Thanks to @carbonbrief.org for hosting the 11th and every challenging #CBquiz. #WWF team Bamboo-zeled had a great time and are proud of our 8th place out of 39 teams. Going to swot up on European environment ministers names for next year!

The #COP30 wrap-up report from @iisd.org's excellent Earth Negotiations Bulletin. This (and Carbon Brief's summary) are what you need to read! enb.iisd.org/belem-un-cli... #ClimateChange

Woke up for last morning in Belem to see where Ministers got up to overnight at #COP30... but then the #ashes test cricket

Much improvement is needed in #COP30 draft. The roadmaps for transitioning away from fossil fuels and using deforestation are missing. A long day ahead for ministers and negotiators. wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre... #ClimateChange

Proud to be part of the People’s #Climate March with friends from WWF and tens of thousands of others in social movements and communities committed to building a fairer and more sustainable future #COP30

Insidious misinformation and disinformation around #ClimateChange sow confusion and delay #ClimateAction. This is an important development. See also Cranky Uncle to understand how science denial works... app.crankyuncle.info/home #COP30

CAT Global Update 2025 🚨 Ten years after the #ParisAgreement we see little to no measurable progress in warming projections - for the fourth consecutive year. The 2035 #NDCs have made no difference to our warming outlook. 🔗 bit.ly/CAT_Global_2...

As #COP30 kicks off in Belém’s heat and downpours, the world must #CloseTheGap on climate action - more mitigation, adaptation and finance We also need a Nature Package to safeguard forests and biodiversity - because the Amazon COP should deliver for people and planet. #ClimateAction

This is worth a read - factchecking claims (myths) about solar power #ClimateChange

🔥 ⚖️ 🌐HAPPENING NOW: Historic #ClimateJustice Ruling being delivered by the 🇺🇳 🧑‍⚖️ International Court of Justice. 🚨This ruling could signal a new dawn for climate law & accountability 📝 🧵 Live thread below with context, summary & analysis 👇 #ClimateJusticeAO #AOLetsGo

A good start to the Climate Innovation Forum as part of #LondonClimateActionWeek including telling people that #ClimateAction is happening #LCAW25 #CIF25 #ClimateChange

I'm looking forward to meeting people at #LondonClimateActionWeek Before then, read this op-ed by the mayors of London and Paris on disinformation and misinformation and the backlash to #ClimateAction www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #ClimateChange

The village of Blatten in Switzerland is partly buried by the collapse of a glacier which melted because our greenhouse gas emissions warmed the climate. Another reminder that choosing to not invest enough today to reduce emissions means far greater costs for society in the long term.

Weatherwatch: The Met Office fights back against climate misinformation The most impressive part of the Office’s misinformation ‘toolkit’ is its set of answers to climate deniers’ questions www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ma... #ClimateChange ‪@metoffice.bsky.social‬

Here it is, finally. The truth. In a landmark #greenwashing legal case brought by @parentsforclimate.bsky.social, #EnergyAustralia has publicly acknowledged that offsets do not undo the harms of burning fossil fuels & apologised to more than 400,000 customers of its carbon #offsetting product

NEW – Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time | @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social Read here: buff.ly/6eAcjRU

Unexpected - EU companies increasingly aligned with climate action “Those vocally organising to oppose the energy transition achieve outsized importance across public debate. However, there is a larger, quieter majority that are supportive of decarbonisation” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Solar energy has consistently been underestimated. Today, it adds more capacity/yr to global grid than any other source in history. If trend continues, solar will deliver more electricity generation/yr than any technology before it. Graph from @nathanielbullard.com - great newsletter

How are #heatwaves changing in #Europe? According to the European #Climate Report, 2024 saw: 🌡️ Record-breaking ‘strong heat stress’ days and tropical nights in southeastern Europe during summer 🥵 In recent decades, heat has been the leading cause of reported deaths due to extreme weather 🌍🧪⚒️🌡️🌊

Pope Francis last year on those who deny climate science: "There are people who are foolish, and even foolish if they show you them research. They don't believe it…They don't understand the situation or because of their interest, but climate change exists." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Half of world’s CO2 emissions come from 36 fossil fuel firms Coal, oil and gas are the biggest driver of #ClimateChange www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I receive numerous requests from journalists regarding the current situation with the Intergovernemental Panel on Climate Change. I am not involved in the work of the IPCC for the 7th Assessment Cycle (AR7). 1/...

Climate change will increasingly impact the ocean around Antarctica, and the life within it, as it progresses. Read the new paper by the excellent Ben Fisher and colleagues on how this will happen, what are the implications, and how we can improve our ability to predict the key changes. 🌊❄️🥼🧪

Happy Valentine's Day chocolate lovers... “excessive heat can contribute to a reduction in the quantity and quality of the harvest” Need to cut emissions and adapt #ClimateChange www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My latest on The Climate Brink: No, renewables don't need expensive backup. In fact, renewables push the most expensive fossil fuel producers out of the market, saving money for the economy. www.theclimatebrink....

NEW: Global EV sales grew 18% year-on-year in Jan 2025 Was this due to the "devastating collapse" of 21% growth in Europe? The "stalling" 12% growth in China? Maybe the "plunging" 22% rise in US/Canada? Or "faltering" 50% rest-of-world growth…? Data: Rho Motion 🤷‍♂️

In 2004, it took the world a year to add a gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day

Worth looking at this deck of trends around the world: #ClimateChange already has consequences- from coffee, panama canal drying, to 3-years rain in a day in Valencia Fossil fuel use continues to rise Wind, solar, EV investments up, but not fast enough to compensate for increasing #energy demand

This is a very strong argument in favour of climate action from @elpinchbeck.bsky.social that you don’t hear often enough. It is both conservative and progressive. www.thetimes.com/article/b729...

A beautiful Blue Dragon we spotted in a rock pool - they eat Portuguese man o' war and other similar siphonophores and absorb their stings as their own defence. The kids knew what it was from National Geographic, but I, and a long-time fisherman friend, had never heard of them!

Coal is nearing its end in the EU electricity mix 📉 10 countries were already coal-free and a further 6 countries had less than 5% coal power in 2024. Even Poland – the EU’s most coal-dependent country – saw coal power fall to 54% in 2024, down from 70% just 2 years ago. ember-energy.org/lat...

Environmental risks dominate @weforum.org Global Risks Report 2025. Extreme weather & #biodiversity loss top 10-year threats. Pollution rises in short-term urgency. 🌍 The IPBES #NexusAssessment just showed how important it is to tackle interlinked crises together. www.weforum.org/stories/2025...
