Ca devrait faire la une : la France paye des dizaines de milliards d'énergies fossiles chaque année à des pays dirigés par des dictateurs, plombant nos finances.
Dommage que ni le gouvernement, ni la droite et encore moins l'extrême-droite ne souhaitent changer cela.

Chinese and EU emissions were more or less flat in 2025 (Chinese emissions may have actually declined slightly, but its too early to know for sure: www.carbonbrief.org/...).

US emissions increases drove much of the increase in global emissions in 2025.

ACTUAL GOOD NEWS WARNING

65% of the planned coal capacity from 2015 ended up not existing, thanks almost entirely to climate policy and renewable energy construction

China is an outlier - but maybe not for long

@e3g.bsky.social

www.e3g.org/publications...
planned coal capacity No New Coal is now a global norm for the vast majority of countries 164 countries – covering more than two-thirds of the global economy – either have no planned coal in their project pipeline and/or have made a No New Coal commitment. The global pipeline of planned coal-fired power plant projects has collapsed by 65%, and 74% when excluding China, in the decade following the ratification of the Paris agreement. The shift is made possible by the growth of renewables. Solar and wind accounted for 87% of new capacity additions in 2024, while coal made up just 3%. Just 11 countries now account for 96% of new planned coal power. The remaining 4% is spread across 18 countries. This total of 29 countries still planning new coal is down from 65 a decade ago. In almost all of the countries still planning coal power, solar and wind capacity additions are exceeding coal and gas. Momentum on No New Coal continued in 2025 NDCs: Australia, Cambodia, Canada, Mauritius, Morocco, Singapore and the UK reiterated or made commitments to no new coal (see our NDC energy commitments tracker); Thailand cancelled its last planned coal plant; and Honduras committed to stop permitting new coal plants through new membership of the Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA). Approximately 4 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions have been avoided every year of the last decade thanks to the collapse of planned coal capacity – equivalent to nearly one-third of China’s annual CO2 emissions. Planned coal levelling off outside the OECD; China remains an outlier Outside the OECD (excluding China), the number of planned coal projects has largely levelled off, with many shifting investments towards renewables. A few countries, such as India, Indonesia, and Zimbabwe, continue to expand their coal pipelines. Realising President Prabowo’s clean energy vision for Indonesia – based on announcements to close Indonesia’s coal fleet within 15 years, achieve 100% renewable energy by 2035, and install 100 GW of solar power – requires a clear signal that only new renewables capacity is going to be prioritised going forward. Committing to No New Coal provides such a signal. Pakistan’s solar boom presents a clear opportunity to end the country’s reliance on new coal power and fulfil the former Prime Minister’s 2020 announcement that Pakistan would “not have any more power based on coal”. As the incoming ASEAN chair, the Philippines can also use a firmer No New Coal commitment to enable regional planning on coal-to-clean transitions. African leaders’ call for a rise in the continent’s share of global renewable energy investments from just 2% today to at least 20% by 2030, must be met to ensure there is no pursuit of coal in Africa. China remains a global outlier: responsible for 62% of the world’s planned coal capacity. However, the country is also the world leader in the rollout of both wind and solar, with 1,215 GW of prospective capacity and a commitment to increase this pipeline to over 3,600 GW by 2035. There is no need for new coal: in the first half of 2025, generation from clean energy exceeded domestic demand growth. Going beyond its insufficient NDC, China now has a clear opportunity to implement plans to end new coal construction in its next Five Year Plan in 2026.

The thing about solar geoengineering is that once you start you cannot stop *ever* unless somehow you have already removed all the multi-billions of tons of carbon emitted since the day you started.

If you stop at the higher CO2 concentration you get virtually instantaneous catastrophic heating.

"If geoengineering works well initially & you see this temperature drop, the tempempation to keep going & extracting fossil fuels will be greater than ever, because it will seem that you have a technologically that can cut off the link between temperature rises & fossil fuel combustion."

My advice to policy makers: don't sweat it that China produces panels and batteries cheaper at the moment:

They will always cost a fraction of what you pay fossil fuels.

Unlike fossil fuels, a solar panel you buy provides energy for 35 yrs.

They will commoditize.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

I wrote a piece for @theconversation.com on climate change, diets, and resilience. In high income nations we can go plant-rich now and harness the benefits or wait and likely climate change will force us our hand.

By changing our diets now, we can avoid the food chaos that climate change is bringing
By choosing to transform how we grow food and what we eat – rather than letting climate change dictate the pace of change – we have so much to gain.
