I was live on @BBCnews last night talking about the language of #climate change. Here's a thread of short clips. First, I was asked to address what we call it: #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #GlobalWarming Great to talk with @bbcdavideades!

My discussion of the imminent second Trump presidency and its implications for the global climate fight, with references to the Fermi Paradox, Rod Serling, The Planet of the Apes and The Lord of the Rings, via @BulletinAtomic: thebulletin.org/2024/11/welc…

Welcome to the American petrostate

I’ve long said that the obstacles to stabilizing warming below catastrophic levels aren’t physical or technological; they are entirely political in nature, and political obstacles can be overcome....

Latest NASA global temperature data. Earth has never been hotter since Homo sapiens discovered agriculture in the early Holocene. Likely even since 120,000 years ago. Fossil coal, oil and gas emissions caused it. We need to stop making it worse. Yes, we can if we want to. 🧵

So Trump has gone from claiming that tariffs don’t raise prices to claiming that tariffs on imported food will make groceries cheaper. Coming next: tariffs will make you lose weight without dieting or exercising.

So put your shoulder to an oar! Help us power the boat of civilization through the rapids of climate change. All of humanity shares the same boat, and you have the opportunity to make your own unique and valuable contribution to the effort (try the @KHayhoe suggestions!) 25/25

As Susan Hassol (@ClimateComms) says, “This is the fight of our lives, and it’s a multigenerational task. We need what’s been called ‘cathedral thinking.’ That is, the people who started working on that stone foundation, they never saw the thing finished." 20/25

Climate change will inevitably stop being a hazy future concern and will someday turn everyday life upside down. At the risk of causing counterproductive doomism, I offer observations and speculations on how the planetary crisis may play out. 1/25 yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

When will climate change turn life in the U.S. upside down? » Yale Climate Connections

Intensifying extreme weather events and an insurance crisis are likely to cause significant economic and political disruption in the U.S. sometime in the next 15 years.

For the umpteenth time: Big Oil are running a massive, multi-billion dollars multi-year mis- and disinformation campaign to slow down decarbonisation and accelerate climate breakdown Western governments aren’t doing much about it, while Big Oil continue to line up their pockets at the cost of everyone’s future - and don’t give a sh*t theguardian.com/environment/… #climate #facts

Like Vice President Harris, Governor @Tim_Walz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim and Gwen, their family, and our country.

Good morning with good news: EVs in Norway were 94.3% of sales in July, record high! BEV were 91.9% & PHEV 2.4%. That compares with 81.7% BEV & 8.1% PHEV in July 2023. EV were 50% of sales in China in June. When will EV reach 94% in China? By 2030? Credit @cleantechnica

Our statement on Donald Trump backing out of the debate he already agreed to
Statement on Donald Trump backing out of the debate "Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. Не needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The Vice President will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience. We're happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to. Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he's too scared to show up on the 10th."

In an unprecedented move Ethiopia became effectively the first country in the world to ban the import of internal combustion engine vehicles. That ban was not some futuristic target for 2030 or 2035. It was an immediate ban on the import of ICE cars. cleantechnica.com/2024/07/31…

Ethiopia Says ICE Vehicle Import Ban Continues As Part of New Economic Reforms, Only EV Imports...

Imports of fully-built electric passenger cars and three-wheelers were not affected by the ban, and hence encouraged. This, coupled with an earlier policy that reduced import duties and taxes levied...
