Yes, calling a liquid "gas" used to bug me no end. Then I discovered that it ought actually to be "caz," not "gas." It's based on a trade name. A thread... 1/6

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

I love adding "Happy new year!" to emails in January. Even, or perhaps especially, this year with all kinds of strange and dark stuff going on in the big world out there.

Wednesday, even. Your Wednesday. 🙄

So how's your Tuesday going? I started mine out by knocking an entire urn of coffee over when trying to wheel a trolley a bit closer to my course participants. 5L of coffee all over the nice wooden floor. My frozen smile:

These missions' weakness is that many struggle to articulate how strategies for tackling societal issues will directly translate into urgent, immediate GHG reduction, or how they'll double the effect tomorrow. GHGs have a time value: 1 ton/year displaced today is far better than next year.

🤔 Have you ever wondered "What do we actually know about legume consumption and liver/gallbladder health?" 🫘👩‍⚕️ No?

Can Bluesky say every word in the dictionary? I dunno but I plan to find out! I made a website that tracks every single word said on bluesky (as of yesterday).

Some cities run on solar 95% of the time – cheaper than coal. With falling battery prices (-40% in a year), solar can run almost 24/7 in the sunniest cities. And 60% of the time in cloudy ones. This isn’t theory. It’s already happening. @carbonbrief.org

Jeg har strikket til mine døtre. DESVÆRRE har Sigrid (hende med hættetrøjen) mistet sin på baren Osborne på Nørrebro i København i fredags. Hun vil blive mega glad (og også moren, der så ikke skal strikke en ny 😌) hvis den dukker op igen. Vil I dele?
