Apparently it still needs saying that the UK's economy has continued to grow, even as CO2 emissions have fallen

I'm wondering if right now we are becoming more divided by the very social media platforms meant to connect us—driven by our political beliefs that seem to guide us toward different platforms, reinforcing our perspectives rather than challenging them

Reminder that when things are getting attacked it is not the moment to retreat, grow complacent, or to let fear consume your thoughts. The energy transition isn't just about technology; it’s about people & building a future where care & justice guide our choices. Together we can make lasting change.

The term “climate subrogation claims” will soon be entering the public lexicon.
“…in which the insurer files lawsuits against third parties [fossil fuel companies] that caused the damage to recover what it paid out to its customers…”

Who should pick up the tab for the billions of dollars in damages from these deadly fires in LA? The fossil fuel industry who lied about climate change for decades, that's who.

This indeed merits attention by our non-German audience as well: The recently-fired minister of finance, campaigning for the (unlikely) survival of his party in the February elections, openly proposes the closure of the German Federal Administration for the Environment. Cynical populism.

Stattdessen fordert er "Behörden, die ermöglichen und erleichtern“ - also reine Abnickbehörden für seine neuen ultraliberalen Kurse. Untragbare Position.

We now have a clear sense of Trump’s new energy and environmental agenda. It is uninhibited, focused on locking in long-term demand for oil and gas, and willing to run roughshod over Congress’s constitutional powers in order to assert dominance. My first thoughts: heatmap.news/politics/tru...
