What really works to tackle the climate crisis? Let's build confidence in what works.

We outline the six most promising approaches to reducing emissions and regenerating Earth. We also ask: why has the climate movement failed to make a real dent in emissions?

This part of Roger Hallam's "The Inevitable Revolution Is Underway" especially resonated with me.

A section of Roger Hallam's essay "The Inevitable Revolution Is Underway":

"Ask the Right Question

If we start by asking “What is to be done?” we risk repeating the old mistakes.

Instead, we must begin with:
“How shall we live?”

How do we make our lives beautiful, virtuous, loving — even as the world falls apart?

As Albert Camus wrote:

“True revolutionaries rebel because they are rebels.”

Not for the outcome. But because rebellion itself is an act of integrity."

🔴 OUT NOW

📢 69 NGOs call on the EU to deliver a Climate Law that rejects international carbon offsetting & Carbon Dioxide Removals (#CDR), commits to a full fossil fuel phase-out, and reflects Europe’s fair share of climate responsibility!

🔴 The EU’s updated Climate Law falls short of delivering the real solutions needed to reach real zero.

The new proposal rely on international carbon offsets and #CDR — approaches that undermine climate ambition and delay real emission cuts.

I think people who care about the planet and the climate should try to eat less beef, but I also try really hard not to sound scoldy or preachy about it. I save my scoldiness and preachiness for infuriating shit like this:

Nuclear fusion is already beating nuclear fission, despite the closest plant being 93 million miles away.

Jan Rosenow @janrosenow.bsky.social · Jun 23

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source.

In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up.
