Why is climate policy moving backwards as the climate crisis gets worse? The answer may lie in medicine: people can accept a life-threatening diagnosis while denying what it requires them to do. Governments may be doing the same.

Renewables are now the world's largest source of electricity – and the main source of new supplies
It really needs to be international. How can I help get you started in France?

Wind is a whisker off of 60% of UK electricity supply this evening. Super nice! Via grid.iamkate.com
The Truth, I scream, this is the Truth of Our Age, I shout into the void, after this wasted afternoon dealing with an AI "assistant" that assisted with nothing, answered nothing, led nowhere, may its circuits burn in everlasting fire.

The worst thing is that everyone should know tariffs don't work from Ferris Bueller!

@99pi.org there were only three tessellating shapes, but I think you should look into The Hat, as a starter 😉
“We are not safe”. Why is our new Prime Minister so silent on the Climate Emergency? 🤷♀️ We’re in a drought, heatwaves & our food system is at risk. Yet no statements to the public. Where is the leadership? Do they even know what to do?🔥 We demand an honest national briefing and action plan.

You can't really argue with this, except it is a percentage of the population that have lost all decency, and the other half are as much in despair as anyone else.

Factcheck: No, Europe is not having its ‘quietest’ year for wildfires - Carbon Brief
In recent days, prominent climate sceptics and rightwing commentators have shared charts on social media incorrectly implying that Europe is having its “quietest” year for wildfires in 2026.

I'll revise my earlier assertion that #CCS is a con, and say that it will contribute in a tiny way to achieving #NetZero. @carbonbrief.org has done an excellent explainer from which I stole the graphic. Read it here: www.carbonbrief.org/qa-does-the-...
My heart goes out to those who must flee the flames. If we don't get serious about installing green energy, particularly solar, and keeping fossil fuels in the ground, this could/will be US!
AI company Anthropic secretly bought millions of rare and out-of-print books to train its Claude AI model. They used a hydraulic-powered cutting machine to remove the pages for scanning before destruction. See less
I'm volunteering at the #Toctoucau town hall for all the firefighters
While wildfires are ravaging communities across Europe, TotalEnergies announced US$11,2 billion in profit over six months. This is outrageous. Governments must make fossil fuel companies pay for the damage they profit from causing. act.350.org/sign/treaty-... #StopBurningStuff

As wildfires continue to burn, Shell today announced £7.4 billion in obscene profits. So we delivered your open letter to @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social calling on her to #StopRosebank the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil field. The reality of new oil & gas= our communities pay, Big oil profits.
So, I finally did a TED talk, and it got released today. I seem to have been quite intense, but I'm grateful they left in my Trump joke. www.ted.com/talks/bill_m...
