“The ambition of the geothermal experts and volcanologists that comprise the Krafla Magma Testbed is to convert the immense heat and pressure into a new “limitless” form of supercharged geothermal energy — a tantalizing prospect as the world struggles to end its relationship with planet-heating fossil fuels.

"This has never been done before," said Hjalti Páll Ingólfsson, director of the Geothermal Research Cluster, which developed the project” #ClimateCrisis

We have now arrived at a point where the science underpinning these two reports need equal *urgent* attention.

Adaptation to attempt surviving 2°C

Mitigation to attempt preventing 2.1° then 2.2° and heaven forbid 2.9°

Both actions are now critical
