This hothouse earth will quickly break tipping points into 4C and 5C. That's civilisation's end game, and we're bang on track for it. How will you live your life in these last moments? In community and resistance or individual nihilism? That's the choice.
Sicily, today. A reminder that #climate system is indifferent to politics, negotiations & diplomacy and knows no geographical boundaries.
We're all in this together. There's no time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#cop29
No wind and solar do not result in more power outages.
Here's the data for Germany:
Wind + solar had a share of 33% of electricity in 2022.
➡️But there were 43% FEWER interruptions than in 2006 when wind + solar contributed only 5%.
In 2012 a terrifying incident was captured on video when a Chinese bus driver, Wu Bin, 48, was struck by a piece of iron debris that violently pierced through the windshield.
Despite the severe pain and shock, Wu Bin demonstrated remarkable composure, managing to brake, shift gears, activate the hazard lights, and instruct his passengers to remain on board, avoiding the dangers of exiting onto the highway.
The footage ends with Wu Bin standing, appearing to be relatively unscathed. However, despite receiving medical attention, he tragically succumbed to his injuries four days later.
The more we heat up the atmosphere and the oceans, the more stunning rainfall extremes we will see. It’s physics. Climate scientists have warned of this for more than three decades.
You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food?
Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local. Transport emissions are very small for most food products.
Batteries are now playing a huge role in some energy systems around the world.
Look at California - not long ago you wouldn’t even be able to see the contribution from batteries. Few expected batteries to ever be able to compete.
Today instead of fossil fuel generation batteries discharge stored renewable electricity.
Be prepared for much more to come.
excited to announce ill be dropping an incredible body of work/ joint project w @rsrchbaby, and it's titled
'Larger than Life'

Make no mistake: if the #AMOC even starts to collapse, the #UK, #Ireland, and #Scandinavia will be in a deep freeze. This map compares latitudes of the United States and Canada with Europe. These locations are at high risk when it comes to AMOC vulnerability. #ClimateCrisis
It’s not just the flooding itself that’s a problem. It’s the fact that when it keeps happening offices and homes become uninsurable. When that happens in enough places the insurance industry as a whole will not be able to cope. That means people stand to lose everything.
The world's grid-scale battery storage capacity grew by 120.8% from 2022 to 2023, which puts us on track to reach the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s target of 1300 GW of battery storage by 2030.
China now has nearly half the world's battery storage capacity, growing 249.1% from 2022-2023. The U.S. comes in second place with 28.3% of the world's capacity, which grew by 70% from the previous year.
Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: https://t.co/uBmJhBX3Xd That's $19.2 billion per day,
$799 million per hour,
$13.3 million every minute.
The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy
Weve been trying to tell you for years that this is what is coming - happening on a smallish scale in Valencia now which will hopefully not get worse, but this can happen anywhere and will get worse and worse as the planet heats - when people cant buy food they steal from shops, and if they cant steal from shops they break in and steal from homes, and if they can't get what they want from homes, they rape and kill. There is countless examples of historic precedent. It is what happens when desperate people can't get food, as we know is coming. We are in an unprecedented planetary emergency.
Good morning with good news: EV sales are skyrocketing in Thailand, Vietnam and Costa Rica and parts of the Global South!
