Heat pumps! ✨ This engineering marvel uses electricity to efficiently move heat from one place to another. It reduces the need to use polluting fuels like oil and natural gas for heating and less efficient air conditioners for cooling. Learn more! 👉 https://drawdown.org/explorer/use-heat-pumps

I think heat pumps are a far more important technology than AI. Yep. You heard me.

There is no such thing as truly “clean” coal.

Trump's betting big on "clean" coal to meet America's energy demand. Don't be fooled by the rebrand—it's the same coal we've burned for centuries, just with steps to capture some pollution. So what are the real alternatives? Project Drawdown's Jason Lam breaks it down 👉 https://bit.ly/4tGAWjM

Very proud that Project Drawdown scientists contributed to this effort to map greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Important work! This helps us highlight where the biggest problems are, and where we need to focus our solutions work. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Zeldin thinks the endangerment finding "strangled" the U.S. automotive industry, as if BYD isn't the fastest-growing car company in the world

While others are stepping back on climate, Project Drawdown is stepping up! We’re proud to announce the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship to support U.S.-based Ph.D.-level scientists & engineers focused on climate solutions for the public good. drawdown.org/news/project...

NEW ANALYSIS: Donald Trump has overseen more coal closures than any other US president That must be why he was just crowned "undisputed champion of beautiful clean coal” (10/10 no notes, I am not making this up) www.carbonbrief.org/...

It's remarkable how much our lack of progress as a country (beyond a soaring stock market that does nothing for the vast majority of people) can be summarized in one chart

Meanwhile, the United States continues to dig its own economic grave to line the pockets of fossil fuel executives...

NEW ANALYSIS: China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months * Down in 2025 * Still below Mar 2024 * Clean energy wave a key factor If this is China's peak (TBC) it's the climate story of the century so far… www.carbonbrief.org/...

What is your why when it comes to climate change? We'd love to know!

"Clean Coal" is a joke. Here's why. drawdown.org/insights/%E2...

Methane emissions account for about 1/3 of the warming we're seeing on Earth today, yet they receive far too little attention. And the majority of our methane emissions come from our food system. We need to fix our food system to really stop climate change.

Emergency brake solutions have an outsized impact on near-term warming, with the potential to reduce emissions by as much as a third. Any guesses as to what percent of climate stories across three leading publications focus on those solutions? Register for my upcoming webinar to find out!

Amsterdam will ban fossil fuel and meat advertisements in public spaces and on public transport starting May 1st. 🥳

We can build a world where being in a gambling ad is just as cringe as being in a crypto ad was a few super bowls ago. NFT, crypto, sports betting, polymarket. It's all the same grift, and everyone associated with it deserves unending mockery at the very least.

Many people think that eating insects could be a good solution to climate change. Nope. Not really. Read more here, and see why Project Drawdown says this is "Not Recommended" as a climate solution. drawdown.org/explorer/dep...

When you build an unprecedented amount of renewable energy but it gets used to meet new data centre demand instead of replacing fossil fuels

Does anyone know where I can order a few thousand tiny violins for a counterprotest?

We often hear about the "hard-to-abate" emissions — especially from cement, steel, aviation... Sometimes these are used to justify crazy carbon removal schemes. But as Sarah Gleeson at Project Drawdown points out, "hard-to-abate" doesn't mean "impossible-to-abate"... drawdown.org/insights/wha...

Recycling ♻️ is a mechanical process that repurposes waste into new products without altering their chemical structure. Recycling metal, glass, paper, and plastic currently reduces GHGs by over 1 Gt CO2-eq per year. To learn more 👉 https://bit.ly/497W74u

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Methane has caused roughly 1/3 of our warming to date. Most of it comes from our food system. And we need to fix this.

Beef has a huge environmental cost. And the only real fix is to consume less of it. drawdown.org/insights/gre...

Methane has driven about one-third of warming to date 🔥 and is far more potent than CO₂ in the short term. Learn about solutions in latest Insights piece from Emily Cassidy, Research Associate and Paul West, Senior Scientist: https://bit.ly/3NqBEkx @enviroem.bsky.social @paul-west.bsky.social

Around the world, costs of living have soared. We know that climate solutions save money in the long run, but are there any that offer immediate relief w/o upfront cost? 💸 Our team of experts provided a comprehensive list of solutions that cover food, transportation, and the home. #affordability

As Bill Gates recommends a “strategic pivot” away from climate change, the Gates Foundation made record investments in fossil fuel companies in 2024, despite its 2019 pledge to divest. No one should ever listen to Gates about climate change again.

Odd title framing, given that this study (and article) is about meat being taxed at the same rate as other food items. It's not a 'meat tax'; it's tax equity and the removal of harmful subsidies.

More of this, please! Character-driven, place-based stories showing how clean energy builds resilience and cuts costs in the communities that need it most. @canarymedia.com does this exceptionally well

Three facts: - Methane has caused ~30% of the warming we have seen so far. - Curbing methane emissions is also one of the fastest ways to bend the curve on future warming. It’s a “emergency brake”. - And the food system emits over half of global methane emissions. drawdown.org/insights/we-...

Good reminder that the 'war on science' is largely coming from those in power, not the people

3D PRINTED VUVUZELAS. Minnesota, you know what to do www.printables.com/model/441398...

Do you know about gelatinous salps? No? Trust us, you probably want to: www.biographic.com/pelagic-pack...

Carbon capture on fossil fuel plants is NOT a climate solution as @projectdrawdown.bsky.social explains on the Drawdown Explorer

if you think ai and water use is a giant problem, i have a bunch of stats about the ag sector to show you

How do we know what actually works when it comes to climate solutions? Check out how Project Drawdown evaluates solutions at the link: https://bit.ly/4plqDyS

Of all the weird and wonderful critters in our mysterious ocean, gelatinous salps and their miraculously camouflaged hitchhikers are definitely some of my new favorites after writing this @biographic.bsky.social spotlight!

Excellent reporting by @afreedma.bsky.social showing, yet again, that personal vendettas are a leading driver of decision-making for this administration

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans. New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:

Between this and the NYT Harold Hamm piece, it's been a big week for revealing the wealthy invisible hands trying to bend American energy policy to their whims

I had been dreading the treaty anniversary as an occasion to note that we have not done nearly enough, but in July I thought we might be able celebrate it. Because, on 23 July, the international court of justice handed down an epochal ruling....

ICYMI Here’s your Friday long read: My in-depth profile story of David Stevenson, the man who crushed America’s offshore wind industry. Thanks to @motherjones.com for republishing. 🙏

If you haven't heard of salps but, like me, love bizarre ocean creatures, I highly recommend this @biographic.bsky.social piece from @sarahmilligan.bsky.social

If your response to a snowball is mace, you should absolutely not be trusted with a loaded weapon

Fascinating read, but also...any decent fact checker would have prevented these articles from being published in the first place. Editors, be warned, fact-checking is more essential than ever in the AI era.
