No foreign power has ever posed as massive and immediate a threat to the United States as the current administration.

I answered a reporter's question: "The long-term well-being of our climate system is incompatible with the short-term gains of shareholders." I stand by that statement.

You know who understands risk? Actuaries. And guess what they're saying: "... the plausible worst-case hit to global economies would be 50% in the two decades before 2090." I'm bad at budgeting, can someone tell me whether 50% is a lot?

The start of 2025 means it is precisely 25 years until net zero targets in the UK, EU, US, etc fall due. Every quarter now represents one per cent of the available time to fully decarbonise industrialised economies. Happy New Year! www.businessgreen.com/news/4392880...

As @janrosenow.bsky.social has shown, Britain's reliance on gas for heating shackles us to the fossil past and to higher bills. Getting gas out of our homes is a win-win-win and a no-brainer - but it requires robust government support.

EVs were the most popular fuel type in the UK for the first time in December, marking the end to a year in which sales of clean cars returned to very strong growth. Our full update will be in your inboxes on Monday - sign up here to make sure you get it: newautomotive.org/ecc

Britain’s biggest energy firms have warned that relaxing rules on electric vehicle targets could hit household budgets through higher energy bills and fuel costs: www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

40% of the mass of everything transported by a ship in 2023 was a fossil fuel. That stat paired with this new study shines a pretty harsh spotlight on how obscenely bad-faith the right-wing concern trolling around offshore wind + whales is www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Climate change and El Nino were the two key reasons 2023 was so record-breakingly hot. But scientists struggled to explain about 0.2C of the warming last year. A new study suggests fewer clouds may explain the puzzle. Story 👇 www.thetimes.com/article/fc28...

In 1993, major German energy suppliers ran adverts in newspapers claiming that renewable energy could only ever provide 4% to German electricity system. Fast forward to 2023 and almost 60% of German electricity comes from renewables, mainly wind and solar. www.cisl.cam.ac.uk/news/blog/wh...

@bsky.app certainly feels a lot more positive in its communications and engagement - Perhaps this is the arena to really tell the story of #electricvehicles and the huge benefits that they will have on #health and #wealth As I say; I hate cars, that’s why I love my EV. ❤️ No hassle. No pumps. 🙏🏼🔋🙏🏼

#heatpumps @dalevince.bsky.social, interested in your views as know you are a 🔋 fan, but #heatpumps not so much?

Thanks for flagging @colin-walker.bsky.social 🔋🙏🏼

@drsimevans.carbonbrief.org @colin-walker.bsky.social @adamvaughan.bsky.social we’ve all been working very hard to find some balance and sense in an argument that’s once again become very anti #electricvehicles As I said earlier, my new campaign. Hate cars? Love an EV. #ZEVmandate is working

EVs did not close the Luton factory … regardless of the bluster 🔋 Thoughts with those affected - but we can’t pin the #narrative on EVs … 🥊

Pleasure listening to @jamestfrith.bsky.social and @aaron-wade.bsky.social discussing what can be learned from 🇨🇳 dominance in the 🔋 supply chain and large scale #manufacturing - sure we need to #collaborate for success, but we also need to be thinking about how we finance the Western 🔋 industry …

Anyone at The London EV Show today? #BattChat @jamestfrith.bsky.social looking forward to seeing you, my mate 🔋🙌🏼🔋 @lizziedriscoll.bsky.social @gavindjharper.bsky.social In 🔋 We Trust

As @bennelmes.bsky.social rightly says, this is a sad day for Ford 🚗 but with the right investments in the future #energytransition economy we can transfer skills and create the jobs of the future - the #ZEVmandate is an important policy to make sure investors have certainty and clarity on 🇬🇧 plans!

Hold tight @bsky.app community - with over 20 million caring, kind, climate conscious people, including a raft of #scientists, this petition should already be signed by over 10 million? Or, something is wrong … @helenczerski.bsky.social @davidho.bsky.social petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Living with @crohnsandcolitisau.bsky.social is pretty hard work, at the best of times - but when 🇬🇧 trains are as bad as they are today - wow, I’ve had to dig deep and do some 🙏🏼💩🙏🏼 @teamlabouruk.bsky.social think we need to work a bit harder for that #change Almost 😅 home Blessed w/e people ❤️
