Late #Spring in #Pakistan, & the government is already considering shutting schools for an early summer break due to the #heatwave.

Astonishing: the Gov is admitting temperature surges of 4-7C (7-13F) above the current heatwave are to occur in the coming few days.

This is what I kept warning! An avg rise of 1.5C means swings of 5-10C making that happen, and in heatwaves or cold snaps thats deadly!

@ProjectFearlessness #Pakistan replaced anywhere between 20-40% of its energy production with rooftop #solar in 2024 alone.

Its been so rapid, despite entrenched fossil lobbies, the Gov has had to cancel future coal and gas power projects, and renegotiate contracts with current ones to lower their prices or just shutter them

No amount of lobbying or narrative building can beat cold hard science and economics.

#Renewables are the future!

Morgan Stanley’s climate forecast [of 3d C temp rise] was tucked into a mundane...report on...air conditioning stocks...

A 3 degree warming scenario, the analysts determined, could more than double the growth rate of the $235 billion cooling market every year, from 3 percent to 7 percent until 2030.

That is to say, confronted with the probability of hell ,they’re figuring out a way to sell air conditioners to the devil."

Of course.

Hands off…the future Bill McKibben, originally published by The Crucial Years April 9, 2025 The only good news I can give you is that we have the tools we need to slow down the rapid heating and give our civilizations a chance. Remarkable news came from Africa last week, where solar mini-grids are starting to roll out at scale, thanks to $30 billion in aid from the World Bank.

"Mark Gongloff and Elaine He at Bloomberg produced a remarkable timeline the other day showing in enormous detail how the Trump administration had, in a matter of weeks, undone twenty years worth of efforts to do something about the climate crisis. It’s not like the U.S. had been providing sterling leadership, but “nothing could have prepared us for the breadth or intensity of the assault on climate action that Trump has unleashed during his first months back in office.” ...As a result of this all-out effort to destroy climate action here and abroad, the analysts at the big banks declared last week that the effort to hold temperature increases to two degrees Celsius—never mind the 1.5 degree target we set at Paris—are probably dead. “We now expect a 3°C world,” Morgan Stanley analysts wrote earlier this month, citing “recent setbacks to global decarbonization efforts.”
