The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same.

βThe effort to quiet Paris complements the wider campaign to make Paris greener, cleaner & less car-dependent, which include vehicle restrictions in the center, crackdowns on polluting vehicles, & an ambitious expansion of bike networks. Those have cut the cityβs average noise level by 2 decibels.β
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Has anyone seen or worked on a similar survey of climate change coverage by media outlets outside of the US?
βAttacking decentralized solar power installations is not economically rational. Missiles & drones are expensive & significantly disrupting such systems would require a large number of strikes, while the overall impact on the energy system would remain limited.β

Itβs the Renault 4E-tech, have heard some great things. And it looks good, too. π France extended its EV subsidy on select models through the end of 2026. Ours came out to just under β¬4000.
We bought a fully electric car today. π
βThis feat is a clear signal that electric mobility in Nigeria is practical, scalable and ready for adoption,β Falaye said.
It is simple economics....
"EV charging costs average about $3 for up to 200 kilometers (123 miles), compared with more than $15 in petrol costs for similar distances."
Thanks - I've since seen a few other references to mites as well. The bird really did look distressed. I was fairly close and it didn't even attempt to fly away, it just looking back and forth quickly and nervously.
Very nice!
For Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #branchbirds, an Eurasian Blackbird I spotted this afternoon in Nice. It's not uncommon for blackbirds to become bald, but this one clearly appeared in distress - unless his appearance lends the illusion of distress. Any idea on what might have happened to this bird?
Trumpβs corrupt efforts to prop up his polluting fossil fuel donors canβt change the direction of our clean energy future.
Quite an eye-opening video about the tech bros by the inimitable ClimateAdam. Watch it. youtu.be/py0XpKxAnNU
Even as elites abandon any pretense of giving a shit ... climate change is accelerating.
kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them
NEW: The EUβs reversal of the 2035 car CO2 target will create huge uncertainty in the EV market and could cause EV market share to fall between 50-95% by 2035 instead of 100%.
The proposal would also push car CO2 emissions 10% higher than under the current target.

We're winning.
A study by energy think tank Ember found that the EUβs electricity transition reached a new milestone in 2025 with wind and solar generating more power than fossil fuels for the first time.

Cool shot. Looks more like a lizard than a bird at first glance.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, taken today, this Common Chiffchaff fanning its feathers just before taking flight at the Parc Naturel dΓ©partemental Vaugrenier, Near Antibes, France.
A most excellent quartet!
Thanks - he was foraging on the other side of a small railing next to a playground and had to get this in case he decided to fly away. Turned out pretty well.
For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #ShortBeaks, here are a few shots of a House Sparrow with leucism snapped a few days ago in central Nice, France. Can someone point me to info about how common leucism is in sparrows? Or in birds around the Mediterranean? Thank you!

Appreciation post for Dr G, who seems to be carrying most of the weight of "yo, maybe we should still try to reduce fossil fuels" and "yo, maybe it's urgent to do that" on her back
