> Carbon Monitor, an academic emissions tracker, estimates Chinese carbon dioxide emissions were down 2 percent, or 155 million tons, through August.
> European emissions are up 81 million tons, an increase of 4 percent over last year. Power plants accounted for 61 million tons of that increase, as the continent leaned into coal amid reduced output from the French nuclear fleet and weak hydro production.
> In the United States, EIA projects renewables will generate 22 percent of the country’s power this year, compared with 38 percent for gas and 20 percent for coal.
> Renewables are attractive to countries facing soaring costs because wind and solar have no fuel costs. They are also domestically produced. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine likely will prompt Europe to accelerate its shift to renewables, which the continent views as a source of energy security, wrote DNV analysts in the company’s annual energy outlook.

> ‘More questions than answers’ MNT also spoke with Dr. Danelle Fisher, a pediatrician and chair of pediatrics at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, CA, about this study. She said that as both a pediatrician and a mother, her first reaction to the study was fear.
> “What are we doing environmentally to these unborn babies that we can detect these particles in their system before they’re even born?” she asked. “That’s just so frightening.”
> “And then the next question that I have […] is […] are we going to see worse disease states?” Dr. Fisher continued. “How do we deal with it? How do we treat it? Do we need to treat it?”
> “I feel like this study gave me more questions than answers,” she noted, “[b]ut a good study will do that — it will encourage you to think about what the ramifications are, what we can do to make it better, and what kinds of directions we need to go in when we’re looking at future studies.”

Not directly. You'd need to upgrade your appliances and pipes to support this.
