Scientists have discovered that the stickiness of underwater “marine snow” plays a surprisingly important role in how much carbon reaches the deep ocean. Gooier particles resist bacterial breakdown and can transport more than six times as much carbon to the depths, revealing an unexpected connection between ocean slime and Earth's climate https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/11/261105224558.htm #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

To meet electricity demand through 2030, the IEA calculates annual grid investment must increase by about 50% from today’s $400 billion per year. Any delays will substantially increase global emissions by prolonging reliance on fossil fuels, the IEA warns “Power grids have not been readied enough for the scaleup of renewable electricity generation” https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/life/greenpage/2026/11/08/upgrading-power-grids-to-accommodate-renewable-energy-is-a-key-issue-at-climate-talks #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Turkey #COP31 Lignite is the lowest grade of coal, meaning burning it releases higher amounts of carbon dioxide than more energy-dense coal Last year, coal was Turkey’s largest electricity source, generating 34% of the country’s power, making Turkey Europe’s biggest coal-fired electricity generator https://www.kslm.news/news/turkish-villagers-demand-cop31-leaders-see-for-themselves-devastation-caused-by-coal-mw7msts0 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#USA #US But in truth, the US betrayal on climate has always been much, much bigger than Trump The multiple veto points that exist across its legislative system - as well as the strength of its fossil-fuel lobby – mean that the US never developed the same political consensus around climate action as occurred in the UK and EU (text available in “reading mode”) https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/cop31-turkey-antalya-cliamte-change-trump-conference-b3080710.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

America’s climate betrayal has always been much bigger than Trump

The US is the only major economy not in attendance at the Cop31 conference in Antalya – but it will take more than Donald Trump’s midterm reckoning to restore its diplomatic influence, says Nick Ferris

#Turkey #COP31 they should protect the space for civic action, which in Turkey is under constant attack.

If you belong to a professional body, ask it three questions. Does its code of conduct mention climate change? Does the training you need to stay qualified cover it? Where is your pension invested? If the answers are no, no and don’t know, our paper sets out how your profession could change them https://theconversation.com/from-doctors-and-teachers-to-lawyers-every-profession-has-a-duty-to-align-with-climate-goals-294914 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
