🌱 Sustainability targets don’t mean much without the tech to back them up.

CTOs are now central to climate action, embedding sustainability directly into systems, data, and decision-making.

Evidence of early math didn’t come from numbers, it came from pottery.

Ancient designs reveal structured thinking long before written math existed.

Trump is winning his bizarre war on “windmills.”

But multiple experts have told me it’s inaccurate to call America’s offshore wind dreams ​“dead.”

At least one described the state of affairs as a kind of hibernation — and as a key time for ​learning.

Here are those lessons. My latest👇
Offshore wind had a terrible 2025. What can be learned?

It’s scientifically and ethically wrong to say, “It’s too late to stop climate change.”

At Project Drawdown, we will never give up.

The climate headwinds have felt stronger and uniquely destructive this year. However, at Project Drawdown, we are NOT slowing down our work on climate solutions - we are stepping up in a big way.

There is no scientific or ethical reason to stop fighting for the future! 💚 if you agree!

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package.

That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

🌱 Here’s a climate fact that rarely gets the attention it deserves:

Methane is more than 80 times stronger than CO₂ at trapping heat over a 20-year period.
edfenergyex.bsky.social EDF Energy Transition @edfenergyex.bsky.social · Dec 4
The oil and gas industry is the top industrial source of U.S. methane — wasting valuable natural gas.

Delaying action to #CutMethane "risks the health of millions of Americans...and undermines progress by industry leaders," said EDF's Rosalie Winn.
