Climate change is the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced. I tweet about news, stats, warnings and views on the climate crisis.

@ENERGY The USDofE has gone completely insane.

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

Flash flood in #Atlanta after heavy rain. Cars stuck on connector road. Waymo robotaxis halted. Clogged drains after weeks of dry weather. More rain on the way.
Flash flooding and drought are becoming more likely due to #ClimateChange. Act now to limit warming!

[Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK @PIK_Climate]

NEW in @NatureClimate: Investing before 2030 to pivot away from coal in #steel production is now 53% cheaper than what it would cost to reduce the same amount of emissions later on in other parts of the economy or through carbon removals.

@KrischkeBen Weil wir’s jahrzehntelang verschleppt haben.

#Rainforest threatened by warming El Niño later this year. Expect severe forest fires. 43,000 sq km of old-growth tropical forests lost globally 2025 (size of Denmark). 2026 could be even worse. Scientists warn of fast loss of Earth's most important ecosystems. #ClimateCrisis

@ENERGY @SecretaryWright Does the US Department of Energy have any understanding of climate change?

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

Severe drought in USA. 60% of land affected. Public asked to conserve water in NC amidst record rain deficit. Georgia wildfires destroy more than 100 homes. Oregon snowpack low after warmest winter in 90 years. Hoover Dam’s power projected to drop 40% this year. #ClimateCrisis

@KathrynPorter26 You do understand that if we continue with oil and gas, civilisation will end? Or do you deny that?

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

@ENERGY Goebbels would be impressed by this sort of perverted spin.

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

@MPIainDS Britain has NOT purses net zero at any cost. Fossil fuel industry’s donations to your party have made sure of that. You’re old. You don’t care that our kids may live through societal and environment collapse by 2050 or whatever. You’ll be dead. But deeply reprehensible.

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

@simonmaechling nonsense. France is struggling too. The problem of storing the waste is unsolved. The infrastructure is aging and takes multiple decades to replace at exorbitant costs.

[Leon Simons 🌍 @LeonSimons8]

The next two years will make the 2023-2024 El Niño look like a walk in the park.

We'll get a first glance into how resilient humanity is to a post ΔT +1.5°C world.

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

@MelJStride What’s absolute lunacy is that there are STILL people with this attitude in 2026. we’re facing environmental and societal collapse here! What good is tax revenue in a world without civilisation as we know it. Leave it in the ground!

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

Sydney hit by dangerous coastal storm. 15m swell biggest in 100 years. Flights grounded. Metro affected. 1000s without power. Gusts up to 130km/h. Freezing temperatures. #ClimateChange makes such 1 in 100 year extremes more likely. Impact soon beyond ability to adapt. Act now!

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

@mr_james_c Source? Grok is not a source.

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

The record-breaking Western US heatwave coincides with record-breaking rain over Hawaii. Water vapour evaporation releases energy. Increase in co-occurrence of heat-domes and downpours as predicted - because science works. https://t.co/n08mYD1t04 #ListenToTheScience #ActOnClimate

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

Record-breaking heat swelters the US West Coast. Temperatures soaring into triple digits. Health & fire hazard. Low snow pack threatens water supply. #ClimateChange interacts with local factors to load the dice for weather extremes. We have very little time left. Act on climate!

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

@ClaireCoutinho Abandon nuclear! I want to live in a society that runs on renewables. Cheap, safe, sustainable.

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

@AllisonPearson @Ed_Miliband You do understand that climate change is an existential threat?

[Richard @ClimateConnex]

@thinkBTO Hätte, hätte. Vielleicht wär 2022 das AKW Biblis nach einem Unfall in die Luft geflogen. Dann würden sie hier ganz andere Töne singen. Vorwärts schauen!
