The shift to clean energy in the United States is UNSTOPPABLE, former head of the @EPA @Gina_McCarthy tells @SophyRidgeSky on @SkyPoliticsHub.

"We are seeing huge investment of half a TRILLION dollars in the Inflation Reduction Act, in public and private sectors, primarily benefitting Republican states."

Although US international obligations will be challenged, states & local governments will move forward with these investments, she says.

A sad day today. The Sphinx will melt in the early hours of tomorrow morning, meaning that’s the fourth consecutive year it has done so.

This patch was once considered permanent. It has now melted completely since the 1700s in the following years:

1933
1959
1996
2003
2006
2017
2018
2021
2022
2023
2024

We are now in an era when its survival will be the exception. A 180° turn in a little over 20 years.

"Right boys, that's the end of coal in the UK for electricity."

This was the moment Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station was shut down, bringing an end to the country's 142-year reliance on the fossil fuel.

This is the moment Ratcliffe power station came off the electricity system for the final time, marking the end of 142 years of coal generating electricity in Great Britain!

[Climate Centre @ClimateCentreUK]

Today's the day that Britain kicks coal.

How did we get here? And what needs to happen next?

Reform UK MPs represent some of Britain's most climate vulnerable communities.

As the #ReformUK24 conference gets underway in Birmingham - will coastal flooding be on the agenda?

[Climate Centre @ClimateCentreUK]

This historic hydro power station has just had an upgrade.

Part of a wave of development which first brought electricity to remote parts of the highlands, the clean power from places like this is now more important than ever.

In Scotland, the 'Sphinx' snow patch has only melted three times in the 20th century but 2024 will be its fourth in a row, a telling sign of climate change according to experts

[Iain Cameron @theiaincameron]

I visited Garbh Choire Mòr last week with a very dynamic film crew. Here’s a snippet of the results.

[Climate Centre @ClimateCentreUK]

This small patch of snow is the closest thing Britain has to a glacier. It melted just 3 times in the whole 20th century, but in a few weeks it will disappear for the fourth year in a row.

@theiaincameron took us up Braeriach in the Cairngorms to see for ourselves. #thesphinx

[Luke Denne @lukedenne]

"quite" the understatement @theiaincameron

[Iain Cameron @theiaincameron]

A return trip to Garbh Choire Mòr today with a film crew to record the last of the snow. Pretty mixed weather, but it cleared when it mattered. The crew agreed that the entry and exit gully was quite lively.

"Gas is the problem"

Energy bills will rise by 10% from October putting a strain on household finances this winter.

@jessralston2 explains to @TomSwarbrick1 why higher wholesale gas prices are to blame.

✈️ The Government has approved an expansion at London City Airport, but what does it mean for similar plans at Gatwick and Luton and is it compatible with our climate targets?

🌡️The Mediterranean Sea is the hottest it's ever been, matching the record set last July.

🛁 Temperatures typically fall in August, but bath-like warmth of over 30 degrees C has been observed along the coasts of France, Spain and Italy.

[Climate Centre @ClimateCentreUK]

It’s officially the #hottestday of the year and popular destinations have had a summer of extreme heat. But do you know your limits in a heatwave?

In the name of science, we put @ArmyCadetsUK ambassador, adventurer and author Jordan Wylie MBE into a heat lab at @RoehamptonUni.

"Why should we cut emissions in Britain when China's are always rising?"

Turns out they're actually falling.

Unusual to see the Mail, Express, Times join the Guardian with all choosing the same image of anti-fascist demonstrations.

With more racist protests planned tonight, my daughter's nursery in London is closing early so staff and children (from many ethnic and religious backgrounds) can "get home safely".

Many staff seemed visibly nervous at drop off. Grim.
