NEW | Every @OECD country is now below its fossil peak – and the decline is going global 🌍⚡ For the first time this century, non-OECD fossil generation fell too. 🔗ember-energy.org/latest-insight… 🧵 1/6

‼️‼️ “Los riesgos y daños para la salud pública y el clima son reales y van en aumento" confirma una compilación (2023) de más de 2300 estudios internacionales en torno al fracking.

Building a coalition of the willing, breaking the deadlock, planning the transition without the blockers at the table…it hit me today that no matter what happens, Santa Marta is already a success. This conversation was unthinkable a couple of years ago. Overton window? Wide open theguardian.com/environment/20…

In a new major report, the World Bank conceded that its decades-long war on industrial policy was wrong, saying its old advice “has not aged well — it has the practical value of a floppy disk today.” But this is not an intellectual awakening. The World Bank's doctrine shifted because the means through which Western nations can maintain their dominance shifted — not because economists suddenly discovered new evidence. The world’s wealthiest nations are now pursuing industrial policy so openly that it can no longer be denied to the rest of the world. When the geopolitical winds shift, so does the ideology of institutions where wealthy nations' interests are deeply entrenched.

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.

@PeterVerovsek Excellent piece, not shying away from controversies nor allowing for cynical despair. Very poignant, too - especially the opening and closing theme of 'Unheimlichkeit'. Thanks Peter!

A bit late, but here is my remembrance celebrating Habermas and his work after his passing on Saturday. He will be missed, now more than ever socialeurope.eu/jurgen-haberma…

Since the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago, the world has lost one-third of its forests. Two billion hectares of forest land, an area twice the size of the United States, has been cleared. We cannot lose another acre.

WATCH: “The answer has to be a more progressive tax system. Give people the necessities of life for free — childcare, healthcare… the rich keep getting richer…” Lloyd Blankfein, Senior Chair of Goldman Sachs, out here sounding like @AOC & Bernie 👀 🎯 (From @bluegeorgia)

In just the last 20 years, beef production destroyed global forests the size of California, mostly in the tropics Through tree loss alone (not including methane or feed crop production), this caused 3x the annual CO2 emissions of the US It's the cow, not the how

There’s no better time to invest in urban #forests, city trees keep temperatures and energy costs low while improving air quality, water quality & mitigating the effects of the climate crisis like pollution and flooding.

You torture one animal in America, and it's a crime. You torture millions, and it becomes a business model and you're richly rewarded. Folks, we have to rethink the way we abuse livestock and poultry on an industrial scale.

😷💨| La contaminación industrial en Monterrey, con una población de 5.3 millones de habitantes, es tan alta que figura como el área metropolitana con la peor contaminación por partículas suspendidas de México, Estados Unidos y Canadá, de acuerdo con un estudio global reciente que analizó las tendencias hasta 2019. ➡️ quintoelab.org/project/identi…

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden. The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite. The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

Forbes just released its latest annual ranking of global billionaires. The pace at which extreme wealth is rising is simply staggering: The wealth of global billionaires now reaches the equivalent of 17% of world GDP. 🧵

If only there was a fast-scaling source of energy that can power cars without oil, is by nature distributed and doesn't need to be imported over and over again every time you want it...

Solar farms could increase global crop yields by hundreds of billions of pounds, thanks to the protective microclimate created beneath their panels. positive.news/environment/ag…

When the Secretary of War made these comments, about one in five people killed by Operation Epic Fury were elementary-age schoolgirls in the middle of a normal school day.
