#climatebreakdown
The fact that #Pakistan is not to blame for #GlobalWarming is known to everyone. NAP is a framework, but I have my doubts about our leadership's capacity to effectively implement and monitor it.
Can we expect you to develop adaptive capacity in Pakistan given that there's lack of awareness about #climate-related issues?

No government will ever admit “our country is now unliveable”. Power grids have already become as strategically important as food in uninhabitable countries. If the AC goes, it is instant death for millions

Global warming is a Chinese hoax to bankrupt Americans!
Well according to some.

City tells New Yorkers: don’t panic about ‘splooting’ squirrels | New York | The Guardian
It’s baking hot in New York, which can only mean one thing for the city’s small mammal population: it’s splooting season.

‘Soon the world will be unrecognisable’: is it still possible to prevent total climate meltdown? | Climate crisis | The Guardian
From this perspective it is clear we can do little to avoid the coming climate breakdown. Instead we need to adapt to the hothouse world that lies ahead and to start taking action to try to stop a bleak situation deteriorating even further, McGuire says.

All-in-one solar tower produces jet fuel from CO2, water and sunlight | New Atlas
Taking carbon dioxide, water and sunlight as its only inputs, this solar thermal tower in Spain produces carbon-neutral, sustainable versions of diesel and jet fuel. Built and tested by researchers at ETH Zurich, it's a promising clean fuel project.

Cheap gel film pulls buckets of drinking water per day from thin air
Water scarcity is a major problem for much of the world’s population, but with the right equipment drinking water can be wrung out of thin air. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have now demonstrated a low-cost gel film that can pull many liters of water per day out of even very dry air.
The gel is made up of two main ingredients that are cheap and common – cellulose, which comes from the cell walls of plants, and konjac gum, a widely used food additive. Those two components work together to make a gel film that can absorb water from the air and then release it on demand, without requiring much energy.

Time-shifted computing could slash data center energy costs by up to 30% | Ars Technica
Recently, two computer scientists had an idea: if computers use energy to perform calculations, could stored data be a form of stored energy? Why not use computing as a way to store energy?
What if information could be a battery, man?
As it turns out, the idea isn’t as far-fetched as it may sound. The “information battery” concept, fleshed out in a recent paper, would perform certain computations in advance when power is cheap—like when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing—and cache the results for later. The process could help data centers replace up to 30 percent of their energy use with surplus renewable power.

Why keeping it cool is matter of survival for some species – in pictures | Environment | The Guardian
It’s that time of year when snowy animals grace Christmas cards and advertising campaigns, but in reality many of them are facing an uncertain future owing to climate change and nature loss.
The WWF has highlighted eight species suffering the effects of climate change, such as the polar bear and walrus of the Arctic to the mountain hare of Scotland and the snow leopard of the Himalayas

Canada floods: 18,000 people still stranded in ‘terrible, terrible disaster’ | Canada | The Guardian
Emergency crews in western Canada were still trying to reach some 18,000 people stranded by landslides and struggling to find food among bare grocery store shelves after devastating flooding.
With communities in the region braced for more torrential rain in already inundated areas next week , the premier of British Columbia province declared an emergency and gave an emotional address in a press conference on Thursday.
