Nearly 2 billion people live in the red area. It is becoming completely uninhabitable. What do the climate deniers, who also hate immigration, think is going to happen?

Welsh scientists have developed a new biodegradable plastic made from seaweed that could one day replace fossil fuel-based food packaging

"Heat pumps just shift gas burning to the power station." Wrong. Even if 100% of electricity came from gas, a heat pump at SCOP 3.8 uses 51% less gas than a boiler. At a terrible SCOP 2.5, still 25% less. David MacKay made this point in 2008. The maths hasn't changed.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

Here’s a poem called ‘Life of a Naturalist’.

Climate Change is here. How will you help protect our earth ?

An animal recovering from paralysis shows pure joy, raising the question: can they feel gratitude like us?

#Spain receives more sunshine than any country in Europe — and it is building the solar infrastructure that geography always promised. Extremadura, Andalusia, and Castilla-La Mancha became the center where Spain added new solar capacity, racing toward its target of 74% renewable electricity by 2030

If we’re serious about clean energy, we need to fix electricity prices. Right now, the gas vs electricity gap is holding back heat pumps, EVs and more. In ep 4 of the Policy Fix podcast, our guests break down the policy levers behind electrification. 🎧: https://bit.ly/41K0PSY

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

In just over a decade, Chile went from no utility-scale wind or solar at all to having more electricity from these sources than from all fossil fuels combined: In 2000, wind+solar provided 0% of Chile's electricity, fossil fuels 45%.By 2025, wind+solar had risen to 36%, fossil fuels fallen to 28%.

The richest 1% will get $117 billion in tax cuts this year, thanks to Trump. That’s more than the combined budgets of eight federal agencies, including the Department of Education and the EPA. Meanwhile, the bottom 95% will see their taxes increase. It’s clear who he governs for.

Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm reminded of these wise words from Mr. Fred Rogers on what would have been his 98th birthday. We are all in this together. Let's renew ourselves to the fight for the common good. It's all the more important during these difficult times.

Hinkley Point C now expected to cost £49 billion.

Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition. This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct. As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open. Technical explanation here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

I had a preview of the Warm Homes Plan, and one thing that stood out was the clarity of direction it provides. A simple word count already tells part of the story. 🧵

Data centres are very energy hungry and generate a lot of waste heat. In principle, using this waste heat makes sense. That’s what I told the i Paper. In Finland it already heats homes; in the UK, schemes are emerging. inews.co.uk/opinion/heat...

“Housing developers in this country have a track record of pushing back against requirements that enhance energy performance of homes. We have seen this with insulation, heat pumps and other technologies. Ultimately, it will be to the detriment of the homebuyer.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

2025 has been a historic year for clean energy in UK, with renewable project approvals reaching a record-high 45 GW — nearly double of 2024. This surge was driven by an exceptional rise in battery storage capacity, which almost doubled to 28.6 GW, alongside strong growth in offshore wind & solar.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background. The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

With presents opened, turkey eaten & your guests gone, here is a different #ChristmasMovie for you to watch. All about @daringtodream.bsky.social, what we do, why it matters and how we are supporting #emotionalhealth. Carers, patients, clinicians explain our impact. vimeo.com/1144081329

Patients are humans, not just bodies. Hear how our 'Spaces to Talk' in hospitals also remind clinical staff that we may be living with illness; first & foremost we are a human being @johnchown.bsky.social @jennyrees.bsky.social @barbarachidgey.bsky.social daringtodream.wales/2025/11/17/p...

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

A small town installed solar panels on the school roof. Now, the school saves money, teaches children about sustainability, AND powers nearby homes. That’s the magic of community energy...everyone wins 🏆🌟 Interested in learning what your community could do? www.younity.coop/what-is-comm...

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented. That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water. Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

The underlying fundamental economics have changed dramatically: solar is now so cheap that businesses and households all around the world install it often without subsidies. Throw in batteries and the business case just keeps improving.
