[Tzeporah Berman @Tzeporah]

Let’s get something straight about fossil fuel phase-out: renewables needn’t replace all the coal, oil and gas we use today bc most of it is just used to produce and move those fossil fuels around!

We only need to replace the useful energy: 37% of what we currently produce 🫨🧵

[Climate High-Level Champions @hlcchampions]

"You don't solve volatility by doubling down on the most volatile energy source on earth."

According to @Tzeporah Berman, founder of the @fossiltreaty, the transition to clean energy is happening. The only question is whether it will happen in an orderly and just manner.

Glaciers in the 'roof of the world' have suddenly started melting

I mean why wouldn't they. We've warmed 2C in 150yrs. Unpresidented in the Paleo record. We're warming now 20x+ faster than the natural rate 14k years ago. Back then there were episodes of more than a 1ft of SLR per YEAR 🌊

Until recently, the Pamir mountains in central Asia have bucked the global melting trend, but in 2025, the region’s glaciers experienced a massive loss of ice due to extreme heat. James Woodford

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

This week on Zero, a Bloomberg Green podcast, @Tzeporah is in conversation with Akshat Rathi about what the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta achieved and where it goes next.

“You're not talking about whether fossil fuel phase out needs to happen, you're talking about how.”

“What has to shift is the politics and the culture and the courage, and I think this process helps ensure that that can happen.”

A new peer-reviewed article estimates that a single day of extreme heat causes 3,400 excess deaths across India. Extreme heat events are especially bad for UP, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, since these states have underlying socioeconomic vulnerabilities. https://t.co/cBHeHe6Rsd

Clean power met all new global electricity demand in 2025.

Electricity demand rose by 849 TWh, while solar alone added 636 TWh ☀️

“Despite the progress of recent years, it’s clear that global heating is still outpacing global efforts to contain it, and the baking temperatures in Europe, India…show yet again the brutal human & economic impacts of humanity still burning colossal amounts of coal, oil and gas”

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

Large parts of India have been approaching “feels like” temps near 50°C. Some coastal regions may reach ~33°C wet-bulb. At 35°C wet-bulb, heat and humidity overwhelm the human body’s ability to cool itself. Survival becomes measured in hours, especially for the elderly & infants

[First, Do No Harm @Docs4Divestment]

Harvard scientists:

Thousands of deaths prevented thanks to lower vehicle emissions.

US EPA @epaleezeldin:

Let's increase vehicular emissions. https://t.co/iEs6fN2jqQ

The pace of climate change has doubled, just as political and business commitment to tackling it has crashed. Our children, grandchildren, and their descendants living in a much more hostile climate - will see this as history’s greatest betrayal.

Early heat wave in Europe shatters records, prompts health risk warnings. This heat dome scorching Western Europe has already cost lives at sporting events & people drowning who are seeking relief. Lethal heat is taking 1 life per minute on the planet now. https://t.co/CsHghKPr4s

Electric car sales rose to new records in nearly 100 countries in 2025 – and close to 30% of all cars sold globally this year are set to be electric

Battery price declines & policy responses to the current energy crisis can add to EVs' momentum

The American epoch of oil is collapsing. What comes next could be ugly. Don’t miss this epic article by Jonathon Watts of the Guardian where he explores “fossil fuel fascism” and the role of China as a rising electrostate. https://t.co/CGtZgK9P14

Audio up!
New article on Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica today claims that the ice shelf is deteriorating much faster now leading the team at the British Antarctic Survey to write an obituary for it. These quotes sound alarming, and they are. But deep in the article they mention that this is a “gradually developing crisis rather than an immediate emergency.”
Still with comments like this from scientists it’s a good reminder that a whole lot of ice and sea level is sitting behind very fragile ice shelves at the bottom of the World!
"Suddenly, large areas are just falling to pieces," says Christian Wild, from the University of Innsbruck in Austria. "It looks like a windscreen that's shattering."
“Massive cracks have emerged around the pinning point, where an underwater ridge once anchored the floating ice in position.”
"It's essentially in free fall now," says Mr Wild, noting the pace has quickened further over the past five months.
“Fresh rifts have appeared along the grounding line, where the glacier transitions from land to floating ice.”
Here’s a video I made explaining the ice shelf holds back the Glacier and how the grounding line is destabilizing. Audio up!

New data from Ember: When renewables drive gas below a 20% grid share in Britain, wholesale power prices crash from £130 down to £60/MWh, a 54% drop
>We're finally breaking the power that volatile natural gas prices have held over electricity bills in so many countries for decades
>Because of marginal pricing rules, the most expensive power plant needed to meet demand sets the price for the whole grid. So gas dictated everything. But superior renewables technology and zero-fuel-cost physics are completely disrupting that system
>When wind and solar surged in Britain last year and pushed gas down to less than 20% of the electricity mix, wholesale electricity prices plummeted to an average of £60/MWh
>When fossil gas ran the show at over half the mix, the price was £130/MWh
>Right now, 15% of Britain's electricity generation has completely decoupled from gas volatility. It's locked in under the Contracts for Difference scheme across 10 GW of operating wind and solar assets
>By 2030, that number jumps to more than a third of the grid. That means 36 GW of clean capacity acting as a permanent, iron-clad shield against international fuel price spikes

This isn't just a British story. It's a blueprint for energy planners anywhere in the world, from Berlin to Jakarta: If your grid relies on commodities shipped across oceans or through pipelines, you don’t have an energy strategy, you have a security threat while handing a blank check to foreign cartels

[Akshat Rathi @AkshatRathi]

Renewables are unstoppable. BNEF's New Energy Outlook for this year says solar is set to be biggest source of electricity in 2032 and wind second biggest in 2034. Both coal and gas displaced from those thrones. This is the business-as-usual scenario.
