Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

According Dr. Robert Atlas, the elimination of NOAA's AOML as proposed in their 2026 budget would result in a 20-40% decrease in hurricane forecast accuracy, costing the economy an estimated $10 billion each hurricane season. Sobering numbers on what's at stake.

Never fails to make me smile 😀🩸

To be clear, the centre ground on net zero is that the public are broadly supportive - even if there is some conditionality to that support. The idea that net zero is a source of significant electoral discomfort for Labour is a zombie political fact.

📉 In 2023, 81% of newly commissioned utility-scale #renewables outperformed fossil fuels on cost — that's 382 GW of cleaner, cheaper power. Since 2000, global renewable deployment has slashed $409 bn in power sector fuel costs. Learn more: www.irena.org/Publications...

We've figured out why our Sierra Leone solar vid has so few views. YouTube shadow-banned it as political content. We only found out because, in desperation, we tried to promote it. Apparently saving babies' lives is political in the US today. We have appealed, but WTAF! youtube.com/watch?v=yMxJ...

In Brussels for the #EuropeanClimatePact session with Wopke Hoekstra, European Commissioner for Climate Action. Big focus on European competitiveness - need to double down on breaking the link between economic activity and impacts on the climate, and give policy certainty for investment.

While Kemi Badenoch has branded net zero by 2050 "impossible", 61% of Britons and 52% of Tory voters say they support the commitment - although this figure has fallen in recent years Support: 61% (-10 from Jul 2023) Oppose: 24% (+8) yougov.co.uk/topics/polit...

Heather burning in Saddleworth today - exposes valuable peat resources to erosion with marginal protection from summer moorland fires from regrowth. Not the answer to climate change!

I’m going tomorrow. Giving blood in the uk is great 1) you collect points for pints and I’m never going to get airline status but dammit I’m getting silver on blood 2) they have club biscuits? 3) Greatest Hits Radio on full volume 4) You get a google map of where your blood goes 5) helping people??

We’re seeing the effects of climate change in all parts of the world - floods, droughts, wildfires - climate risks are growing faster than mitigation and adaptation action. We urgently need to focus on rapid reduction in GHG emissions www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very timely study published today on the increase in whiplash climate events as a result of global heating. These are rapid transitions from drought to flood and vice versa. They’ve already increased by 50% and projected to double in future. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Hi pals. Today I wrote about the unsettling mismatches between what climate models say should be happening and what is actually happening. We're pushing the Earth past the limits of our physical understanding. This is a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Found this an interesting read on how regulation has increased the cost of new cars. As I've been boring on for a while, think the rise of the regulatory state since the 1990s is the biggest change in life not many people discuss. martinrobbins.substack.com/p/britains-c...

Lots of standing water and ice this morning!

Amazing views if you managed to get above the gloomy mist today!

Beautiful way to start the day, don’t you just love #nature 😀

🌱 A new report from the #IPBES, often described as the ‘IPCC for Biodiversity’ says that five global crises in biodiversity, water, food, health and climate change are all interconnected Here, experts from #westernsydneyuni #ANU respond

A reminder that #ClimateRisks are increasing faster than our action to adapt to #ClimateChange. Communities and businesses are becoming more #vulnerable and less #resilient to significant #ClimateImpacts - we need to rapidly invest in #ClimateAdaptation. www.gov.uk/government/n...
