by World Economic Forum
Today, there are more than 600,000 electric vehicles (EVs) on Norway’s roads.
Norway pledged in 2017 to end the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2025.

The world's 2nd-largest wind farm and the U.S.' largest clean, renewable electricity project begins 100% operation in New Mexico.
3.65 GW Sun Zia wind farm
550-mile transmission line
Provides power to Arizona and California
The only larger operational wind farm is the 10 GW Gansu farm, China

At risk of sounding arrogant, the #FOTW contains urgent info about where our climate, our world, and our society are headed, which everyone needs to hear
But it is getting very little traction😞
Please help share and promote🙂

The War on Iran Has Made the Rich Even Richer. Over 50% of the profits from recent oil supply shocks went to the top 1% of Americans. The bottom half received just 1%. The Iran war likely triggered another massive transfer to the very richest. https://t.co/MKGNznk9li
By 2045, ocean pH is projected to drop below 7.95. At this threshold, carbonate shells begin to dissolve. Plankton — which produce >50% of our oxygen — cannot survive.
Lose plankton. Lose oxygen. Lose billions of lives.

WindWaterSolar is booming and fossils are falling in the U.S. despite dumb policies.
Wind output up 3.4%
Water up 15.7%
Utility solar up 11.9%
BTM solar up 11.9%
Coal down 11.6%
first 4 months of 2026 vs 2025 (data from @EIAgov)
WWS supplied 30% of all US electricity in '26 vs 27.8% in '25
Wind nameplate up 5.98 GW, utility PV up 27.6 GW, BTM PV up 6.5 GW from May '25 to April '26
From '26 to '27, there will be another 13.1 GW wind (including 3.36 GW offshore), 42.5 GW utility PV, and 22.8 GW of batteries.

Expert scientific group concludes that this is the worst heatwave ever to hit U.K. and Europe and would not have been possible without human-made climate change. But, they add, this summer will seem cool in future as global heating grows.

The jaws of the energy transition are closing.
In 2005 fossil fuels made two-thirds of global electricity. Today it's 57.4%, with clean power (renewables + nuclear) at 42.6%.
Fossil share peaked around 2012 and keeps falling.

Unlike everywhere else, U.S. air conditioning access blunts public exposure to #GlobalWarming
Still, we shouldn't limit climate messaging to #cleanenergy being more affordable & better for the environment

The loss of Antarctica’s doomsday glacier would transform our planet. Now scientists are revealing the secrets of this remotest of places, and asking the question: is its demise inevitable? https://t.co/xpc0wP5Qyw
@MeidasTouch Even if democrats win the house and senate the Supreme Court will be a barrier to any progress.
It must be expanded as first order of business.
Climate change sceptics rightly say that, at present, many more people die of cold than heat. But research shows that rising temperatures kill more than they save, until heat becomes the bigger cause of death.
