Happy to have contributed to this new book on the promises and perils of AI for the scientific community. My excitement about the potential of AI in climate communication is still greater than my concerns. A big 'thank you' to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania for bringing us all together.

The Financial Times reports that during his talks with Xi Jinping Donald Trump floated the idea that the US, China and Russia should co-operate against the International Criminal Court.

In a strange twist of planetary history, it may have taken someone as uninformed as Trump to inadvertently hasten the decline of oil and gas.

España tiene claro el camino: electrificación, energías renovables y autonomía energética. Desengancharnos de los combustibles fósiles no es solo una apuesta climática: también es una apuesta por nuestra soberanía y nuestra competitividad.

Y esa transformación necesita de más inversión en interconexiones y en descarbonización.

You can now drive an EV from London to Barcelona on a single charge. Think about that: CATL just unveiled a battery with a 1,500km range that charges in 6 minutes

That's:
>Faster than a coffee break
>Longer than almost any petrol tank
>The final nail in the "range anxiety" coffin

The fossil fuel dinosaurs and their media puppets are still out there peddling the lie that EVs aren't ready for prime time. They are lying to you to protect their dying profits.

The technology is here. The economics are settled. The electrification of everything is accelerating

Energy disinformation is the new climate denial.

New interview with @wblau of @BrunswickGroup on why Europe is underestimating electrification, overestimating hydrogen & arguing about scarcity when alternatives are abundant.

[Wolfgang Blau @wblau]

Europe underestimates the advantages of rapid electrification, overestimates hydrogen & nuclear, and argues over energy scarcity when alternatives are available.

There are moments in life one cannot quite prepare for. Since my childhood, I have identified deeply with the United Nations and its promise. I am eager to get to work with Simon Stiell and the UN Climate Change team, UNFCCC.

The final report on the Iberia Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) blackout is out.

A lot of people will be blaming renewables and talk about inertia. But the cause was bad voltage control and that's surprisingly easy to fix. Let me explain.

A widespread transition to renewable energy could mitigate a major cause of international conflict in a future that moves away from fossil fuels, energy and climate change experts told ABC News.

I do rarely say something is a must-read.
But this thorough investigation by @arusbridger certainly is.
If @lisanandy and Ofcom don't do anything now, they are complicit in letting the UK media landscape slide towards a lawless propaganda world like in the US.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

1/ Global events demonstrate the need to go further and faster in our drive for clean power, because there can be no energy security while we are so dependent on fossil fuels.

That’s why we’re accelerating our clean power mission.

🇪🇺 EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says the quiet part out loud: Washington is not trying to manage Europe. It is trying to dissolve it.

“They do not like the European Union,” she told the Financial Times. The tactics, she adds, resemble those used by the EU’s adversaries.

The answer is not bilateral deals with Trump. It is unity. Because when Europe stands together, it is an equal power. And that is exactly what Washington cannot stand.

Forensic analysis of videos and satellite imagery shows how US-Israeli strikes have damaged Iranian hospitals, schools and gyms near targets.

Rather than concentrate on the wildfire war he's just started, Trump is spending his time on the phone with British journalists slagging off Keir Starmer. Their dictation skills turn out to be excellent https://t.co/s4c0IdpVK6
