🌍 What can we do as people to tackle climate change?

Too often, the answer is framed narrowly around consumption choices. These choices are crucial for mitigation, but they’re only part of the story.

We influence #climate change in many areas of our lives🧵

Trump, With Tariffs and Threats, Tries to Strong-Arm Nations to Retreat on Climate Goals

Because destroying the US is not enough, Trump is using tariffs, visa restrictions, and trade deals to pressure other countries to abandon climate goals and increase fossil fuel use, further destroying the world and the future.

Misleading U.S. Department of Energy climate report chooses bias over science, climate scientists say DOE report written by climate contrarians shares misleading information on climate change and excludes well-established evidence.

As for that infamous Trump administration DOE "climate report" that Judith Curry recently co-authored, here are some assessments from the experts

@giacgrassi.bsky.social‬ e @caserinik.bsky.social fanno a polpette il rapporto dei 5 negaioli per il DOE. Sono stati più veloci del solito, ma gli argomenti di quei "mercanti di dubbi... sono già stati più volte confutati anche su Climalteranti."

Calabria, quanto sei verde davvero? O del mito dell’autosufficienza delle rinnovabili attuali

"Nella mia regione X di rinnovabili ce ne sono già abbastanza"

Quante volte avete sentito questo luogo comune?

Nel post smonto questo mito per la Calabria, ma considerazioni simili valgono anche per altre regioni

Solar+storage is so much farther along than you think On how plummeting battery prices make 24/7 solar power a reality today.

Today on Volts: the sun doesn't shine at night, but if you add batteries it might as well! If you're not closely tracking the industry, you're probably not aware of just how cheap solar+storage is getting, and how quickly. I talk with the authors of a new Ember report about the good news.

Diluvio, un grande romanzo sulla crisi climatica Nel suo fortunato saggio La grande cecità, lo scrittore Amitav Ghosh aveva osservato come la letteratura contemporanea avesse ignorato o quantomeno sottovaluta

Un romanzo potente e disturbante sulla crisi climatica, che parla del nostro presente più di quanto vorremmo.

Sicily is so hot that the region has just issued an ordinance to suspend various types of agricultural and construction activities on hot days to avoid accidents at work. Essentially these activities will be off at 12:30-16:00pm until 31/8.

But let’s talk again how expensive climate mitigation is..

The political theory behind IRA was roughly as follows: We have lost control of the information landscape and can no longer win rhetorical or purely political battles; however, if we make substantive policy progress that directly touches voters' lives, they will notice and reward us.

The World’s Most Urgent Scientific Question https://wmo.int/news/media-centre/wmo-confirms-2024-warmest-year-record-about-155degc-above-pre-industrial-level There is no question more urgent than the one indicated by that red arrow in the graph...

Global average temperatures are spiking, rising faster than climate models seem able to explain, and in a sane world, every country would be united in a full-scale effort to figure this out & respond. Instead the US is dismantling its scientific infrastructure.

Denmark’s electric vehicle surge is just incredible. 🚗⚡️

Feb 2025: BEV 66.1%, PHEV 2.8%, ICE 31.1%

Trailing 12M: 54.4% BEV

➡️ Only Norway ahead now, Sweden 3rd.

⛔️ ICE extinction event incoming?

The internal combustion engine is pretty much over in Scandinavia.
