On Tuesday 16 September, a Guardian panel of experts will be looking to answer questions about the forces driving the pushback against a greener world.

We want to hear from our readers globally as not everyone can make the live event. Send in your climate crisis questions and we will put a selection of them to our panel on the day.

For the first time, a study maps safe areas that can practically be used for underground carbon storage, and estimates that using them all would only cut warming by 0.7°C. The result is almost ten times lower than previous estimates of around 6°C,

So much for CCS.

Thilly proceeded to ask if anyone wanted to see him perform a backspin. When no one responded, he laid on the ground, lifted his feet and spun several times. As he danced, the crowd stayed silent

U.S. cities are facing a growing threat that goes beyond hot weather or hazy air. New research from the University of Oklahoma reveals that "compound events"—periods when heat wave conditions coincide with high air pollution levels—are becoming more frequent and intense in urban areas across the United States.

Interesting history (recent) of "saving" the GBR. The anecdote about Unions halting the exploration for oil and gas back in the day.

The puch is in the last two paragraphs.

Unfortunately, “saving” the reef doesn’t just have to be done once. All coral reefs face human threats: fishing, coastal development and declining water quality. But these pale compared to the big one – climate change. As intense marine heatwaves multiply, coral bleaches over large areas and can die.

In the 1960s, conservationists fought hard to stop oil and gas on the reef. Their campaign eventually succeeded. But the reef couldn’t escape the damage done by the oil and gas extracted and burned everywhere else. Saving the reef is going to be even harder this time round.

Thread of Lopards's gorging on faces on Mastodon.

Not really sure how to link the two ? (Lemmy and Mastodon)

Former security leaders warn major threat going ignored Former Defence chief Chris Barrie said Australia needed to reorder its foreign policy priorities, with traditional geopolitical risks set to be displaced by climate change.

Australia has put all its eggs in the AUKUS basket, risking entanglement in a war with China, while the far greater threat to Australians' security is being ignored," he said.

Which is essentially what The Greens Nick Minchin said last year and was poo poohed for not understaning "defence". I wonder if his detractors will say the same thing of Admiral Barrie (retired) ?
