What I've seen of the ITER experiment in France is quite disappointing, a lot of internal strife and overruns.
Kind of like NASA

ITER is also plagued by "international uncooperation" apparently, in addition to the usual.  The folks resent having a Japanese person on top, or whoever else.  They have split into national factions often as not from what I've read.

It is human nature to have folks vying for power, but when nationalities get sparked, it is like building a house with half Michigan carpenters and half OSU dry wallers.

Nice find bwarbiany.

As for fusion, MIT is apparently trying to have a prototype system ready by 2025 and commercialize it in the next 15 years. I'm skeptical, but I hope they can do it.

The ITER thing is the large expensive international effort on fusion.  There are a lot of smaller efforts as well.

The association between sun spots and climate is interesting, but never validated that I know of.  It was thought to be related to the "Little Ice Age", perhaps.

Keeling said they have since redone the calculations, finding the ocean is still likely warmer than the estimate used by the IPCC. However, that increase in heat has a larger range of probability than initially thought — between 10 percent and 70 percent, as other studies have already found.
“Our error margins are too big now to really weigh in on the precise amount of warming that’s going on in the ocean,” Keeling said. “We really muffed the error margins.”
A correction has been submitted to the journal Nature.
