World’s 3rd largest #carbon emitter, #India has seen huge growth in #renewables & yet #coal remains the king in energy-mix

Why can't it get rid of the dirtiest #fossilfuel & why is it now for #decarbonising coal power plants - and is that doable?

I explain it all here www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Having suspended the #IndusWaterTreaty, can #India now cut off the flow of #Indus and its two tributaries and deprive #Pakistan of its lifeline?

Or, will there be "water-bombs"?

Where does #China figure in all this?

My analysis on why Trump wants #criticalminerals in #Ukraine..within a broader piece on what such minerals Ukraine has from our colleagues:

On the face of it, it looks like a paradox.

Trump has ordered expansion of #fossilfuel production, ditching #renewables policies.🧵👇

What could #US president Trump's "energy emergency" declaration mean for global #energy landscape -- and by extension how will that impact global #climate action now that the US will be exiting the #Parisagreement yet again?
#BBCWorld has me explain...

#Santa is coming
His reindeer didn’t go missing.
#Lapland #reindeer made it to his sleigh
And they did not go astray
In search for food.
Because #warming #weather
Leaves the lichen
They graze on
Covered by layer of ice for good.
