The EU has managed to reduce its primary energy consumption by 15% since 2000.
That is despite a much larger economy and mainly due to energy efficiency improvements in energy conversion as well as final energy use.

"If the world adopted a plant-based diet, we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares"
Imagine 3 billion more hectares for fully wild ecosystems.
Diet is THE elephant in the room when it comes to reversing nature collapse.

We could reduce the amount of land used for grazing and croplands used to grow animal feed.

This kills land use worries for solar across wide swaths of the planet.

Farms can install vertical solar panels without reducing crop yields
Adding rows of upright panels on farmland generates green power in the morning and evening while acting as a windbreak for crops

Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. And the change wasn’t magic, or even hard. This is very recent, and it just took vision and leadership. Your city could choose leadership too if it wanted to.

Lots of "growth vs net-zero" media coverage today following comments by Rachel Reeves.
But if u read her comments she didn't say they were in direct opposition, she was simply listing her "priorities".
The UK (and others) have shown over recent decades that growth and emissions can be decoupled

🚨BREAKING: @DouglasEmhoff reportedly confronted Bruce Fischer, Sen. Deb Fischer's husband, at the inauguration, saying, “Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” This came after Fischer declined to shake VP Harris's hand but attempted to greet Emhoff.

This is a good time to pay more attention to eco-fascism within climate spaces
People whose modus operandi is (a) intensifying the already real emotional hit of disaster, and then (b) telling you that you are helpless to mitigate or manage those disasters are buttering you up for fascist messaging

This snapshot of top climate news on @carbonbrief.org really captures global climate politics in this historical moment: full-on denial in the US, ambivalence and greenwashing in the UK, and a new implementation of 1+N, a "zone specific environmental management system," in China.

Always, always, always worth sharing the success stories alongside the bad news. Well done Paris! #climateaction
Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.

They came to Heal Somerset as piglets before Christmas and we're smitten. They are brothers and never leave each other's side, always rootling around and squealing at anyone who walks by in the hope of food.

Southern Africa is in the midst of its worst drought in at least a century, with 27 million people affected and 21 million children suffering from malnutrition, according to the World Food Programme (WFP).

I really like old herbarium illustrations. Last year I wrote some software to parse, score, and process the Oxford 400 herbarium dataset to remove the paper background and select the best photos.
