Early this month, the @IPCC_CH published the Contributions of Working Group III to the Sixth Assessment Report.
The subject? Mitigation of #ClimateChange.

The subject? Mitigation of #ClimateChange.

Like previous #IPCC Reports, this one demonstrates:
🚩#ClimateChange is a present emergency
🚩Each increment of warming accelerates the scale & severity of the crisis
🚩Phasing out ALL #FossilFuels is the quickest & most effective way to end #ClimateChaos.

An interesting piece on Stelco theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… by @willis_andrew - the co says it plans to upgrade to become the “most efficient” steel producer in N. America. But I can’t find any details about what this means. This could be important #climateaction or a big 1/ #cdnpoli
@willis_andrew missed opportunity. The #oilsands & coal-fired power get the headlines, & dominate the top-15 emitting facilities (2018 data open.canada.ca/data/en/datase…) in Canada. But the 3 facilities from Ontario that crack the top-15 are steel producers, including Stelco. 2/
@willis_andrew “Green Steel” has been getting more attention around the world. Just last week a big study dropped in Australia theguardian.com/business/2020/… describing a multi-billion export opp creating 10s of 1000s of jobs w a pivot to steel produced using renewable (green) hydrogen. 3/
I see lots of people dunking on prospects for SMR nuclear citing high cost & uncertainty about scalability. These are the same arguments that were used against wind, solar & lithium ion batteries (still are in some quarters). SMRs have challenges, no doubt. But we need every 1/
#climatesolution we can find. Deployment of existing, cost competitive solutions should take priority. But no harm in ongoing zero emission innovation. Odds are high we’ll need it.
That said—things to be on the alert for: 1) a focus on silver bullets like SMR in lieu of... 2/2/

…deploying solutions we have now. 2) the idea that exporting SMRs to other countries will mean we can do less to cut pollution domestically in Canada (Article 6 of Paris Agreement, ITMOs etc.). 3/3
