a chart showing various oil scenarios and actual oil demand aligning to the higher oil consumption ones
If the world had followed ambitious climate scenarios, global oil demand would be at least 20% lower than it is today - about the same volume of oil that flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
Happy "let's circle back in the New Year" season to all who celebrate.
The @accuweather.com acct hasn't posted here on Bluesky in two months but they did put this map together on their other socials, showing verified shots of the 11/11 aurora in all 50 states. Solar Cycle 25 has defied expectations and has been giving us a show for a year and a half.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
Really good points Jason. Have walked the paths you listed a few times. Organizational context is critical and product teams need to calibrate transform efforts to greater good of the org, and there is no one right path for everyone.
