Having been involved with this report for the past 5 years, overall takeaways IMO are:

- Good news: we know (in great detail) the things the 🌎 needs to do to stay w/in 1.5°C!
- Good news: we are doing many of the things!
- Bad news: we’re not doing ANY of the things at the necessary speed or scale!
BREAKING: The #StateOfClimateAction 2025 finds the world is failing to act fast enough to combat the climate crisis and secure a livable future, with no indicators of global climate action currently on track for 2030. 🌏🌡️

How about we shift from centre-right dweebs dishonestly trying to reframe our intentions and towards actually being honest with people about how renewable energy only makes your bills cheaper, cuts air pollution and cuts greenhouse gases if politicians actually directly tackle corporate power

The Trump administration claims that clean energy sources like wind and solar drive up costs, but federal data shows the opposite.

States that embrace renewables are more likely to have lower electricity prices than those relying on fossil fuels or nuclear power.

I polled 100+ attendees of my talk about which modes of transportation they use most and which they would *like* to use most. The results are pretty striking: most people travel most often by car, but their preferences are nearly the opposite. 87 use cars most, but only 20 *want* to! #CIRPA2025

The consumer backlash to data centers is here.

Right now, you’re paying more for your electricity because of AI data centers you’ve never seen — and that may never be built. Advocates for ratepayers in Maryland are pushing back.

It is truly gut-wrenching to see this administration (deliberately, it often seems) taking a wrecking ball to American companies because they happen to be in the business of providing clean energy rather than polluting energy:

AI will have all types of effects on skilled work, some bad some perhaps good, but everyone who cares about climate disruption needs to explicitly confront that ramping data centers *in the current economic model* (with the current people in charge) will only accelerate greenhouse gas emissions.
