Northern Lights goes into operation

The inauguration of the CO₂ transport and storage facility "Northern Lights" in Øygarden near Bergen was celebrated by many as a milestone in the fight against climate change. However, there are also critical voices that see the project as a possible whitewashing campaign by the major oil companies Shell and TotalEnergies. They argue that the plant will not have a decisive impact on global CO₂ emissions and will therefore only marginally slow down climate change.

One piece of good news: Less sulfur in marine exhaust leads to faster global warming

*machine translation*

It seems that part of the accelerated global warming is due to lower sulfur emissions from the world's fleets. This is argued, for example, in the article"Global warming in the pipeline".

Even though this is easily seen as negative, I think it is reasonably good news.

It shows how quickly the Earth system responds to a change in solar radiation. And it shows that we humans can influence this solar radiation in an amazingly short time.
