Today's thread. What Frightens Deniers. You can tell they're frightened when they get hysterical and into attack mode. 1. The IPCC.

The UK, a much larger country has only got 19GW of solar. Well done, NL.

We should all be watching the results of CfD7, which will probably be published no later than next Feb. This is the one that could get the UK a 95% decarbonised grid by 2030 if it works well.

This only affects coal and oil. It needs to be extended to tax fossil gas as well.

Of course the US objects to any meaningful action on plastics because they are owned by the fossil fuel industry. We should just leave them to stew in their own plastic mess and ban all new plastic products in the UK and Europe.

Astonishing to see that green ammonia is only 15% more expensive than grey ammonia. It will not be long before it is simply cheaper and it will rapidly displace another use of fossil gas. Excellent.

Only now that the toxic Tories are out of power are the brakes being removed from solar (and of course, onshore wind). The news in this article is good, but we need much more solar capacity, quickly.

Tragic.

Battery storage means more renewable penetration, less curtailment and therefore lower prices - good news for everyone.

We badly need some real scientists to push back on the fossil fuel-funded lies coming from the EPA and other US government departments. Here's an explainer from @hausfath about how his work has been misrepresented.

RT @B4r7_: Motherfucking wind farms…

We need to see how the plan to cope with seabirds will actually work. Assuming it goes ahead, it's a vast wind farm and we do need much more wind, together with more transmission from Scotland to England.

Good news, but I would never count biomass as renewable. Even so, it is clear that gas is on the decline and that will accelerate as more wind and solar come on line.

Renewables - esp in China - make staggering progress.

This article by @AndrewDessler is in response to @RogerPielkeJr . Excellent read: clear and simple. Makes the 'honest broker' look like a lying shill - what a coincidence.

RT @curious_founder: This chart has been making the rounds on social media. It suggests that renewables increase electricity prices. But….

India has the opportunity to cut costs as well as emissions and pollution. Solar, wind and storage are the key.

State of the climate from @CarbonBrief - excellent as ever.

Turkey sets a new temperature record. How will the elderly and the poor survive in this kind of heat, esp as it becomes more regular and long-lasting?.
