The world has warmed by around 1.4C since 1850.

It took 148 years for the first half of that warming to occur, and just 27 years for the second half!

1/ 🔌🚗 Neue Zahlen zu Elektroautos: #Elektromobilität #BEV
▶️ Im April 2026 war gut jedes vierte neu zugelassene Auto in Deutschland rein batterieelektrisch (25,8%).
▶️ Damit hat sich der positive Trend der letzten Monate fortgesetzt.
▶️ Das verbesserte Modellangebot und die neuen Kaufprämien dürften sich positiv auswirken.

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

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

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)
