"The UK's Stunning Grid Flip From Coal Giant to Clean Energy Leader (feat. @JustHaveaThink)" [19:40 min]

"Apr 27, 2025
This autumn, for the first time ever, the UK is expecting to run entirely on zero-emissions electricity for a few hours. That doesn’t just mean a sunny day with loads of solar and wind and some exports to the neighbours—that’s happened before. But even during those times, gas power was still online, helping keep the grid stable.
This time, the goal is no gas, no coal, no oil—and no electricity imports. Just clean, homegrown electricity. It’s a big milestone—and a taste of what a fully zero-emissions grid could look like.
40 years ago, coal made up three-quarters of the UK’s electricity. Even 15 years ago, it was still mostly fossil-fuelled, but with gas instead of coal.
So how did they get from that… to here? And what would it take to go from a few hours of clean electricity… to 24/7/365? And beyond electricity—what else needs to happen to get to a fully zero-emissions economy?
To help me understand how the UK pulled this off—and what’s next—I’ve brought in some local expertise: David Borlace, from @JustHaveaThink."

This is our weather on fossil fuels: Two weeks update 10.-24. April 2025
Rich countries are dragging their feet on producing new plans to combat the climate crisis, thereby putting the poor into greater danger.
All governments are supposed to publish new plans this year on cutting greenhouse gas emissions, but so far only a small majority have done so, and some of the plans submitted have been inadequate to the scale of action needed.

The NSW coast - Bird-free concrete blocks surrounded by lawns
"A track takes us into a small area of regenerating coastal rainforest, where lilly pillies are growing, and the air is filled with the sounds of birds, frogs and insects. Flannery says this is an example of coastal protection done right. The forest was saved from development after a long-running campaign by traditional owners, the Dharawal people."
"We exit the beach via stairs that lead to a manicured grass area, bike path and a row of large houses. Flannery is unimpressed. Unlike at his home, there is no bird habitat and, unsurprisingly, no birds. "This is not my thing. This is just concrete blocks surrounded by grass. To my mind, it’s as boring as batshit.”

In this vlog, Adriana joins our two new volunteers, Ben and Morgan, as they get started teaching English for rural Kichwa community in the Yasuni region."
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
We are embarking on a new journey. To help protect the most biodiverse place on Earth.
Our new project, led by our own team of biologists, will aim to protect and restore rainforest in the buffer zone of the Yasuní National Park. Located in the Amazon region of Ecuador, this rainforest is home to the highest concentration of species on the planet.
We have laid the cornerstone by purchasing 209 hectares of forest that borders the national park, securing its protection and establishing a base for our project. Together with members of the local community and local experts, we will develop solutions to stop forest degradation and kick-start forest regeneration in the area."

Those concerned about #climatebreakdown being portrayed as having been radicalised by a still male dominated media is a way of stifling what traditionally may have been belittled as maternal concern.
Carbon majors and the scientific case for climate liability
Will it ever be possible to sue anyone for damaging the climate? Twenty years after this question was first posed, we argue that the scientific case for climate liability is closed.
Here we detail the scientific and legal implications of an ‘end-to-end’ attribution that links fossil fuel producers to specific damages from warming. Using scope 1 and 3 emissions data from major fossil fuel companies, peer-reviewed attribution methods and advances in empirical climate economics, we illustrate the trillions in economic losses attributable to the extreme heat caused by emissions from individual companies. Emissions linked to Chevron, the highest-emitting investor-owned company in our data, for example, very likely caused between US$791 billion and $3.6 trillion in heat-related losses over the period 1991–2020, disproportionately harming the tropical regions least culpable for warming. More broadly, we outline a transparent, reproducible and flexible framework that formalizes how end-to-end attribution could inform litigation by assessing whose emissions are responsible and for which harms. Drawing quantitative linkages between individual emitters and particularized harms is now feasible, making science no longer an obstacle to the justiciability of climate liability claims.

Dr. Emily Schoerning focuses on the Northeast: sea level rise, hot season increase, and deluge-type rain. Much of the Northeast has great cool summer preservation, which offsets some of the region's anticipated water-related challenges. Alongside major infrastructure challenges, there's enormous resilience potential in this region.

"Great information on aerosol-cloud interactions [...]and charge separation in storm systems."
(For the record: Yes, less aerosol means less clouds, affecting the albedo, but NO, we can't put back the sulfur in the ship fuel, and yes that crap has detrimental health and environmental effects.)

In the face of one of the world’s largest refugee crises, Chad is taking a bold and unexpected approach.
Instead of temporary shelters or short-term aid, the Chadian government is providing land, giving over 1 million refugees the opportunity to grow food, build livelihoods, and contribute to restoring degraded ecosystems.
This initiative isn’t just humanitarian, it’s ecological and economic.
Refugees are using water harvesting techniques to help regenerate drylands, contribute to the Great Green Wall of Africa, and transform barren landscapes into productive farms.
Could this be a new model for global refugee response?

Irvin Rivero is the E-Mobility Associate at Acterra, whose work is engaging and educating local community members about the benefits of electric vehicles to accelerate the use of clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, and lower air pollution caused by conventional combustion vehicles. Through multilingual Acterra events and workshops, Irivin educates community members about clean energy incentives and shares financial resources and opportunities offered by local government and energy providers to increase the adoption of electric vehicles. Upgrading appliances, buildings, and vehicles to those that operate on clean energy instead of fossil fuels is a meaningful way to invest in climate resilience and reduce emissions. Irvin shares, "At Acterra, we focus on local climate solutions. If we can change a community by reducing carbon emissions, it's part of the solution for the whole planet." When speaking about the "doom" we may feel about the climate crisis, something that helps Irvin feel more hopeful is the power of collective action to address climate change, which starts at the individual and community level before building momentum to deliver a much bigger impact."
"The San Francisco Bay Area – home to nine counties, more than 100 cities and towns, and over 7 million people – exemplifies climate leadership, environmental justice, and innovative renewable technologies. It is a model for how cities, residents, organizations, and businesses can work together to respond to the intensifying regional impacts of climate change, from heat waves and wildfires to flooding and rising sea levels. As a global hub of diversity, culture, and technology, the Bay Area has enormous economic, social, and political power to address climate change in ways that ripple across sectors and the world. The land known as the Bay Area is the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Native homelands of the Muwekma Ohlone, Chochenyo, Karkin, Ramaytush, Yokuts, Miwok, Southern Pomo, Kashaya, Patwin, and Mishewal Wappo."

The overwhelming majority of people in the world – between 80% and 89%, according to a growing number of peer-reviewed scientific studies – want their governments to take stronger climate action.
But at least for now, this global climate majority is a silent majority.
The current mismatch between public will and government action amounts to a deficit in democracy.
