🚨🚨🚨 2025 finished in the top 10 for warmest year on record in the Contiguous U.S. (1895-present). For most of the areas from the Rocky Mountains westward, it was a top 5 warmest year. No areas had a historically cool year.

This is a great PHOTO ESSAY on “solar hockey stick of hope”, and countries breaking free of oil and gas dependence.

IF your country's media isn't telling you about the renewables global boom, then consider why....

Looking back to @wwattribution.bsky.social studies in 2025 showed again, in stark terms, how unfairly the consequences of human-induced climate change are distributed. The world does not have to be like this, we have a lot of agency to make it better. www.worldweatherattribution.org/unequal-evid...

One thing 2025 made clear: Durable progress on climate in the US will require structural reform to our corrupted political systems. Otherwise, steps forward will always be vulnerable to the bloody clawbacks we saw this year. A political strategy that doesn't center system reform is not "pragmatic."

“scenario analyses for the U.S. foresee data centers using anywhere from ~350 TWh up to ~580 TWh per year by 2028 in high-demand cases. The upper end of that range (~580 TWh) would represent roughly 12% of total U.S. power consumption by 2028 – a seismic shift in the electricity landscape”

A neat little nugget of medieval coal history as we come to the end of a year where the UK has just finished it first 15 months freed from coal power, but the US has slid backward on so many energy fronts. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1... #Speculations #MedievalSky

NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹

They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating.

A new scoop for The Reengineer!

Church organ tuning records mirror our warming climate
The records appear to reflect climate change, as well as the increased heating of churches in winter

especially in the dark hours we need to remember that we are going to win
Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Some proposed climate “solutions” just don’t stack up against an objective, evidence-based perspective.

That’s why the Drawdown Explorer calls these “Not Recommended” climate solutions.

the proximate reason i post here — beyond the fact that i like a lot of you and enjoy reading your thoughts and jokes and observations — is that this is a non-algorithmic platform where people share lots of stuff and people read what is shared. that's still valuable even if it doesn't "influence!"
