RECORD YEAR: 2025 was the biggest year ever for renewables. A record 692 GW was added, mostly solar.
More importantly, non-fossil sources generated 43% of the world's electricity and fossil generation fell.

“Temperatures in the Antarctic climbed above 15C this month, shattering the previous winter heat record for the usually frozen region and raising concerns about the speed of climate breakdown.”
"Scientists said the high of 15.4C broke the previous record set at the same station in 1998 by 2C. “This is absolutely crazy,” said Raúl Cordero, an Ecuadorian climate professor at the University of Groningen. “It is also about 20C above normal for this time of the year. That is a huge anomaly.”

The latest global temperature data from Copernicus has the planet at a record daily high on May 13th, likely the hottest May 13th in the last 120,000+ years. And El Nino is just getting started.
We live in interesting times.
MICROPLASTICS CONTRIBUTE TO WARMING
