NEW: Global fossil fuel use will peak before 2030 – unless 'stated policies' are abandoned Contra some terrible news coverage, IEA World Energy Outlook shows coal near peak, oil peaking by 2030 & gas by 2035 (see chart) What's going on? 🧵 + cool charts www.carbonbrief.org/iea-fossil-f...

An excellent email I just received. I feel like this has copypasta potential.

I think this might be the roughest month I've ever had as a climate communicator. Well, scratch that. Someone who cares about the future of life on this planet. This is just the shit cherry on top of a shit cake with shit frosting. And it's only the 17th. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Time For Ch4nge film that I narrated is up for a Shorty Award!! It's a public vote, so if you fancy getting more visibility on the important topic of methane emissions, it would be greatly appreciated <3 shortyawards.com/10th-impact/...

🚨Polluter and Cyber Elites - A lethal Alignment? This year's conference explores where the interests of the far right tech bros and major polluters coincide - and what we can do to challenge them! Join us on Wednesday 15th October, 16:00 - 18:00 BST www.tickettailor.com/events/scien... 🧪

Hit an important milestone on YouTube today

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

This year we've been really swinging for the fences. Our latest video is our biggest one yet, nearly an hour long and involving half a dozen experts. Asking "Should lying about climate change be illegal?" and, if so, how do we make it so? youtu.be/FKtCuwfUCJg

I thought this was brilliant www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

The methane film that I helped create is being shown in New York Climate week on Tuesday! www.climateweeknyc.org/events/plain...

I'm looking for a part-time research assistant to help research and fact-check long form YouTube videos, with an emphasis on climate misinformation campaigns. If you or someone you know would be a good fit, please check out this form! Applications close on 26/9. forms.gle/mpyzcdjwv63C...

Finding the EDL rally in London heartbreaking. 150,000 people - and many more online - who clearly care deeply about their country and want to do what they see as the right thing. Having their illiteracies exploited by shameless grifters promising simple solutions to complex problems. It's tragic

Causing climate change is killing us. Even if you ignore the climate change bit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaT2...

I'm sure this is entirely unrelated to Reform's anti-net zero stance www.politico.eu/article/dona...

The best thing the YouTube algorithm has served me in a long while youtu.be/Fmutyrc2os4

how it feels when you just know a politician is taking money from the fossil fuel industry but you can't prove it

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this. Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

Energy Secretary Attacks Offshore Wind and Dismisses Climate Change www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/c... We are going to all suffer because some people failed science class

By the way, if you're in the south west of England and like music you should sign up to my choir's newsletter! We send a couple of emails a year letting you know when our next concerts and workshops are: thehandful.org/newsletter

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

Writing this next video has caused legit psychic damage. So far I've had to wade through a lot of Project 2025, historical misinfo from the fossil fuel industry, human trafficking in Thailand, and a lot of AI slop. It's turned into a bit of a monster and I'm not honestly sure when it will be out 😅

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

Had fun singing evensong in St Mary Redcliffe church in Bristol today, a gorgeous 14th century building. Music by Palestrina and Gibbons* * sadly, a human composer

Hi Canada, (These graphs courtesy of @simonoxfphys.com) 3 of Canada's largest banks are in the top 12. Our banks contribute as much finance to fossil fuels as the entire EU, half as much as America. There are 40 million of us and 450/340 EU/US. This is entirely disproportionate and bad please share.

sometimes it just feels like every piece of tech you own is a printer

Forewarned is forearmed

Went to the arboretum, found King Charles.

shout out to all the people who unsubscribed because I made a video about swimming a half marathon to raise money for our local cancer hospice 👍

I did it! youtu.be/Gi0AuQo-zsM

I miss when it didn't feel like the bad guys were winning all the time

the two kinds of comments under every climate change youtube video

Me turning up to my desk this morning

Done. Final swim time: 7:02:53.

Today is the big day of the swim, and the BBC were nice enough to write an article about me and dad! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've just been made aware of the MapYourGrid initiative to map electrical grids around the world, especially in the global south, to provide better data for energy planners. They have resources teaching you how to map the grid using JOSM and an active discord. Very cool! mapyourgrid.org

Well that was deeply unpleasant The stream will feature in the video recapping the swim in a week or two! In the meantime if you laughed at my discomfort you are legally* required to donate to my fundraiser givewheel.com/fundraising/... * not legally binding

We are about to go live!! twitch.tv/drsimonclark

When I announced my half marathon swim I promised that if we raised £5,000 I would get my chest waxed on stream. Well, today we hit £27k. So at 5PM today on twitch.tv/drsimonclark I'll be in extreme discomfort. Be there, have a laugh at my pain, and please donate <3

If a scholar of petro-masculinity said that men lust for coal, it would be seen as an exaggeration. But here we are...

It's finally the week of my HALF MARATHON SWIM and I'm delighted to say we've now raised over £25,000 for Dorothy House and @cancerresearchuk.org Can we get to my target of £30k before I finish the swim on Thursday afternoon? 🔗 Fundraiser link: www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

RIP US offshore wind. US Bureau of Offshore Energy Management rescinds ALL areas designated for offshore wind energy development in federal waters. gcaptain.com/boem-rescind... 🔌💡

A week today I will (hopefully!) be finishing up my mammoth half marathon swim to raise money for my local cancer hospice and @cancerresearchuk.org! If you would like to help, please contribute at: www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

98% That's the decrease in the annual number of single-use plastic bags in the UK since a 5p charge started 10 years ago (it's now 10p) Not all environmental problems are that easy to tackle, but change is possible Resharing the Mail's 2015 splash, which has aged well www.gov.uk/government/p...

Since the spring, federal agents have been patrolling government buildings in New York City, waiting to arrest migrants as soon as they step out of a courtroom, regardless of the status of their case.

This is truly sad news. Tom Lehrer was a big musical and comedic influence on me, being introduced to his work as a young teenager. And to think, by his age Mozart had already been dead for 62 years!

Breathtaking ruling from the ICJ. Will this single handedly solve the climate crisis? Of course not. But it's a valuable new tool in the task of pushing major polluters to change their ways. www.climatechangenews.com/2025/07/23/w...
