Earth’s orbit is slowing down. It turns approximately 2 milliseconds slower every 100 years.

IPCC report: Climate scientists issue ultimatum on 1.5 degrees goal (cnbc.com)


The fight to keep global heating under 1.5 degrees Celsius has reached “now or never” territory, according to a new report released Monday by the world’s leading climate scientists.
The highly anticipated report, delayed slightly due to last-minute disputes over the exact wording of the document, says curbing global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels would require greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest.

At the same time, methane, a potent greenhouse gas, would also need to be reduced by roughly one-third.
The U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said it is “almost inevitable” that humanity will briefly surpass the critical temperature threshold of 1.5 degrees in this scenario, but it could return below this level by the end of the century.
“It’s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C,” IPCC Working Group III co-chair Jim Skea said in a statement accompanying the report. “Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.”
The 1.5 degrees Celsius goal is the aspirational temperature threshold ascribed in the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement. It is recognized as a crucial global target because beyond this level, so-called tipping points become more likely. These are thresholds at which small changes can lead to dramatic shifts in Earth’s entire life support system.
It has been feared that Russia’s unprovoked onslaught in Ukraine may eclipse the findings, despite the fact that the report may be the last comprehensive assessment of climate science while there is still time to secure a liveable future.

“First thing is, we’re on the wrong track,” Julia Steinberger, ecological economist and professor from Switzerland’s University of Lausanne, told CNBC via telephone. “In terms of a trajectory and also in terms of policies, we are just not on track for 1.5 or even 2 degrees.”
Steinberger, a lead author on IPCC’s latest report, described the warning that global emissions must peak by 2025 at the latest as “a bit of a bombshell” given how little time there is to prevent the worst of what the climate crisis has in store.
“We’re not talking about transition anymore. That ship has sailed — or, more like, failed to sail. Instead, the report is very much focused on transformation,” Steinberger said.
“I really think the report contains elements of a positive turn. For the first time in human history, we have the technologies available to us that allow us to live comfortable lives without consuming ginormous amounts of energy,” she added. “It’s almost the first time that we can plausibly think about pathways to get beyond the age of combustion — and wouldn’t that be exciting?”

May 7, 1979
With thunderous chants of "No More Harrisburgs" and "No Nukes, No Nukes," a vast crowd of at least 65,000 protesters reminiscent of antiwar throngs of a decade ago marched on the Capitol yesterday, calling for an end to U.S. decpendece on nuclear energy.

As their banners billowed under bright skies, the protesters stepped in massive ranks from the ellipse, near the white house, down Pennsylvania Avenue to the west steps of the capitol.

There, they cheered speaker after speaker, including California Gov. Jerry Brown, consumer advocate Ralph Nader, actress Jane Fonda and longtime political activist Tom Hayden.

Triggered by the three mile island nuclear plant accident near Harrisburg, Pa., five weeks ago, the outpouring marked the largest national protest to date by the growing anitnuclear movement.

The climate cost of the war in Ukraine : NPR

Kind of a weird article, if Europe replaces Russian NG with American NG, it's an even swap on emissions except for transportation costs.  And NG as a fuel is very useful, not something "green energy" can readily displace.  NG is widely used for residence heating obviously.  How could they expect to replace that on any urgent basis?  And as for electricity production, it's very useful there as well as a surge provider of power.

The "climate message" has moved into the phase I predicted, one where the hand wringing shifts to more extreme verbiage about how "we" aren't meeting our goals.  DUH.

If indeed we already are 1.1°C on the way to 1.5°C, there is zero way to expect to halt this at that target, none.
