Just saw this posted on FB and had to share.

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. Source is Odyssee-Mure.

"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. ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets

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

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. Great pic via @JBPssx

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

The White House climate page is now gone. Climate change is not. www.whitehouse.gov/climate

🚨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. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

I needed this comment today.

Make America 30s Germany Again.

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

Powering the world with clean energy is common sense. It will secure the future for our grandchildren. The clean energy transformation is - and remains - unstoppable www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/t...

Trump Withdraws from Paris Agreement (Again): What This Moment Means for Climate Action

Trump has pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement (again) — but here’s how the US can still fight the climate crisis.

globalcitizen.org

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.

Everyone working the climate space needs some cute from time to time. #climateaction #animalsky

Meet Ticket and Tailor, our Tamworth pig ecosystem engineers! 🐖🐖 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. youtu.be/8jmJG_3f-HQ?...

The US supreme court has turned down an appeal from oil and gas companies attempting to block lawsuits that could find them responsible for billions of dollars of damages due to climate change, the @apnews.com reports. apnews.com/article/supr...

While fire fighters put out the last of the LA fires, half the world has already burned. We need to maintain a spotlight on the devastation everywhere, not just around the homes of the wealthy. #climateaction

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).

Happy New Year

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. If anyone needs a collection of beautiful plant photos... github.com/borncamp/oxf...
