Last Notes npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Indeed. At some point, even some climate scientists felt the need to discuss the 'hiatus'. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun August 2026 was the hottest on record globally, followed by 2023, 2024, and 2025. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Unlikely, unfortunately, as emissions are not decreasing. El Niño will probably cause an acceleration. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Russia is now losing 1,200-1,500 soldiers *per day* in its failing invasion of Ukraine. Mobilisation is expected after the Russian 'elections' next week. Thousands of men are fleeing the country already. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun This didn't change, though: npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Unfortunately a bit higher than my earlier estimate: the August average atmospheric CO2 concentration at Mauna Loa was 427.55 ppm, that's around 2.1 ppm higher than last year. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun RE: https://chaos.social/@bitsoffreedom/117236249652327812 npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun 82% of the German population say that Merz's current CDU/CSU-SPD coalition government insufficiently looks after the interests of lower and middle income families. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Today, the Trump-Netanyahu mess in the Middle East has driven up EU natural gas price even higher: 77 €/MWh now. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun The Dutch "Ha, but we have world class water management" response to sea level rise will probably sound a bit less enthusiastic once its annual bill has doubled to €22 billion, and still not all damage is being avoided. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun The new climate cost estimates are big news today. But then we'll probably kick the can down the road for a few years, and then they'll be back with a vengeance: annual amounts higher, growing steeper. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Next question: Who's gonna pay for this, together with all the other adaptation bills coming in and the investments we need to reduce our emissions to zero? npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun And that's just the increase in expenditure. Much of the current €11 billion per year is probably already related to climate change too. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun That'll be another €132 billion then, up to 2050, assuming linear increase. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun The crazy amounts already needed for climate adaptation make serious climate action look like a walk in the park (financially). npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun For fossil fuel cars, the 'official' (test) emissions were already much higher than their real world emissions. Now the gap for plug-in hybrids has become absurd. We need to lower our emissions, and we need to reduce the EU's dependence on fossil fuel imports, and both don't care about 'official' fake numbers. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun How Trump and Musk made the Nepal disaster worse, by glaciologist dr Heïdi Sevestre: npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Congratulations for AfD from the other side, where Trump also took a strong interest in this German state election. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun And, just to be sure, the AfD immediately thanked Musk for his support: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/07/afd-thanks-elon-musk-german-state-elections-2026-win npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun You're welcome! npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun If the far-left BSW just makes it into the Saxony-Anhalt parliament too (threshold 5%), the two might team up in a pro-Russia majority coalition. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun They could take a course in the US. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Thinking about how this news lands in Ukraine. https://bsky.app/profile/kyivindependent.com/post/3muupxysons2e npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Normally, the AfD would now go after independent judges, media and educators. The legal system is probably hard to change from one state, so media and education first? npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun No known voter suppression here. Turnout was far higher than last time. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun 93 years after Hitler won the German elections, and 87 years after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, 44% of voters in Saxony-Anhalt thought handing power to a far-right pro-Russia party was a good idea. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Don't forget who co-invested in Musk's takeover of Twitter: npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Nee, tegen zomerhitte is zonwering veel belangrijker. Goede isolatie zonder zonwering, eidt zelfs tot meer oververhitting. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Dan kunnen de zomers iets minder heter worden, maar vooral de winters veel kouder. Ik betwijfel of de bouwnormen daar al rekening mee houden. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun From around 2030, new homes in the Netherlands will have to be ready for the hotter summers of... 2033 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦 npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun UK electric car sales jump 30% in August to lead market, data shows npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Good morning! npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun 89% of Americans now say government corruption is ‘widespread.’ npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun The issue is that [Musk's] Cybercab has no steering wheel, no pedals, and no mirrors, features normally required by federal safety rules. Tesla certified the vehicle itself and has not applied for an official exemption. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Berlin cyberattack: hackers leak highly sensitive data across dark web npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun "Future generations would rather have a high national debt than an unlivable planet." npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun More plants on warming mountain summits, but species that used to live there disappear. The arriving species already had a place to live, lower on the mountain, but the disappearing ones won't find a new place. 'Escalator to extinction', an effective phrase to describe this. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun I doubt that. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Overall, we're still speeding in the wrong direction! npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun August average atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa: ~427.3 ppm npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Like the previous one, our current Dutch government coalition seems to spend considerably more time on asylum seekers than on climate change. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Op opwarmende bergtoppen groeien meer planten, maar de soorten die er al waren verdwijnen juistMore plants on warming mountain summits, but species that used to live there disappear. The arriving species already had a place to live, lower on the mountain, but the disappearing ones won't find a new place. 'Escalator to extinction', an effective phrase to describe this. Similar to what happens to species moving towards the poles. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun What does this mean? npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Here: https://archive.ph/q8NWy and in The Nerd Reich, on page 70 in my paperback, last page of chapter 2. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Ukraine officially informs ICAO that Russian airspace is dangerous for civil aviation npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun You can find @unep.org's new report 'Limiting Overshoot - Navigating exceedance of 1.5°C and pathways towards return' here: https://www.unep.org/resources/limiting-overshoot-navigating-exceedance npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun .. have to fight our way back to 1.5°C by sustained net negative emissions (carbon dioxide removal). That's not going to be easy, but we have to. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun 11 years after the Paris Agreement, @unep.org concludes that keeping global warming below 1.5°C is now impossible, because global fossil fuel use and emissions kept growing (slowly) instead of going down. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Trump says Iran is dead, and vows to keep fighting Iran. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun There he is again, in the British Museum this time. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun On our Interrail tour two years ago, the train from Tallinn to Valga and then on to Riga didn't run (we took a bus), but we did take the train from Riga to Siauliai and then to Klaipeda. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Here we go again. Trump still can't find a way out of his self-created swamp. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun The Netherlands' has a high natural gas consumption. Some of the stored gas indeed went to the the UK. Our EU commitment is 74%, our government's own goal is 80%. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun France is doing quite well too. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun The large remaining gap to an 80% filling level of EU gas storages by the start of the heating season is starting to get noticed in the media. They note that the situation 'differs by country'. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Peter Thiel was one of the first Silicon Valley tech billionaires openly supporting Trump. Speaking at the 2016 Republican National Convention, he he concluded his speech with "Tonight, I urge all of my fellow Americans to stand up and vote for Donald Trump! " npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun No, just the enemy not being able to recognise his real conspiracy. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Dutch parliament asked the same minister Van Weel if Thiel's Palantir software was used for other purposes too. He said no. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Ah yes, our Dutch military uses Thiel's Palantir software as well. Our ministry confirms that it has access to sensitive information during military exercises "but only in exceptional cases!" npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Thiel is the guy from which the Dutch police buys Palantir software. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Peter Thiel in a 2014 email to a fellow anti-democracy activist: npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Making use of the Trump regime's anti-science actions, Canada just attracted 48 US professors and their teams 'in competition with Europe'. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun London Science Museum cuts links with BP after decades of partnership npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Either that or "Let's see if we can reach bipartisan agreement on this" npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun In the Mediterranean, the terrible summer of 2026 isn't over yet. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun US military academy students are not allowed to learn basic facts about climate change anymore. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun "Ratko Mladic, the 'butcher of Bosnia', was the man behind the genocide in Srebrenica." npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Fossil fuel sales for cars and trucks are decreasing in the Netherlands: diesel down by 40% since 2019, petrol (benzine) flat. Efficiency + electrification are having impact. Big electrification wave for trucks still to come. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun On the situation in Germany: npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Out of the main LNG exporting countries, that leaves Australia. Not the most logical supplier distance-wise, and normally supplying Asian countries. And in the EU, we had decided to finally stop importing LNG from Russia by 31 December. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Good evening! npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Gasunie does not buy or sell gas. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun We're of course making Europe more dependent on regular LNG supply now. Trump has already threatened to use US LNG to put pressure on the EU, e.g. for being nasty to his tech billionaire buddies. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Dutch state-owned gas transmission company Gasunie confirms that the Netherlands will not be able to meet its gas storage filling targets of 74% (EU commitment) or 80% (government goal) by October. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Super nice of Ukraine. Perhaps a double dose tonight then? npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun German government has made quite an effort in the EC to stave off the #Verbrenneraus ('look, we should be allowed to burn something'). Now they may be starting to see a #Volkswagenaus instead npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Luxemburg houdt de belasting laag en probeert dan zoveel mogelijk te verkopen aan passerende buitenlandse automobilisten. Belasting-concurrentie in het klein :) npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun So do I. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Today we learn that Saudi crown prince MBS may have been involved in the murder of Khashoggi, but that he and Macron share a passion for Dragon Ball Z. So now there will be a Saudi Dragon Ball Z theme park near Paris. French officials see this as proof that France remains attractive to investors. https://nos.nl/l/2628196 npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun German state leader urges joint action to avert Volkswagen plant closures. Such a pity that the company spent so much time and effort in hiding the emissions of its diesel engines instead of racing to become an EV company. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/german-state-leader-urges-joint-action-avert-volkswagen-plant-closures-2026-08-24 npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun The advantage to Shell c.s. is obvious: less complaining when they actually charge something close to €2.61 at one of their fuel stations along the highway. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun The daily average is published daily by car drivers association ANWB: https://www.anwb.nl/auto/brandstof/benzineprijs npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun In the Netherlands, petrol is relatively expensive (due to taxes). But media often report on the 'recommended price' by Shell c.s., which is way above the average sales price. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun (sorry, not a forecast by IEA, but the price for 2030 in its Stated Energy Policies scenario) npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Last year, Dutch government agency PBL used an IEA wholesale natural gas price forecast of €20 per MWh by 2030 for its Climate & Energy Outlook (KEV 2025), sharply down from the 2024 price. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Oil stocks in US Strategic Petroleum Reserve fall by 3.7 million barrels to their lowest level since 1982. npub1sgjhacw0h48zjf3la38c90fydtnlq2uty0fyrff9tmmag98urpyqrxvpjx Kees van der Leun Just arrived: The Nerd Reich, by @gilduran.com.
