2023 could be a climate tipping point and the year global governments start to react in a much more serious way, fear will do that. When humans face problems we tend to band together and organize to address the problem, let's hope that human trait saves our asses. Unless liberal democracies elect idiots and China changes course, we should see big changes with places like China and India having the most incentive. We might even need a temporary geoengineering solution until we can get the carbon levels down and not add any more fossil carbon or methane to the atmosphere.
We can decarbonize energy production, transportation, steel and cement making and need to do it fast. There will be new international rules, economic sanctions and import bans for non-compliance, things are about to get serious IMO.

Solid-state battery maker ProLogium shuns US for US$6 billion factory as Americans are still on the fence about EVs
Just a quarter of the US public is looking to buy an electric vehicle compared to half of Europe and this statistic has weighed against a giant solid-state battery factory by ProLogium in the US. Instead, the Mercedes partner will build it in France with US$1.65 billion in grants at the R&D phase.

Classic Tweet format: Claim non-fact 20 days late, blow it up, spark faux outrage. Maybe she should get off twitter and find some decent news resources.

We have an aphorism.
Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.
It’s an obsolescent bon mot.

It’s long been an established fact that climate change will have a disproportionate effect on Africa, it’s a known ”climate change hotspot” and by many considered the most vulnerable continent. Even far right knows it, fearing the projected mass migration out of Africa and Middle east.
Literally billions of people and every major international news outlet talked about the topics she claims no one is talking about…
…while encircling the Sahara desert on a map used in a news item about the heathwave in southern europe.
Google ‘persian gulf 152 heat index’ and behold the many who talked about it when it happened and was news, 3 weeks before her tweet.
She’s complaining about a made up scenario where no one gives a shit about climate change in Africa, Middle East and China or at the very least is ignored or surpressed or w/e she’s trying to imply. Maybe we should just use “global warming” again. Take the idiots who on a cold day claim it’s fake news for granted.
Only thing she’s trying to help is her social media presence. Quick look at her account shows she‘s very familiar with the format.
That‘s not how you reach the people who need to be reached.

What she is doing, perhaps unawarely (I do like recursive irony) is saying “I have been ignorant of this oft-discussed matter!”
Back in the 70s I remember consternation about the desertification of the Sahel. In retrospect, that was an advance indicator of the collapse of arable, then goatable land on the great desert’s edge.
The other place to watch is Greenland. When it happens, it’ll happen disorientingly fast. It rained on the high ice not so long ago.

Day before yesterday Tally set a record high for the date of 99F. I had no choice but to be there yesterday. My car said it was 100F after I had drove it for a while, so it might have been legit. But I haven't looked at any of their local news, so don't know if they broke records two days in a row.

These places are springing up in a lot of locations all over North America as automakers and other high rollers bet the farm on EVs and battery storage. This is part of the green energy revolution underway globally and we have little choice about reducing carbon emissions, and not much time to do it.

The money shot:
Fast charging stations – which only charge EV’s up to 90% – cost more than gas for the same mileage.

EV batteries and charging infrastructure are not there yet IMO and an EV makes sense if most of your driving is commuting, and you are charging from home. Many homeowners will have the option of reducing their transportation costs with home solar generation and storage. Even traditional Li-on batteries will have much better temperature performance, capacity and lifetimes soon. I figure the situation will change quite a bit in 5 years, in terms of charging and vehicle options. Not that many people can afford the bloated offerings they have for EVs these days and the automakers are appealing to the more affluent market, those who can afford to make the transition. There will be a demand for smaller cheaper EVs that most people can afford to buy and operate, or we will be using a lot more public transport and a lot of companies will go out of business. The average age of the light vehicle fleet is increasing as is the demand for used cars and this is a sign that increasing numbers of people can no longer afford a new car.One man’s lousy EV experience.
