I'm no fan of geoengineering (see this paper from 1996 ) but these specific proposals seem local, potentially reversible interventions to slow down melting, so could be worth investigating. Even if we get to net zero and stabilise the global surface temperature, it would take much longer (decades-centuries) to stabilise ice- melt, deep-ocean warming and consequent sea-level rise, there is a lot of inertia.
Their second approach focuses on meltwater, but thatt has to flow somewhere, maybe better focus to keep ice solid - e.g. I'm surprised no mention is made of the ice-surface albedo - e.g. minimising soot, algae. Minimising aviation-cirrus from planes passing over greenland might also help.

That's great, I'm optimistic about the peaking. Nevertheless 53% coal is still far too much, and May is easy compared to cold winters. A lot of coal is also used to make steel and cement, maybe also declining, but could be good to see relative numbers.
Have kids age 13,15, they are fun, and independent, but sometimes it's difficult to be in the parent role. General issues of motivation to do anything off-screen, or indeed anything suggested by parents, even to come outdoors in summer. We still have ideas, skills to share, but conversations became so short, little chance for in depth discussion, or constructive projects. Traveling together can still be good.
So, what do we do with the greenest areas? Cover them with splodges of grey, of course...
Ils parlent de continuité pour l'école et les fêtes, alors qu'est-ce qu'ils anticipent changer ?
It's about future oil and gas expansion (FOGE), what matters to the atmosphere is the total - identifying potential threat. Effectively multiplying FOGE by area (as shown) doesn't make sense, but neither does FOGE per capita (as most is exported, not consumed locally). I'd suggest just a sized blob for each country - then can show some other dimension with the color.
As I understood all the land borders of Azerbaijan are still closed, since covid, at least until october - so is there still any train running ? Maybe a deliberate policy to keep out enviro-ngos and 'hippy traveler' types who might carry infectious democratic ideas (including to the COP)?
Mais quelle concurrence va venir au plupart des lignes belges, et pourquoi est-ce que cela ferait mal ?
J'ai plutôt peur de l'effet de changement du gouvernement en wallonie.
I've long dreamed of going from Europe to New Zealand by train and boat, but that route is not currently practical / ethical. ( fwiw, I used to know it well, in more friendly days I organised the 'climate train to Kyoto' )
Further south people used the 'silk road' route across the Caspian sea - until Azerbaijan closed land borders.
(note: for info about crossing borders in central asia the forum on caravanistan can help).
That leaves only the route via Turkey - Iran - Pakistan - India, which is possible (depending your passport and visas) although it’s dodgy across Balochistan. And then, after India, there is also a war in Myanmar. So, can only hope for better times.
Maybe it's the expression on the face of the russian provodnitsa ?
Ce serait dommage perdre les pass à dix trajets, qui sont pratiques surtout pour partager entre famille ou groupe, de façon simple et spontané. Ils sont aussi utiles pour traverser le pays entre coins opposés de wallonie et flandre, que les gens font rarement, mais importe pour la cohesion du pays. Mais peut être le sncb manque de l'information, comment ces pass sont utilisés (qui pourrait possiblement dévaloriser certains lignes de long-distance en ardennes).
Modifiant le tarif selon heures de pointe ou creuses, me semblent un pas vers la système britannique.
Si on veux 'simplifier' la gamme des reductions, la système suisse Halbtax fonctionne bien (je doute qu'aucune suisse paie le plein tarif, cela c'est pour attraper des touristes de courte-visite - mais la suisse a bcp plus de touristes que la belgique).
Ayayay. Je ne comprends pas comment vooruit, également ces 'engagés' acceptent cela.
