‘Privatisation premium’: billions from UK energy bills paid to shareholders - at least £70.7bn in dividend payouts between 2010 and 2025, rather than reinvesting that money or reducing bills. Story by Matthew Taylor www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

New post just out: "The financial crisis theory of everything" Why the 2008 crash was the WW1 of our generation that led to nearly all of the problems we have today - from the rise of the radical right to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/t...

Pace now is everything. Fossil fuel states and corporations, aided by populist demagogues, are pulling out all the stops to defend their profits. At the same time, climate impacts are worsening rapidly. We have the tools to save ourselves. We need to use them, fast and furiously.

Another ⭐⭐⭐⭐ for my show from Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe #edfringe

⭐⭐⭐⭐ in @scotsman.com for Solastalgia at #edfringe #MyAssembly "A gently funny, deeply human and profoundly poignant show" www.edfringe.com/tickets/what...

Shipping has an emissions problem. The climate-denialist USA....denies it And the US is not merely being stupid, but is determined to foist its stupidity on other nations It's not even about defending industry - several industry groups support the proposed plan www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

I'm currently standing on stage every day for a month at #edfringe and pretty much saying this. We have to actively end the bad stuff. What I don't quite have the time to discuss in detail is that while long-term oil & gas are likely now unprofitable but short-term the volatility keep them going

I curse Chortle for giving me hope

A study confirms what we have long argued: the spectacular Atlantic 'cold blob' is the result of a slowing of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC, which transports warm waters into that region. That's the only part of Earth that resisted #globalwarming. 🌊 www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Anyone got a good source that collates most recent oil and gas demand projections/forecasts?

Difficult to imagine why media companies owned by multi millionaires and billionaires have been so keen to promote false stories about wealth taxes. Let's stop this nonsense. Tax the rich. taxjustice.net/press/millio...

Tune out the blah blah. This right here is why the climate crisis continues unabated and why we will cross 2ºC Emissions MUST fall by 5.5% THIS year and EVERY year thereafter until 2030 if we are to stand a remote chance of staying below 2ºC - there is ABSOLUTELY no sign of this level of reduction.

I'm hosting this event tomorrow night at #SXSWLondon. Come along

US climate scientists need all the help they can get. Including from foul-mouthed comedians! 🤡😱😱 Watch Emmy Award-Winning David Cross team up with Prof Michael Oppenheimer in the US launch of the hit series "Climate Science Translated". #climate #arresteddevelopment #climatescience

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source. In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up. @ember-energy.org

Hadn't realised she'd become a musician

I am doing lots of tests of my new climate comedy-theatre show 'Solastalgia' around the UK over the next couple months. Dates are here: mattwinning.com/events/

The inherent dichotomy between early climate action being most beneficial for society as a whole and the short-term incentive structures of fossil fuel (& adjacent) companies was, and still is, our downfall. 100 years from now people will be baffled.

“Vehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians. Vehicles with especially tall front ends are most dangerous to pedestrians, but a blunt profile makes medium-height vehicles deadly too.” Deadly by design. And they know it. www.iihs.org/news/detail/...

Get free tickets to see @mattywin.bsky.social and 4 new @unisouthampton.bsky.social comedians at Southampton Science Comedy night on June 19th! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/southampto...

What does it mean if: ~90% of US automaker profits come from domestic sales, ~90% of domestic profits come from trucks & SUVs, ~90% of US truck & SUV buyers don't need a truck or SUV. To me it means they're financially beholden to selling a lifestyle, not utilitarian machines.

Scientists! Our planet needs your voice! I beg you to join me, Chris Packham & 100+ scientists on May 13th in a peaceful gathering in Parliament Sq, to put pressure on the government to be informed by - & ACT ON - science. tinyurl.com/Scientists2025 Pls help spread the word #BringScienceToPolitics

#inspiring: the laws of physics have announced they're switching off the greenhouse effect because humans stopped talking about climate change

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

it is fine to drive your Ford F-150 to buy groceries

All referees should be bald

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations. Reform are NOT for ordinary people. They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

I'm on at the glorious @machcomedyfest.bsky.social in about an hour. Come along if you're there!

Hugely proud of @scientistsx.bsky.social on the launch of their new book #ScientistsOnSurvival Personal Stories of Climate Action. This is a deeply moving and inspiring book that everyone needs to read -every chapter left me in tears or with goosebumps. Read more: www.scientistsforxr.earth/our-book

Blair saying we need to be "pragmatic" and then saying that means nuclear and CCUS shows he knows the square root of F All about economics of climate change

It was a joy to attend the Climate Content Day at the Zurich University of the Arts and speak about widening communication and participation in the climate discussion, and how to speak authentically on the topic.

The real costs of climate-related damages by fossil fuel companies may be impossible to calculate, but the picture is getting clearer: According to new study, Chevron alone caused between US $791 billion and $3.6 trillion in heat-related losses over the period 1991–2020.
