'Time for Half-Measures Is Over': Study Warns of Terrifying Collapse of Atlantic Ocean Current
"We must avoid this collapse at all costs," said a leading current researcher, who warned that "the stability of the entire planet" is at stake.
As Trump prepares to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, it’s worth knowing a staggering stat about the gas that comes through there:
If all LNG coming down the Strait in 2025 had been used for electricity, it would have been less that what was generated by solar power newly INSTALLED that year

The arrangement could signal a fracture in the decades-long effort among nations to reach consensus on how to mine the ocean floor while protecting ecosystems. »

Will we see rationing of oil and gas? It's now very possible.
Past crises show ~10% of energy can be saved through conservation short-term.
The only lasting solution: switch to alternatives and dramatically improve energy efficiency.

Yachts are rich people's carbon bombs. Yachts are a policy failure. We should put a 100% luxury tax on yachts, and put the money into green infrastructure that cuts carbon pollution and protects coastal communities from floods.
From Belgium and with you from day 1 of the full invasion. Media coverage is rather okay here, although it too often gets sidelined by less important local news
UK Climate Change Committee reiterates how delivering on net zero target is expected to result in costs equivalent to just 0.2 % of GDP, while unlocking multiple long-term benefits.

Since both Bill Gates and Bjorn Lomborg are back in the news (in the context of the Epstein Files):
How much will it cost the UK to reach an 87% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040?
In a new letter, @thecccuk.bsky.social confirms about £4bn a year (£26bn a year of costs minus £22bn a year of savings).

87% by 2040 is a stepping stone to net zero by 2050
In China zijn ze nu ook het zware wegverkeer aan het elektrificeren. Weer n waterstofboompje dat geveld wordt.
'My retarded brother bilo (Borat)'... moet ik altijd aan denken bij Trump. O ja, nergens vinden je zoveel windturbines dan in China, met voorsprong zelfs.

NEW RECORD: Africa imports 2GW of solar panels for the first time in a month.
And this is happening EVERYWHERE in Africa...
Instead of expensive batteries, your city’s request from Santa might be as simple as a giant box of sand to help keep houses warm next winter.

Kernuitstap → meer gas → meer CO₂ → meer afhankelijkheid?
Nee. Gas draait vandaag minder dan tien jaar geleden, en import verdringt vooral gas. Het probleem zit niet in de kernuitstap, maar in hoe we over de elektriciteitsmarkt denken.

"Hard-to-abate" is sometimes code for "we haven't looked closely yet." This great new report shows opportunities for clean heat (low/medium-temp industrial process heat) through electrification, which also has public health benefits.
Bar graph showing number of annual hot days with and without Paris agreement pledges compared to current. Alot more heat is on the way.
🧵 It's hard to believe but 10 years ago today the Paris Agreement was signed at COP21🌎
Where are we at in 2025? Projected warming this century has dropped from ~4°C in 2015 to 2.6°C today, if current emissions reduction pledges are implemented. But a lot more work is needed!
The Trump administration released its latest National Security Strategy--and one thing that can be said is that there is no more pretending. It’s a plan to weaken European unity, to make Europe MAGA, to force Europe to take economic dictation by the USA…. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
De opbrengst van RU export van olie, kolen en gas is in de loop van 2025 met 30% gedaald. Vooral door lagere marktprijzen.
Gecorrigeerd voor RU productiekosten is sprake van 50% daling van de exportbaten.

#Ukraine plans to demand $44 billion from Russia for climate-related damages caused by the full-scale invasion. It’s the first time in history that a country seeks compensation specifically for emissions caused by war.
Russia's war is devastating for Ukrainian environment⤵️
I’m really surprised this isn’t bigger news. Just under 10 million people live in Tehran. Where can they go? Where else in Iran will have enough water? This will undoubtedly strain the country’s and the region’s politics, finances and governance capacity.
Ja, we moeten zeker het koolstofgehalte (=organische stof) van onze landbouwbodems vergroten, of op z'n minst op peil houden.
Maar voor klimaatmitigatie kunnen we beter focussen op ons landgebruik.
