Nuclear power has been given a prominent role at the COP28 climate meeting in Dubai. This is the opinion of Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M), who is present.
Sweden has been involved in drawing up a declaration on increased nuclear power with a number of other countries.
– We will triple global nuclear power by 2050. For Sweden, this means that we must invest heavily in nuclear power once more. We were leaders once and we will be leaders again, Kristersson said at a press conference.

The climate negotiations at the COP meetings have so far not included the role of the coast as a carbon sink or methane emitter, write Christoph Humborg, Alf Norkko and Gustaf Hugelius at Aftonbladet Debatt. Photo: GETTY
The ocean has great significance for how the climate develops. During the upcoming climate summit, it is time to raise this hitherto underutilized resource, write three researchers at Aftonbladet Debatt.
By reducing eutrophication and protecting important ecosystems, emissions of greenhouse gases from the coasts can be reduced and the function of the ocean as a carbon sink can be strengthened.

“We cannot save a burning planet with a fire hose of fossil fuels.”
The words came on Friday from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who urged world leaders at COP28 to plan for a future without fossil fuels. He also said there is no way around global warming, according to the South China Morning Post.
During Thursday, climate conference chairman the sultan and oil CEO Ahmed al-Jaber advocated continued use of fossil fuels.
This prompted the Secretary General to say:
– The 1.5 degree limit is only possible if we finally stop using all fossil fuels. Not reducing. Not decreasing, Guterres said according to the newspaper.
70,000 participants are present during COP28 in Dubai in the oil-producing country of the United Arab Emirates.

I wonder if you can provide some facts about the water level rise. I doubt that is correct as it will take several hundred years before it is really felt. It is not erosion or that sand has been mined in the area. I’m not a climate change skeptic, because the climate has always changed, but good if we can get some facts. The country rises most in Sweden, and we know that, so we are on the safe side.

Hello! According to the geologists I spoke to, there is no longer any land uplift in the southern and central regions of Sweden. The Authority for Community Protection and Preparedness has made technical calculations for what the rise in sea levels could mean for coastal cities in the future. You can find it here.
As long as politicians and money rule our world, it’s over.
We have to back off and live more in the countryside and get the opportunity to do that too. Industry, politics, power, money ?? Which person is worth more than 1 million kroner in salary?
Today they are grabbing billions, sick world.

Is it possible to follow Klimat-live as a “subject”?

Thanks for reading! We are looking into it and trying to resolve this!
I think climate live is very right. But can’t you make it even easier to find, higher up in the flow on the website?

Hi, we will take it further and see if it is possible.

The Skåne coast is identified as a national risk area for flooding and erosion – Löderup’s beach is particularly vulnerable.
– Climate change means that we have to abandon the view of what the coasts look like today, says Per Danielsson at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute.
Kristianstad is Sweden’s lowest situated city.
New and higher dikes are now being built.
– We are doing this to protect the city against high tides and future sea level rises, says Karl Erik Svensson, project manager for the dike construction.
