“By developing and investing in PSH capacity, we are helping more renewables to be added to the UK system, displacing expensive and carbon-emitting gas generation and ultimately speeding up the transition to a clean, carbon-free economy.”

„The world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for many climate risks, said Günther #Thallinger, on the board of #Allianz SE, one of the world’s biggest insurance companies. He said that without insurance, which is already being pulled in some places, many other financial services become unviable, from #mortgages to #investments.“ #climatechange #climatecrisis
Current instrument readings:
+1.60ºC March 2025 above preindustrial
+1.59ºC current 12-month running mean above preindustrial
~1.5ºC long-term heating above preindustrial
Given current emissions we are almost certain to cross 2ºC in the next 15 years.
We are on a highway to hell.

Imagine if Biden was golfing with foreigners lining his pockets while he sold them 5 million dollar gold cards for US citizenship, and he ignored this disaster emergency? Plus ignored the dead troops coming home? MAGA state propaganda media and traitor republicans would be freaking out.

"The outburst comes at a time when nearly half of NWS forecast offices have 20% vacancy rates after Trump administration job cuts – twice that of just a decade ago."

@Free_Press I sincerely do hope that all the cretinous magamorons are pleased that they continue to think that the climate crisis is a myth, or a commie plot run by left-handed trans librarians.
Scotland is burning in April, I think this year is going to be a bad one for this island....
My bad. If you blinked, you missed it.
Charles Coleman (in for Ayman Mohyeldin) was up next, led with #HandsOff demonstrations at opening, but quickly dropped it, sidetracking to the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Sickening. This is what the Dems did in 2014: they completely ignored the People's Climate March, failing to capitalize on the enormous political energy that it rallied & demonstrated was behind addressing the #ClimateCrisis.
No lesson learned.

2025 temperature still in record high levels, like 2024. Without #ElNinio.
Just a friendly reminder...
"A groundbreaking study led by scientists at MIT has confirmed that the Antarctic ozone layer is on a steady path to recovery, thanks to global efforts by populations to phase out ozone-depleting substances. While previous studies had suggested signs of improvement, this new research is the first to provide high statistical confidence that human intervention, as opposed to other influences such as natural weather variability or increased greenhouse gas emissions to the stratosphere.
The study suggests that the reduction of ozone depleting substances, called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), is indeed the primary driver behind the healing ozone hole. This finding is more than just good news for the ozone layer. It’s proof that coordinated global action can successfully reverse environmental damage, reinforcing the idea that we can make a difference in tackling climate change."

"However, the new administration, under Pete Hegseth, secretary of the department of defense, has stated several times it won't be focusing on climate change, in what appears to be a departure from the department's stance in the past.
A Pentagon spokesman, John Ullyot, told CNN that 'Climate zealotry and other woke chimeras of the Left are not part of' the department's core mission.
In March, Hegseth shared a post about those comments on X, stating the department 'does not do climate change crap.'
In a video, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the department was eliminating 'woke climate change' programs.
Since 2022, the U.S. military has been deployed to more than 170 climate-related events in the U.S. and other countries, according to a tracker kept by the Center for Climate and Security, a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit research institute."
