Die Verdreifachung des Pendlereuros kostet bis 2029 700 Millionen Euro. Der parlamentarische Budgetdienst hat analysiert, wer davon profitiert: Das ärmste Einkommensfünftel bekommt 3 Prozent, das wohlhabendste Fünftel mit 36 Prozent 12 mal so viel. #Budgetkrise

Österreichs Emissionen steigen wieder im Jahr 2025. Grund, schleppender erneuerbaren Ausbau, Erdgas (prognostizierte Zunahme 16 Prozent) und Kerosin (rund 8 % Zunahme) - hat das @wegenercenter.bsky.social berechnet.

Finanzierung fossiler Unternehmen durch Erste Group (links) und RBI (rechts) 2022-2024, aufgeteilt nach expandierenden und nicht-expandierenden fossilen Unternehmen (in Mio. USD). Das zeigt der neuste Bericht der NGO Urgewald, @johannafruehwald.bsky.social www.urgewald.org/publikatione...

As of today, there are more electric cars than diesel cars in Norway.

Was der BDI in seinem jüngsten Monatsbericht über die deutsche Automobilindustrie schreibt, steht ja irgendwie in einem gewissen Gegensatz zum Einsatz der Bundesregierung für den Verbrennungsmotor.

China’s shift away from diesel in the heavy truck segment is dramatic. The country sold more than 900,000 heavy trucks in 2024. Diesel’s share fell to about 57% that year. cleantechnica.com/2025/11/26/c...

electric construction isn't cheap or easy but it's very good of Oslo council to be pushing hard to make it happen www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j... www.klimaoslo.no/zero-emissio...

Gut, das @profil.at hier dran bleibt. "Eine Unterlassung ortet die Sta jedoch auch hier nicht [..]: Das Risiko für die Zivilbevölkerung sei der anhaltende Bürgerkrieg gewesen und nicht die Ölförderung." vs "Rechtsexperte: Öl-Suche hätte unverzüglich gestoppt werden müssen"

Huge news from the UK today: after UN climate talks in which there was a massive fight over language on fossil fuels, the UK government today announced that it will in fact be keeping many millions of barrels of oil & gas in the ground. Deeds rather than just words for a change! 🧵

#Breaking | The Gov't of the UK has adopted a policy to ban new oil and gas exploration. 👏 With this plan—which includes just transition elements for workers & communities—the UK becomes the 🌎's largest producer so far to end new licensing. 🧵1/4 @nataliejones.bsky.social

The costs of Direct Air Capture will not fall as much as hoped. "Efforts to reduce carbon emissions should therefore* continue at pace, says the research team." *Therefore is problematic here, as it implies that if DACCS was cheap less reductions are needed. No, no, no. ethz.ch/en/news-and-... 1/

The Nepalese EV transition. In simple terms, brown on this graph is India's share and blue is China's share. The trigger? India effectively halted all imports of petroleum into Nepal in 2015, an "undeclared blockade", which was "masked as constitutional concern". robbieandrew.github.io/carsales/

Österreich hat mit der EU den Methan-Pledge unterschrieben: Zusammen die Methanemissionen um -30% bis 2030 vs 2020 zu senken 2020 lagen die Methan Emissionen in Österreich bei 7.1 Mio t CO2e, 2024 bei 6.8 Mio t. Das ist nur eine Reduktion von 4.2%. Was bedeutet andere EU Länder müssen mehr machen.

Global CO2 emissions are showing signs of levelling, thanks to a slight decline in net land-use change emissions offsetting continued growth in fossil emissions. The trends are way off compared to the 1.5C scenarios with no or low overshoot assessed in the IPCC. Details: bsky.app/profile/glen...

Four years ago a bunch of deals were made on the sidelines of the #COP26 climate summit in Glasgow We already knew the deforestation one was off track Today we've found out the methane one is too. The world is headed for an 8% cut in methane by 2030 versus promised 30% cut, @unep.org report says

It's so much fun that they just admit this www.eneos-xplora.com/english/news...

German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery. CATL, BYD et al must be laughing all the way to the bank. Sigh. www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/w...

The same for journalists. If a politician or business leader spits out 1.5C or net zero, ask them how fast emissions need to drop to reach net zero in 2050, and how fast they are dropping today. Point out the contradiction. Make them explain it.

Söder begründet die Senkung der Luftverkehrsteuer in der Pressekonferenz folgendermaßen: „Ein klares Signal, dass Fliegen in Deutschland wettbewerbsfähig in, vor allem im Binnenbereich.“ Der Wettbewerb besteht im „Binnenbereich“ vor allem mit der Bahn.

Wenn man den IEA Energy Outlook verwendet, muss man diese Grafik kennen. Sie zeigt den Unterschied zwischen den verschiedenen Szenarien und wie viel Grad Erwärmung sie bewirken.

This is even better: household electricity bills are lowest in the net zero scenario, basically everywhere. Of course they are: buying fossil fuels and burning them is obscenely expensive and unreliable and requires constant, expensive support

Wow - this is a good one. In most regions, power grid system costs are the worst in the fossil-fuel-explosion scenario - in Europe and China, it's cheapest in the 'net zero' scenario > grid costs are way lower than costs saved on fuel purchasing!!

🤡OIL DEMAND WILL KEEP RISING🤡 What are the IEA assumptions that make rising oil demand so improbable?

Praktisch alle Kraftwerke, die mühsam repariert und wieder aufgebaut wurden, mit einem Drohnensturm in einer Nacht zerstört. Der kommende Winter wird die Hölle - und genau das ist es, was Putin will: die Hölle für die Ukraine.

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Friday outlined plans to tax commercial flights and private jets, an initiative meant to combat planet-warming pollution from aviation that could hike the cost of business travel.

The #COP30 world leaders summit is about to start, and on this thread I'll be tracking how world leaders address energy transition (specifically fossil fuels) in their speeches. Let's go!

Interessant: Auch der Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA) kritisiert die Verschiebung des ETS 2 (der Benzin und Diesel deutlich verteuern wird) mit klaren Worten:

Ein paar weiterführende Gedanken zum interessanten Interview von @sigridstagl.bsky.social in der #ZIB2 mit @arminwolf.at Spannend ist an der Stelle der Bericht des @esabcc.bsky.social, der die Kommission berät. Und auch die rechtlichen Aspekte der Advisory Opinion des Internationalen Gerichtshofs.

this is extremely important and there are so many serious voices in the climate world who have this completely wrong?

ACTUAL GOOD NEWS WARNING 65% of the planned coal capacity from 2015 ended up not existing, thanks almost entirely to climate policy and renewable energy construction China is an outlier - but maybe not for long @e3g.bsky.social www.e3g.org/publications...

The average water level measured at Virginia Key (near #Miami) set a new monthly record high in October, which is also the new *all-time* record high month. I also feel confident that it was the highest monthly water level there since the last interglacial period... ~120,000 years ago. 🤯🌊🧪

"Some people may perceive one category up from another one as only a "little" bit stronger. Like earthquake scales, the hurricane intensity scale increases logarithmically. That means a doubling of wind is not a doubling of damage. It actually results in a 256-fold increase in possible damage."

"Taken together, these plans would cut carbon by only about 10% by 2035 compared with 2019 levels. This is only about a sixth of the drop in global emissions needed to limit global heating to 1.5C." www.theguardian.com/environment/...
