Give all these places trams post haste

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

Unless they’re tracking Chinese clean tech export data - which I think only Ember does consistently? - all the energy scenarios models etc are just plain wrong.

Schlussfolgerung: Eine Demokratisierung der Klimaanpassungspolitik ist dringend notwendig – aber nur möglich, wenn diese Fragen breiter diskutiert werden. Das als Anregung auch an alle Medienschaffenden: Schaut euch mal an, was in der #DAS2024 alles nicht zusammenpasst. 11/12

With the @re-publica.com coming up next week in Berlin, I have to share this wonderful banner stolen from their website.

Over the course of a single month, China's solar exports have *doubled*. China is the uncontested winner of this hopelessly idiotic war.

Erneuerbare sind Klimaschutz und Wirtschaftsmotor: Laut IÖW könnten Regionen ihre Einnahmen bis 2033 von 5,5 auf 12,4 Mrd. € jährlich steigern. Mehr Wind & Solar heißt mehr Jobs, Wertschöpfung und kommunale Spielräume vor Ort. www.ioew.de/news/article...

On Earth day there should be only one topic: The biophysical Earth system is now in the process of cascading collapse that will happen fast and destroy the living conditions on Earth for complex life! #Earth #climate

Seit 2006 gibt es 14 % weniger Straftaten. Im gleichen Zeitraum gab es aber 108 % mehr Ausländer. Deutschland wird immer sicherer. Die AfD will nicht, dass die Menschen das wissen.

„…das Wirtschaftsministerium hält an einem Ausschreibungsdesign fest, das genau das [ein paar Batterieapeicher für grünen Strom] verhindern soll.“ 🤨

Prediction markets are presented as real-time measures of probable outcomes driven by collective investment. Which is what horse racing odds are, and we don’t treat those as more than a novelty. Gift link: www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

If a 600-ton excavator can be converted from diesel to electric, pretty much anything can. And thanks to Dementia Don and the oil crooks pulling his strings, the world is now - finally - scrambling to break decisively with fossil fuels. electrek.co/2026/04/18/m...

Is that bad? Seems bad

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020. She missed these trials by a few months. One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here. I feel such a hole inside. In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

Pretty flawless analysis here.

I'm bad at math, is 90% a lot?

The climate scenario RCP 8.5 is unfairly understood as "misleading," "controversial," or deceptive. This is unfortunate, write @madisoncondon.bsky.social and @vsrikrish.bsky.social — even if its predicted emissions are unlikely, it's incredibly useful for all kinds of climate modeling

Gerade diese Komplexität macht den Emissionshandel für die fossile Lobby so attraktiv: Immer predigen, dass es fürs Klima nur diesen "einfachen" Marktmechanismus braucht - und dann im Verborgenen an tausend obskuren Stellschrauben drehen, um ihn möglichst harmlos fürs fossile Geschäft zu halten. 6/8

I anticipated that the energy transition would not go smoothly but I seriously underestimated just how stupid it would be

A year after this tweet, the wide scientific community said the same in English, rather than French. The scientific process takes time, which we don't have.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Microsoft bought 93% of all the carbon removal credits globally last year. This is absurd, and no way to determine which method might actually work and scale. Carbon dioxide removal research and development should be government-funded and government-led.

Really need to look into this one later

"Hier wurde ein Instrument erprobt, das funktioniert – wissenschaftlich evaluiert, von den Teilnehmern als bereichernd erlebt, von der Bevölkerung mehrheitlich befürwortet. Aber konservative Spitzenpolitiker räumten es weg, weil es unbequem war."

I don’t know. If it looks like a 🦆, swims like a 🦆, and quacks like a 🦆, then it probably is a 🦆ing concentration camp.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Omg my favorite economist is on bluesky! Follow this man!

DerStandard berichtet vorab über unsere Studie: Budgetkonsolidierung dämpft Wachstum und erhöht Ungleichheit. Bremseffekte sind in Rezessionen stärker. Österreich konsolidiert in Erholung; Effekte sind bislang mild. Weitere Maßnahmen sollten negative Verteilungs- und Beschäftigungseffekte minimieren

Be very afraid El Nino and aerosol reduction may be partly to blame, but it looks as if dissipating cloud cover might be a serious driver If it is, and cloud cover continues to break up, then we are in even deeper, deep, deep sh*t

In what is arguably the World's Best News, it looks like India is going to spend much less time in the "fossil fuel detour" than the US or China. It is moving much more directly to clean electrification. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum is an energy systems expert. She is positioning Mexico to participate in the global green economy —from EVs & batteries to Renewables,Critical minerals,HVAC manufacturing. Her Plan Mexico is at a critical juncture.

Katie Miller citing @carbonbrief.org was definitely not on my 2026 bingo card... 🫠

Ich staune ziemlich, wie viele intelligente Menschen hier gerade ernsthaft behaupten (oder implizieren), die Wirtschaftsministerin hätte absichtlich für Gasknappheit gesorgt, damit die Preise steigen und die Produzenten mehr verdienen. (1/6)

The Remaining Carbon Budget (RCB) varies with different temperature levels & probabilities, based on Forster et al 2025 (calculation via @robinlamboll.bsky.social). Though, the variation in the RCB due to non-CO2 emissions spans 1.5°C-1.7°C & many likelihoods. essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/...

Based on these NASA CERES and geodetic (=gravity) satellites based observations and comparison to CMIP6 models, I think @simonoxfphys.com falsely portrayed 3°C as an 'intentionally scaring, illegitimate 'doomer' scenario'. It's a substantial risk, which we have the (moral) obligation to communicate

Recent assessments have found the last glacial maximum implies a climate sensitivity of 2.4C (1.4C to 5.0C): www.science.org/doi/... And the Pliocene implies a sensitivity of 3.1C (2.3C to 4.7C): www.pnas.org/doi/10.... Paleoclimate evidence generally provides the strongest constraint on high ECS.

Great framing here, no notes

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

A positive step for industrial decarbonisation: Rondo Energy and Covestro are building a 100 MWh heat battery in Germany, showing how surplus renewable electricity can be turned into clean industrial heat. interestingengineering.com/energy/rondo...

Contrails are forming a blanket around the globe – trapping in heat and adding additional warming to the planet. The good news? Targeting a small number of flights to avoid contrail in certain regions could be an easy climate win 🏆 Read our new report for more ➡️ bit.ly/4pQbKnM

This timeline increasingly feels like a tv show. Not sure yet if it's a comedy

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

NEW RESEARCH: Large-scale heat pumps could supply up to 60% of Germany’s district heating by 2045. New EWI Cologne analysis shows capacity rising sixfold by 2030, a shift to water and wastewater, and real-world costs still above many estimates. www.ewi.uni-koeln.de/de/publikati...

Just a few things I'd like to say about this @hausfath.bsky.social piece. The first is that every 10th of a degree of heating over 2C raises risks for multiple irreversible catastrophes MORE than every 10th of a degree of heating under 2C. That's why the 2C target exists. It's not random. 🧵

Hausfather notes that some mitigation models have fossil gas rising for another 15 yrs before declining precipitously. The third thing I want to say, since he doesn't mention this, is that these models also model cheap carbon dioxide removal at global, many-gigaton scales later this century. 5/n
