We know it feels like the world is burning down, but the good news is UK coal use is at its lowest since, um London burnt down in 1666.
Overall emissions are now at their lowest since 1872!

A massive storm has hit the Argentinian port city of Bahia Blanca. Nearly a year's rain fell flooding streets and even the hospital.

13 are dead, as well as 2 girls- reportedly aged 4 & 1 who are missing after possibly being swept away by floodwaters.

For environment official Andrea Dufourg, the extreme weather event "is a clear example of climate change."

After all, the mixed-habitat solar farms we surveyed contained many of the features birds prefer (similar to nature-friendly farms in less intensively farmed areas). "

Solar on half the roofs in the world could supply all the power currently used on earth.

"Asia looks like the cheapest location to install panels, where – in countries like India and China – one kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity, or approximately 48 hours of using your laptop, can be produced for just 0.05p. This is thanks to cheap panel manufacturing costs, as well as sunnier climates."

In 2004, Wangari Maathai; the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize
💚 A fierce environmentalist, she founded the Green Belt Movement empowering women to plant over 50 million trees across Africa. 🌳👩🏾‍🌾

Her work wasn’t just about trees—it was about justice, peace, & the fight for democracy. She believed that a greener world meant a fairer freer one. 🌍✊🏾

Her legacy: When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace & hope.🌱✨

Activists from Climate Resistance disrupted a Tesla showroom in London until they were removed by security.

They later said on Musk's own xitter platform:

"Tesla showroom: occupied Elon Musk and the super-rich profit from poverty, torch the planet, and rig the system in their favour — it’s time to tax them out of existence and use that wealth to fund climate action.”

Quit Coal & Extinction Rebellion
In Netherlands succeeded in closing down part of ops.

Tata Steel is the largest CO₂ emitter and the largest nitrogen emitter in the Netherlands. Tata Steel also produces, emits and discharges large quantities of pathogenic substances, including lead, mercury, nickel, naphtalene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The incidence of lung cancer near the steel plant is 51% higher than the national average.

#ClimateAction is neither scary nor rad. This is what 2040 might look like..

Lower Meat consumption from 1kg to 780g
You probably won’t even notice.

Better infrastructure enables more people to choose public transport, cycling, or walking instead of driving

Old gas appliances replaced with electric ones.

A Heat pump outside will go un noticed definitely not for “heated” discussion.

Citizens’ panels see flying as a luxury in most cases, especially private jets.

Intense war and the destruction of the majority of a small country caused greenhouse emissions. Who would have thought?

"The emissions from the first 120 days of the Israel-Gaza conflict exceeded the annual emissions of 26 individual countries. This period saw intense military activity, including bombing raids, reconnaissance flights, and rocket attacks."

Military emissions are still not covered by the Paris Agreement.

"Already in 2023, air pollution related to powering U.S. data centers led to 360 premature deaths and total health costs of $5.6 billion across the nation, the researchers estimated. But those figures factored in just the average power-plant pollutant emissions."
