A graphic poster with a green, textured background. At the center is a black-and-white image of Earth. Above the planet, a small private jet flies around the Earth, leaving a dark, tangled trail. Across the middle of the image, bold white text on black rectangles reads “CLIMATE PLUNDER.” Below, smaller white text states, “How a powerful few are locking the world into disaster.” In the bottom-right corner, the Oxfam logo and the word “OXFAM” appear in white.

Rooftop solar could supply two-thirds of global power, study finds
Researchers at the University of Sussex have found that widespread deployment of rooftop solar could cover the vast majority of the world's electricity consumption, while lowering global temperatures by up to 0.13 C.

Capitalism dies without being propped up by the state. One takes the profit the other the risk (see banks in 2008)

Renewables are powering a better future. 🍃

Wind power has saved the UK a staggering £104 billion in energy costs since 2010.

Cheaper, cleaner and helping us reach our #NetZero targets. We need to keep this momentum going.

Met a birder today while walking on S Devon coast path. Watching a small copse with 2 goldcrest, a firecrest, a willow warbler and a blackcap. In late October. We had 2 blackcaps in late Jan UK bird watch - think more are staying around over winter?

Global sea surface temperatures continue to cool off as we head into La Nina. 2025 (for the 1st time in 3 years) will not set a new global temperature record.

It's the steady longer-term warming that is cause for concern. It will continue until human carbon emissions cease.

Truth is bad enough.

NEW: Biofuels globally emit more than the fossil fuels they replace, our latest study shows.

The first-of-a-kind study looks at global biofuels production today and the potential impacts of government biofuel targets.
