Untersuchungen zeigen, dass die COP28 mit dem Emissions Peak für Treibhausgase zusammenfallen könnte. Um das 1,5°-Ziel zu erreichen, müssten allerdings die Emissionen bis 2030 um die Hälfte sinken. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2023/nov/29/cop28-what-could-climate-conference-achieve

Der FDP-Vorsitzende Christian Lindner hat in einem Interview den von der Ampelkoalition beschlossenen Ausstieg aus der Kohleverstromung bis 2023 in Frage gestellt. Dabei behauptete er fälschlicherweise, die dardurch in Deutschland eingesparten Emissionen würden anderen EU-Staaten zur Verfügung gestellt. https://taz.de/Lindner-gegen-Kohleausstieg-2030/!5966983/

Geplante Klima-Regulierungen der Labour-geführten Regierung Australiens würden es dem Guardian zufolge ermöglichen, dass zehn Kohlekraftwerke ihre Emissionen bis 2030 weiter steigern. Blieben sie unter den festgesetzten Limits, könnten sie Verschmutzungsrechte lukrativ an andere Unternehmen verkaufen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/03/labor-coalmine-safeguard-mechanism-climate-scheme-emissions-benefits

In den G20 Ländern haben die Emissionen durch Kohleverbrennung seit 2015 um 9% zugenommen. Australien verursacht - einer Analyse des Think Tanks Ember zufolge - noch immer von allen G20 Länder die höchsten Pro-Kopf-Emissionen durch Kohleverbrennung. Sie liegen bei über 4 Tonnen CO₂ im Jahr, das ist etwa eine Tonne mehr als in China. Auch in Südkorea sind die Pro-Kopf-Emissionen durch Kohle höher als in China. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/05/australia-has-highest-per-capita-co2-emissions-from-coal-in-g20-analysis-finds

Frankreich hat die Laufzeit der beiden letzten Kohlekraftwerke bis Ende 2024 verlängert. Dazu wurde der Grenzwert für die Emissionen von Kraftwerken im Widerspruch zu einem französischen Klimaschutzgesetz. heraufgesetzt. Für Nicolas Nace, einen Sprecher von Greenpeace, ist diese Entscheidung symptomatisch für das Scheitern der französischen Energiepolitik. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/pollution/prolongation-des-centrales-a-charbon-cest-totalement-indecent-mais-cela-correspond-au-double-discours-du-gouvernement-20230825_6XFBELECZBEOZBC4VRJ64SGY5M/

China hat viermal so umfangreiche Projekte zur Kohleverstromung genehmigt wie im Vorjahr. Die Leistung wird damit um 50 Gigawatt gesteigert. Hinter dieser Politik steht die Angst vor Energieknappheit. 2022 würden in China Kapazitäten für 87 Gigawatt erneuerbare Energien geschaffen, sich das ist ein Rekord.

Eine noch nicht verabschiedete Regierungsvorlage sieht vor, dass Indien keine weiteren Kohlekraftwerke baut. Die im Bau befindlichen Anlagen werden 28 zusätzliche Gigawatt produzieren. taz-Artikel mit Angaben zur Kohleenergie in Indien. https://taz.de/Kohleausbaustopp-in-Indien/!5930159/

Die Planungen neuer Kohlekraftwerke und die Nutzung von Kohleenergie haben im vergangenen Jahr neue Höchststände erreicht. Vor allem China plant viele neue Kraftwerke. Der Bericht Boom and Burst Coal des Global Energy Monitor stellt außerdem fest, dass Kohlekraftwerke weltweit viereinhalb Mal schneller abgeschaltet werden müssten, um das Ziel des Verzichts auf Kohleenergie bis 2040 zu erreichen.

Bulgarien weigert sich bis jetzt, den von der EU vorgeschriebenen Kohleausstieg zu vollziehen. Ein Konflikt um Fördergelder steht bevor. Die politisch Verantwortlichen informieren die Bevölkerung falsch.

Quote - matter is a phase of consciousness

Author - Iain McGilchrist

Definition - Global Phase Shift - A global process of civilizational transition in which - Human civilization - a complex adaptive system, - in the twenty-first century finds itself - at the early stages of a systemic phase-shift - which is already manifesting in local sub-system failures - in every major region of the periphery of the global system. - In this context, it is precisely the acceleration of global system failure - that paves the way for the possibility of - fundamental systemic transformation, - and the emergence of a new phase-shift in the global system - Human civilization is in the midst - of a global transition - to a completely new system - which is being forged from the ashes of the old. - Yet the contours of this new system remain very much subject to our choices today - there remains a capacity for agents - within the global system - to generate adaptive responses that, - through the power of transnational information flows, - hold the potential to enhance collective consciousness. - The very breakdown of the prevailing system - heralds the potential for long-term post-breakdown systemic transformation.

Key observation - due to the critical role of information in phase-transitions, - the primary pathway to global systemic transformation - will depend on our ability to process information on our current predicament coherently - in order to translate this into adaptive action.

Der Aufsatz und die ihm zugrundeliegende Publikation kritisieren, dass die 1,5°-pathways des IPCC den Kohleausstieg vor dem Öl- und Gassausstieg fordern. Damit tragen die ärmeren Länder die Hauptlast. Gerechter und besser umzusetzen wäre ein schnellerer Ausstieg aus Öl und Gas, der vom globalen Norden eine schnellere Transformation verlangen würde.

The main software development project phases, such as design, code writing, testing, deployment, and support, are well-liked by most entrepreneurs. But what about the Phase of Project Discovery? The Discovery Phase is the most underappreciated stage, and it may appear to be far more important than the others combined. The discovery phase of a project is frequently associated with unnecessary costs and, on occasion, with saving tens of thousands of dollars. The project discovery phase, on the other hand, is all about cost-effective product development.

So, you came up with a new product idea. What’s next? For sure, you want to get a time and cost estimation from a software agency. However, most likely, they won’t be able to provide an accurate timeline and development costs after your request.

The matter is that to provide an estimate, a development team needs more information than you think. Is there any solution in this situation? Sure, it is a project discovery phase.

In this article, we will share a brief overview of a project discovery stage, and cover its goals, main tasks, and results for customers.

Shapoorji Pallonji Joyville Sector 102 Gurgaon is a premium residential project in close proximity to Delhi. Contemporary construction, state-of-the-art amenities, top-notch security, and huge green expanse make the project highly demanding. Nestled right close to major establishments like hospitals, schools, malls, and offices.

This supports my speculation from another study, found here.

Figure 6.1.4 : Temperature versus heat. The system is constructed so that no vapor evaporates while ice warms to become liquid water, and so that, when vaporization occurs, the vapor remains in the system. The long stretches of constant temperatures at 0oC and 100oC reflect the large amounts of heat needed to cause melting and vaporization, respectively.

Phase 3 focuses on students independent thinking and collaborative thinking and builds on skills developed in previous phases. This phase requires that the students have defined questions, reliable resources, citations, and a final product that communicates their learning and research to others.

Phase 2: Essentially students and teachers initially have a thinking brainstorm session about the topic/theme. Teacher is the model in the start of this phase and then lets the student take the reigns. Students have responsibility for teaching their peers online reading comprehension strategies. Also moves into critical evaluation and synthesis skills.

phase 1; basics and introduction to internet skills, searching, etc.

It’ll be very interesting to experiment with phase-focused modules. Even when we intellectually know how phase affects sound, we often have a hard time figuring out how we can leverage it.

"phase-angle differ­ences simply refer to whether the phases, the parts of one rhythmic pattern, lag, precede, or coincide with those of another."

The James Bay hydroelectric project proposed to construct watersheds along the eastern shores of the Hudson Bay from James Bay to Ungava Bay in Canada. This distance is approximately 750 miles. It would alter nineteen waterways and create 27 reservoirs (Linton, 1991). The first phase of construction, called La Grande River phase, was planned to generate more than ten megawatts, which is the equivalent of roughly ten nuclear power plants. This portion of the project would require large impoundment reservoirs, comparable to the size of the state of Connecticut. The James Bay hydroelectric project was the first “mega-scale hydroelectric project to be built in the sub-Arctic.” The project was proposed in the early 1970s, at a time when “physical and social environmental effects were not taken into significant consideration” (Hornig, 2000). Due to its timing and lack of environmental assessment and research, the James Bay hydroelectric project was compared to the Mackenzie Valley pipeline proposals of Arctic Gas and Foothills within the Berger Inquiry. At the time, during the 1970s, there were few people who actively opposed the construction of the James Bay hydroelectric plant. They included the Cree inhabitants of the area and some environmental activists. However, during the 1980s, after the completion of the La Grande River phase, opposition became more frequent and more apparent as concerns about environmental impacts became more well-known.
