Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

Por favor, @elpais.com, la AfD no es un partido conservador sino de extrema derecha. Confirmado por el "Verfassungsschutz".

Wall Street Journal: Natural Gas prices are on fire. (prices of wind, sun, and falling water remained stable at zero)

Would more high-vis attached to the signs have helped?

Hello Australia from New Zealand with the Shit party at the wheel, please watch. Chur.

So far in 2025, in California: > Solar up 33.8% v. 2024 > Fossil gas use for electricity down 28% > Battery use is up 78% > Solar has already met 100% of demand in the midst of winter Renewable energy is now unstoppable www.pv-magazine.com/2025/02/21/c...

Wind generated more German electricity than coal for the 2nd year in a row in 2024⚡ 🇩🇪 has made more progress than most in unleashing affordable 🌪️ power. Approvals of new wind farms reached a RECORD 14 GW in 2024, more than the rest of the EU combined. ember-energy.org/lat...

Friday was an unusually mild day across the U.K., Ireland, France, and Spain. 🔴High temperatures as much as 3°C-8°C (5°F-14°F+) ABOVE average would be extremely rare -- to almost virtually impossible -- without a fingerprint of human-caused climate change

Revealing and awful! This just might be the most revealing right-wing attack yet on EVs. It is Luddite, attacking modernity and public goods. It reveals fear. Just as King Canute couldn't stop the tide, President Trump can not stop the incoming EV tsunami! electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

Shutting down existing EV charging hardware, which has already been paid for, is the definition of government waste. But I don't hear DOGE doing anything about this… 🙄 electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

We’re consulting on potential reforms to the CfD for the next renewables allocation round, later this year - among them, longer contracts as we as some other new parameters. These are some of the most important changes that we can implement for the 2030 clean power mix. www.gov.uk/government/c...

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

The Extreme Weather Report, February 20, 2025: This is your weather on fossil fuels.

President Trump's executive order gives oil and gas companies a green light to drill in public waters--rolling back protections that permanently protected important undeveloped areas. We've stopped this scheme before, and we'll do it again. See you in court.

Fantastic @desmog.bsky.social post detailing how solidly Musk is now positioned as one of the single greatest threats to climate action we have ever faced www.desmog.com/2025/02/20/e... @geoffdembicki.bsky.social @joefassler.bsky.social @adambarnett.bsky.social

The one Oscar-nominated movie that brought up climate, by the way, was "The Wild Robot." It was amazing. I talked with the people who made it happen: www.latimes.com/environment/...

I have video of the exact moment I was completely sold on vibrant cities, streets for people, and active transportation. It happened right here, and I lost all sense of reality. I felt like I was in a movie. This was my urbanist awakening, the moment I turned against car dependency. 👇

The "CO2 is plant food" myth keeps coming up. Why is it wrong? My latest on The Climate Brink www.theclimatebrink....

"The senior US Republicans tasked with dismantling Joe Biden’s signature climate policy have enjoyed an investment boom of more than $130bn in the areas they represent thanks to the former president’s law." www.ft.com/content/e627...

We tolerate this, as an acceptable price of motordom. Put up speed cameras, and drivers will cut them down. Find someone guilty of dangerous driving, and a judge will let them walk free. Take away someone's licence and they'll be given it back. www.bbc.com/news/article...

DOGE updated its website today, adding a section on regulations that relied on data from a climate denying libertarian think tank w/ @dharna.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Climate advocacy groups file two lawsuits against Trump administration

🚨 Domestic renewable generation exceeded Irish electricity demand between about 3am and 6am this morning with wind output alone peaking at 103.3% of demand just after 5am, setting a new record on the Irish grid. We'll have more analysis later today! 🏅

Revealed: Boeing, Airbus shipments among aircraft parts worth millions passed on to Russia via India, despite sanctions Our new investigation, coordinated with media in 11 countries, traced hundreds of cargoes using customs data from western firms to Indian intermediaries and then Russian buyers.

#Fellas let's try to build a movement to ban X. You can sign the petition but also you can email your European elected officials asking to present a draft law in the European parliament. #StandWithUkraine #NAFO #Resist #BanX #UE #WakeUpUE chng.it/ZgBd97gp9D

That’s how you write a headline, people.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

BREAKING: Earthjustice is suing to block Trump's illegal ocean drilling order. ​Today, we filed the first major environmental lawsuit against the new Trump administration. We’re challenging an illegal order by Trump to remove protections for vulnerable ocean areas from future oil-and-gas leasing.
