Are you going to pay for the income I would lose by deleting those platforms? I don't think so because Instagram is my main platform, and paid partnerships I post there account for 80% of my income.

We’ve still got to take action to prevent further damage from his administration, but isn’t it wild that he’s helping other countries commit more to climate action?

(Folks on Facebook are already sending me threats because of this video, so that means I must be doing something right!)

In a First for the U.S., Renewables Generate More Power Than Natural Gas In March, for the first time, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the transition to clean power. However, rising power demand is complicating the shift away from fossil fuels by extending the lives of many aging coal power plants.

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

I think so! If I fly, I have no choice but to leave from a tiny airport and fly into a hub. Those flights never last more than 45 min, so they could easily be electric in the future!

(Obviously I want more public transit too and would take that over flying if it was available in my area)

Solar generation reached roughly 10 GW, just below a record set in July last year, while wind output climbed to almost 24 GWs, a new high."

Oil/gas again prove they endanger economies.

If you constantly negatively respond to my content, you will be blocked moving forward.

The endless unconstructive criticism of my work is destroying my mental health and making me not want to produce content anymore.

So please be kind or else I’m going to have to find another job.

Scottish airline makes history with first all‑electric flight A Scottish airline has made UK aviation history by being the first commercial airline to fly an all-electric aircraft across its network

I don't know about y'all, but I love watching climate solutions go from being theorized to being commercially viable.

If you’re telling people not to attend protests yet aren’t offering alternatives for action, you’re part of the problem!

We shouldn’t be discouraging action at a time like this — especially when protests are crucial to building coalition in conservative and rural areas.

Construction starts on high speed line featuring South Korea’s first undersea rail tunnel SOUTH KOREA: Construction started with a groundbreaking ceremony on February 3 on the 174·6 km high speed line linking Gimcheon with the island city of Geoje.

Is there a term for being envious of other countries expanding and modernizing their passenger rail infrastructure??

Because whatever it is, I have it as an American who lives just a few blocks away from an old passenger rail station that is now a burger restaurant..

How I look while watching the world finally realize that relying on fossil fuels, especially during times of conflict, is actually bad for the economy because it means the grip the fossil fuel industry has on the world is starting to unravel right before my very eyes:

Just a heads up that young people won't engage with your scientific research or activism campaigns if you use generative AI images and videos.

They probably won't trust you or your organization moving forward ether, so hire a creative like the good ol' days or don't use any graphics at all.

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

It's been interesting to watch major media outlets put their climate reporting behind a paywall while other articles are not.

I understand the financial reasoning but worry about its overall impact. Climate hushing is bad enough as is; this is only going to make it worse.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Beware of bad actor messaging campaigns aimed to get you to not take action. They are popping up on my feed here more often.

One just said that “voting truly is the opiate of the masses,” as if voting isn’t the bare minimum way we should engage in our democracy.

Please keep voting 🙏

Yeah, but for a climate journalist to write an op-ed without talking to activists and then claim we aren’t doing anything is just straight up unprofessional.. even in times of fascism..

Has anyone had luck with using bentonite clay as a plastic-free pond liner?

I've used it to patch holes in landfill liners for years, and I can't believe I didn't consider it sooner for my backyard wildlife pond design.
