It's actually pretty simple in two charts...

Global temperature change from 1850-2023. Watch till the end.

Jesse Peltan on X has been showing this graph for a while. He says a 600W PV panel will provide 1000 kWh/year. This gets you to top of the low energy countries. I ran the numbers and this is right. 1/n

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Govt shouldn't be collecting more in HECS than PRRT revenue - but they do.

This bill could fix that but it only goes part of the way.

What is govt waiting for?

Let's prioritise 🇦🇺s. And stop giving our gas away for free.

[Bricktop_NAFO @Bricktop_NAFO]

Couldn't agree more.

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

The gas giants that export Australia's gas are meant to pay Petroleum Resources Rent Tax.

But it raises less money than students pay in HECS.

It’s time the gas industry started paying its fair share.

Renewables means less shipping
- a ship full of solar panels displaces 100 future coal shipments
- a ship of solar panels displaces 50 LNG shipments
@IEA report shows future tech has already reduced global shipping needs 10% in a decade

One solar panel the size of a sheet of plywood can generate enough electricity to lift a person out of energy poverty.

A single sheet of plywood.
That’s how much space we’re talking about.

10 sheets of plywood per person for American levels of electricity.

That’s not just household use.
That’s total electricity.
Homes, industry, everything.

[Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 @rahmstorf]

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.

[Jesse Peltan @JessePeltan]

"Electricity is only 13% of primary energy!"

Okay, but 38% of primary energy is used for…

*checks notes*

…making electricity.

Just for the record, and because it's occupied so much of my thinking these past weeks, and months, and years... I'm expecting a big @KamalaHarris win. It's the only acceptable outcome.

Ooft, UK petrol car sales fell 28% year-on-year in October 2024, with year-to-date sales down by more than 100,000

Meanwhile, strong EV sales mean the ZEV mandate "has been met", says New Automotive, which is odd bc I'm sure I've seen lots of scare stories saying it'd never happen

"When it comes to climate, the government seems to want praise for doing some right things while doing more wrong things."

@pollyjhemming hit the nail on the head at #climateintegrity Summit 2024.

The climate crisis is an integrity crisis #auspol

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

Incredible stat:

A single container ship of solar panels can provide as much electricity as more than 50 large LNG tankers of gas – or 100 large coal ships

There's many more insights in IEA Energy Technology Perspectives 2024 – here's a selection 🧵

Which countries are leading in terms of the share of electricity from renewable energy sources?

This infographic displays the percentage of electricity generation from renewable sources across the globe in 2022.

It highlights significant regional differences, with Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Lesotho, and Norway, all achieving 100% renewable power generation, while countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Libya, each generating 0% from renewables. Other notable laggards with minimal renewable power adoption are Oman, Hong Kong, Algeria, and Iran, all under 5%.
