NEW – Q&A: The current state of ‘carbon dioxide removal’ around the world | @daisydunne.carbonbrief.org @giulianaviglione.bsky.social @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social Read here: buff.ly/lc8WJob

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

This is one of the most insane things I’ve seen from this regime. Please read this excellent summary and comment in the federal registry. 🧪🌊

Santa Marta: Key outcomes from first summit on ‘transitioning away’ from fossil fuels ✍️ @daisydunne.carbonbrief.org Read here ⬇️

Huge Pacific Heatwave - larger than North America - with record heat spanning 6,000 miles across, peaking in the East Pacific. The highest anomalies are near the Galápagos Islands, a clear sign a mighty El Niño is beginning. 1/

Europe's electricity: 29% fossil fuels in 2024, down from 53% in 2005. Progress. But transport is still 92% fossil. Buildings: 71%. Industry: 61%. And 95% of EU oil and 88% of gas imported. Switching suppliers doesn't fix this. Electrification and efficiency do. More here: rdcu.be/feOjc

Clean energy pushes fossil-fuel power into reverse for ‘first time ever’ | @mollylempriere.carbonbrief.org @ember-energy.org Read here: buff.ly/XtaYP1D

In 2025, renewables overtook coal in global electricity generation for the first time in over 100 years. Renewables: 33.8% Coal: 33.0% Coal fell below a third of global electricity generation for the first time in history.

Reporting what doesn’t work in #CDR matters too - here we explain why soil CO₂ flux measurements do not work for enhanced weathering #EW. Key issue: biological (organic carbon) fluxes dwarf the EW signal, and shared drivers (pH, moisture) obscure attribution. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

We are many to work on the IPCC 2027 Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CDRT-CCUS). Great responsibility, many challenges ahead, and a fantastic team to work with!

Bad news - we'll soon blow through the carbon budget for stabilizing global temperature at 1.5C Good news - progress on clean energy suggests it is possible to stabilize by 2C www.nature.com/articles/s41... What does the science say? Neither is a magic threshold. Every bit of warming matters.

Transitioning to a net-zero world is one of humanity's greatest challenges. Here are some ways we can reduce carbon emissions and achieve net-zero: www.un.org/en/climatech...

New #enhancedweathering paper: Cation tracing reveals substantial weathering but no inorganic C sequestration. While inorganic C storage may lag behind, secondary reactions & cation retention may support soil organic C stabilization. #CDR @arthurvienne.bsky.social soil.copernicus.org/articles/12/...

More than 150 experts are gathered in Rome, Italy this week to begin work on IPCC's Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, Carbon Capture, Utilization, & Storage. The author meeting is being held at FAO HQ & runs from 14 to 16 April 2026. Read more 🔗https://lnkd.in/gaVjwG3Q

Here is what the journal Nature has to say about our paper on the increasing rate of #globalwarming: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The US government has agreed to pay TotalEnergies $928 million to cancel its offshore wind leases and redirect the money to oil and gas instead. This is happening during the worst global energy crisis (per IEA) in history and as rising prices put huge pressure on households and businesses.

De N-VA wil #ETS2 uitstellen omdat energie duur is. Dat klinkt redelijk, maar het is de verkeerde knop. De grootste scheeftrekking zit niet in Europa, maar in onze eigen energiefactuur. Vandaag in @demorgen.be : www.demorgen.be/meningen/wie...

I was interviewed by @aljazeera.com on impacts energy crisis. We discussed Europe’s structural vulnerability due to fossil fuel imports, broader economic effects of price volatility & why this moment should sharpen focus on clean energy. youtube.com/watch?v=umHj0vNEsiw&feature=youtu.be

We’re not moving fast enough to keep climate change within safe limits. 👉EU climate advisers warn Europe should prepare for ~3°C of global warming this century. Adaptation is still too slow as heatwaves, floods and wildfires intensify. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies. It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

Higher Inorganic CO2 Removal Despite Slower Weathering in an Enhanced Weathering Experiment With Steel Slags and Basalt 🔗 buff.ly/E5ffuo7

Thomas Oudman interviewde mij voor @decorrespondent.nl naar aanleiding van dit stuk dat ik eerder schreef op @klimaatveranda.bsky.social klimaatveranda.nl/2025/11/24/k...

Very interesting list of parallels between the Trump administration's path and Germany's path in the 1930s. www.instagram.com/reel/DTaQynR...

I am a climate scientist and this is correct. As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open. Technical explanation here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

NEW | Wind and solar overtake fossil fuels in the EU power sector 🇪🇺⚡️ Our @ember-energy.org European Electricity Review is out today, showing wind and solar reaching 30% of EU power, compared to 29% for fossil fuels. Here's what happened in EU electricity generation in 2025 🧵

New paper out! Experiment combining #mineralcarbonation & #enhancedweathering in soil. Despite near-complete slag weathering, most base cations ended up in soil sinks (e.g. clays). Result: very low CO₂ removal (<5%) More weathering ≠ more CO₂ removal #CDR onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

How much carbon budget do we have left if we want to stay below 1.5˚C? Just 2 more years at current rates. It is essentially impossible to avoid global temperature rise exceeding 1.5˚C. climatelabbook.substack.com/p/the-shrink...

1) Fossil fuel Still no peak. Emissions are projected to increase by 1.1% in 2025, reaching 38.1 GtCO2. An all time high.

Published today in Earth System Science Data: The Global Carbon Budget 2025 essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...

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.
