Based on fossil fuel growth rates from the IEA Coal Mid-Year Update, July Oil Market Report, & Gas Market Report Q3, fossil CO2 emissions would grow around 0.8% in 2025, reaching another record high...

We are only half way through the year, but don't build too much expectation for peak emissions.

Arguably, being 40% poorer in a 4-degree warmer world would be the least of our problems, given this level of warming is almost certainly incompatible with any sort of organised society 🤷‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Of all the frustrating things that will happen during the Australian election campaign, mofos mispronouncing “nucular” is the worst

It was the fuck aroundiest of times, it was the find outiest of times…

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

Yes, this. Not to mention of course that as more people stop their insurance, premiums go up again - until no one can afford it and insurance companies go under…

No doubt this has been posted here countless times but just wow… www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/o...

"When famed climate scientist James Hansen warned of that effect in 2021 and projected a steep acceleration of warming, his findings were criticized by some other scientists [...] But aerosol-focused research since then, as well as continued warming into 2024, seems to support his conclusions."

TIL the word “borked” (which I love) comes from a guy’s name - Robert Bork!?!

This was such a good listen

This x1,000. It’s so hard to us to focus on climate when we have so many immediately pressing issues - which are exacerbated by lack of action on climate

I can’t recommend this enough. Very technical but right on the money timinclimate.medium.com/gorgon-carbo...

Climate crisis deepens with 2024 ‘certain’ to be hottest year on record #Climate

To slow renewables growth in favour of untested, expensive and inappropriate nuclear in Australia is bananas. Plus drop our already inadequate 2030 target in the face of (hopefully) increased ambition for the 2035 NDC target?
