GOOD NEWS: Activists successfully pressured the Bank of England into no longer accepting bonds linked to the coal industry, and their new policy is stricter than most other financial institutions that have restrictions on doing business with the coal industry.

🚨 NEW REPORT: FIFA's biggest climate impact isn't flights or stadiums. It's promoting polluters. Our new briefing finds FIFA's deal with Aramco alone is estimated to induce 34.7 million tonnes of CO₂e – almost 4x the emissions of the entire World Cup. www.cooldownclimate.org/latest/the-w...
The World Cup's biggest climate cost isn't the tournament - it's the sponsors — Cool Down
New analysis finds that FIFA's deals with just four high-carbon sponsors - led by fossil fuel giant Aramco - could drive over four times more climate pollution than the tournament itself.

The critical thing to understand about this air conditioning debate is that fossil fuel companies should be held accountable for destroying the planet.

🫨 The world’s largest banks provided $906bn in finance to the fossil fuel industry last year. 🫨 📈 This is up nearly 8% since 2024, and locks in dependence on coal, oil and gas production for years to come. More here: lnkd.in/eeixEjbW 1/5
JUST DROPPED: Pakistan's solar boom is one of the energy transition's wildest stories, and nobody planned it. World's #2 panel importer in 2025, mostly on rooftops. No subsidy, no scheme. But it also has a dark side. More in my latest newsletter 👇 janrosenow.substack.com/p/pakistan-t...

This summer’s FIFA World Cup — with 104 matches across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico — will be the most polluting soccer tournament ever: www.latimes.com/environment/... via @blancabegert.bsky.social
3 countries. 16 stadiums. 104 matches. 2026 World Cup set to become 'most polluting' games ever
The expanded number of teams at this year's men's World Cup will help make the games the worst for the climate in history, mainly because of massive air travel.

⚖️🇪🇨 The Ecuadorian courts have ruled: CHEVRON MUST COMPENSATE for the damage caused in the Ecuadorian Amazon. More than 30,000 affected people fought for over 30 years to achieve this. #EndImpunity In the days leading up to the Anti-Chevron action❌🛢️, we reaffirm #DontPayChevron
2/Our new analysis shows: • An EU 0.2% methane intensity standard on imported fossil fuels could cut >3 Mt CH₄ annually • If 6 other major importers follow, global methane emissions could fall by >10 Mt CH₄ • That would close 34% of the gap to a 1.5°C-consistent pathway
NEW: Falling fossil everywhere: For the first time in 2025, fossil electricity generation fell in EVERY OECD country, compared to its peak. Solar and wind are helping the power sector to transition away from fossil fuels #TAFF
Do you want to see the "big picture" on climate change? Here it is. Emissions are on the left, and include CO2, CH4, N2O, and f-gases. Natural CO2 sinks (from healthy forests & oceans) are on the right. And carbon removal, what little there is, is on the right, too. All expressed as GWP100.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
