“Scientists are now increasingly worried that the earth may well pass the tipping Amoc shutdown point — where it becomes inevitable — in the middle of this century. That’s not far away, and the consequences are terrifying.”
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
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

For the record - I've given up on Twitter and Substack (both promote Nazis) and I rarely post on Facebook, so if you enjoy reading this or get anything out of it, please share it and help me reach a wider audience. =)
Not enough.
He has to resign.
He has absolutely no idea what he's doing.
Bishop James Massa, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Doctrine, issued the following statement: "For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed' (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2308). That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: 'He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.' "When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ. The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that accompany all wars."
Scorching if careful and polite 🔥 to Vance from the US conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Doctrine! Many of those lads are horribly rightwingbut a Catholic come lately should never take them on in matters of doctrine! Even a cradle Catholic would think twice, you’d have be well prepared!
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?

Make cheap electric cars and we won't have to deal with this Straits of Hormuz oil bullshit. We will get cleaner air as an added benefit.

So sad to learn of the passing of Moya Brennan of Clannad. For me, her singing was the bridge between the old traditions of Irish music and something new and vibrant as contemporary sounds and influences came into it.
Her instrument was her voice, and it was stunning.

RIP
France 🇫🇷 doubles electrification support to €10bn/year through 2030 — EVs, heat pumps, industry.
The reason?
The Strait of Hormuz crisis making fossil fuel dependence impossible to ignore.
Geopolitical shocks don’t just raise prices. They change what’s politically possible.
Half a billion euro for 10c off each litre of petrol and diesel for drivers and all the rest on private business. No grants to make evs or hybrid cars affordable for people, no increase in grants for home insulation to save on heating oil, no reduction in the price of home heating oil.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.
~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.
Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.
Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.
This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification
