Large scale-power outages caused by tropical #cyclones can be prevented almost entirely if a small but critical set of power lines is protected against storm damages, a new PIK-study with @KatjaFrieler published in @Nature Energy finds: pik-potsdam.de/en/news/lates…

Wer zahlt für die Klimakatastrophe? Bei #COP28 wird u.a. verhandelt, inwiefern Industrieländer ärmere Staaten für Klimafolgen entschädigen sollten. Anhand wissenschaftlicher Berechnungen zeigen wir, welche enormen Summen dafür umverteilt werden müssten. interaktiv.tagesspiegel.de/l…

Tropical cyclones substantially raise the social cost of carbon: With #GlobalWarming the share of the most intense tropical #cyclones is expected to increase so that economies may not be able to recover fully in between storms, a new study shows. pik-potsdam.de/en/news/lates…

Schwere tropische #Wirbelstürme können die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung eines Landes für mehr als ein Jahrzehnt ausbremsen. Berücksichtigt man diese Langzeitfolgen, erhöhen sich die gesellschaftlichen Kosten von CO2-Emissionen weltweit um mehr als 20%: pik-potsdam.de/de/aktuelles/…

Reducing food loss and waste is critical to reducing environmental impacts of food systems. But if left to markets, efficiency improvements will have rebound effects that could wipe out 53–71% of the gains. New research in Nature: nature.com/articles/s43016-0…

Three members of my team published an empirical study in Nature Sustainability on scientists' views re compatibility of economic growth & sustainability. Findings stress need for alternative post-growth perspectives, with agrowth counting on most support. nature.com/articles/s41893-0…

Neu auf klimadashboard.at: Unser Emissions-Explorer zeigt erstmals detailliert, woher Österreichs Emissionen kommen. PKWs und die Metallindustrie sind für jeweils 15% der Gesamtemissionen verantwortlich, schwere Nutzfahrzeuge für 10% und die Verdauung von Nutztieren für 5%!

For those using @jmwooldridge 's "Introductory #Econometrics" book, you probably know about Florian Heiss & Daniel Brunner books for Learning #R and #Python Great news now there is one more using #julia! Great way to learn all the basics! For now he also has the pdfs!

In a growth-based economy growing at 3% annually, global resource use doubles every 24 years. Efficiency is needed but is only effective in an economy without a growth imperitive.

👇It is similar for many other European countries. Sweden reached the peaked in 1970, the UK in 1971, Germany in 1979. And many other European countries in the time since then. Here you can explore all our data on greenhouse gas emissions: ourworldindata.org/explorers…

Zur Erinnerung: Morgen, 18 Uhr, Online-Debatte zu CO2-Entnahme und Speicherung. Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es? Natürliche oder technologische Verfahren? Und sollen wir die Speicherung mit CO2-Preisen vergüten bzw. sie in den Emissionshandel integrieren? x.com/die_debatte/status/163…

#CO2-Speicherung: Mit Technologien das #Klima retten? Das diskutiert #DieDebatte am 28.3. um 18h mit @mkalkuhl @MCC_Berlin, Dr. Elisabeth Dütschke @FraunhoferISI und Prof. Dr. Klaus Wallmann @GEOMAR_de live bei Youtube. Schaltet ein! die-debatte.org/co2speicheru…
