climate change COP26

In the aftermath of COP26, temperature goes up

Another year is wasted by moving decisions ahead again, to COP27 at Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt. Ironically, it's much warmer there than in Glasgow. Maybe that will put the heat on results a bit more.

Quantum Computing Emerges as Key Player in Climate and AI Race
A team at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has reached a new milestone in quantum computing: a functioning system with 6,100 qubits. These are so-called neutral-atom qubits held in place by optical “tweezers.” It is the most extensive and most stable qubit array ever built. For the global quantum community, this is considered a breakthrough: for the first time, scalability is being combined with high accuracy and long coherence.
Governments Double Down on Fossil Fuels, Pushing Climate Targets Out of Reach
Instead of winding down coal, oil, and gas as promised, governments around the world are preparing to expand fossil fuel production — a move that scientists warn could blow past global climate goals.
The Relentless Advance of Dehumanization
Several years ago, I argued that dehumanization had become an unstoppable force in our societies. Since then, the trend has only accelerated, climbing ever higher on the global index of misery. In the few independent media outlets and free forums that still exist, speculation about this phenomenon continues. Yet these discussions increasingly feel like rearguard battles.
