The document discusses the need for international agreements on climate change. It contains quotes from 2011 and 2012 warning that without agreements to limit warming to 2 degrees Celsius, the goal will be impossible to reach. It also notes peak levels for oil, gas, coal, and unconventional gas production between now and 2100. The implication is that transitioning to renewable energy is both a moral and physical imperative given declining fossil fuel resources and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

What are the critical challenges the world faces in meeting international climate change and sustainable development targets? That was the topic of discussion at a side event hosted by Future Earth and its partners on 15 November at the Bonn Climate Change Conference. The event, called “Reframing the Climate Debate: Enhancing the Paris Agreement and SDG Linkages,” addressed The World in 2050 project, a new effort to develop pathways to sustainable development within safe planetary boundaries.
IEA fossil fuel emissions & WEO 2013
The document summarizes key findings from reports by the International Energy Agency in November 2013. It finds that:
1) Fossil fuels still account for over 80% of the world's energy supply and CO2 emissions from fuel combustion continue to rise exponentially, putting the world on a trajectory for 6°C of warming by 2100.
2) There has been little change in the global energy sector's reliance on fossil fuels or coal since 1971, and their share of the energy mix is projected to only decline slightly by 2035.
3) Despite growth in non-fossil sources like nuclear and hydropower, CO2 emissions from the power sector are projected to increase from 13.0 gigat

The document is a letter from the Administrator of the EPA, Christie Whitman, responding to an editorial in the Wall Street Journal. The letter defends the administration's position on climate change, stating there is a unified policy and the EPA report does not undermine the president's stance. Whitman argues the administration appropriately considers the uncertainties in climate science and need for economic growth in developing a flexible climate policy.

This document discusses decarbonization and its consequences for energy markets in Germany and Europe. It outlines the scale of the challenge, including continued growth in carbon emissions and population. It also notes forecasts of increasing oil demand and coal use. The emerging energy context includes falling fossil fuel prices and new technologies like electric vehicles. Policy responses have focused on exiting coal, but targets set in Paris may not achieve the 2-degree warming limit. The EU 2030 framework establishes renewables targets but also recentralizes some energy policies. Overall decarbonization will be difficult to achieve at the necessary scale and speed given these complex technical and policy issues.

President Bush criticized a recent EPA report linking human emissions to global warming as merely the product of government bureaucracy. He said he would not accept an international accord like the Kyoto Protocol to reduce heat-trapping emissions. Bush believes the Kyoto Treaty would severely damage the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, Japan became the latest country to ratify the global warming agreement and urged the U.S. to do the same. The new EPA report was quietly released and said that greenhouse gases are accumulating in the atmosphere as a result of human activities.
CAR Email 6.4.02 (c)
President Bush criticized a recent EPA report that concluded human activities are causing global warming, calling it "bureaucratic hot air." The report contradicted the administration's previous stance that there was insufficient evidence of a link between emissions and warming. Bush remains opposed to the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Bob Tippee 2011 Mid-Year Forecast
This document summarizes the Oil & Gas Journal's midyear forecast for 2011. It reports that global oil demand is expected to increase slightly, with non-OECD demand growing 3.5% while OECD demand declines slightly. World oil supply is projected to increase 1.1% from non-OPEC sources and 10.2% from OPEC natural gas liquids. The document also discusses OPEC production levels, the IEA's decision to release strategic oil reserves, factors that could impact oil prices in the second half of the year, and projections for US energy demand, production and imports.

OECD Green Talks LIVE - Investing in Climate, Investing in Growth
Combining ambitious climate action and economic reforms will boost GDP over time rather than harm growth. By 2021, GDP across G20 economies could increase 1% and by 2050 the growth effect could rise to 2.8% when accounting for avoided climate damages. While upfront infrastructure investments are needed to transition to renewable energy, these will be offset by savings from lower fossil fuel expenditures. More ambitious climate policies that place an accurate price on carbon can be achieved without damaging economic growth when paired with economic reforms.

The document discusses energy trends in America. It states that the world will require 53% more energy by 2035 to sustain economic growth, and the U.S. will require 9% more energy, over half of which will come from oil and gas. Technological innovations have increased U.S. oil and natural gas production from shale resources, which are widely dispersed across the country and allow access to additional resources while protecting the environment. Shale development has also created new jobs and offset declining production from other resources.

BP Statistical Review of World Energy infographic
Global energy consumption grew slightly less than average in 2013, with OECD countries seeing above average growth and non-OECD countries seeing below average growth. While oil's global market share fell, renewable energy continued to grow rapidly from a small base. The US saw the largest increase in energy production in 2013 driven by increased oil production, though China remained the largest overall energy producer.

The document discusses how to obtain a federal contract within 30 days. It notes that the US federal government spent $3.98 trillion in 2017 and awards over $500 billion per year in contracts. The largest contracting agencies are Defense, Energy, Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security. Keys to quick success include building relationships, becoming a subcontractor, and honing a strategy. The document advertises a four-week online course for $1,997 to learn the basics of pursuing an initial federal contract.

The document predicts that governments will face increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also predicts that technologies to produce wind power and store energy will continue improving, leading to world energy from renewable sources growing as a portion of total energy production. These trends are expected to help reduce energy-related carbon dioxide emissions over time.BP Energy Outlook 2035 Infographic

Tyndall Centre presentation: Welsh Carbon budget report
Tyndall Centre presentation: Welsh Carbon budget report Comisiwn Cymru ar y Newid yn yr Hinsawdd/ Climate Change Commission for Wales
This document analyzes carbon budgets and emission pathways needed to limit global warming to 2°C. It finds that avoiding dangerous climate change is still feasible but probabilities are low. To have a 66% chance requires emissions to peak by 2025 and drop 10% annually by 2035 for poorer nations and 5% annually by 2025 for wealthier nations. Even a 33% chance requires mitigation far beyond what is currently planned. Carbon budgets for Wales to 2050 allow for 11-18 more years of current emissions, much lower than UK estimates due to not assuming geoengineering or an inequitable global budget apportionment.An Overview of The 2020 Long-Term Budget Outlook
The document is a presentation by Phillip L. Swagel, Director of the Congressional Budget Office, at the Economic Policy Summit 2020 on September 24, 2020. The presentation provides an overview of CBO's 2020 long-term budget outlook report, including projections for federal debt held by the public, total outlays and revenues, components of outlays and revenues, and the size of policy changes needed to reduce federal debt to 79% or 100% of GDP by 2050.

Will new technologies change energy markets?—Some “macro” notesStockholm Institute of Transition Economics
New technologies may change energy markets and geopolitics in three main ways:
1) President Putin argues that hydrocarbons are not ending soon and access to modern energy is important, showing Russia's reliance on oil revenues.
2) Russia's GDP closely tracks the volatile oil price, leaving their future uncertain as technologies develop.
3) Changing energy technologies could impact geopolitics and political freedom as countries reliant on oil revenues may face new challenges to their stability.The role of russia in global energy supply

COULD THE SUN COMPETE WITH FOSSIL FUELS IN GREECE AND THE MIDDLE EAST?
Greece and the Middle East - with their unrivalled regional climatic advantages - are experiencing a small-scale solar revolution demonstrating increasingly attractive economics that could prove to be a cost-competitive alternative to conventional fossil fuels.
by Fotini Maltezou, 2015
Thesis Paper
1) The document discusses the carbon bubble - the risk that fossil fuel assets could lose value if the world moves to limit global warming to below 2°C. There is a risk of major financial losses for companies and investors holding stranded assets that cannot be burned under climate targets.
2) It notes that if we use all known fossil fuel reserves, warming would exceed 2°C, which would have disastrous consequences. But quickly transitioning away from fossil fuels without support for companies could also destabilize markets.
3) Carefully managing the transition through policies that provide a clear framework for phasing out fossil fuels while supporting workers and communities could help avoid an economically disastrous bursting of the carbon bubble.

The document provides an overview of global energy usage and issues, highlighting several key points:
1) Population and economic growth, especially in China and India, are driving increased global energy consumption and causing escalating energy costs and security issues as well as climate change from fossil fuel usage.
2) China will surpass the US in total energy consumption by 2020 and consume 30% more energy than the US by 2030 if trends continue, increasing competition for limited fossil fuel resources.
3) The US lacks a comprehensive national vision and strategy for sustainable energy initiatives to address looming environmental issues while reviving the economy, and urgently needs to transition rapidly towards clean sustainable energy.

Climate change
This document summarizes a report on climate change that discusses: (1) how climate change poses life-threatening dangers and increasing global temperatures are causing more extreme weather events; (2) efforts by the UN and governments to negotiate new treaties by 2015 to reduce emissions, though developing countries resist restrictions on economic growth; and (3) predictions that the world will warm dangerously without action and failure to limit emissions could lead to severe consequences for humanity and nature.
Beyond COP28 (Extract from Agenda2024 Publication)
COP28 concluded with an agreement on the need to "transition away from fossil fuels", a historic first for the COP negotiations. However, the final language was weakened just days prior in a draft text proposed by the UAE presidency. Additionally, comments from the COP28 president and oil industry raise questions about implementation and loopholes. While a milestone, critics argue the agreement lacks funding, fairness in responsibilities between developed and developing nations, and urgency given the gap between ambitions and actions to date. As with past COPs, the final deal represents progress but may not significantly alter the world's current emissions trajectory.
Peak Coal in China-A GIS and Political Economy Aspect to China's Coal Policy
The document discusses China's heavy reliance on coal, which has powered its economic growth but also caused severe environmental problems. China currently consumes half of the world's coal and coal accounts for about two-thirds of its energy mix. In response to worsening air pollution, the government has recently implemented measures to reduce coal consumption, including capping it by 2020. This has raised hopes that China may reach "peak coal" sooner than expected, potentially improving the country's air quality and reducing its carbon emissions.
Per Capita Anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas Emissions By Country For The Year 200...
The document discusses greenhouse gas emissions by country for the year 2000 and targets for 2020 and 2050. It notes that developed countries like the US, EU, Japan, and Canada need to significantly reduce emissions by 50-80% below 1990 levels by 2050 to meet targets. For developing countries like China and India, it acknowledges their increasing emissions as economies grow but that they will need to take on more of the global effort to reduce emissions over time. It concludes that achieving ambitious global emissions reduction targets will require targeting reductions from coal first through carbon sequestration technology and a worldwide shift to electric vehicles.
CAR Email 6.4.02 (d)
The document discusses a report by the Bush administration acknowledging that human activities are contributing to climate change and its environmental effects. However, President Bush dismissed the report, saying he read the findings from "the bureaucracy." The report was submitted to the UN but only suggests voluntary industry actions rather than mandatory reductions required by the Kyoto Protocol, which Bush opposes. Environmental groups criticize the lack of a plan with pollution cut mandates.
Financing solar for a zero carbon world
Presentation backing contributions to 2 panel discussions on solar at two international conferences this week.
CAR Email 7.12.02 (b)
This document is an email forwarding a news article summarizing a Senate hearing where Bush administration officials defended the President's climate change policies. The officials argued that severe near-term measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are not warranted given scientific uncertainties. They claimed the Kyoto Protocol would cost the US economy billions and millions of jobs. Critics argued the administration's voluntary approach is insufficient and will allow more power plant pollution than alternative proposals. The officials maintained the administration is still studying issues and has not ruled out more aggressive action if justified by greater scientific understanding in the future.

The committee found that while the convention explicitly prohibits discrimination based on citizenship, nationality, or domicile, it does not mention discrimination based on language. Although lack of documentation in a particular language could potentially hinder the implementation of the convention, the specific communication did not provide evidence that such circumstances existed in this case, as the allegations only related to documents not being available in Welsh in a timely manner.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
