Beautiful essay by climate scientist @petergleick.bsky.social on the difference between dismayed and defeated. With a list of what's still unstoppable....

The frustration my colleagues and I feel is almost palpable. We’ve been warning of these issues for so long that most of the pioneers in this field are now retired or dead. After giving more than a thousand lectures, talks, testimonies, and interviews I’m feeling old and worn. Still, I cling to my optimism that the worst outcomes can still be avoided because I see positive signs of progress. The cost of non-carbon energy alternatives has fallen so low, it is now cheaper to shut down existing coal plants than to keep running them. In 2023, China built as much solar photovoltaics capacity as the entire world did in 2022. Clean energy is the leading form of new electricity generation in the U.S., with solar reaching record levels in 2023. In 2024, wind and solar will generate more electricity than hydropower. In early 2025, renewable electricity generation will surpass coal to become the largest source of electricity globally. Most encouraging, the growing efforts of younger generations to raise awareness and fight for action on climate, often at great personal cost, show they understand the stakes and care deeply about their future.

Middle income countries like Brazil have already been pushing for similar kinds of joint ventures with Chinese green tech firms.

Here’s a recent article I co-authored with Alex Kentikelinis on “Globalizing green industrial policy through technology transfers”: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
