Human-caused climate change has far-reaching impacts on society and our environment.

Check out the latest report on birds by Climate Central: https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/birds-at-risk-2026 🐦

"Shorter winters, spring warming, and earlier first spring leaves can disrupt the annual cues that birds rely on to begin their migrations."

This is one of the most fascinating and under-appreciated figures of the recent IPCC report (Figure 6.16). It shows the effects of a single year of emissions after 10 and 100 years, and really illustrates the difference between stock and flow pollutants: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGI_Chapter06.pdf

NEW ANALYSIS: India's CO2 emissions in 2025 grew at slowest rate in more than two decades

International Energy Agency suggest immediate actions to reduce #oil demand, including: „Reduce highway speed limits by at least 10 km/h“

Germany: hold my beer.

NEW: Why does gas set the price of electricity – and is there an alternative?

Make yourself a tea (or grab a beer??) and enjoy my Friday longread on marginal pricing, ideas for market reform – & how to break the link btwn gas & power prices for good

Felt like the right time to update this chart....

Norway is at ~100% EVs for new sales, but 7 out of every 10km driven in 2024 was reliant on fossil fuels. Cars stick around for decades - so change is slow.

Protecting people from fossil fuel crises means EVs, yes, but *fast deep cuts* means huge $$ in public and active transport. Speed matters for both climate and cost.

(2025 data should be out in a month)

One of my predictions during our Climate Brink end of year wrap-up was that 2026 might be the first year where global clean energy investment exceeds global military spending.

Unfortunately with recent wars we will likely have to wait a few more years for it to occur: https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/when-will-clean-energy-spending-exceed

1/ #Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz: "Die Eigentümer wissen am besten, was in ihren Heizungskeller passt."

Mit dieser Argumentation könnten wir doch gleich noch ein paar andere lästige Regelungen streichen. Hier ein paar Vorschläge:
