Germany just activated its largest ever solar installation — one farm, 1.5 million homes, zero carbon. The #CottbusSolarPark covers 3,500 hectares and produces 2.1 tw-hours annually, replacing two coal plants that operated on this same land until 2022. #SolarPower #ActOnClimate #Renewables
This is such an infuriating read! These unelected corrupt bullies in robes are why the US currently can’t have nice things…
We acknowledge that more than 90% of the heat from global warming has gone into the ocean but then act surprised when this happens.
Brazil has created the South Atlantic’s largest marine protected area, spanning about one million hectares. Supported by Conservation International, the reserve—roughly the size of Jamaica—aims to safeguard biodiversity, fisheries, and critical ocean ecosystems.

This is a frightening map, especially given the fact that this is normally near the peak in snowpack across the West. There are many far-reaching consequences from this historic snow drought, ranging from increasing risk of summer wildfires to major water concerns.

Finally a valid use of it haha!
Reminder, the AMOC keeps Europe relatively habitual, transports heat & energy, and is a key mechanism in thermohaline circulation (i.e. ocean conveyor belt).
This is kinda horrifying!! A stagnant ocean would have dire consequences for the planet…
Oof…good luck! Think waters heating up all over…
El Niño coming in hot…hold on to your butts…

Pretty sure that penguins are actually called ‘ice chickens’…
Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs.

The ‘hidden’ toxic impacts of tech aren’t really hidden for everyone. For some it’s at their backyard…
Holy New York.
Belugas are the only cetaceans that can move their heads freely, giving them a unique edge in navigating icy waters and finding food.

Some climate change facts:
2015–2025 = hottest decade observed
🌊 ~90% of excess heat stored in the oceans
Heat gain ≈ 18× global energy use
Rate is accelerating, not stabilizing
This isn’t just warming; it’s a system moving further out of equilibrium

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
Just stunning! It reminded me of a pteropod swimming in a bioluminescent ocean.

This is a marvelous change not only for the Humpback whale 🐋 population but for all of us. We need to keep our gentle giants from going extinct.

@kathlanpher.bsky.social has written a great article for the BBC about a photography expedition to film at a shallow #whale graveyard near Tasiilaq, Greenland. There are around 20 #minkewhale skeletons here, 15 feet belöw the pack ice

Cape point and the botanical gardens outside of Cape Town are amazing!
Mushrooms turn dead wood into food and medicine which is better than anything any tech start up has ever done
