📢India's fossil CO₂ emissions in first half of 2025 up *only* 0.9%.
Preliminary data show very slow growth in emissions from both coal and oil, and a decline in natural gas. 🧵

A REMARKABLE JOURNEY: Not long ago, the UK’s power sector was the country’s largest source of carbon emissions.

Today, it has become the smallest emitter among all sectors.

Die Gasbohrungen vor #Borkum drohen uns in eine neue fossile Pfadabhängigkeit zu bringen. Jede weitere Bohrung wird etwas günstiger sein, als die davor, sagt Ökonom @paoyuoei.bsky.social. Deshalb ist es so wichtig, dieses unnötige Projekt zu stoppen! www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/u...

A new International Energy Agency (IEA) assessment of the lifecycle emissions of coal vs LNG shows that LNG only offers a pitiful reduction in emissions compared to coal

Gas talking points present themselves as a 'climate solution', but they're a climate cause

Die geplante Finanzierung der #Gasspeicherumlage aus dem #KTF (TSP Background) entspricht einer Senkung des effektiven CO2-Preises auf Gas um 16 Euro. Größte Ironie: mit Einnahmen aus CO2-Preis bzw. dem Sondervermögen (das in den KTF fließen soll) wird nun fossile Energie subventioniert.

Greece is turning its back on coal and replacing it with solar and wind.

Today's data insight: ourworldindata.org/data-insight...

Data from @ember-energy.org.
The image presents a line graph illustrating the shift in Greece's electricity generation sources over time, from 1990 to 2024. There are two main lines: one representing coal and another representing solar and wind energy. Initially, the coal line begins around 60% in 1990, gradually declining to 50% in 2014. A sharp drop occurs after that, leading to a low of about 6% in 2024. In contrast, the solar and wind line starts very low, around 2% in 1990, and rises steeply after 2015, almost tripling to approximately 43% by 2024. Key notes are emphasized in the graph: one states that in 2014, about half of Greece's electricity was generated by coal, while another indicates that only 15% came from solar and wind sources at that time.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.
