergrad in the early 2000's, we had a coral biologist in our environmental studies 201 class said if you wanted to see coral in florida, you better go right now before it turned into algae flats. he was right, and it's all gone now and forgotten.

10 years later, i had a job interview in hawaii, and i hiked down to snorkel a reef that was below the cliff my hostel sat on. this was my first coral reef, and i was blown away how alien it felt...so many forms and shapes. i then took the best nap i ever had under a scrubby tree while the radiant heat of the sun-warmed lava rock created the perfect temperature while I could see dozens of yellow tangs in the water to my immediate left.

sweet, i still have the photo of the nap spot:

SHANGHAI, Feb 24 (Reuters) - China started building 33 gigawatts of new coal-fired power generation capacity last year, the most since 2016, research published on Thursday showed, a sign the country is falling back on fossil fuels as economic worries mount.

The newly added capacity under construction was three times more than the rest of the world combined, said Helsinki-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and U.S. think tank Global Energy Monitor (GEM).

While new permits were suspended in 2021, they resumed in 2022, with five projects with a total capacity of 7.3 GW approved for construction in the first six weeks of the year, the research showed.

China also approved 74 million tonnes of replacement coal-based steel production capacity last year, more than the whole of the rest of the world.

CREA and GEM said, "There is no space for this new capacity to be utilised under the goals of the Paris Agreement", adding it could leave China with an additional $90 billion to $130 billion in stranded assets.

actually its only 40 degrees celsius

edit: part of me thinks "70 degrees above normal in antarctica" would be a funny thread title, but another part of me thinks it might be mean to make people read that without choosing to click into the thread...
