A long-awaited step towards UN General Assembly recognition of the human right to a healthy environment: yesterday, five states circulated a draft resolution to all UN missions. This is a big deal. In this thread, I explain the background, the resolution, and next steps. 1/16

In Germany, #solar hit a record 36,848MW at 1pm on Wednesday, supplying more than 60% of demand - while solar also met a quarter of all energy demand in 5 of Europe’s biggest markets on the same day

Watch renewables supply 100% 24/7 in Germany by 2035

Not all farms are small and cozy....

This is the true scale of how farm animals are raised in parts of the United States. Let’s restore our respect for all living beings.

We have solutions to the #climatecrisis, implement them. #ActOnClimate

I’ll never stop being shocked that the UN process has spent five decades avoiding talking about fossil fuels while attempting to talk about the ecological damage they cause, including climate change.

It’s wild that it took this long, and it’s big that it’s finally happening.

This case could set a vitally important global precedent!
Good luck to Mr. Lliuya and the lawyers representing him against RWE.

There is always a first time: For the first time, for a brief time, California ran on 100% renewables

It will run on 100% renewables all the time well before 2045

We can do this. Everywhere. Despite fossil fuel subsidies and vested interests

Fossil fuel interests are now cynically using the war in Ukraine to try to lock in a high carbon future.

A shift to renewables is crucial to mending our broken global energy mix & offering hope to millions suffering climate impacts today.

Look at all the gas produced and used in the US! To me, the conversation here in the US should be much more about how we can *use* less ourselves (freeing it up for Europe) than on how to *produce* more. Using less has so many more co-benefits than producing more.
