We don’t talk enough about how much wetter our future is going to be 😢

When it rains, it now rains more. For those experiencing the flooding in south-west England, it is worth remembering that rainfall in winter has increased by about 25% overall. And, the rainfall has also become more intense: when it rains, it now rains more, increasing the risk of flooding.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

Wind and solar power generation growth in China last year was roughly equal to the total power generation of France or Texas, and covered all of the growth in China's electricity use, even as demand grew at over 5%.

The airspace above the North Atlantic is dominated by long-haul flights, which accounted for 40% of contrail warming but only 10% of European departures in 2019. Small route adjustments to avoid the atmospheric regions where contrails form would significantly reduce contrail formation. 4/

This map by @xruiztru shows which nations control the North Pole? The increasing yearlong accessibility makes the region geopolitically more interesting. The US seems to think that having an ally control Greenland isn't good enough anymore.

“'The extreme uncertainty in the load forecasts based on uncertainty about the addition of large data center loads is also unique and unprecedented and raises questions about the meaning of clearing a capacity auction based on those forecasts,' Monitoring Analytics said."

The US stands alone in dismissing the problem of climate change.

As @glenpeters.bsky.social says, we're way off target for any 1.5°C scenario. To see how far off, each of the red/green bars represents the decrease in CO₂ emissions during COVID. Even if we achieved that from now until the end of 2030, we would still miss our 1.5°C target by a significant margin.

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024. This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year. If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.

What another fun news day on planet earth.

NEW: Aviation taxes, charges and fees have a limited impact on passenger numbers. Instead, aviation demand is primarily driven by airline strategies and travel trends. But airlines claim national taxes, fees and charges to address the climate impact of aviation are driving passengers away. 🧵⤵️

NEW from us: current clean energy targets and trends enable China, India, and Indonesia to peak power sector emissions by 2030. This would be a global breakthrough given that these nations have been the largest growth markets for coal in the decade since the Paris Agreement. bsky.app/profile/crea...
