This should be on every front page:

My annual presentation: trends in decarbonization.

The long view; trends and transience; net zero as evolution and revolution. Everything from surface humidity to Nordic heat pump sales to hydrocarbon gravimetric density to hyperobjects.

And great to see clean energy investments equal to fossil fuels for the first time in history. Add in @BloombergNEF's $79bn in clean energy factory investment in 2022 => clean breaks the tie.
But BNEF concludes RE investments still need to treble for climate science alignment.

This is the Bronx River the same year the EPA was founded, a place the city referred to as an "open sewer." This week, three dolphins were found eating fish in the river for the first time in decades. Yeah, environmental protection is actually a great thing.(Camilo Vergara, 1970)

I just received a call from Tom Barrett conceding the election. I’m so grateful to the people of mid-Michigan for their support. Tonight, voters here made clear that the politics of division are not what they want for our families or our state. 1/

It's possible the margin for "No" in red Kansas will be a resounding double digits, a sign of just how unpopular overturning Roe v. Wade is nationally.

After 3 weeks reporting on the Ocean Viking search and rescue ship, I've hung up my lifejacket.

I'm taking a bit of time off now, but here's a recap of my reports. They aren't easy reading, but I urge you to take a look - not enough is known about what's happening in the Med.🧵
