The EV share of new car sales in 🇩🇰 Denmark was 73.7% in November. Of private individuals buying a new car, 91% opted for an EV.

“Cycling journeys in the capital have increased by 43% over the past six years to 1.5 million a day, according to a new report.”

#Wind-powered #Denmark plans to cut planet-heating pollution by at least 82% by 2035 from 1990 levels.

The good news: we can pretty much stop the biodiversity crisis and give a massive contribution to dealing with climate change if we moved to a healthy diet. And it would save millions of human lives beside that.

How can policies to help it be contentious?

Very good interview of @billmckibben.bsky.social by Chris Hayes!!!! It is boosting my day! Thanks for sharing your positive attitude with the world. I will try my best to convey this optimism with my US students here in Copenhagen! #sunday

Truly devastating for Trump's climate report. It just shows once again: if you task a group of "climate skeptics" with a climate report, you get a mass of easily refuted falsehoods, as they simply do not have honest arguments on their side.

Moratoire sur l'éolien et le solaire, « ça n'a pas de sens » estime la ministre Agnes Pannier-Runacher qui a appelé les parlementaires à la « responsabilité ». « A un moment il faut que les groupes politiques se comportent en grandes personnes » !

Every country is warming.

Every country is experiencing more extreme weather events because of climate change, mainly caused by burning fossil fuels. www.ShowYourStripes.info

Time to #ShowYourStripes and start climate conversations to prompt actions to reduce emissions, personally & collectively.

Very relevant piece by @petergleick.bsky.social reminding us that climate change is a threat multiplier for national security and has been acknowledged by the DoD and other top US for DECADES!! BTW, it is a serious threat for other countries..."Physical reality will always trump political ideology".

Preliminary data suggests that the global average increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration in 2024 will be a record.

Not just a little record, but 25% higher than the previous record.

(This is the global average, as opposed to Moana Loa)

Excellent turn of phrase - "double climate dividend" - in this paper by @paulbehrens.bsky.social et al.

Shifting high-meat diets toward plants benefits the climate in 2 ways:
1. Reducing emissions from ag production
2. Reducing ag land needs, enabling ecosystem restoration/avoiding deforestation 🧪

Just came across this podcast by one of the climate scientists that I follow regularly. The podcast is from July 2024. Thanks @natehagens.bsky.social and Johan rockstrom for making this.

"Trump’s first day was about undermining climate policy in virtually any form that he could find," writes @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social.

On Trump's reckless energy agenda:

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement:
Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect?
Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse?
Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

We've got four more years of Trump administration to unpack, but here's what we've got for Day One:

- an end to all wind energy permits (that includes onshore)

On Day 1, Trump moved to withdraw the US from the Paris climate accord, “boost domestic fossil fuel production and reverse many of former president Joe Biden’s signature efforts to combat climate change and other pressing environmental problems.”
