Happy to have contributed to this new book on the promises and perils of AI for the scientific community. My excitement about the potential of AI in climate communication is still greater than my concerns. A big 'thank you' to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania for bringing us all together.

By the time Sizewell C is built, peer reviewed published research reports the nuclear station will almost be entirely cut off by climate driven sea level rise storm surge at least once per year.

I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.

Over the last few years, average grocery costs have increased by 25.1%, while shelter and utilities costs have increased 33.9%. Some estimates suggest that climate change is costing U.S. households roughly $400 and $900 a year. time.com/article/2026/06/11/…

España tiene claro el camino: electrificación, energías renovables y autonomía energética. Desengancharnos de los combustibles fósiles no es solo una apuesta climática: también es una apuesta por nuestra soberanía y nuestra competitividad.
Y esa transformación necesita de más inversión en interconexiones y en descarbonización.

You can now drive an EV from London to Barcelona on a single charge. Think about that: CATL just unveiled a battery with a 1,500km range that charges in 6 minutes
That's:
>Faster than a coffee break
>Longer than almost any petrol tank
>The final nail in the "range anxiety" coffin
The fossil fuel dinosaurs and their media puppets are still out there peddling the lie that EVs aren't ready for prime time. They are lying to you to protect their dying profits.
The technology is here. The economics are settled. The electrification of everything is accelerating

Energy disinformation is the new climate denial.
New interview with @wblau of @BrunswickGroup on why Europe is underestimating electrification, overestimating hydrogen & arguing about scarcity when alternatives are abundant.

Europe underestimates the advantages of rapid electrification, overestimates hydrogen & nuclear, and argues over energy scarcity when alternatives are available.
My interview with @janrosenow , Professor of Energy and Climate Policy at Oxford University:

There are moments in life one cannot quite prepare for. Since my childhood, I have identified deeply with the United Nations and its promise. I am eager to get to work with Simon Stiell and the UN Climate Change team, UNFCCC.

The final report on the Iberia Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) blackout is out.
A lot of people will be blaming renewables and talk about inertia. But the cause was bad voltage control and that's surprisingly easy to fix. Let me explain.

A widespread transition to renewable energy could mitigate a major cause of international conflict in a future that moves away from fossil fuels, energy and climate change experts told ABC News.

I do rarely say something is a must-read.
But this thorough investigation by @arusbridger certainly is.
If @lisanandy and Ofcom don't do anything now, they are complicit in letting the UK media landscape slide towards a lawless propaganda world like in the US.
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION: don't miss this important @TheNewWorldmag report by editor-at-large Alan Rusbridger into GB News and Ofcom's dismal failure to regulate its broadcasts

1/ Global events demonstrate the need to go further and faster in our drive for clean power, because there can be no energy security while we are so dependent on fossil fuels.
That’s why we’re accelerating our clean power mission.
