AI has delayed the planned retirements of at least 15 coal plants, some indefinitely: e360.yale.edu/digest/ai-coal-n…

The head of the 2nd largest utility company in the U.S. says: "We're going to extend coal plants as long as we can because we need those resources on the grid."

Climate Action Ting Funding boost!

Applications for Climate Action Ting are open now! The Highlands and Islands climate Hub look forward to engaging with Shetland communities to learn about their climate action ambitions.

Taken together, these results suggest that, had Britain deployed no wind power over recent decades and had instead relied more on gas, power prices could have been up to £49/MWh (67% i.e. two-thirds) higher in 2025 compared to if renewables had been rolled out faster

Analysis – new offshore wind farms could significantly cut power…

Renewables secured at today’s auction could have reduced gas generation by a third last year, further weakening link between gas and wholesale power prices.

Seit Tagen verbreiten die Behörden Alarm: Im Zuge des Sturmtiefs „Elli“ seien unwetterartige Schneemengen und Schneeverwehungen zu erwarten. Es wurden Schulschließungen empfohlen, die Bürger sollten das Haus nicht verlassen.

The oceans just keep getting hotter

For the eighth year in a row, the world’s oceans absorbed a record-breaking amount of heat in 2025.

"“What people often don’t grasp is that it’s taken 100 years to get the oceans that warm at depth,” he says. “Even if we stopped using fossil fuels today, it’s going to take hundreds of years for that to circulate through the ocean. We’re going to pay this cost for a very, very long time, because we’ve already put the heat in the ocean.”"

An enviro defense group reached out asking for my security take on using BigAI in activism work. After giving them the take (basically "don't"), I took liberty to talk about the ethics of using it in the first instance, especially in the context of human rights and climate activism.

Sharing here in case useful on the same grounds elsewhere.

In 2024 we emitted more greenhouse gases into our atmosphere in a single year than any year before it. The increase from 2023 was small—0.8 percent—but still, global emissions continue to rise, despite science telling us we should have bent the global emissions' curve downward by 2020

Five climate wins of 2025 that prove there’s still hope for the planet

Despite the influx of climate doom and irreversible damage, 2025 scored some pretty big victories for the planet.

I dont think most people realise. They expect something burned to be less after its burned.

Burning takes oxygen and adds them to carbon. The O2 part of CO2.

10 tons of oil becomes 47 tons of co2, more, larger than the carbon fuel.

And CO2 is "closed windows on a car in the sun"

Temperatures won't go down until CO2 levels fall.

They're still PUTTING CO2 IN THE AIR.

DEADLY FOOLS.
