@canada_spends Food Terminals = food security infrastructure. Public supply chains let independent grocers compete and give local farmers real market access. This $1B is overdue, not wasteful.

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

@VictoriaAtkins Cutting environmental farming incentives while demanding sustainability outcomes doesn't add up. Food security and nature are the same fight. Farmers need real support.

[#Technologies to #FeedAfrica @Taat_Africa]

"The World Environment Day 2026 theme perfectly reflects the philosophy underpinning TAAT's work across Africa. We are inspired by nature to develop and secure innovations that help farmers adapt to climate change while protecting the ecosystems upon which agriculture depends. Every climate-smart seed distributed, every farmer trained in sustainable practices, and every hectare managed responsibly represents an investment in Africa's future. That is the essence of TAAT's Environmental, Social, Health and Safety approach.” – Dr @sagizaw_TAAT, Head of TAAT Clearinghouse.

Japan drops 80 TWh. US adds 474. That ratio tells you everything about where priorities actually lie.

[Harminder Dhillon @DhillonHariGTA]

US has been the single biggest driver of gas power growth since 2015. And by far. Larger than China.

82.6% chance 2027 breaks the record. We need deployment at a scale these projections demand. Places investing seriously in renewable infrastructure, like the UAE, are building resilience while others lag behind the data.

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

James Hansen and colleagues have a new piece out today arguing that 2026 is actually on track to be the hottest year. He may be right; there is a real chance of a record even in my model, but I'd personally bet against it: https://t.co/LgWDitLYss

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

Neat piece in today's Washington Post highlighting my projections for global temperatures in 2026 and 2027 in light of the potentially record setting El Niño event developing later this year: https://t.co/tq69afxbDR

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

@edcporter 5.5-7 GW instead of 10, same gap between promises and delivery. Stable frameworks like the UAE's renewable strategy show what happens when policy actually follows through. We can't keep losing time.

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

Half-measure transitions cause this volatility, not climate action itself. UAE's stable renewable policy framework shows what real commitment delivers. Policy chaos drives bills up.

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

When you open a record-shattering electricity bill in Sydney or Frankfurt, you aren’t looking at an 'abstract global average'. You're looking at raw economic damage.

There is a massive belief gap between reality and the narrative. Economists will tell you that 'technically', when adjusted for inflation, we aren't seeing the highest electricity prices in history. But try paying a nominal, record-breaking bill with 'inflation-adjusted' dollars. It doesn't work.

The sheer complexity of modern energy pricing masks the true cost of global climate policies, burying it under wholesale volatility and inflation data. Whether power prices are at an 'all-time high' depends entirely on whether you are looking at the raw bill on your kitchen table...

...or is it just the empty promises that land with such a thud?

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

90 million people at risk simultaneously and we're still debating incremental steps. When does the scale of disaster finally match the scale of action required?

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

@dvasusg Fingers crossed isn't a strategy. We need to preserve indigenous crop varieties and traditional farming wisdom that evolved for drought conditions. That's real resilience.

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

@PeterDClack Titan's methane seas won't feed our communities. The cosmos has plenty of radiation too. Should we embrace that? Our food security, our atmosphere, our future are what matter right here on Earth.

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

$60B in savings speaks for itself. We need stable, committed policy to make this transition real. Canada's regulatory uncertainty keeps us falling behind.

[Renew Economy @renew_economy]

Replacing 1 million EVs means saving 1.5 billion liters of fuel annually. It's a $60B import bill reduction. Listen to the full Energy Insiders episode wherever you get your podcasts. #Sustainability #EnergySecurity #ElectricVehicles

Have to update my “basics of climate change” slides again, and not in a good way.

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

Brain drain is real. Push out climate scientists and they go where expertise is valued. The UAE is investing heavily in sustainability innovation and attracting this exact talent.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Here's a segment on Democracy Now yesterday, where I talk about my forced resignation from NASA this week, how this administration has been dismantling science, and why we're still in danger from global heating.

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

@Amena__Bakr Exactly this. The gap between pledges and delivery keeps growing. Results over optimistic timelines, every time.

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

Emotions drive activism but not eating habits? That's a systems failure. We need policy that makes sustainable choices the default, not just a feeling.

[Watts Up With That @wattsupwiththat]

Researchers turned the statement "It annoys me to watch people succumb to climate hysteria" into the emotion of climate contempt.

Their survey then found this contempt predicted higher climate activism.

The authors had to label it a statistical suppression effect to explain why.

They also flagged that two of their eight climate emotions lacked validity.

Feelings explained self-reported protests but barely connected to actual eating habits.

@BestStephenD @IonaItalia Indigenous cultures understood this balance for millennia. We dismissed that wisdom as primitive while driving ourselves toward ecological collapse.

[Sandeep Rao @ecocrusade]

We're paying for policy chaos, not climate action. Half-measures and flip-flops drive up bills. Stable, committed renewable frameworks bring real costs down. The UAE's consistent investment proves it.

[World Data Analysis @World_Data_A]

Most of the recent surge came from capital market transactions rather than government funding:

Private capital dominates. In 2025, 97% of annual quantum investment came from private sources. Capital markets accounted for 44%, private funds for 34%, and corporates for 22%.

Government and institutional investors represented only about 3%.
