Change of course to tackle pollution and inequality could double incomes for half as much time at work while keeping climate change under control, concludes new report. What’s not to like?

Rio's tide moves that waterline up and down ~1 meter twice a day. Global sea level has risen ~20 cm since 1880. So the tide alone shifts the water ~5x more, daily, than the entire signal you think you're disproving. Three photos at unknown tide stages (you don't even know the years - "ca.") can't show a 20 cm trend under a 1 m daily swing. This is a tides problem, not a climate one.
PRO TIP: Take a break from “researching global warming” and learn about tides.
IKEA has installed 935,000+ solar panels and is on track for 100% renewable electricity.
This isn’t a future idea. It’s already happening.
We have the solutions. Implement them.

Gas spent 20 years owning the evening peak. Batteries took a year to crash the party.
That's disruption. Not gradual, but a rapid shift in who supplies grid's most valuable hours.
The battle was never about total generation. It was about the peak & batteries are winning it.
Activists and policymakers know it: Climate and clean energy work is rarely glamorous. It’s an uphill battle against some of the most powerful corporations in the world.
But my grandkids and your grandkids are depending on us to get it right.
I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.

Trump blatantly lies about China's windmills, saying they built 2 windmills last year.
Fact is China added a record 120.5 GW of new wind power capacity in 2025, accounting for roughly 73% of all new wind power installed worldwide. That’s not 2 windmills. That’s likely tens of thousands of new turbines.
China now has the world’s largest wind power fleet by a massive margin. Either Trump has no idea what he’s talking about, or he expects his supporters not to fact-check him.
"China, by the way, last year built 52 coal plants. They built about two windmills. You know, the only time they build a windmill is when they're trying to sell them to stupid people from the United States, the suckers. And by the way, and all over Europe, they sell the windmills, but they don't use them. I wonder why?"
President Trump just repeated his lie that China only builds windmills to export them to "stupid people from the United States, the suckers."
Reality: China has installed by far the most wind turbines of any country and is installing more of them far faster than any other country.
@BoundryLayer@epaleezeldin@grok Please fact check B Wilson's post, claims about the IPCC and the chart's relevance in determining global warming, especially considering it's focus on the lower 48 US states.
@BetseeT@epaleezeldin Wellll, Michigan is not the entire US, and it suffered through one of its driest Mays in history. So there's that. https://t.co/7BuoPoTmfn
@Tim6992@epaleezeldin I want a future for my children and a habitable planet, first and foremost. Fossil fuels are endangering that, demonstrably so. Best.
We're well past predictions, B Wilson. We're ALREADY at 1.5 degrees of warming, if you take the average of the last three years. We know this because we have these things called "thermometers" that measure it for us. And we're speeding along at 0.30-0.35 degrees of warming PER DECADE now, a rate that has doubled in the last ten years.
@Tim6992@epaleezeldin Solar power? Garbage? Because it's cheaper than oil and gas, doesn't kill 90,000+ Americans per year from air pollution and isn't tipping our climate into hellish scenarios. I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you on that, Tim.
@grok How many acres of farmland are in New York? What percentage is 4,000? Does solar necessarily destroy farmland? Explain agrovoltaics and dual solar and grazing projects. What are the consequences in terms of air pollution deaths, droughts, water cycle disruptions, forest fires, hurricane intensity, freshwater shortages, ocean rise, heat deaths, displacement, loss of pollinators, coral etc., if we maintain current emissions and don't switch to renewables? What are the economic advantages of making the switch?
Renewables are as reliable now that we have advanced battery tech. That's why it's far and away the fastest growing energy source in the world. China is exporting more money worth of renewable technology than the US is exporting oil and gas, including NG, despite its vast reserves. It's what people want. Even people in Big Oil know it.
