Car Tailpipes are the largest source of climate pollution in the United States.

Israel killed an average of at least 47 girls and women per day in Gaza. A new analysis published by the United Nations shows that more than 38,000 girls and women were killed in between October 2023 and December 2025.

"Asked by Axios last week at an energy conference in Houston about how natural gas jives with the company’s clean energy goals and overall strategy, Google’s head of advanced energy, Michael Terrell, said: “We don’t have anything to say on that.”" www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A HUGE, narrative-breaking moment for the UK car market New EVs are now cheaper than petrol cars on average, says Autotrader Last yr CCC said price parity was due by 2028 – and it's already here And EVs are already MUCH cheaper to run than petrol

A striking difference between the 2021-22 and the current fossil fuel crunches is the IEA's response. This time, not a mention of the actual solutions to cut dependence on fossil fuels - clean energy and electrification. This expert letter calls them out for it.

For now, the war in the Middle East hasn't led to increased coal burn relative to last year's level. Solar and wind continue to increase their share in the global mix. energyandcleanair.org/fossil-power...

every wind turbine makes us less dependent on unhinged dictators so thanks for boosting our renewables industry

Here is the other reason.

I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad as.ft.com/r/db911dd6-f...

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸 We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto. The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

This is the virtuous cycle that good transportation infrastructure can cultivate: Protected spaces for wheelchairs, bikes, skateboards, etc. -> more people visibly enjoying active transit -> more people deciding to join the fun -> more popular support for further infrastructure investment!

Every quote in this piece hits hard. What a devastating assessment. 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

gah *why* would you frame the article like this when all the experts quoted tell you the answer is no? The opposite, in fact 🫠 do better @financialtimes.com giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

The time between fossil fuel crises is just going to keep shrinking, until there's no discrete single "crisis" - just one unbroken prolonged state of global suffering due to fossil fuel unreliability The best time to ditch fossil fuels was 30 years ago. The second best time is now

Important piece in the Guardian today about the outsized influence that the UK’s approach to fossil fuels, including approving new oil & gas fields, has on the rest of the world, especially on countries in the global South www.theguardian.com/environment/... (cont'd)

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

Georgia Voter: It's giving war crime. You can't do that. We don't just annihilate people because we can and, you know, make a grab for the money and the oil. And that's what we've done in Venezuela. And that's what we're doing in Iran.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

oh the markets are paying attention now

All countries MUST withdraw overflight, landing or refueling permission for US planes, with immediate effect. Too much is at stake to just wait and “hope” Trump will back down, or someone, somewhere in US system will intervene to stop him.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

“When advisers raised the possibility that Iran could shut down the Strait of Hormuz — a choke point for vast quantities of global oil and gas — Mr. Trump dismissed the possibility, assuming the regime would capitulate before it came to that.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

NEW | Cheap battery storage means solar can now economically meet up to 90% of India’s electricity demand ☀️🔋 Solar paired with batteries could deliver electricity at a LCOE of INR 5.06/kWh, lower than the average power cost in most Indian states 🇮🇳 ember-energy.org/lat...

“The last thing the state should be doing is spending money to make us think that nothing bad has happened and that the war in Iran has little effect on the rest of the world.” - @stephenkb.bsky.social on why fuel subsidies are a really bad idea. www.ft.com/content/2961...

The thing is that these shipments of crude oil, LNG & refined fuels are big. There’s a threshold effect. You don’t just get a little bit of a shipment. If you’re outbid you lose the whole lot. So poor countries lose supply.

I feel like “the world passed peak gas-powered car sales in 2017” is not a widely known fact

5/ The most socially effective measures are those that apply regardless of income, car ownership, and place of residence: free or heavily subsidized public transportation, profit caps for corporations, and targeted subsidies for low-income groups.

I'm not an economist. But I know that trying to subsidise demand in a supply crisis is one of the stupidest things you can do, and every major party in opposition is wanting to do it

And encourage people to behave in a frugal manner! We are just entering spring, the fuel rise for domestic purposes only comes into play *next* price cap rise which will be *high summer*, i think we can encourage lower domestic fuel use during summer? Obviously petrol a more *immediate* issue but

Don't subsidise energy prices during a supply crisis: give cash transfers to low-income and vulnerable households instead.

oh yikes

you might not believe in climate change but your insurance company certainly does.

In the age of petrowars, green public mobility from the Big Green State

Anyone supporting the Lib Dem calls for fuel duty cuts seriously needs to stop and think

He's not wrong. That's why millions of Europeans are trying to get solar panels, EVs and heat pumps. They provide energy security. We need to make them available to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

The. Rise. Of. Cognitive. Surrender. Study finds that people who use GenAI chatbots rely on them 80% of the time, and develop almost no capacity to recognize when a chatbot is feeding them faulty information. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

also, Lib Day (and Taco day) gave the impression he can control the situation, control markets, switch the pressure on and off. this has proven to be unhelpful for everyone

LNG priced out in Vietnam! And this is not a free market. Vietnam and many countries around the world are under intense pressure from the US to use LNG. Japan's money people are also working hard to get all of these projects built in other countries. But the economics are just too obvious now

Having imposed unnecessary austerity on us for a decade the political class has no credibility left to impose necessary austerity

This is where freakouts in Europe about petrol and diesel prices might be a distraction. There are good chances that Europeans can secure supply to avoid first order effects of this crisis, only to be battered by the second order effects of a supply chain crisis once Asian economies grind to a halt

UK greenhouse gas emissions are now down 54% since 1990. They fell 2% last year. It's something the country doesn't boast about enough. Yes, some of it is switch from industry to services. But the biggest reductions are from changes to electricity supply. 👇 www.gov.uk/government/s...

at a time of scarcity, rich countries consuming as usual means more pain for countries that can't afford higher prices. Grim that we've reached such a low point in multilateralism that it's not even part of the conversation. No sense of solidarity or collective responsibility for saving fuel

This is one of the reasons the government needs to start warning people about what an energy crisis could mean. The average member of the public will have no idea this is a possibility. It might not happen, but if it does happen and it’s a surprise… ouch

One month into the war and history's biggest energy crisis, fuel rationing is spreading around the world. But amidst all the needless suffering, this shock will speed the global pivot to clean energy and electrification. My piece in today's @nytopinion.nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/o...

66/ EV Internet searches are off the charts. I told NY Times that electrification is a "shock absorber" "Heat pump installations are on the rise in Britain Electric rickshaw sales are booming in Pakistan Induction cooktops are selling out at online retailers in India" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/o...

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
