“It’s easier to talk here than it is in America," the comedian told an audience at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. He could not be that ignorant. How callous. What an insult to the life of Jamal Khashoggi.

"Spain’s rapid renewables build-out means its power prices were set by fossil generation just 19% of the time, down from 75% in 2019. As a result, wholesale electricity was almost a third cheaper than the EU average" Imagine having cheaper power Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Thames Water's bidders ask to be excused from fully complying with rules on pollution until 2035-40. Rule of law? Anything given to TW can't be denied to others. Sewage will be dumped. Customers will be fleeced. Returns will be extracted. One law for corporations, another for lesser mortals.

🇨🇦 Ahem, #Canada? 👋 How Germany outfitted half a million balconies with #solar panels The country’s residents installed 200MW of balcony solar during the first half of 2024. It’s becoming an increasingly popular way to take #climate action in Germany. #Energy www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Want some truly good news?! Solar energy is booming like never before! Several countries have already doubled their solar capacity in 2025 alone (including China! 🤯☀️) Me for @prospectmagazine.co.uk feat. @billmckibben.bsky.social & @ember-energy.org www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/techno...

Having promised to peak emissions this decade, barely 50 years after it began to industrialise in earnest, China looks set to achieve that. And in the process, become a world leader in wind power, solar energy and electric vehicles. theconversation.com/when-china-m...

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Just a reminder that if you enjoy a book, please leave a quick review on Amazon or Bookshop dot org, or wherever. Even if it's only a sentence, it really, really helps get the word out to other readers.

Bloody solar panels, cluttering up the countryside and preventing desertification while providing clean energy and growing food.

A fun repost for a change

Wtf is this headline!! Killed by whom, ghosts????

11,000 years ago, Earth’s “freezer” broke. Approximately 340 billion tons of ancient carbon escaped into the air, warming the planet even faster. Sound familiar? The same thing is starting again today. 🎥 Watch the story: youtube.com/shorts/UPqKG... 🧪 #SciComm

Claude Monet - 'The Wooded Path', 1865, oil on canvas.

This is a 'small' lignite mine on the former GDR border, the scar is so deep and wide. With it's own cloud ceiling in the morning. 150Mt CO2 emitted and it still emits by sitting there with exposed, once sequestered carbon. Burning stuff is the past. Don't live in the past.

This is the real threat to free speech.

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to invest in wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables (unless on-site). But what critics conveniently forget is the huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Wickett, Texas. 👇

Big inhale--hold it!--...and SIGH. Autism is not a disease, it is a neurotype. It may have been first documented in the 20th century, but it's probably existed forever. Being weird isn't a crime, and just b/c ppl aren't like you doesn't make them ill or broken. Being treated like trash does.

Someone's pet cat with the native wild red squirrel it just killed. Most cat owners have no idea of, or don't want to know, how much wildlife is slaughtered annually by domestic or feral cats. But it runs to 10s, possibly 100s, of BILLIONS of animals per year, and is a serious driver of extinction.

Remember 2 days ago when Musk was advocating to millions online and via livestream to "fight or die"? www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-mu... And the UK event saw 26 police officers injured www.bbc.com/news/article... Today he says, "incitement to murder and domestic terrorism is a felony crime."

I should clarify, given how many times I've RT-ed the Green Party recently, that I'm not actually a Green Party member. But their coms is on-point right now. 👏🌍

More than 100 of Donald Trump’s inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in what it described as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”.

I don't think Peter Mandelson is PM's biggest problem. The biggest problem is not standing up to the literal violent racism on our streets, supercharged by the richest man in the world, and threatening the very fabric of our society. If he and so many commentators can't see this, we're truly lost.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
