EDF moves into the hydrogen market : Energy & Environment - World Nuclear News
France's EDF has launched a hydrogen production and distribution subsidiary to support decarbonisation of industry and mobility using low-carbon electricity from its nuclear and renewable energy fleet.
Today, the CO2 level is the highest it has been for several million years. Back then, temperatures were 3-4C hotter, sea level was 15-20 metres higher and trees grew at the south pole.

Why the Guardian is putting global CO2 levels in the weather forecast
As CO2 levels climb, the carbon count is a daily reminder we must tackle climate change now

Hey yall. Check out my wife's blog, willowsandwisdom.com when u get a chance. It's basically about how Marie Kondo turned her into an anarchist.

Arctic Has Entered 'Unprecedented State' That Threatens Global Climate Stability Article, Comments
5.2. Closing remarks
Increasingly clear linkages are evident within and between multiple Arctic climate indicators, having cascading effects, from condensed flowering and pollination plant species periods; timing mismatch between plant flowering and pollinators; increased plant vulnerability to insect disturbance; increased shrub biomass; increased ignition of wildfires; increased growing season CO2uptake, with counterbalancing increases in shoulder season and winter CO2 emissions; increased carbon cycling, regulated by local hydrology and permafrost thaw; conversion between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; and shifting animal distribution and demographics.
The Arctic biophysical system is now clearly trending away from its previous state and into a period of unprecedented change, with implications not only within but also beyond the Arctic. These indicator-based observations also provide a foundation for the research that is needed to address the gaps in knowledge and to support a more integrated understanding of the Arctic region and its role in the global dynamics of the Earth's biogeophysical systems.
