The Renewable Illusion: Why Fossil Fuels Keep Winning Global renewables hit records in 2024, but fossil fuel use still rises. Hereโ€™s why solarโ€™s surge isnโ€™t enoughโ€”and what the latest energy data really shows.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.๐Ÿงต

Videos of emaciated hostages condemned as Red Cross calls for access Hamas said it would allow Red Cross access if humanitarian aid corridors were opened into Gaza.

Uhhm....what about the thousands of emaciated Palestinians?

Do this idiots not understand that Israel is intentionally causing mass famine?

Do they seriously expect hostages to be well fed whan no-one else is?

Just bonkers

In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life.

Wait, sorry, no. That's Alabama.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "Today is Ukrainian Air Force Day. It is a day of gratitude to each and every one who repels russian attacks and destroys enemy aircraft, missiles and drones. Striking the front lines from the air. To everyone who fights against russian terror every day and every night.

I do try to pass on any hopeful climate change news like the massive investment by China in solar energy - but as all climate watchers, know the prognosis is dire - and only extreme coordinated government anti fossil fuel action will make the slightest difference

After every big Russian attack , after the destruction - this comes: people bringing flowers, to mourn lost lives, lost homes, boarding up windows , trying to find whatโ€™s left of what was their lives,

The other day, I visited an exhibition that left me speechless.
It shows women who lost their sons and husbands in the war.

Iโ€™m sharing part of it with a poem that played during the video.
I added English subtitles. For you.

Please watch. And share. So others can see too.
