Energy and climate finance. Sometimes author. Sometimes professor. Dad. Lawyer. Ill-conceived posts are solely my fault.

We've reached 1.5°C global warming.
With current policies, we're heading for a catastrophic 2.7°C warming.
A new review paper in Science shows: this would change the Arctic 'beyond recognition', with knock-on effects (like rising seas) around the world. 🌊

Well that feels pretty tipping-pointy to me.
While this isn’t good news, it is not a tipping point, nor does it presage a dramatic increase in climate feedbacks.
This is what I was writing about 20 years ago as a terrifying but far off prospect, a key tipping point in the climate crisis. Now it’s here. Report by my colleague @patrickgreenfield A third of Arctic’s vast carbon sink now source of emissions, study reveals www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In 2020 China promised to build 1,200 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030. That's roughly the same electricity generating capacity of the whole U.S.

China recently announced it reached the goal, 6 years ahead of schedule.

More on this, + the complicated story of Chinese coal, here on @npr.org
How will China impact the future of climate change? You might be surprised
As a new Trump administration signals a retreat on climate action, China is stepping up. China is the biggest producer of climate technologies like electric vehicles and solar panels.
