Physics beats statistics. It feels like old news because it is.

Physics-based weather models more accurate than AI at predicting extreme weather

Weather forecasting is another aspect of modern life that artificial intelligence is transforming. Models like GraphCast, Pangu-Weather, and Fuxi are already better than traditional physics-based climate models at predicting some daily weather conditions. However, they are far from perfect. A new study published in the journal Science Advances reports that AI often fails to predict record-breaking extreme weather events.

People in #Canada are not outraged enough. #Alberta is the reason we cannot will not meet our fossil fuel reduction goals.

@whophd @steven_pigeon @BoydStephenSmithJr @rk Good grief no.

@steven_pigeon Benford's Law?

Then there's this: "#Canada, which is sending negotiators but no ministers, is the largest oil and gas producer at the table."

What will our negotiators be trying to do? My bet is on slowing the process of moving away from fossil fuels.

This is the biggest conference yet on phasing out fossil fuels. Will it work? | CBC News

The first conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels kicks off today in Santa Marta, Colombia, where a coalition of countries are meeting outside the regular UN system and talk freely about abandoning the fuels that are causing the climate crisis.

#ClimateChange

Building new fossil gas infrastructure in a world that is rapidly adding enough cheap green electricity generation to manage growth is a mistake #Canada. It's a waste of capital. It's increasing harm from #ClimateChange.

Ottawa approves Enbridge's $4B Sunrise natural gas pipeline expansion project | CBC News

Ottawa has approved Enbridge Inc.'s $4-billion Sunrise natural gas pipeline project in British Columbia, bolstering a West Coast liquefied natural gas project in which the company has a stake, Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson said Friday.

@kevinrns I too cannot understand* how difficult it seems to be to communicate that fossil fuels are the wrong way to move forward, and how much of a missed opportunity renewables are for Canada.

*I do understand: it's the fossil fuel interests who pay to make it difficult.

"Increased solar production was a key reason the growth of carbon-free energy sources outpaced rising demand."

#Canada is doing exactly the wrong things.

Global growth in solar "the largest ever observed for any source"

The International Energy Agency says we've entered the Age of Electricity.

"The future of electricity is wind and solar, new report says. Canada is lagging behind"

Duh.

The future of electricity is wind and solar, new report says. Canada is lagging is behind | CBC News

Renewable energy met all new demand for electricity in 2025, according to a new review of global power generation, preventing any increase in the burning of fossil fuels to produce electricity and highlighting the promise of clean sources like wind and solar.
