Not The End of the World @_HannahRitchie's radically hopeful, bestselling book is out in paperback today! We took to the streets to find out how much the average person really knows about climate change. Can you tell the truth from the myths?

📚🇬🇧 Very happy to see my book coming out in paperback in the UK today! It looks at 7 of our big environmental problems (not just climate) and charts the journey of how we got here, progress that has been made (yes, there has been some) and importantly, what we need to do next.

Excited to be starting on a new project this week – focused on clean energy & dismantling delays in tackling climate change ☀️💨 I’ll be working on that in addition to my full-time roles, so I'll be away from here for a bit. See you on the other side! Keep decarbonising!

I often get the question of whether it's individual or systemic change that matters in tackling climate change. It's both! Individual choices can shape markets and prices and send signals to governments. https://t.co/bUJ3zgY5cM

For the first time, Scotland produced more renewable electricity than total overall consumption. New statistics show renewable technologies generated the equivalent of 113% of Scotland’s electricity usage in 2022. This is the highest recorded to date. ℹ️ https://t.co/srCsvEJZca

217 GW solar and 76 GW wind added in China in 2023! Also 55 GW thermal (coal and gas, with a bit of biomass).
☀️🇨🇳 China boosted its Solar power capacity by 55% in 2023 (+216.88 GW) to 609.49 GW Data from National Energy Administration released on 26 January (Note the 216.88GW are for installations >6MW, so actual solar additions might be even higher)

As battery #ElectricVehicles sales in Norway reached 82% market share last year, it's remarkable how predictive this simple model ended up being.
Battery electric vehicle sales in Norway reached an extraordinary 54% in 2020! What happens if we fit a logistic growth curve to the data? For what it's worth, here it is - the trend points toward 99% by 2030. https://t.co/I5sGzYfBt1

The curious case of a misleading story in the Sunday Telegraph and how it is being pushed towards becoming accepted truth. Our good friends in Net Zero Watch seem determined to turn this into an ongoing story, so it’s time to debunk. 🧵
FACTCHECK: HIGHLY MISLEADING This frontpage story in the Sunday Telegraph misleads by omission - it leaves out some crucial details: The "single year" was stress-tested with data for the worst recent wind yr & an artificial worse-than-has-ever-happened wind drought+high demand

@IEA It expects a drop in coal output in China. But still strong coal growth in some countries, such as India (although renewables also going strong).

The @IEA's Electricity 2024 report is out today. It expects clean power – nuclear and renewables – to cover all extra electricity demand over the next 3 years. At a global level (not in every country). https://t.co/DyTmT2raif

Pretty amazing finding - new analysis from Scotland shows NO CASES OF CERVICAL CANCER in women vaccinated at 12 or 13 years of age. The HPV vaccine has been remarkably effective. Exactly what was expected, but nevertheless fantastic news. https://t.co/d08Ps0CFuJ
