[sounds of ticking timer]

[footsteps]

[knocking sounds on the cupboard]

Shh

It's me

[chuckles]

Miss in the cupboard

can you open the door and shelter me for a while?

You need to verify my identity first?

Of course you can

However,

there are footsteps coming upstairs

If that person happens to draw the 'ghost card'-

[the sounds of the cupboard door getting opened and Lucien getting pulled inside the pitch-dark cupboard]

The footsteps have disappeared

(whispers) It seems like he went to other rooms first

Um, you can breathe a sigh of relief for now.

[sounds of his breath and chuckle]

Hmm, just now?

I rarely have the opportunity to participate in these kinds of villa parties and games

So when the countdown begins…

I didn't react quickly to what action to take

and missed the best hiding time

[chuckles]

That's right

It's all thanks to you for taking me in

[sounds of Lucien's calm breath]

[Lucien's chuckles when he suddenly get hugged]

Hmm?

Why did you suddenly hug me and act coquettishly?

The rules of the game?

I remember

Players who draw cards of different suits have different tasks

They need to complete their tasks before the timer goes off

Among them, there are players who draw ghost cards…

Their task is to 'eat' everyone else

So, we should try our best not to expose ourselves

Are you the player who drew the ghost card?

Hah, I was celebrating finding a refuge just a moment ago.

Turns out I was the sheep entering a tiger's mouth

My "last words"?

[chuckle]

Well, let me finish explaining the rules of the game

If a player draws the special card, the Ace of Spades,

Then, when they "die",

they can reveal the name of the "perpetrator".

and share it with everyone.

So,

Players who draw the ghost card can only make their move against them at the end.

Otherwise, the game comes to an end.

[sighs and chuckles]

Even though I can't see your expression,

I can hear your soft gasp.

Seems like you've already guessed it.

Mm,

I drew the Ace of Spades.

So,

If you "eat" me now,

your victory would come to an end as well.

You're not going to do anything?

Then I'll take my leave.

After all, I have some information

that can be shared with the other players.

[footsteps of other player]

[the other player gets into the room where the cupboard that hid both Lucien and her at]

I can't reveal your identity?

Hmm

From a perspective on achieving victory,

it seems a bit self-defeating.

After all, just a few seconds ago,

a certain little lady was still "threatening" me.

But,

you can think about what kind of payment you can offer to change my mind.

After all,

I'm not such a principled person either.

[Lucien receives kisses as a form of 'payment', accompanied by the sound of kissing noises.]

A very cunning way

But I must admit,

it is indeed very effective

[more kissing noises as Lucien receives more of his 'payment', accompanied by rustling noises]

[Lucien's breathing grows progressively heavy as his body continued getting kissed and 'touched', hinted from the rustling noises and small kissing noises that she makes. But at the same time there's sound of footsteps approaching]

Why did you stop?

The footsteps are indeed coming in this direction.

So what?

You're afraid of being heard?

Indeed.

Now is a crucial time

You must be especially careful from now on

In any case,

don't make any noise.

[more kisses and rustling noises as he kisses and touches her body + at some point he stuffs his fingers in her mouth to prevent her from making too much noise]

Your body is very tight

Are you so worried about being discovered?

Of course I can feel it.

After all,

[kiss]

you're trembling so badly.

If this continues…

The cupboard might even start making shaking noises.

[subtle wet sounds and more rustling sounds as he continues to 'bully' her]

[Lucien hisses out of pain, followed by the faint sound of zipper getting pulled down]

Be good, relax your mouth.

You bit my fingers so hard that it left marks.

Is it so hard to bear?

[chuckles]

Alright, I won't bully you anymore.

Of course I will help you.

Then let's change our posture.

Come over here.

Slowly,

Put all of your weight onto me.

[Small note: a reminder that they're inside a pitch-dark cupboard and she can't see him, so when she sits on his lap… she must sense something 'hard' and the realization hits her-]

That's it.

Is it any better?

'Liar'?

But if I'm not mistaken…

The person who set the trap first shouldn't be me

[kiss]

[chuckles]

Yes, I did it on purpose.

[more breathing sounds, kisses and touches]

Shh, didn't I remind you?

You need to be quieter.

After all,

you probably don't want to be discovered, right?

But if you want to stop…

[kiss]

You can tell me anytime.

The right to choose,

[drops more kisses on her body]

is forever in your hands.

[more kisses and rustling noises as he continues to drop kisses and touch her]

It seems you've already given an answer

And…

I really like this answer

[Lucien's RESTRAINED NOISES and kisses as he finally slides 'it' in, and there's a sound of passing footsteps in the background]

(whispers hoarsely) He doesn't seem to have noticed us

and went to another room.

[more kisses]

There is still a long time until the game ends.

From now on,

I think you can be a bit bolder.

[ingravinoveritas]

A couple of quick thoughts about today's events (or "EVERY 2.0," as I'm seeing some folks call it):

Everyone is passionate about and excited for Good Omens 3. There have been little to no details over the last few months, even during the course of filming earlier this year. This production has been a precarious one, from nearly being cancelled to being brought back as a 90-minute movie instead of the previously planned full season. Emotions have been running high almost nonstop, to where the atmosphere is nearly perfect for someone--be it marketing, be it PR--to tap in to the vibe for their own purposes.

It has been almost exactly two years to the day since Every, the now infamous "leak" of Aziraphale and Crowley's kiss at the end of season 2. Given that, it also feels like far, far too much of a coincidence that another, similar "leak" would occur so close to that incident. In all likelihood, today's events were not an accident, but rather a planned test to take the "temperature" of the fandom, among other things.

Further supporting this theory is the fact that the images of the concept art were posted on the art website one week ago, yet somehow the fandom was suddenly made aware of them today, in such close proximity to the anniversary of "Every." The images are also still posted on the website, on the artist's portfolio, meaning that had this been an unintentional oversight, it seems likely that the photos would have already been taken down, instead of left up for an entire week.

There has also been a great deal of discussion about consequences for the artist, yet it seems shortsighted if not unfair to blame fans for the artist's job being put in potential jeopardy. This person chose to post the concept artwork publicly, where anyone could find it. Even now, hours after all of this has happened, the concept art is still not password protected, and so the explanation of "It was supposed to be password protected" does not seem to hold much water. Ultimately, however, it was this artist's responsibility to ensure their work was secured, and it is also their responsibility if they did not.

Much has also been made about the possibility of season 3 being cancelled as a result of this incident, and I would just urge folks to think logically about this instead of blindly believing everything that you read. It is especially imperative in moments like these--where marketing and money are the chief motivating factors and the people behind these efforts have no qualms about emotionally manipulating a fandom--to think for yourselves and come to your own conclusions. Other fans may rush in to tell you to do this or do that, or don't do this, don't do that...but "groupthink" and hivemind mentalities are more often harmful than helpful, both to you as an individual and to the fandom at large.

Finally, to say that today's incident could cause GO 3 to be cancelled sounds and feels like little more than scare tactics. The concept art we saw today does not necessarily definitively give away plot points of the season (unlike "Every," which absolutely did). Given that filming is already completed and the amount of money that Amazon would stand to lose by pulling the show, it feels increasingly like this line was put forward to provoke an emotional response in fans.

Yet as the old saying goes, any press is good press...and the only thing that will get people talking more than a "leak" is that leak being an "accident" to cause panic and get folks to take everything down. Which will then make those who did see it chatter endlessly about what happened while making those who didn't see it wonder about it even more.

So those are all of my thoughts on what happened. The drama around all of this is truly exhausting, but hopefully we can find a way to discuss all of this calmly and collectively move forward as we await the release of the third season.

Do you have any more Flint 2.0 content/lore to share?... I love me fire boy I'll give you 1 morbillion sprucedollars... trust

Also I've been TOTALLY SANE about the thought of him being so wary about his now ginormous size ough ... i wish fire was real

oooh oooh maybe. Flint’s one of those characters where I’m not sure if revealing too much about his 2.0 lore is spilling too much of the plot or not, but his comic is looking pretty far right now so….

maybe a little bit. for the sillies

2.0 Flint is almost always hunched over and watching his back (someone said he looks like a pangolin and just know—I love you bc you are so right)

Flint was built specially to work in a newly made factory located in the Brrrgh. The job is ruthless and the risk is high, but so are its temperatures! Flint thrives in the heat of course, not so much in the actual work environment though.

While he can’t make an appearance often, Flint is one of the new recruits to the Deforestation and Demolition team. He’s very valuable in terms of tree removal and demolition. His busy schedule might be the only thing saving Acorn Acres from being up in flames right now…

He has some similarities to the very popular character Godzilla. It’s mostly just small visual references though, like roaring and the atomic breath ( he was originally going to have spikes though! )

Also Flint misses Graham. Like a lot. They don’t have a lot of time on their hands right now but they’re trying their best.

(this is where I insert a finter doodle but I don’t think I have one 😭)

[multiheadcanons]

SELLING AN E-BIKE TO THE MERCS. CAN YOU GUESS WHAT I DID RECENTLY?

scout: scout is more likely to get a moped than he is to get an e-bike. he doesn’t want to do the work of pedaling, especially if he can get the exact same range without the work. the team will say he’s being lazy, scout retorts they are literally getting bicycles with motors because they don’t want to pedal. they end up at a stalemate, and scout gets his little black vespa gts 310 supersport, and everyone is happy.

soldier: soldier wouldn’t get an e-bike until the fifth time he realized he couldn’t keep up with the team on bikes. rocket jumping is his preferred method of transport, but it is very hard to have the finesse to keep up with the team. he is almost always too far ahead, but he can’t run fast enough to keep up on foot, either. i would give soldier the velotric fold 1; because it will allow him to keep up, and he can fold it and use it as a heavy duty weapon.

pyro: pyro is getting a mooncool electric tricycle, and they’re putting tassels on the handlebars. pyro would request that engineer not only assemble it, but recolor the frame of the bike to their favorite pink— soft baby blush. and when it’s all put together (and engineer soups it up a little; a bigger battery, a travel charger, a range extender, some rear mirrors, a better bell, a comfortable seat) pyro is going hog wild. you will never see them again unless you see a flash of red and pink and the frantic dingdingding of them trying to get you to move out of the way. you might get hit. at least once.

demo: tavish gets the xpeak high step 2.0 long range e-bike. he would get the high step because he prefers the style. with the extended range, demo has what can only be considered a slower method of getting places. usually he just gets on the teleporters. but he does suffer from fomo when everyone else gets their own little bike or scooter. so he’ll get one that gets him wherever he wants, and can maybe carry a few things. it would never be a main method of transport for him, though.

heavy: it is no coincidence that the brand of this bike is called Giant. these bikes are GARGANTUAN. the medium size’s handlebars came up to my shoulders. these are not for me, these are for men like shaquille o’neal and misha, who need little more than a couple pushes before he’s coasting at a comfortable 20 mph. and the colors are gorgeous. the only issue is that these bikes have what is one of the lesser payload limits of most of these bikes. but these bikes are made for men who are a minimum of 5’10. he’s still getting a tandem seat, and a flatbed trailer to hitch to the back. for sascha.

engineer: engineer is more likely to borrow the other’s e-bikes than he is to get his own. otherwise, he is incredibly happy with his truck. he’ll see the team wherever their destination is. engineer, along with scout, are generally the carriers of the team wide bike rides. scout will carry whatever fits on his vespa, engineer carries everything else. extra batteries, extra water, a temperature controlled environment for anyone who doesn’t have it in them to continue, though that rarely happens. sometimes pyro will jump in the truck, just to make sure he doesn’t feel left out.

medic: y’all know this is my man, so we do have to be brand twins. however, i would not give him the exact model i have. medic would get the velotric packer 1, which was the initial model i was looking at. this is a beautifully built cargo e-bike, with some of the best power and carrying capacity on the market. when used conservatively, the range is 55 miles. medic would have a minimum of three extra battery packs because he’s constantly pushing the bike to its absolute speed maximum. he would also get a tandem seat, so someone else can pedal and he can enjoy the wind in his hair.

sniper: sniper would refuse to get an e-bike, but if the team urged him, he might get a brown ten speed bike to tag along. snipes’ van takes him everywhere he needs to go, and he likes the safety that comes with a vehicle. not to mention, he doesn’t really need the electric pedal assist. he might be at the back of the pack, but he can keep up with their throttles just fine. biking tires him out more than other modes of transport and other modes of mobility. the fact that he can take breaks almost makes his legs ache worse. and the seats aren’t comfortable.

spy: spy would be so picky, that when he finally sees the momentum line, he is taken aback by how much he would appreciate them as a brand. they are not particularly powerful bikes, but they are comfortable and best suited for inner city travel. he would also be willing to shell out the extra money for the liv brand bikes. the colors they have are absolutely stunning, but it’s a women’s brand (what even is a women’s bicycle), so of course the colors blow the other brands out of the water. same way that, aside from probably heavy, spy would have the most expensive e-bike.

WIP word game

Rules: you will be given a word. Then you share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that starts with each letter of your word!

yes i'm aware i did this yesterday but then @cyraclove had to go and tag me again and now i'm gonna copy @ebongawk and do a mash-up of both words (dance and heart) so here i go 😝 dearthnc it is

D: "do me a favor," wayne said as he swung his cleaver down and severed the fish's head from its body and unceremoniously shoved it off of his cutting board and into a bucket, "go dump this abomination and then forget all about it, kiddo." (dredge au) E: Eddie Munson started working at the theater the same time Chrissy did—all of the employees did, what with the grand opening starting right after school let out and most of them being high school students—but she didn't know about it until towards the end of her first shift, when Eddie strolled right past the ticket booth without even looking at her. (starcourt cineplex au) A: As often as Eddie stares at the retreating forms of cheerleaders, he can't identify this one from her naked back, no matter how badly he wants to. Even her hair isn't that much help, given he can't really tell what color it is when it's wet. (voyeurism 2.0) R: "Ready for the next leg of our intrepid journey?" Eddie asks, distracting her from her own thoughts after clicking her seatbelt into place. (roadtrip au) T: The hours she's spent at cheerleading practice do tend to fly by, but somehow that doesn't seem right for what Eddie's talking about. The only thing that seems sort of close that Chrissy can remember is when she was a child and would spend hours upon hours coloring on any scrap of paper she could get her hands on. (lock-in au) H: He stirs a little once he's on the mattress, rubbing his fist over his face and squirming but ultimately staying fast asleep. Chrissy breathes a slow sigh of relief and watches him for a minute or two before turning away. (married hellcheer one shot) N: Now that she's somewhat acclimated to the temperature inside the building, her multitude of layers are definitely overkill. (jury duty au) C: Chrissy sinks her teeth into her bottom lip and tucks her hands behind her back, digging her nails into the flesh of her wrist. Maybe a little bit of pain will keep her distracted until Eddie's finished talking, prevent her mind from wandering any further down the dark path of temptation. (youth pastor au)

and no i'm not gonna perpetuate this cycle any longer so no tags and no new word goodbye love u

The Weird Microorganism Iceberg

I basically made this on an impulse, please don’t take it too seriously. Feel free to suggest more organisms!

Explanations under the cut.

Tardigrades: You probably all know this one. Commonly said to be polyextremophiles, but this isn’t actually true; while they can survive extreme conditions, they don’t thrive in them. Something you might not know about them is that all of their body segment genes are equivalent to arthropod head genes — meaning they are basically walking heads.

Demodex: Eyelash mites.

Diatoms: Geometric silicon shell creatures.

Nylon-eating bacteria (Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens KI72): Exactly what it says on the tin.

Myxozoa: Microscopic parasitic cnidarians. Lack digestive systems, circulatory systems, gonads, and even muscles in some species. Occasionally single-celled, depending on the life cycle stage. Also may or may not be autonomous cancer cells.

Thiomargarita: The only macroscopic bacteria. Honorary microorganisms for the purposes of this image.

Wolbachia: Parasitic / mutualistic bacteria genus that has created numerous insect species through their effects on reproduction. (Infected females can become capable of parthenogenesis, while infected males are either killed, turned into females, or limited to reproducing only with females infected by the same strain.)

Deinococcus radiodurans: A bacterium which unofficially holds the title of “most extreme extremophile”. Can survive incredibly high doses of radiation, as well as high acidity and very low temperatures.

Dicyemida: Symbiotic (once mistakenly thought to be parasitic) animals that live in cephalopod kidneys. Have alternation of generations and used to be known as “Rhombozoa” (“rhombus animals”).

Facetotectans: Parasitic crustaceans with an unknown adult form. Attempts to artificially induce metamorphosis only produce another juvenile stage, as far as anyone can tell.

Metal-breathing bacteria: Bacteria which use nanowires to accept electrons from metals.

Limnognathia: One of the smallest animals, and has 15-part extensible jaws.

Disulforudis audaxviator: The only known organism to comprise a single-species ecosystem. Lives over a mile underground and feeds off the byproducts of radioactive decay.

Salinella salve: Possibly nonexistent simple animal, allegedly cultured by Johannes Frenzel in 1892 but never found by anyone else.

Warnowiids (Warnowiaceae): A family of dinoflagellates which have modified some of their organelles into an eye… which somehow works well enough for them to aim their stingers at prey, despite them having no brain (or even other cells) to process the images.

Haloquadratum walsbyi: A square that lives in salt.

Dicopomorpha echmepterygis: The smallest known insect, a parasitoid wasp smaller than a Paramecium.

Hemimastigophora: A group of organisms recently discovered to be an early-splitting branch of the eukaryotes.

Monocercomonoides: A genus of “excavate” “protists” (both terms are polyphyletic, lol) that lack mitochondria… or even the genes for them.

Parakaryon myojinensis: The only complete incertae sedis, for which not even the domain is known. Has an odd mix of eukaryote and prokaryote-like features, leading to speculation that they represent a second incidence of endosymbiosis (aka Eukaryota 2.0). Also my blog’s namesake.

Collodictyon: Considered unclassifiable for a long time. Not really that weird in and of itself, tbh.

Kamera lens: Continuing the theme, this is an alga that has proven weirdly difficult to classify despite having been known for centuries (though it’s been narrowed down to the Ochrophyta). Its funny name makes it a pain to look up.

Jeongeupia sacculi: Recently-discovered multicellular(!) bacterium. Unlike everything else on here, it doesn’t have a Wikipedia page (yet).

Meteora sporadica: “Protist” which moves by rowing with a pair of arm-like appendages. Another difficult-to-classify organism, although a study from earlier this year suggests they are related to the Hemimastigophora.

Kakabekia barghoorniana: Apparent Paleoproterozoic living fossil that looks like an umbrella.

Magosphaera planula: A sphere which splits apart into amoeba-like cells, observed by Ernst Haeckel in 1869. Also possibly nonexistent / misidentified.

[emyluwinter]

Still trying to rest properly.

But I don't want to forget about this thought.

As the authors usually think, if you hug Leona or Malleus , "strong gentle hugs"

How does San think about it -

In the case of a hug with Leona.

Yuu is fighting for his life with a lion because

It's heavy.

This idiot lion sleeps like a groundhog, where did all these muscles come from?!

Which implies the following

Feels like it. - Yuu hugs hard rocks.(Even Riddle confirmed that this guy is a muscle rock. You should go for a massage…)

His temperature is definitely higher than human due to the fact that he is a beastman, but lower to survive the heat of his homeland. +Hugging with red-hot stones.

Gods have mercy on Yuu's soul if Leona decides to sleep in an embrace in the fierce heat. They will die from overheating.

Definitely braids will climb into the eyes, mouth, nose - a small spoon. Trying to be a big spoon? This will be the last thing you do before you get into a peaceful voyage in Charon's boat.

If sleeping next to you may not be on purpose? (try to prove it) beat the tail.

Leona is not a fan of tactility, but she can tolerate it a little. from time to time. in a good mood. Perhaps. If your confidence level is increased, congratulations! The lion will let you near him and not try to devour-kill.

If hugs with Malleus.

. . . w e l l

Goddess of the Night, I don't think Lilia was very loving in this regard. (He did his best, okay? He didn't learn it from anyone. Lilia tried to do everything through trial and error and that's fine.)

Theoretical experience? Rich, luxurious. Practical experience? Negative. Again, the level of trust plays an important role.

He's comfortable if it's someone he knows.

Feels like

Rock. damn it. cold. rock. A little awkward at the beginning. Stupor from Tsunotaro. The level of trust is increasing! Malleus loves hugs from Yuu. Because his temperature is lower than human (my personal fiction is that he likes to soak up the sun, because he lives in a mountainous area) Yuu leaves this mortal world 2.0 if he sleeps in an embrace with a Dragon, because for him a little man is a warm pebble. And try to get out from under the sleeping dragon.

Not too strong, not too weak. The required compression level is still being studied. In turn, Yuu can squeeze the Dragon as they please within the bounds of decency, of course.

Not the best idea to jump with hugs, I remind you. You're hugging a rock!!

+bonus Trying to hug his tail would also be a bad idea if you don't want to go to another galaxy from the impact.

If the confidence level is high, Yuu sees the wings and tail of Tsunotaro. cocoon hugs are included.

The most pleasant bonus. - Very pleased sounds from Malleus Draconia.

Ultimate Guide to Lookah Seahorse Electric Nectar Collectors

The weed vaping business has seen a flood in ubiquity throughout the long term, and Lookah have turned into a confided-in name among lovers.

Prestigious for their inventive plans, unrivaled quality, and flexibility, Lookah Seahorse electric nectar collectors take special care of both prepared vapers and amateurs.

Shopping for a perfect seahorse electric nectar collector can be daunting with so many different models, features and form factors. How do they compare to each other? And which one should you get?

In this article, I will dig into the universe of Lookah Seahorse range, investigating its key features and difference, highlighting their pros and cons, and providing expert insights to help you make an informed decision.

What is an Electric Nectar Collector?

An Electric Nectar Collector is a small, handheld battery-powered device used to vape wax concentrates.

Due to theri compact size, On-the-go dabbers tend to prefer the portability of the electric nectar collectors versus the much larger traditional dab rig devices.

No need for a torch with this type of wax vaporizer, with battery-powered quartz or ceramic tip that’ll be smoking hot in seconds.

It lets you place the heated tip directly on the concentrates and inhale vapor from other end. This also give you more control on the amount of material you use and prevent waste.

Additionally, They are far less messy compared to traditional bucket style wax dab pens. With a nectar collector, there's no need to go through the hassle of filling the device, minimizing the potential for spills and messes.

Typically, you can easily control the temperature of the tip, ensuring you get the perfect hit. Some feature a water pipe attachment which cools the vapor, giving you a more soothing and crisp vape experience.

What Makes Lookah Seahorse Electric Nectar Collectors Stand Out?

Lookah Seahorse vaporizer set up a good foundation for itself as an innovator in the vaping business by reliably conveying gadgets that mix execution, moderation, and style.

Here's the reason they are popular among vapers:

Trend-setting Innovation: Lookah Seahorse incorporates state-of-the-art highlights like variable voltage, ceramic or quartz tips, and USB-C charging for a consistent vaping experience.

Sturdiness: Produced using great materials, these gadgets are dependable, guaranteeing long-haul dependability.

Portability: Smaller and lightweight plans make Lookah Seahorse vaporizers ideal for in-a-hurry use.

Ease of Use: The Lookah Seahorse is electronic, which is far easier to use than a traditional nectar collector. You don’t have to heat it with flame and instead only need to press the firing button.

Efficiency: Efficiency is what makes nectar collectors great, and the Lookah Seahorse Electric Dab Straws blend simplicity with efficiency for a unique concentrate dabbing experience.

If average global temperature rises are to be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels (in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement), climate finance globally will need to increase to about $9 trillion a year globally by 2030, up from just under $1.3 trillion in 2021-22.

According to the International Energy Agency, 30 percent of climate finance globally needed—around $2.7 trillion—will have to come from the public sector, with the remaining 70 percent coming from the private sector.

This is the scale of the world’s climate finance needs. However, when viewed in the context of governments’ other spending priorities, $2.7 trillion in public money is achievable. Indeed, in 2022 governments spent $7 trillion on fossil fuel subsidies alone.

A large portion of that $2.7 trillion must flow to developing countries in the form of grants and concessional loans. Official development assistance (ODA), provided by traditional donors in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), will not get us there alone. ODA hit a record high of $287 billion in 2022 but only because developed countries shifted resources to aid in Ukraine’s defense; in previous years, it hovered around just $236 billion. A surge of right-wing politics in the United States and Europe has forced budgets down, and even Emmanuel Macron’s liberal government in France has reneged on previous aid commitments.

For all but a few emerging economies, developing countries’ greatest climate challenge is not solely a lack of private finance for mitigation projects but a lack of low- or no-cost public finance for adaptation and loss and damage efforts. Despite their social returns, adaptation projects such as infrastructure upgrades and sea walls do not deliver immediate financial returns to investors and are notoriously difficult to scale for the private sector.

Both developed and developing countries have been vocal about the need for new forms of public climate finance beyond ODA, and they are considering different options under the rubric of “innovative finance.” The recognition has been particularly important in discussions on the newly created Loss and Damage Fund. At last year’s U.N. Climate Change Conference in Dubai, or COP28, countries pledged around $700 million to capitalize the fund—including an unexpected $100 million from the United Arab Emirates—but it will need billions of dollars to respond to more than one country crisis. This is why the fund’s bylaws encourage its capitalization through a “wide variety of sources, including innovative sources” inside and outside the Paris Agreement.

There is no single agreed definition of innovative finance, but it generally refers to any financing mechanism or arrangement that mobilizes, governs, or distributes resources beyond ODA. Most innovative finance mechanisms, such as “blue bonds” or the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights, still depend on loans and the largesse of rich countries, whose leaders also face tough inflation and consequential elections. These are just two reasons why such initiatives have stalled or failed to live up to expectations.

On the resource mobilization side, many countries have come out in favor of new global taxes to fund climate needs in developing countries. Here, as in other areas of climate, small island states and low-income countries are providing essential leadership. They are also finding allies in the global north. Taxes on shipping, fossil fuel production and subsidies, air travel, financial transactions, and extreme wealth feature prominently in agendas to reform the international financial architecture, such as Barbados’s Bridgetown 2.0 and African leaders’ Nairobi Declaration, and in the recent Paris Pact for People and the Planet. These calls have been taken up by a new International Tax Task Force, launched by France and Kenya at COP28, to deliver a verdict on the options available.

Beautiful ideas and big numbers abound, but the real challenge is more direct: Who pays? Industries will always pass the tax on to the consumer—but which consumers, where? There is also a question of equity and justice: Why should consumers in developing countries be taxed to pay for a problem they did not create?

It’s possible to create taxes that incorporate such concerns. Founded in 2006 by Brazil, Chile, France, Norway, and the United Kingdom and hosted by the World Health Organization, Unitaid is a successful global health program for low- and middle-income countries that receives over half its funding from air passenger levies. The levies—introduced as low as 1 euro for economy seats on flights within Europe and up to 40 euros for business seats on long-haul flights—are collected and earmarked for Unitaid by governments in 10 developed and developing countries. By 2012, the levies were raising between 162 million and 175 million euros per year, totaling 1 billion euros since its creation. According to an assessment by the French government in 2009, “The introduction of the levy had no apparent effect on the volume of air traffic passing through French airports nor on the volume of air traffic affecting France.”

But finding examples of similar financing success is hard, especially on a global scale. Many options have been proposed, such as taxes on shipping, aviation, fossil fuel production or exchange, financial transactions, and extreme wealth, but only shipping has made serious institutional progress. Last year, countries in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) agreed on a decarbonization strategy for the shipping industry that depends on the introduction of a global tax. This would make a tax on shipping, responsible for 3-4 percent of global emissions, the first global carbon tax. According to estimates from the World Bank, such a tax could raise $40 billion to $60 billion per year.

That is the upside. The downside is that the shipping industry and many countries with shipping interests are willing to agree chiefly because they expect the revenues to flow back into the shipping industry to fund their push for ships and ports running on accessible, but still expensive, hydrogen and ammonia fuels. It is difficult to achieve a global tax; it is more difficult still to retain the revenues. As of the last IMO meeting in March, a proposal spearheaded by a group of Pacific small island developing states that would allocate the majority of the revenue to broader climate objectives is one of several options being considered as the economic measure to deliver the decarbonization strategy.

A number of countries have expressed interest in establishing international climate solidarity levies, or ICSLs, to pay for addressing loss and damage, but the campaign is still waiting for a developed-country champion. Should one emerge, ICSLs at the national or city level could raise substantial and predictable additional revenues for the Loss and Damage Fund. Oxford Climate Policy’s Benito Müller, a leader in the current campaign for ICSLs, estimates that a 5 euro air levy on all air tickets across the European Union would have raised around 1 billion euros in 2019, while—following the proposal by the IMO’s Emission Reduction Scheme—a levy of 10 euros per maritime container across the same jurisdictions would in 2021 have generated 924 million euros.

In the end, taxes and levies are a question not of economy per se but of political economy. This is the challenge before the International Tax Task Force: to evaluate and advance proposals based on political feasibility as well as projected impact.

Consider one prominent idea, for a global tax on extreme wealth where billionaires are charged some small portion of their net worth every year. Gabriel Zucman, a top French economist, has championed the idea, as has French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who said in April: “This is exactly what we did with minimum taxation on corporate tax. … It would be the same on the international taxation for the wealthiest individuals.”

Just days after Le Maire’s endorsement, finance ministers from Brazil, Germany, South Africa, and Spain endorsed the idea of a 2 percent minimum global tax on billionaires. In a co-written Guardian article, the ministers declared that such a tax would “boost social justice and increase trust” as well as generate more than $250 billion in revenues for governments to invest in public goods. The ministers also urged the G-20 to take up the idea on its agenda at its July meeting, in Brazil. While this is encouraging, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen dismissed the “notion of some common global arrangement for taxing billionaires with proceeds redistributed in some way. … That’s something we can’t sign on to.” The wealth tax may move forward despite Washington’s concerns, but it is unlike to involve any formal mechanism for redistributing revenues across countries.

Innovative finance is not a silver bullet, nor is it a substitute for developed countries’ existing climate and development obligations. The majority of public funding for climate finance will still have to come from direct government outlays. This requires strong and empowered public sectors in developed and developing countries alike. Recent gains in international tax reform suggest a way forward. More than 140 countries have agreed to impose a minimum effective rate of 15% on corporate profits, a policy launched by OECD countries in 2021. Tax reform efforts in the UN have also picked up speed. Following a historic breakthrough at the UN General Assembly in November 2023, the UN has started the negotiation of the terms of reference for a new Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation.

Despite the obstacles, we are at an inflection point in the long battle for new global taxes for climate. In addition to the leadership of developed-country and emerging-economy first movers, the continued leadership of small island states is essential. Small island states are champions of ambition by necessity. They sounded the alarm early and led the campaigns for adaptation and loss and damage finance, including in ambitious, practical, and yes, innovative, forms. Today, the world is closer than it has ever been to implementing a global carbon tax—thanks not to the great powers but to the small island states that found a way forward.

New Report: Dire Sea Level Rise up to 20 meters (66 ft) Locked-In Even if Climate Goals Met

New climate change reports are being released every single day as we approach the start of the 28th version of the United Nations Climate Conference (COP28 - Conference of Parties 28)

In this video I chat about the new report on the vanishing cryosphere with massive sea level rise called: “State of the Cryosphere 2023: Two degrees is too high: We cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice”; link is in this article: https://apple.news/AaPaaajMYT-iWfWXxc...

Essentially, this report argues that Earth is facing dire sea level rise — up to 20m — even if climate goals are met and the global average temperature is stabilized at 2 degrees Celsius relative to the IPCC baseline 1850-1900 average.

I discuss the main findings in this report, and have a look at what the figures tell us in specific areas of glacier melt, permafrost thaw and emissions feedbacks, Arctic and Antarctica polar temperature amplification and sea ice loss, polar ocean acidification, and changes to ocean circulation patterns and consequences.

By the way, we are heading to a 2023 global average temperature of 1.54 degrees Celsius or higher, and on November 18, 2023 the daily average temperature reached 2.0 degrees C above the IPCC baseline for the first time.

It appears that by the start of next year, we will only legitimately and honestly be able to discuss the 1.5 C temperature goal in the past tense. Recall that in the James Hansen video recently, I chatted about 1.71 C by 2030 and 2 C by 2038 with James.

What Maintenance Schedule Should Be Followed for the 2.0 Range Rover Engine?

The Range Rover 2.0 engine is a finely engineered piece of machinery, designed to offer performance, efficiency, and durability. Like all modern engines, it requires regular maintenance to function at its best. Whether you own a brand-new model or are using a reconditioned engine, following a strict and consistent maintenance schedule can make the difference between long-lasting reliability and premature failure. Preventive maintenance not only enhances performance but also preserves fuel economy, minimizes unexpected breakdowns, and boosts resale value. With the rising use of reconditioned engines, it becomes even more important to understand which service intervals are critical. This guide outlines a comprehensive maintenance plan that covers essential aspects such as oil changes, fluid checks, timing components, and more. Whether you're a daily commuter or a weekend adventurer, keeping your Range Rover engine in top shape is crucial for your peace of mind and your vehicle's performance.

Regular Oil and Filter Changes: The Lifeblood of Your Engine

The most fundamental aspect of maintaining a Range Rover engine—especially the 2.0 variant—is regular oil and filter changes. This is the first line of defense against wear and tear, sludge buildup, and overheating. It’s generally recommended to change the oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. However, those operating under harsh driving conditions—such as towing, off-roading, or frequent short trips—should consider more frequent intervals, perhaps every 5,000 miles. High-quality synthetic oil should be used, as it offers better protection at high temperatures and extends engine life. The oil filter must be replaced with every oil change to prevent contaminants from recirculating through the engine. Reconditioned engines also benefit greatly from consistent oil changes since they often include refurbished internal components that require proper lubrication to avoid excessive friction. Ignoring this step can lead to accelerated wear and costly repairs.

Cooling System Maintenance: Preventing Overheating and Damage

The cooling system plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal temperature levels for the 2.0 Range Rover engine. Any engine, including reconditioned ones, is highly susceptible to overheating if this system is compromised. Owners should inspect coolant levels every month and ensure the coolant is replaced every 5 years or 100,000 miles, depending on driving habits and environmental conditions. Signs of cooling system failure include frequent temperature spikes, coolant leaks, and a sweet smell from the engine bay. The radiator, thermostat, water pump, and hoses should be inspected at every service interval to detect potential problems early. Reconditioned engines may come with new or tested water pumps and thermostats, but it’s always wise to double-check after installation. Ensuring the cooling system is in excellent condition helps prevent warped cylinder heads or head gasket failures—two common issues that can result from poor maintenance.

Air and Fuel Filter Replacements: Keeping Contaminants Out

Air and fuel filters are small components with a big impact on engine performance. The air filter prevents dust and debris from entering the combustion chamber, while the fuel filter ensures clean fuel reaches the engine. For the Range Rover 2.0 engine, replacing the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles is advised, depending on driving conditions. Fuel filters usually require changing every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Neglecting these filters can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, engine hesitation, or even damage to internal components. Reconditioned engines especially need clean air and fuel to operate smoothly, as any residual debris from the prior engine failure could affect the newly reassembled system. Regularly replacing these filters ensures smoother operation, longer lifespan, and consistent power output.

Timing Belt or Chain Inspections: Protecting Engine Synchronization

Depending on the model year and variant, the Range Rover 2.0 engine may come with a timing chain or belt. Timing components synchronize the crankshaft and camshaft, allowing valves to open and close at the correct times. Failure of these components can lead to catastrophic engine damage, such as valve-piston interference. If your engine uses a belt, replacement is typically required every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Timing chains are generally more durable but should be inspected at regular intervals for slack or wear. For reconditioned engines, ask whether the timing system was replaced or reconditioned during the rebuild. This is a critical detail that affects both reliability and longevity. Preventive maintenance of these components safeguards the entire engine structure.

Spark Plug and Ignition System Checks: Enhancing Combustion Efficiency

Spark plugs are responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders. Worn or fouled plugs can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and sluggish performance. For the Range Rover 2.0 engines, it is advisable to replace spark plugs every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Modern iridium-tipped plugs may last longer but still require periodic inspection. The ignition coils and plug wires should also be tested for resistance and wear. Misfiring due to a faulty ignition system can severely affect the performance of both new and reconditioned engines. Ignition issues can also trigger engine warning lights and lead to increased emissions. Maintaining this system is vital to keep the engine running smoothly and efficiently.

Transmission and Drivetrain Fluid Services: Supporting Engine Function

While not part of the engine itself, the transmission and drivetrain are tightly integrated with the engine’s performance. Range Rover models with a 2.0 engine often feature advanced 8-speed automatic transmissions, which require fluid changes roughly every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Ignoring transmission fluid maintenance can lead to gear slippage, overheating, and delayed shifting—all of which stress the engine. Reconditioned engines mated to older transmissions can also suffer if fluid levels and quality are not properly monitored. Transfer case and differential fluids should be changed every 60,000 miles as part of comprehensive maintenance. Keeping drivetrain fluids fresh ensures that the Range Rover engine doesn't work harder than it needs to.

Battery and Electrical System Tests: Avoiding Startup Failures

A healthy electrical system is essential for proper engine operation. The battery powers the starter motor, fuel injectors, and various sensors. It should be tested at least twice a year and replaced every 3 to 5 years. Corroded terminals, weak voltage, or a failing alternator can cause starting issues and affect engine performance. With reconditioned engines, ensuring proper grounding and electrical connection is especially important after installation. Any sensors replaced during the reconditioning process must be correctly integrated into the vehicle’s system. Additionally, malfunctioning oxygen or MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensors can disrupt the air-fuel ratio, lowering efficiency and increasing emissions. Proactive electrical checks reduce the risk of ignition and fuel delivery problems.

Software Updates and Diagnostic Scans: Maximizing Engine Intelligence

Modern Range Rover engines, including the 2.0 variant, are equipped with advanced ECU (Engine Control Unit) software that governs everything from ignition timing to turbocharger boost levels. Land Rover periodically releases software updates to improve engine performance, fix bugs, or enhance fuel efficiency. Scheduling regular diagnostic scans during service intervals can reveal hidden issues such as faulty sensors, pending trouble codes, or early signs of component failure. For reconditioned engines, a scan after installation is essential to verify proper integration with the vehicle's existing systems. Staying updated with manufacturer recommendations and ensuring the software is current can unlock better performance and prevent drivability concerns. Read the full article
