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

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.

Since Donald Trump took office, the U.S. government has been more aggressively boosting fossil fuels to exert geopolitical dominance. President Donald Trump stated unequivocally that the military assault on Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife are aimed at gaining control of the country’s oil reserves. Meanwhile, oil company shares are soaring, a dividend on the…

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

Mothers exposed to PFAS-contaminated water had 191% higher risk of their newborns dying within the first year of life, compared to mothers whose water sources were not downstream from contaminated sites.

Exposed mothers were also 168% more likely to give birth extremely prematurely (before 28 weeks of gestation) and 180% more likely to have babies with extremely low birth weights. #ClimateChange

“It is not as if there is an abundance of special envoys,” Dr. Olesen said. “So when one is appointed with the purpose of asserting control over #Greenland, it signals that Greenland is very much in focus at the highest level.”

…Danish ofcls & analysts said that while the #US has previously appointed envoys for the entire #Arctic region, Landry would be the first special envoy just for #Greenland.

Mikkel Runge Olesen, a snr researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies, described the move as a “significant escalation” by #Trump, who has threatened to acquire Greenland through a financial transaction or #military #force several times….

The appointment of a special envoy for #Greenland could put pressure on Howery, a former executive at #PayPal who is considered close to #Trump. In November, Howery dodged a question from journalists about whether the United States would ever take Greenland by #force, but he pledged cooperation.

The Danish government has twice this year summoned #US diplomats to complain about reports that the United States was spying & running a covert influence campaign in #Greenland. Earlier this month, in a first for the Danish government, Denmark’s #military #intelligence said that shifts in US policy were generating new uncertainties for Denmark’s security.

“We decide our future ourselves,” Nielsen said.

Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Denmark’s foreign minister, told Danish television on Monday that he was “deeply upset” by Trump’s announcement & that he planned to summon Ken Howery, who became the American ambassador to #Denmark in October.

“You cannot annex other countries,” #Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen & #Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a joint statement on Monday. “Not even by invoking international security. Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, & the #UnitedStates must not take over Greenland.”

Nielsen added in a statement on FB that the appointment “may sound big,” but “doesn’t change anything for us at home.”

It appeared to be the first time the #US had appointed a special envoy to #Greenland. That gives the territory — a gigantic frozen island inhabited by fewer than 60,000 people — something in common with the war in #Ukraine, the conflicts in the #MiddleEast, & a handful of other issues; #Trump has tapped someone close to him to manage all of these as priorities.

At first glance, it might look like the same, but it is not.
For decades, #BigOilNew, has been investing millions of dollars to deceive the public about the extremely adverse effect of their products regarding #ClimateChange and #MicroPlastics:

So, 2025 marks the first year that the three year global temperature average has exceeded 1.5C....

And still our political class fail to take the issue of climate change & ameliorative actions seriously in any other way the rhetorically.

Words are cheap, but our lack of cohesive & comprehensive action(s) on climate change are becoming potentially ever more costly (if not to us to the next generations, who we are betraying).

#ClimateChange #politics

@craignicol

That's *exactly* my point:
In a judicial system in which a single person can geht damages for injuries worth millions of💲, how is this possible?

#ClimateChange can be proven beyond reasonable doubt. Why is #BigOil not being sued on a massive scale?

@mmalc @SeanCasten

It is not only "examples." it is an evidence of a huge dysfunction of the #US judicial system that the likes of #ExonMobile have not been nationalized yet.

#BigOilKnew and have even been spreading false propaga about #ClimateChange for decades!
I'm therefore demanding to make them pay for the cumulative damages they've been causing to our #biosphere and humanity.
