The dirty scrubbers green-wash hiding crimes of dirty business included Barclays, who were branded “totally dishonest” after calling tens of billions of dollars for fossil fuel companies “sustainable finance”. ⚠️65 biggest banks committed $7,900,000,000,000 over 9 years to the fossil fuel industry.

This has also been the result of the analysis of the data from @openenergymon.bsky.social Heatpumpmonitor.org youtu.be/SiHtzDNWAo4?...

This is a section from my interview where I basically say that I don't see this as a super bad flu season - or at least, that there is no evidence to say now that it will be. full interview is here youtu.be/_PZiU3R7jac

New fairy / Angel for our tree 🌲

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four. I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation. 🧵

What do you make if this @kevinclimate.bsky.social ?

Hi @aaronjbastani.bsky.social You really should ask James to come on and explore why Trees and Whales wont alone solve this- and why an immediate and decisive turnaround is now needed.

I finally found the time to take a look at the EPA's new climate change website, and... holy $h!t! This is how it describes the role of carbon dioxide concentrations, which comes last after changes in orbit & rotation, solar activity, albedo, and volcanism. 1/3 www.epa.gov/climatechang...

Looking back on the murder of the brilliant and astonishing Ken Saro-Wiwa, 30 years on. He was executed for seeking to stop the despoilation of the Niger Delta by Shell. His murder prefigured much of what we have seen since. He remains a guiding light to us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yTB...

"Based on >100 peer-reviewed studies, this analysis finds that dietary change plant-based with rewilding provides far greater environmental benefits than any grazing-based approach. (...) this makes plant-based + rewilding one of the most powerful solutions to the climate and ecological crises."

Five years ago, I became an advisor to Alberta's Eavor Technologies, world leader in closed-loop geothermal technology. Last week their flagship project started delivering power to the German grid. mliebreich.substack.com/p/big-news-c...

It’s Friday. May I be blunt? F*ck this. www.bbc.com/news/article...

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

SoCalGas is using *efficiency funding* collected from ratepayers to push LA wildfire survivors who lost their homes to build back with *gas* rather than all-electric. Truly bleak stuff. This should not be allowed. Where are our regulators at the CPUC? insideclimatenews.org/news/0312202...

🚨 Well the data is back, and as I figured, the news isn't good... #Arctic sea ice volume is currently the *lowest* on record for this time of year. Graphic from zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

I've finally finished editing the video of my heat pump installation, there's now some cold weather monitoring data to talk about, TLDR It's working very well, 50% cost saving compared to gas 😃 youtu.be/Tz0W9xCBxS0

Gas transmission companies are spending billions on upgrading pipes to take hydrogen which will never happen and they know it. But they are raking it in from this work and it conveniently it adds to electricity prices - slowing down electrification @novaramedia.com

Lots of news coverage this morning about £28 billion investment approved to upgrade the UK's energy network. BUT: The majority of the spending – £17.8 billion - announced today is to maintain Britain’s gas networks rather than build new transmission lines.

Sorry @bobbyllew.bsky.social how do we get to "you can heat shed on the moon with a heat pump" to - they don't work in leaky homes- in 24 hours An continuity error I'm sure. youtu.be/QyalHJxqLIk?...

"5 million homes unsuitable for heat pumps" says the person flogging electric rads 🤔 @richardlowes.bsky.social youtu.be/QyalHJxqLIk?...

Tetra Pak just launched a heat-pump-based pasteurization system that can cut energy use by up to 77%. Electrification + heat recovery = massive efficiency gains. This is the kind of behind-the-scenes innovation that quietly transforms entire sectors. www.foodtechbiz.com/business-upd...

If Ireland's emissions are "too small to matter" then I might as well evade my taxes and eat doughnuts for lunch. Read my latest column about the laziest excuse in the climate debate: www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

I wish more people were aware of this. Considering the scale of the threat, the media's near-silence is both remarkable and culpable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Polanski was there too. How hard would it have been to take this photo opportunity and share it. If your trying to attract votes from the left- don't mention climate emergency is my take- its not socially progressive! @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Sovereignty? Democracy? Sorry, but we can't afford those anymore. We'll be sued if we try to defend them. This week's column is about a massive but scarcely-covered scandal. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every now and then I'll record a podcast and I fret that it's a topic we've covered before, and then all my anxieties are kicked out of the stadium because what we discussed is AMAZING. This is really worth a watch/listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju3P...

The extent of global sea ice cover is more than 3 million square kilometers below the 1981-2010 average. This is the 2nd lowest on record for this date over the satellite-era. Data from nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

Don't you find this just a bit wierd @aaronjbastani.bsky.social . He didn't share this clip. You didn't report it. Just like the MSM ecosystem everyone seems to know where they can't go instctivly

So @zackpolanski.bsky.social goes to the breifing and says we need to talk about it more. Then doesn't even share this clip or say anything about it. Politicians are all the same in the end.

Yes. 8% is the global reduction rate from the start of 2026 &for an “83% chance of not exceeding 2°C” (based on Lamboll et al 2023 budgets). Include a relatively weak interpretation of international equity & the UK reduction rate would be nearer 13%pa; similar to that for most ‘developed’ countries.

Heavy-industry sectors like cement have long struggled to decarbonise because their processes require very high temperatures. That’s why the new Rondo Energy heat-battery project in Thailand is such a big deal - powering a cement plant with low-carbon steam. www.energy-storage.news/rondo-energy...

Guessing the bbc aren't doing a live feed from this. Did @novaramedia.com make it?

This is worrying. Recently moved into a new build development. Scuffed up a patch of grass to sow a mini meadow- only to find plastic netting embedded in the newly laid turf. Apparently rife in new builds as easier to lay & cheaper to produce. @davegoulson.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

Tax wealth not work

🚀 Huge step forward for decarbonising heat: Construction has started on world’s largest seasonal thermal energy storage facility in Vantaa, Finland. Massive underground caverns will store 1.1m m³ of hot water — around 90 GWh of heat, enough to warm an entire town through winter.

I live in the southwest and was wondering if X links would have helped with the CO2 intensity 🤔 @gjuk.bsky.social @mliebreich.bsky.social

The cost of living crisis was caused in large part by gas prices. Heat pump policy supports a solution which which gets the country off gas AND reduces emissions. I seriously hope this is some crossed wires, if not we really are in trouble. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

How much carbon budget do we have left if we want to stay below 1.5˚C? Just 2 more years at current rates. It is essentially impossible to avoid global temperature rise exceeding 1.5˚C. climatelabbook.substack.com/p/the-shrink...

A reminder: energy isn't just electricity. Many countries have done well to decarbonise the tip of the energy iceberg - electricity. The hard bit is what's below the tip of the iceberg - heat, cooling and transport.

C'mon @steveracemp.bsky.social A chance to meet chris - than alone is worth the walk across to this

Is @novaramedia.com going ? I believe media can attend by arrangement?

It's not every day that both poles set new monthly temperature records (see my earlier post). Last month also observed the warmest October on record for the #Arctic Circle. Not great!! Data provided by doi.org/10.24381/cds....

We obtained hundreds of documents revealing how Exxon funded the rightwing Atlas Network to spread climate denial in Latin America and all across the Global South. Read @geoffdembicki.bsky.social's exclusive story. www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

🧪🧵 Future change to #ThwaitesGlacier, Antarctica constitutes the largest uncertainty in #sea-level rise forecasts. The Science Coordination Office of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration recently issued a briefing document summarising some key findings - thwaitesglacier.org/findings

Unless I'm mistaken @steveracemp.bsky.social hasn't signed up for this yet? @groceronthegreen.bsky.social

Media can attend this by arrangement @novaramedia.com @aaronjbastani.bsky.social

Really good to see this research published by @globalactionplan.bsky.social, Ricardo and @hertscc.bsky.social today. Domestic combustion is a major source of fine particle pollution in the UK, and this new research shows we could save the NHS more than £54m a year if unnecessary burning was stopped.
