We collectively haven’t been taking the plans laid out by Project 2025 seriously enough. They want to destroy NOAA so people won’t know that climate change is happening. It sounds stupid and alarmist if you haven’t been paying attention.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

World hits 1.5C warming Or to put it another way: The people who questioned climate science and emissions cuts were wrong then, are wrong now, and we will all pay a huge price if we listen to them. www.ft.com/content/fd91...

Nick Robinson is doing a great job actually, just pointing out to Robert Jenrick how sudden his interest in the sex abuse scandal is on the Today Programme. It's crazy watching these GB News blowhards and Tory also-rans suddenly so interested in this scandal. There was absolutely no sign >>

🚗What's happening to Europe's car industry is one of the biggest stories in the world right now, & prob the biggest story of next year too. A slow motion implosion driven by multiple factors (esp Chinese competition). Watch my primer on what's going on👇 youtu.be/oW_SXIVQT5I?...

Now this place is cooking, maybe worth doing a big old energy thread. Let’s talk about how electricity prices are set, why they’re so high in Britain, and how we could reduce them… 🧵

Used electric cars are now cheaper than their petrol equivalents in the UK. That feels significant? Especially since the running costs are so much lower (if you are home charging) www.carwow.co.uk/news/7858/us...

If this chart says to you "the climate/1.5C was screwed either way", then you've missed a fundamental truth about global warming: –every fraction of a degree matters –every tonne of CO2 counts –every delay makes escalating climate impacts on people + planet harder to avoid www.carbonbrief.org/...
