NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

Trumpβs Renewables Permitting Thaw Is Also a Legal Strategy
The administration has begun shuffling projects forward as court challenges against the freeze heat up.
Scoop: Iβve learned the solar permitting thaw is real, according to documents I can exclusively report.
Contrary to what MAGAworld and beltway pundits want you to think,
Itβs probably a maneuver for Trump to avoid losing in federal court.

A country coming apart: US-Israel war pounds Iranian life
The US-Israel war began over Tehran on Saturday and spread, city by city, into a sustained assault on civilian infrastructure, military sites, and daily life.

At the Heartland Institute event, Morano expressed delighted βshockβ over the βflips on climateβ of tech moguls Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, the founders of Amazon and Microsoft respectively, whose companies have abandoned once-ambitious climate promises as they confront the skyrocketing energy demands of their AI businesses.
Gates, whose foundation has donated millions of dollars to a think tank run by climate crisis denier Bjorn Lomborg, published a controversial memo in October arguing that climate change βwill not lead to humanityβs demiseβ and advocating for ending climate funding in favor of direct humanitarian aid.
Microsoft and Amazon, which have donated large sums to Trump, have both recently embraced fossil-fuel powered AI data centers alongside Trump energy officials and fossil fuel industry players.
In early February, Bezos, who is also the owner of the Washington Post, slashed at least 14 reporters from the venerated paperβs climate desk. Just weeks later, the Post published an editorial board opinion, βEPA is right to reverse Obama overreach,β praising Trumpβs repeal of the endangerment finding.
Morano noted that overall, journalists have been reporting less aggressively about Trumpβs fossil fuel agenda. βWhen you have Lee Zeldin, the EPA chief, calling climate a cult, a scam, religion, he doesnβt even get push-back from reporters,β Morano said.
During Trumpβs first term, by contrast, environmental officials like Scott Pruitt, who led the Environmental Protection Agency from February 2017 to July 2018, βwould have to be very careful on climate,β Morano said. Otherwise βthey would be beaten and browed by the media.β
No one is happier at the 'don't mention climate' thing than the absolute worst climate deniers

The fate of fossil fuel systems in the "mid-transition"
I talk with Emily Grubert about the hidden dangers of letting the free market manage the decline of our legacy energy infrastructure.
thanks to @volts.wtf for having me on to talk about coordinating and planning fossil phase out to build a better and actually decarbonized world. thereβs a lot we can do if we imagine a people-centered, service oriented future β and a LOT we miss if we donβt.

Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the environment. Whereβs the pushback?
Climate deniers expected more resistance to the fossil fuel blitz. But Democrats, billionaires and activists have gone silent
"'Democrats in Congress have been silent...There has been no pushback on this,' Morano said."
Why is longtime climate denier Marc Morano is happy that Democrats have stopped talking climate? As I told The Guardian, because it helps the Trump regime. Obviously.

E&E News: The oil island that could break Iran
President Donald Trumpβs allies are urging him to take control of a small spit in the Persian Gulf that controls nearly all of Iranβs oil exports.
See this island? It's a 5-mile strip of land known as Kharg Island, and it's home to Iranβs most important oil facility, an export terminal in the Persian Gulf that handles up to 90% of the nationβs crude.
I bet that Trump is going to try to seize it.

Republicans have begun previewing the attacks they'll wage against Talarico if he wins the March 3 primary, highlighting comments he's made in the past calling God
"nonbinary," arguing that the Bible sanctions abortion and stating that Christianity merely
"points to the truth" along with other religions.
Talarico is holding firm.
"So, what I would say is that the only minority destroying this country is the billionaires," he continued. "Trans people are one percent of the population. Undocumented people are one percent of the population. Muslims are one percent of the population. We are all focused on the wrong one percent. Trans people aren't taking away our health care. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. Muslims aren't cutting taxes for themselves and their rich friends. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians."
Iβm not sure thatβs the right read here? Talaricoβs economics are arguably more left than Crickettβs and his cultural politics are left too.
