The IPCC just released its Workshop on Methods of Assessment report.
Exploring how AI, systematic reviews & ex-post evidence evaluation can help authors keep pace with the exploding volume of climate literature. Better synthesis tools = better grounded assessments.

Germany is on track to miss its 2026 climate target for the first time... Projected 635M tons CO2 vs. the 625M limit. Heat pump & EV sales hit records, but that's not enough - ~40M tons/year more cuts are needed through 2030. Time to double down, not ease up.

Berlin's heat plan treats geothermal boreholes as thermal storage balancing heating & cooling cuts costs ~25%. With every German city over 100k needing a heat plan by 2028, drilling capacity is becoming the bottleneck. #Waermewende #Geothermal #KommunaleWaermeplanung

New BBSR data: 2,836 German municipalities (26%) finished their heat plans double the count from 6 months ago, covering over half the population. Now the real work starts: turning plans into pipelines, heat pumps & geothermal on the ground. #Waermewende #KommunaleWaermeplanung #EnergyTransition

On the road along the Med: hiking and climbing at Lake Garda, rolling through Milano and Genova, a city stroll in Grasse, now diving off Hyeres. Mountains, cities, sea. A good reminder why this continent is worth protecting.

Germany just sent its EEG-2027 reform and Netzpaket (grid package) to the Bundestag, first reading on Sept 24. More onshore wind capacity plus stronger grids is exactly what heat pump rollout and communal heat planning need to scale.

Germany debates renovation vs. demolition: DUH & the Anti-Demolition Alliance want approval before tearing buildings down. Refurbishment beats rebuilding on carbon. ~12,000 demolished/year -> construction = 5-12% of EU emissions.

Been building a QGIS workflow to screen sites in germany for geothermal suitability using WMS data from LGB-RLP. Turning raw geodata into a simple traffic-light classification for planners.
