Yes, that link works. And if I click on the title of your post I get this link. Yet, if I try click the image, it fails.
Picture doesn’t show from Lemmy(dot)world. Please update post (or find what’s going on : bad fediverse protocol or implementation ?)

it’s nice how Lemmy allows connections between people with similar interest. My sense of humor is not mainstream and I am quite happy someone found it enjoyable.
Expect a hot and stormy future.

Coal demand set a record high in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency’s annual report published on Wednesday. Considering the commodity is the most important contributor to global warming, its consumption trends matter enormously for the fight against climate change. The report makes for a depressing reading: The planet is losing to our unquenchable demand for king coal. Forget all the slogans about consigning coal to history. We’re on a path to consigning the planet to history.
As the IEA puts it, “coal is often considered a fuel of the past, but global consumption of it has doubled in the past three decades.” Worse, not only has usage grown a lot – particularly in China and India – but demand will keep rising for the foreseeable future.
The IEA now estimates that global coal demand surged to an all-time high of 8,771 million metric tons this year, up 1% from 2023, as electricity demand rose faster than expected. That shouldn’t be a surprise: The energy transition requires electrifying everything. Renewables are doing some of that job, but coal remains, the go-to fuel to power the energy transition. Worse, the IEA revised higher its historical data, so the increase comes from a significantly higher baseline than before. The world is consuming a lot more coal than we thought – and therefore, it’s polluting the atmosphere a lot more than we thought, too.
While last year the IEA initially estimated consumption in 2023 at 8,563 million tons, it pegs it now at 8,687 million. The difference equals roughlythe annual demand of Japan, the world’s fourth-biggest coal consumer.
The IEA is trying to paint an optimistic outlook about the future. But the numbers say otherwise. In rose-tinted prose, the agency says that global coal demand could “plateau” over the next three years. Well, that’s if you don’t mind that the plateau is uphill rather than fairly level. In reality, the IEA forecasts fresh records for coal demand in 2025, 2026 and again in 2027.
True, the annual increase for each of the next few years is small. But the trend is, nonetheless, higher. The electricity sector has been the main driver, with power generation from burning the fossil fuel set to reach an all-time high of 10,700 terawatt-hours in 2024.
1·2 months ago… & hacking : Harketing !
10·2 months agomisleading title : out of 11 premiers in Canada, only 1, (who has no leverage on this), is talking about that.
So, reality is very far from what the title leads to believe.
Pegasus is worse (by public knowledge).
😁 i keep this part :
One possible explanation for the Hubble tension would be if there was something missing in our understanding …
14·2 months agoMiraculous time for all those innocents tortured in Assad’s prisons and liberated since this toppeling. “A blessing from God (Allah)” they will say.
i am very optimistic for once for Syria

Everyone is safe from Pegasus …
Except cell phone owners (which is most everyone)
Exception to the exception : people who know about this excellent FOOS tool (and know someone who can use it) - - thanks
1·2 months agomedical system in USA is amongst the worsts
What i read [and corrected] from the article :
“The hacking
campaign[group], nicknamed [ by Microsoft ] Salt Typhoonby Microsoft,
[ this actual campaign of attacks ] is one of the largest intelligence compromises in U.S. history, and not yet fully remediated. Officials in a press call Tuesday [ 2024-12-3 ] refused to set a timetable for declaring the country’s telecommunications systems free of interlopers. Officials had previously told NBC News that China hacked AT&T, Verizon and Lumen Technologies to spy on customers.”

(…) Geological phases (…)
First Phlegraean Period. (…)
It is thought that the eruption of the Archiflegreo volcano occurred about 39,280(…) years ago, erupting about 200 km³ (…) of magma (500 km³ (…) bulk volume) to produce the Campanian Ignimbrite eruption. Its Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) was 7 and it left a large part of eastern Europe covered in ash.

e.v. drive weird.
Because they are very different machines on the same road :
in internal combustion engine vehicle, going downhill : let’s accelerate a (little?) bit !The electric car driver :
(slowing down) let’s charge the battery !

All good, DDR (Dance Dance Revolution), like some other activities, games and sports, helps us having more fun while exercising 😌
