Climate Reality

If you haven’t heard, COFFIS — the Coalition on Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Incentives Including Subsidies — is meeting in #SantaMarta through April 29. This isn’t just another conference. It’s a real chance to move forward with a process not shaped by fossil fuel interests - and actually committed to a global energy transition. We’ve heard the promises. Most governments have not delivered. That has to change in Santa Marta. That means making a real commitment to climate solutions and phasing out fossil fuels and subsidies supporting them. Use your voice to help make that hope a reality: clim.cc/Sign2PhaseOut #StopFossilSubsidies

We don’t need more climate conferences that go nowhere. We need leaders who commit to real solutions... and deliver results. That’s the hope for the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta. We don’t have time to wait. Or waste.

Shh...don’t tell the president‼️ SunZia wind started testing the largest clean energy project the US has ever seen, creating enough energy to support 3 million people in California and Arizona. Despite creating barriers for wind power, eliminating tax credits, and delaying permits, large cheap #cleanenergy is happening. eenews.net/articles/large…

Trump wants to increase oil and gas drilling projects in the Gulf of Mexico, threatening the protection of marine animals under the Endangered Species Act stating the need for...national security? When environmental protections are treated as optional, it sets a dangerous precedent, opening the door for more fossil fuel expansion at the expense of wildlife, communities, and climate progress. apnews.com/article/trump-…

When we rely on fossil fuels, we leave ourselves vulnerable to energy and economic insecurity. A small number of countries control much of the world’s oil supply, and many of them coordinate through groups like OPEC (the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) to control prices. When war occurs, can you guess what happens? Prices start to look like this: While gas & oil supply drops like this: There’s a path to energy security. It’s called clean energy.

Yes, we’re facing a global energy crisis. It’s impacting our homes beyond out of hand fuel prices. Even the cost of food is getting expensive. Fossil fuels make the cost of living go up. Thankfully, there’s a way out of this financial pressure. The next time you hear about the energy crisis, remember this: “This is the first energy shock where clean energy is not a moral or long-term bet, but the cheapest and fastest way for low- and middle-income countries to protect macroeconomic stability, food security, and fiscal space.” rockefellerfoundation.org/perspective/an…

“The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas estimates that with data center electricity demand expected to double in the next five years, wholesale power prices could rise by as much as 50 percent.” It’s no secret that it takes a lot of energy to power AI. Where are data centers getting power from? Often from their own dirty power stations, fueling the climate crisis. Right now, their high energy demand puts strain on the grid, which contributes to increasing prices. Prices that we pay for. grist.org/accountability…

🚨 “Governments will gather in Colombia on 28-29 April for a conference to begin a global transition away from oil, gas and coal. Critically, the First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels will not be governed by UN rules, which require consensus, but by majority rule, thus preventing a handful of countries from sabotaging progress as petrostates did at COP 30.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The sun is out. There’s a nice breeze outside. The snow is finally melting. Spring isn’t only the season of rebirth. It’s the best season for clean energy! Last March was the first time fossil fuels powered less than half of the US. Let’s build on that momentum this spring and see clean energy power even more of the country! canarymedia.com/articles/clean…

Hot new trend alert: Balcony solar panels ☀️ At a time when energy bills are rising, solutions like balcony solar can help people save money and take more control over their energy use.

Add to the long list of dangers of a world powered by fossil fuels: Threats to the fertilizer that helps feed billions. “The fertilizer shortage is putting the livelihood of farmers in developing countries – already troubled by rising temperatures and erratic weather systems – further at risk, and could lead to people everywhere paying for more food.” apnews.com/article/iran-w…
