The 2% of the planet representing the conterminous United States was quite chilly in January. The rest of the world, not so much! berkeleyearth.org/ja...

My latest on The Climate Brink: No, renewables don't need expensive backup. In fact, renewables push the most expensive fossil fuel producers out of the market, saving money for the economy. www.theclimatebrink....

Hi EnergySky, I have a heat pump question! Our old gas furnace died, and we got quoted $8.7k to replace the furnace vs $22.8k to get a heat pump. We currently have negligible cooling (one small window unit run 2 weeks a year). We live in Oakland and use PG&E.

Effectively paralyzing all new solar and wind development – even on private land – seems pretty contrary to conservative deregulation and free market values and non-sensical given our declared "energy emergency". This is bad: heatmap.news/plus/th...

Agency after agency is being ransacked by 20-something Muskovites at DOGE. Trump Admin threatens to lay off 1/4 to 1/2 of employees at the National Science Foundation. Cutting staff at the $10b/year grantmaking agency would “gut the intellectual center of U.S. leadership in science and technology."

An acre of land can power a car to go 13,000 miles per year using biofuel (corn ethanol), or 900,000 miles per year using solar.

January 2025 has the second highest global average sea surface temperature (SST) on record (2024). This despite the ongoing, and strengthening La Nina. Truly remarkable - in a scary way. 🔥

A lot of folks asked why I through this January's record global temperatures were so unexpected. I think this graph shows it pretty clearly: pretty much every other January with La Nina conditions has been a cooler than the surrounding years.
