The homes of a quarter of the animals that live in our oceans. Gone forever. We should grieve & know that these tipping points are gonna fall like dominoes. Now is not the time for โcarrying on as normalโ. All our homes are at risk.

400 MWh of grid forming sodium-ion batteries. Great to see this potentially cheaper alternative to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries taking off! Still more expensive ($160/kWh for the entire system) but that will change. https://t.co/AOZiR6GVou

Putting people first and seeking equity helps prevent abuses of power like polluting oil and gas industries that leave the population to "pick up the costs". (healthcare impacts, erratic weather, drought. etc.)

1ยฐC of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1ยฐC. Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4ยฐC warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.

To fight the pollution that causes climate change we need clean electricity and we need to "electrify everything" that we can. Look how rising fuel costs drove up electricity prices in 2024 for the EU. "burning gas" isn't cheap and is subject to price volatility
๐ช๐บ EU gas prices rose by 59% in 2024 to nearly DOUBLE its pre-crisis levels ๐๐ถ Supplier volatility is also at an all-time high amid geopolitical instability, exposing the risks of overreliance on imported fossil fuels ๐ฉ https://t.co/L3CwTEZAh5

#Renewables, like wind and solar, are already the CHEAPEST sources of electricity globally and have been shown to help drive down power bills in Alberta and the U.S.

When you see someone speaking truth to power. Listen, boost them. Take note. Climate justice won't happen in isolation. We're all in this together.
Why don't we discuss the fact that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Larry Ellison own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans? Part of the answer is that the people who own the media are doing phenomenally well. They aren't interested in highlighting massive levels of inequality.

Put these 2 together and itโs clear our governments are totally failing us. 1๏ธโฃ 1,700+ fossil fuel lobbyists at the COP29 climate talks. 2๏ธโฃ UN says the fossil fuel industry is running โa massive mis- and disinformation campaignโ to delay the transition to clean energy. Links ๐

There are 28 fossil fuel lobbyists from ๐จ๐ฆ at #COP29Baku. Iโm quite sure that number doesnโt include the biggest Canadian booster of coal, oil and gas on site - Alberta Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz. I canโt believe weโre having this conversation in 2024. @CAPE_ACME

Canadaโs 106% tariffs now blocking Volvo and Tesla electric vehicles from China. However Ford and GM continue not to be blocked brining on gas vehicles from China. How can the Canadian government justify this double standard in favor of polluting vehicles, in these times of
