The summary for policymakers of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sixth synthesis report was released on March 20th (available online as a PDF ). There is a recording of the IPCC Press Conference – Climate Change 2023: Synthesis Report for those who are interested in watching an awkward release of the report. It strikes me that the IPCC perhaps assumes that everyone is climate literate and are up to speed on climate change.

Últimamente me han preguntado mucho si California sigue en sequía. Esta pregunta surgió recientemente con la medida de acumulación de nieve en California por parte del estado. Mi respuesta como defensor del Derecho Humano al Agua es que la sequía no terminará hasta que todas las personas tengan acceso a agua potable. Los impactos de la sequía no se experimentan de manera uniforme en el estado y tampoco la recuperación de sus impactos.

Most climate change projections end at the end of this century. When the IPCC issued its first report, however, 2100 was 110 years in the future. Looking that far ahead right now would bring us closer to 2150 than to 2100. We’re only beginning to get a sense of the impacts of climate change that far ahead. What happens if we get to net zero? Basically, the temperature will tend to stick at the same level for a long time.

The failure of gas-burning power plants to provide energy in cold weather is back in the news. In the latest development, gas power plant owners are now facing performance penalties levied by the grid operator PJM and they are attacking PJM for enforcing the rules designed to ensure reliability. An added irony here is that the penalties—a total of more than $1 billion—are meant to pay incentives to the plants that over-performed their obligations, and that includes windfarms.
