Just found out that M&S are advertising on GB News Radio. M&S talk a lot about their 'green' credentials – so do they really want to be spending money with a channel that spreads climate misinformation?

Yesterday, I returned from 3 weeks in Costa Rica, where I went to find out what can be learned from their spectacular success rewilding a country. I cannot overstate how awe-inspiring the trip was: nature loss CAN be reversed on a huge scale, benefiting everyone.

Quick reminder that GB News have been giddily pushing Trump's anti-climate lines for ages now 🫥 We'll keep sharing lists of advertisers on the channel so you can let them know what their ££ is going to. Often, they'll pull their ads. ∴ Less money, less megaphone

This is a key trend to watch: if a heavily industrialised country like China can shift away from fossil fuels and electrify successfully it will serve as a role model for the world. Coal/oil remain dominant but renewables installations are surging

For anyone writing Chris Wright stories: his conclusion that climate change is no biggie comes from a common mischaracterization of the economics literature. This could be a good opportunity to explain that to people (1/x)

Excellent analysis:lby carbon brief: Right wing UK newspapers have shifted from outright climate denial to attacks on net-zero, they use the same discredited & recycled arguments: that net-zero is too expensive, China is a major carbon emitter so why should the UK act &that renewables are unreliable

In their coverage of the LA fires, neither the NYT Daily podcast nor the NYT Morning Newsletter addresses climate change at all. The Daily has a single throwaway mention but doesn’t actually talk about it and the newsletter just ignores it. Again, climate chaos’ central role is conspicuously absent

How many times do we need to scream about the absolute necessity of getting off fossil fuels?

submitted 49 days ago • 0 comments

that climate chaos is fueling more frequent and more severe extreme weather events like the LA Fires is beyond dispute. And once again corporate media's reporting on the devastation ignores fossil fuel's central role in the horrors we see on our screens. I argue here that this is bad and should stop

Big news which will have profound impacts on energy markets and geopolitics as years of increasing oil demand comes to an end leaving oil producers with falling revenues. Most likely that oil prices will fall until high cost producers (like Venezuela) are forced out of the market

One of the most important and overlooked trends of 2024: Enhanced geothermal costs have fallen 50%. This technology could provide 24/7 clean power all around the world. It could be one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. But still completely overlooked.

Great article - climate chaos is going to create unpredictable and dangerous political, social and economic impacts. But hopefully it can also spark positive change as well as people realize the dangers of climate risk and demand governments take action
