$3.1B annual cost estimated for fossil fuel plants DOE won’t allow to retire -- One coal plant owner reported it spent $29 million in the first 38 days of an Energy Department order to keep it online.

Pursuing Rapid Cost-Effective Climate Action in Building Decarbonization and in Dissemination of Climate Facts. All buildings can be Decarbonized now with the only barriers being Non-Technical! We also post at https://open.mit.edu/c/maca.

Good article on key Climate Action factor: A Restricted Climate Super Pollutant Is Pumped Out at Far Higher Levels Than Countries Admit. What Happens Next? insideclimatenews.org/news/2105202...
Fossil energy is going down ... finally!! Time for all to get on this boat and End #ClimateChange!

Boston requires all new buildings to be Net Zero Carbon by 2050 -- will force decarbonization into building design process. Bravo!!

Excellent article on Rapid Cost-Effective #Decarbonization planning by an expert alumni/student/faculty team to challenge #MIT to Fully #Decarbonize by 2035! /https://insideclimatenews.org/news/29012025/mit-decarbonization-thermal-energy-systems/ #RealClimateAction #ClimateAction
Sure, drill more oil ... exactly what the oil companies don't want. Have to love it for the stupidity at least! #EndFossil Now! www.theguardian.com/business/202...
We're still number 1!
Yay?
It’s the climate
Longer dry seasons and more intense wildfires are a direct consequence of climate change.
We must stop putting fossil fuel industry profits over the safety and security of our people.
This is what the climate crisis looks like. Our beautiful homes, luxurious cars, and money has no value on a dead planet.
There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Danger of Hydrogen as a fuel: "any hydrogen leaked to the atmosphere would reduce the amount of OH available to clean up methane, so the concentration of methane would increase" ... and thus Climate Change gets worse. And one cannot stop all H2 leaks. climate.mit.edu/posts/new-cl...
The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration.
The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.
Los Angeles is burning. Entire neighborhoods have been wiped off the map. We are devastatingly unprepared for the climate that fossil fuel greed is creating.

Announcing a ~$6B conditional commitment to @rivianofficial.bsky.social for their Georgia facility. The Georgia factory expand the production from the plant in Illinois and produce S.U.V.s that sell for about $45,000.

It's been a long time since I've posted an update to North Atlantic sea surface temperatures. It's remarkable how quickly "uncharted territory" gets normalized after the y-axis is extended.
Here is my version of Mauna Loa CO2 growth vs. NOAA's graphic of Mauna Loa CO2 growth, side-by-side.
The difference is that NOAA updates theirs once a year based on the 4-month average CO2 centered on January 1st, and I update mine monthly, based on the running 12-month average for CO2.
It's a #ClimateCrisis!! Wake-Up! Time for #RealClimateAction/#RapidClimateAction!

“No one government or one country can stop this transition because people see the economic advantages of this transition, because countries are being affected daily by the climate crisis. It’s the reality facing countries across the world.” #RealClimateAction!!
