ICYMI from @CoveringClimate and @ClimateCentral: “Press Briefing: "Virtually Impossible Heat" Driven by Climate Change” youtube.com/watch?v=sRkTaC…

In case you missed our latest science briefing, here is the recording from today: youtube.com/watch?v=gFb8Fq… We checked in on the latest global indicators, as well as discussed the ongoing record heatwave across the West and timing of spring from the National Phenology Network data

As the world enters the post-#COP30 era, climate action must move from pledges to people-centered solutions. For 🇧🇩, this is a critical moment to gender-responsive adaptation that empowers communities, youth, & women on the frontline of the climate crisis. #LocallyLedAdaptation

Thanks for proving how energy insecure oil is and how energy secure renewables powering electric vehicles are. There would be no need for an oil reserve or releasing 172 million barrels of oil to control oil prices in a clean, renewable energy world.

It's here! All power assets are now live on my GB Renewables Map ⚡ That's right, it's not just wind farms any more. Now you can see live and historic data for gas power plants, nuclear, grid batteries, biomass, pumped hydro and even a bit of solar. Wind farms are still the default for now, though you can enable as many or as few of the other fuel types and your selection will be remembered when you come back to the website. It's already live so go play for yourself here: renewables-map.robinhawkes.com There are numerous other updates as well: ⛔ Click the plug button to see a curtailment view, now including turn-up and a better visual representation of turn-down and turn-up actions ℹ️ Tooltips include loads more detail about fuel type and balancing actions ☢️ Each fuel type can be toggled using the map buttons 🧠 Map state is remembered when you reload or revisit the website ✨ Lots of new and under construction power assets are now on the map ↕️ Summary of balancing actions at the top of the map 🚦 Grid boundaries and constraints shown using a traffic light system And I'm only getting started! This update was the original goal of creating the map a few years ago. Now it's here I can shift focus to all the other ideas I have for it… Oh, and there's a new feedback button at the top. Please use it to let me know of any issues you find (there will be plenty) or suggestions to help improve this resource for everyone else. I'd also like to thank you for all the support and encouragement as I build this free resource in my free time (yup, this isn't my job). Honestly, it's been an incredible motivator and the discussions over the years have taught me a huge amount that has only made the map better for everyone. Until the next update!

This is an electric ‘flying water taxi’ @WEF It takes passengers across Lake Annecy in France for €9. The 5-seater is suspended above the water on hydrofoils. The service is running 8 times a day. #ClimateChange #ClimateAction

Battery pack storage costs for WindWaterSolar are dropping so low that they eliminate the argument for using fossil fuels or nuclear moving forward. Battery pack prices for stationary storage now down to $70/kWh in 2025, a 45% decrease in just one year. ess-news.com/2025/12/09/bne…
