"Geometry hates cars. If you multiply all of the journeys by the space that the car occupies in the road, by the amount of road that you need, by the distance that that pushes people apart because you have to build more roads, you are in a red queen’s race that you cannot win"

When I started working as a climate scientist back in 2010, the world had warmed by around 0.9C compared to the preindustrial (1850-1900) period. Today, 15 years later, we are at ~1.4C with no signs of slowing down...

April 2025 was the second warmest April on record (after 2024) in the ERA5 dataset, at around 1.51C above preindustrial levels:

These are doctors.

Something people are missing. The one constant about Donald Trump is that he eventually falls out with and dispenses with every senior ally. In four years time Elon Musk will not be in his camp. It's simply a matter of time.

Lol plenty of um but actually election denial in the replies.

Indeed. Everyone's get high on their own supply. The Republicans are going to overreach and mess up. They'll probably lose the House next time around. And likely the presidency after.

The world's solar industry employs as many people as gas Solar + EVs + batteries + wind combined employ as many as oil 3/7

"Les Automobilistes En Ont Marre"-leider Lucien Beckers in Brussel vindt (kinder)moordende "cartoon" amusant. Eén dag later wordt een jonge man in Parijs vermoord door de offline-versie van dit soort haat en agressie. Zo vreselijk triest.

Sans doute on verra que la circulation va améliorer ici pour 1 semaine et puis de nouveau les bouchons se formeront. Ensuite le bagnolards réclameront la réouverture aux voitures autres rues. On va entrer dans un circle vicieux.

Most of the tech bros have convinced themselves that the only reason nuclear isn't already dominant is that greens were mean to it. They have not bothered to research or understand the industry's long, rich record of graft, lies, & failure. So they're wandering into this shit ...

Religion poisons everything. There's no confusion here. The government is attempting to improve healthcare for girls and this atavistic, knuckle dragging crypto religious political party is deliberately and incidiously trying to hint that its doing something untoward

Uitstel LEZ kost € 19 miljoen *alleen al* aan emissierechten die Brussel zou ophoesten aan EU. Plus: pijnlijke factuur van extra gezondheidskosten. Dat is wat de coalition de pollution voorstelt. Er is nog tijd voor een onderhandeld tegenvoorstel. Groen blijft beschikbaar.

Next time someone complains about how much land is needed by solar, point out that powering entire US for all purposes with PV replaces 1.24% of US land used for corn ethanol and 1.3% of US land used by fossil industry with 0.7% of land used for PV, part of which can go on roofs.

Cars were a massive, historic mistake and tethering our national economy to their production is the single biggest barrier we face to progress and prosperity.

@Insan3gl0ss @NSicchieri They have been caught without competitive EVs in their lineup. So they have to make up a story for investors, and maybe also to slow down the transition. Sad.

Woah! New research shows how vital biodiversity is to thriving humanity: In US counties where bats declined from white-nose syndrome, insect numbers surged, leading to a 31% rise in pesticide use and subsequently *an 8% increase in infant mortality*! #Biodiversity #Conservation

Oh I don't know, I think that territory is actually very well charted

We have naturalised occupying public space with private cars for free to the point that people compare it to *breathing* in all earnestness 🤦‍♂️
