A decade after the Paris climate accord was signed, political support for it is fraying across the West. Yet the global shift to clean energy is barreling ahead—driven largely by China.

Plugging my laptop in at a council meeting last night... a Labour councillor says to me 'I hope that's green electricity you're using!'
Deeply weird. Reflects their own guilt at things in their own life that they could be doing, but probably aren't because... reasons 🤷♂️

Babies born today may well live to see more than 6 feet of additional sea level rise in their lifetimes.
Walk any beach or port and imagine the normal water level being six feet higher.
Then imagine how much higher the storm surges will be.

In summary, the outlook is grim. It is highly likely that Thwaites Glacier will eventually be lost, which will destabilise adjoining parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, increasing the committed long-term rise in global mean sea level by more than 3 m.

Owners of large cars such as SUVs would be charged more to encourage switching to smaller vehicles.
