I hope all the right-wingers who are enthusiastic about this war with Iran will be equally enthusiastic about the Iranian refugees when they arrive on our shores.

Global solar and wind power surges despite US green cuts under Trump The IEA has cut in half its forecast for renewable energy growth in US this decade, and upgraded its forecast for India by 10%, putting it on track to become the 2nd largest renewables growth market after China.

25% New analysis finds wind power reduced the wholesale price of electricity by up to a quarter (25%) in 2024, equivalent to around £25/MWh. eciu.net/media/press...

Last year, we were lucky enough to welcome Dr Jane Goodall to the Greenpeace stage at Glastonbury, where she shared this beautiful message of HOPE in tough times. Rest in peace, Jane. Thank you so much for all the hope you gave to us all. 💚💚

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

This is so deeply unserious. Throughout the entire 14 years of the Conservative government oil and gas licenses were routinely issued and for much of the period there was a policy of maximising extraction. Production still fell, the economy flatlined, and energy security got worse.

In London, hate will never win.

Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

‘I’m not far right but I went to a rally organised by Tommy Robinson’ is a pretty unconvincing position.

From yesterday’s March Against Fascism. A peaceful protest from us. A predictably violent, pissed-up riot from the so-called patriots.

Surging solar imports mean #Africa can harness its abundant sunshine and expand electricity access ☀️⏩ Since June 2024, it imported 15 GW of solar from China, enough to add at least 5% power in 16 countries 🌍 Has Africa's solar boom begun? 👀 @BBC 🎧

1/ New report from @bentleyallan.bsky.social's Net Zero Policy Lab: As the US withdraws from green tech industries and pressures allies to follow suit, China is stepping in to power the developing world's energy transition. The scale is staggering. www.netzeropolicylab.com/china-green-...

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?

Linking green energy to your local school, your hospital, your workplace is a really smart thing to do. The anti-Net Zero movement wants to cast it as some top-down, abstract diktat that will make "ordinary people" cold and poor. So the fightback needs to emphasise its tangible, local benefits.

Gonna say this til I'm blue in the face: wind and solar are inherently cheap forms of energy, but we are not benefitting from that because the energy market isn't working www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Doesn't make up for rubbish weather, but still rather lovely. 🌈

Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives? Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course

The amount of cash pouring into renewable energy products has reached a new record high. $386 billion USD was invested during the first half of 2025 alone, a 10% jump from the same time last year, according to new data from BNEF. The boom is mainly being driven by fast, small-scale solar.

There was a hint in 2024 that China's Carbon emissions had peaked due to their massive roll out of renewables, which continues. Now the data from the first half of 2025 confirms that CO2 emissions in China are decreasing. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🌊🔋

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.

If BBC local news gave even a fraction of the attention it gives to nimbyism to the dual climate and biodiversity crises, it's just possible there'd be less nimbyism.

Far-right parties have undermined climate action by spreading lies and opposing climate policies, so despite the increasing frequency and severity of heatwaves, public support for climate action is declining. To stop climate change, we need to fight these lies and the liars who tell them.

Good piece from the editor-in-chief of @businessgreen.bsky.social. It's odd how little environmental policy (whether good or bad) has featured in assessments of Labour's first year. If we're serious about making climate a major issue, we can't then ignore it when assessing the government's record.

NEW CHART: Trump's "big beautiful bill" & other efforts to dismantle climate policy means the US will add an extra 7bn tonnes of emissions to the atmosphere from now until 2030, compared to meeting its former climate pledge under the Paris Agreement 🫠 www.carbonbrief.org/...

Oh. You mean a billionaire who originally funded this project but has since been informed by fossil thugs and his tech bro tosser pals that “we don’t want this kind of information out there,” and it’s suddenly ‘lost.’ I’m shocked I tell you

🤣🤣🤣🤣

🚨BREAKING: Around 100 JETS will be flying in to Jeff Bezos' wedding on Friday - emitting over 354 TONNES of carbon into the atmosphere. That's equivalent to what almost 30,000 CARS do in a DAY. Anyone else find the super rich's disregard for the climate disgusting?

At least 78.7% of the UK grid right now - potentially as high as 85.9% if we assume France is nuclear - is generated without carbon emissions. 🔥

It’s #CleanAirDay today and here’s a reminder why we campaign. New @rcphysicians.bsky.social report out today reiterates the #Health & economic cost of #AirPollution. With 30,000 deaths a year and costs of £500m a week, government needs to finally get its act together.

Reminder: the price of solar energy doesn't spike whenever there's a war somewhere.

This is a devastating loss. Climate.gov is home to the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit, a major resource for local governments and businesses working to understand and prepare for climate risks. Another huge blow to U.S. adaptation capacity (along w/ 6th National Climate Assessment, IRA cuts, etc).

Lots to be frustrated and concerned about as always, but it's quietly been a very good week for the UK green economy. Over £13bn announced for public transport projects, solar panels on new builds confirmed, and reports the Warm Homes Plan will not be cut. www.businessgreen.com/news/4414672...
