Renewables are NOT REPLACING fossil fuels, they're ADDING to them.
As renewables grow, fossil fuel consumption and emissions are at record levels and still rising, and global warming is accelerating.
We're set to pass 2ºC warming by the 2030s.

@JessePeltan @AukeHoekstra Global fossil fuel consumption is at record levels and still rising.

Renewables are NOT REPLACING fossil fuels, they're ADDING to them. As renewables grow, fossil fuel consumption is also up, emissions are rising, and global warming is accelerating. We're set to reach 2ºC by the 2030s as Earth transitions to a much hotter climate state.

NEW | The world installed a record 814 GW of solar and wind capacity in 2025 ☀️⚡️ That's over 1,000 TWh of electricity generation per year... ...enough to displace nearly twice Qatar's annual LNG export volume in gas generation 🔥❌ Fossil fuels crisis? Wind and solar deliver.

England harvests in 2024 and 2025: "the production lost after extreme weather is the equivalent to 13% of the area used to grow wheat, barley and oats"

The neoliberal energy "transition" has already failed.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

Tim Garrett: "there may be fluctuations where we see little times where it looks like solar's replacing, but if it's actually enabling us to grow, we will ultimately demand more of energy of all kinds"

Now seems like a good time to remember that global fossil fuel consumption and emissions are at record levels and rising, and global warming is accelerating. Renewables are not replacing fossil fuels, they're adding to them. x.com/DrSimEvans/sta…

@TrisOsborneMP Assumption: Every kWh generated by renewables means less use of gas and fossil fuels.
Reality: Renewables are NOT REPLACING fossil fuels, they're ADDING to them.

Don't be fooled: renewables are NOT REPLACING fossil fuels, they're ADDING to them. Globally, 2025 saw record fossil fuel consumption and record emissions. Global warming is accelerating. Clean energy growth doesn't matter for climate if fossil fuel consumption is increasing.

The transition to a more energy secure future must be a priority if we are to reduce price / market volatility.

On Tuesday #wind generated 52.6% of GB electricity, more than gas 14.4%, nuclear 10.2%, imports 9.7%, solar 7.4%, biomass 5.6%, *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

@janrosenow The public is being misled with fantasies of a happy green future: renewables are not replacing fossil fuels, they're adding to them. Emissions are still rising and global warming is accelerating. x.com/DavidLWindt/st…

Carl Sagan: "nuclear war certainly will destroy the nations involved with a nuclear war, almost certainly will destroy the global civilization, and might just possibly destroy the human species."

@ClimateBen I wouldn't worry: one way or another fossil fuel consumption and emissions will keep rising.

If you feel helpless about the climate, consider this: none of the climate models factor in the deepening and irresolvable crisis of US imperialism, which is unfolding before our eyes and will undoubtedly lead to a major decline in fossil fuel use. Nothing will be better for the climate than the retreat and collapse of US imperialism.

A collapse of US imperialism with a major decline in fossil fuel use? Maybe. But models can't do clouds, aerosols, ice, or permafrost either. 2°C and rising is close. Solidarity!

Carl Sagan: "The main consequence of nuclear winter is massive agricultural failures. And many international study groups have now concluded that the net result in mass starvation can account for many billions of lives."
Ted Turner: "Well, there's only 5 billion. How many is many?"
Carl Sagan: "Well, hard to quantify, but you're absolutely right: it's a big fraction of the human community. And that's the long term effect. And the prompt effects, you know, you're going to kill many hundreds of millions, maybe 1 or 2 billion people in the direct consequence of a nuclear war.
"So it now appears that nuclear war certainly will destroy the nations involved with a nuclear war, almost certainly will destroy the global civilization, and might just possibly destroy the human species."

@janrosenow Note: electricity is <20% of UK’s final energy consumption,the other 80% is almost all fossil fuels. So in the 19yrs of your energy career we’ve cut the carbon intensity of one fifth of final energy use (electricity) by ~2/3, but the other 80% of energy remains largely unchanged.

BREAKING: 🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 US and Israel begin bombing Iran's gas infrastructure Iran produces an estimated 70-75% of its natural gas supply from the South Pars fields that was currently bombed, and it is estimated that 80% of Iran's electrical grid is powered by natural gas.
