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

Upgrading power grids to accommodate renewable energy is a key issue at climate talks

Outdated power grids are a major hurdle in the transition to renewable energy, since older systems often can

#USA #US #COP31 They can get serious at COP31 and join with us in the net zero transition. If they don’t the world may be watching a major contraction of the US economy as it tries to hold onto yesterday’s fuels and vehicles. Can we convince the new Democrat-based US system to join this net zero transition? We don’t want a nuclear bomb and Elon has opted for the stars as his focus. It’s time for the US to re-join the world in COP31 https://johnmenadue.com/post/2026/11/time-for-the-us-to-rejoin-the-world-on-climate-action/ #ClimateChange #pollution #climate

Time for the US to rejoin the world on climate action

American voters punished Republicans over petrol prices but neither party offered a path away from oil. China and others are racing ahead on net zero transition. COP31 is the moment for the US to rejoin the world – or watch its economy contract.

#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

October 2026 was the warmest October on record globally, with an average surface air temperature of 15.35°C, 1.75°C above the estimated 1850-1900 pre-industrial average for the month, surpassing the previous October record set in 2023 by 0.05°C. https://climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-temperature-october-2026 #ClimateChange #globalwarming #elnino
Surface air temperature for October 2026
climate.copernicus.eu

Surface air temperature for October 2026

October 2026 was the warmest October on record globally and the third consecutive month with temperatures more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level. The predicted annual global temperature for 2026 is also predicted to exceed 1.5°C. For Europe as a whole, it was the second-warmest October on record. The sea surface temperature for the extra-polar ocean reached a record high for October, as an exceptionally strong El Niño continued to strengthen in the tropical Pacific.
