Thread and new research on whether Europe would be better off building renewables locally everywhere, or only in the best locations and then providing more interconnection capacity. TLDR: could do it either way, costs not vastly different, think about resilience.
Continental or local? 100% renewable electricity supply in Europe can be both. But cost and especially required infrastructure differ. Read our new @Joule_CP study: https://t.co/5l6i3sIGLI. With @JLilliestam @stemarelli @stefpf @IASS_Potsdam @ETH. HIGHLIGHTS BELOW👇

Not good. Clearly those subsidies have to go.
Countries are failing to curb emissions. A new report lays much blame on government subsidies for fossil-fuel industries

We know how to save the climate in mathematical models but is it possible in the real world? @acherp & I propose a new method to explore feasibility of climate mitigation @WIREs_Reviews

Phlippe Tulkens (EU Commission, DG RTD) at the Emp-E conference: "Black box models are no longer science. Science need to be accountable, verifiabe by scientific peers". Good to heat that #OpenSource and #OpenData for energy models will be part the next Horizon programme

Hey @NewYorker, I fixed the headline for you: "What if we stopped pretending that false prophecies of unavoidable doom are anything other than crypto-denialist narratives that favor an agenda of inaction?" (see: https://t.co/b9YzeRvPe6)

The evidence that climate change is a serious challenge that we must tackle now is very clear. There is no need to overstate it.

OK comparison of travel option emisisons, but misses the key point: flying accelerates emissions by its very high emission intensity/time. U could never do 4 intercontinental car trips a year. "Flying is the fastest way to cook your children" @BBCNews

How should you travel to reduce your carbon footprint?

Excellent @TheAtlantic article on the exposés we've been publishing about Bolsonaro's Minister of Justice, the corrupted investigation he led that resulted in Lula's removal from the election, and the fallout in Brazil from our reporting, by @Vinncent:

News reports have pointed to serious wrongdoing at the heart of the anti-corruption inquiry that has shaken many Latin American countries.
