In 2018, climate scientist @drkatemarvel.bsky.social wrote in @sciam.bsky.social: 'Climate change isn't a cliff we fall off, but a slope we slide down.' The latest @climatetrunk.bsky.social visual and write-up explores that slope. www.climatetrunk.com/infographics... #12 of 100+ visuals

We're delighted that @climatetrunk.bsky.social is out in the world! Conceived by @johnlang.bsky.social, @netzerotracker.bsky.social Lead & Oxford Net Zero Associate, it's a new visual tool to help people understand climate change & the global energy system. Read more below! ⬇️

Only 8 nations voted against the UN General Assembly backing the #ICJ’s landmark climate ruling. Combined, they account for one-third of historical CO2 emissions. The US (#1) + Russia (#3) make up the vast bulk, with generous support from Iran and Saudi Arabia. @daisydunne.carbonbrief.org

This week’s @climatetrunk.bsky.social graphic shows how solar beat the IEA’s 2015 forecast for 2025 by 1,800%. The IEA expected the world to add about 34 GW of solar each year through to 2040. In 2025, the world added almost 650 GW. #9 of 100: www.climatetrunk.com/infographics... 🌞🌳

NEW – Factcheck: US and Iran are world’s only major emitters without net-zero targets | @daisydunne.carbonbrief.org w/ comment from @johnlang.bsky.social Read here: buff.ly/PxQKIqG

No country is too small to matter. Nations that each emit around 1% of global CO2 may look negligible on their own, but together they produce about 30% of the total – roughly as much as China. If they sit it out, the maths doesn’t stack up.

Honoured to have @skepticalscience.bsky.social host the first @climatetrunk.bsky.social insight on the #ReallyBigPicture. skepticalscience.com/climatetrunk... Thanks for the nudge, @kenrice.bsky.social @baerbelw.bsky.social

Climate change is bad news for societies built on stability. But the future is not pre-written. Within a single lifetime, the extent of heating – and the risks that come with it – depends on the choices societies make over the next decade or so.

Climate and energy are hard to get your head around, unless you're in the climate Bluesky community. Over the last year, I’ve been building something to help everyone else: @climatetrunk.bsky.social 🌳 One visual a week, for a year. Probably two years now, given I've already drafted more than 52.

I often appreciate Daniel Yergin's dose of reality, but his claim that 'The 2050 target is enshrined in British law. But it is not embraced by others' is a dose of nonsense. - 100 countries have a #netzero target in law or policy - 130+ if we count 'Pledged' and 'Proposed' @eciu.net @ketanjoshi.co

🚨Some major errors & misleading claims from experienced presenter Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today, when discussing British Steel with Treasury Minister James Murray I hope these are corrected on tomorrow's programme, and Robinson sticks to the facts in future. Here's what he got wrong... 🧵

The @iea.org's latest Global Energy Review might disappoint the EV naysayers Global EV sales up over 25% in 2024 "EV sales in the UK surged, driven by the ZEV mandate" "Very rapid deployment of EVs" cited as a reason for slowing growth in global oil demand t.co/YCuZcIduXR

The @netzerotracker.bsky.social now shows a drop from 93% to 78% thanks to Mr Trump's executive orders revoking mention of a federal-level #netzero target. Account for US states and that 78% becomes 84%. In total, 66% of the US economy *still* has deep reduction targets. My latest #infographic 👇

Are we seeing a ‘net zero recession’ as companies backpedal on their climate commitments? In fact, we may be seeing a more positive development - what might be called a ‘corporate recalibration’ writes NZT's @johnlang.bsky.social for @contextnewsroom.bsky.social. www.context.news/net-zero/opi...

Wow this is the best concise explanation of climate change and how to limit it in the future that I have ever seen! Share widely, this has actually renewed a little hope in me
