Puma Is Cutting CO2 and Saving Water Across its Supply Chain

Environment + Energy Leader

Puma aims to reduce its Scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2025 from a 2017 baseline. It also plans to cut its Scope 3 emissions tied to its value chain for purchased goods and services by 60% by 2030, achieved primarily by focusing on the transport of goods and cutting down on its air freight by.

A CERES of fortunate events…

Real Climate

We can explore the issues and pitfalls of this using the ‘simple model’ of the greenhouse effect we explored back in 2007. The simplest model for the greenhouse effect. Over the last 20 years the LW radiative forcing change from well-mixed greenhouse gases is around 0.7 A simple model with feedbacks.

Climate Change Is Turning California’s Wildfire Season into Wildfire Year

Union of Concerned Scientists

Until 2017, winter wildfires in California didn’t burn much area. In 2017, however, a record number of fires burned during the winter months. A cycle of climate impacts throughout the year can compound to create dangerous conditions, like we saw ahead of 2017’s unprecedented winter wildfires (Fig. Winter wildfires.

Ontario’s So-Called Affordable Energy Act Will Leave Ontarians in the Dark About Energy Decisions and Costs

Enviromental Defense

Worse still, the law strips energy planning of its focus on addressing climate change and greenhouse gas reductions and sidelines the critical role of energy conservation.

GM Has Become an ‘Energy Star’ with Efficiency and Circular Programs

Environment + Energy Leader

It achieved that goal in 2017. In 2010, GM committed to a 20% reduction in carbon intensity by 2020. And in January 2021, it said it would source 100% renewable energy to power GM facilities in the U.S. by 2030 and globally by 2035.

A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

A friend asked me if a discussion paper published on Statistics Norway’s website, ‘ To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions? ’, was purposely timed for the next climate summit ( COP28 ). All this can be explained by physical processes and an enhanced greenhouse effect.

Sea level in the IPCC 6th assessment report (AR6)

Real Climate

The IPCC has introduced a new high-end risk scenario, stating that a global rise “approaching 2 m by 2100 and 5 m by 2150 under a very high greenhouse gas emissions scenario cannot be ruled out due to deep uncertainty in ice sheet processes.”. The IPCC gives more consideration to the large long-term sea-level rise beyond the year 2100.
