Jean-Paul Yafali, a resident of nearby Kent, Washington, thanked his good luck for the two secondhand air conditioning units that a friend had given him back in 2019. Drier conditions, for example, mean more of the sun’s energy can go toward heating the air rather than evaporating water from plants and the soil.

Key technologies include electrification, on-board batteries, solar panels, synthetic fuels, carbon capture and storage and possibly hydrogen. The case argues to convert Sleipnir into a ‘Solar-Synthetic’ vessel, combined with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for remaining emissions. Why Do We Need Zero-Emission Vessels?

And so today's report's conclusion that while the scale of the challenge is monumental - the world must peak emissions by 2025, before halving them by 2030 - it also encouragingly makes clear that the world already has all of the tools it needs to achieve these aims, in order to keep the chances of limiting global warming to 1.5C

This is considerably higher compared to 2019, when the 4+ year old ice extent stood at 55,000 square kilometers. In the absence of thick multi-year ice, which can be up to five meters deep, any water that refreezes would take the form of much thinner, more navigable seasonable ice. Good news for boats, bad news for polar bears.
