Just came out. It should be of interest to all of us excited about global renewable energy transition. Looking forward to reading this piece. FYI, @brianvad.bsky.social

Global Temperature Report for 2025 - Berkeley Earth 2025 was the 3rd warmest year on Earth since direct observations began, and recent warming appears to be moving faster than expected.

🌍 Berkeley Earth’s 2025 Global Temperature Report is out.
2025 was the 3rd warmest year on record. Annual global temperature reached 1.44 ± 0.09°C above the pre-industrial baseline; 770 million people experienced locally record-warm annual conditions.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

The EV share of new car sales in 🇩🇰 Denmark was 73.7% in November. Of private individuals buying a new car, 91% opted for an EV.

Cycling journeys up by 43% in London, TfL report suggests Cycling journeys have increased to more than 1.5 million daily this year, according to a new report.

“Cycling journeys in the capital have increased by 43% over the past six years to 1.5 million a day, according to a new report.”

Denmark announces one of the world’s most ambitious climate targets, while the rest of the EU looks away Governments across the continent have attacked green rules with increasing ferocity – all while professing their commitment to existing climate targets

#Wind-powered #Denmark plans to cut planet-heating pollution by at least 82% by 2035 from 1990 levels.

‘Planetary health diet’ could save 40,000 deaths a day, landmark report finds Diet allows modest meat consumption and would also slash food-related climate emissions by half, says report by 70 leading experts from 35 countries

The good news: we can pretty much stop the biodiversity crisis and give a massive contribution to dealing with climate change if we moved to a healthy diet. And it would save millions of human lives beside that.

How can policies to help it be contentious?

Very good interview of @billmckibben.bsky.social by Chris Hayes!!!! It is boosting my day! Thanks for sharing your positive attitude with the world. I will try my best to convey this optimism with my US students here in Copenhagen! #sunday

Factcheck: Trump’s climate report includes more than 100 false or misleading claims

Truly devastating for Trump's climate report. It just shows once again: if you task a group of "climate skeptics" with a climate report, you get a mass of easily refuted falsehoods, as they simply do not have honest arguments on their side.

Every country is warming.

Every country is experiencing more extreme weather events because of climate change, mainly caused by burning fossil fuels. www.ShowYourStripes.info

Time to #ShowYourStripes and start climate conversations to prompt actions to reduce emissions, personally & collectively.

Very relevant piece by @petergleick.bsky.social reminding us that climate change is a threat multiplier for national security and has been acknowledged by the DoD and other top US for DECADES!! BTW, it is a serious threat for other countries..."Physical reality will always trump political ideology".

Preliminary data suggests that the global average increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration in 2024 will be a record.

Not just a little record, but 25% higher than the previous record.

(This is the global average, as opposed to Moana Loa)

Rich nations could see ‘double climate dividend’ by switching to plant-based foods - Carbon Brief Adopting a more plant-based diet could give rich countries a “double climate dividend” of lower emissions and more land for capturing carbon, a new study says.

Excellent turn of phrase - "double climate dividend" - in this paper by @paulbehrens.bsky.social et al.

Shifting high-meat diets toward plants benefits the climate in 2 ways:
1. Reducing emissions from ag production
2. Reducing ag land needs, enabling ecosystem restoration/avoiding deforestation 🧪

Just came across this podcast by one of the climate scientists that I follow regularly. The podcast is from July 2024. Thanks @natehagens.bsky.social and Johan rockstrom for making this.

Trump’s Energy Agenda Is Uninhibited — and Incoherent What we learned about “energy dominance” on day one

"Trump’s first day was about undermining climate policy in virtually any form that he could find," writes @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social.

On Trump's reckless energy agenda:

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement:
Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect?
Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse?
Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

Trump Orders End to All Wind Energy Permits The worst case scenario for the wind industry is here.

We've got four more years of Trump administration to unpack, but here's what we've got for Day One:

- an end to all wind energy permits (that includes onshore)

Trump moves to exit Paris agreement and undo Biden’s climate policies In a Day 1 executive order, President Donald Trump withdrew from the landmark climate accord. Additional orders on energy are expected.

On Day 1, Trump moved to withdraw the US from the Paris climate accord, “boost domestic fossil fuel production and reverse many of former president Joe Biden’s signature efforts to combat climate change and other pressing environmental problems.”
