It only took 469 days for us to NOT set a global sea surface temperature record for the respective day of the year.

I’m sure everything is normal now and climate change is a hoax again.

So is the new best approach for environmentalists to just give Clarence Thomas “gifts” so we can get a different ruling and not burn the planet down? Asking for 8,019,876,189 friends.

Shocking new direct air carbon capture technology that builds itself, costs a few dollars to start up and generally has no maintenance costs: 
Trees. 
Spread the word.

I think you need a better understanding of what a subsidy is… costs not borne by the firm are subsidies. Express subsidies (tax code/breaks/rebates) and implicit subsidies (externalities) are are costs not beared by the firm….

The proliferation of solar energy — despite fossil fuel companies & utility lobbyists best efforts — is unstoppable. Imagine what can be done if fossil fuel companies actually chose to invest in being part of the future instead of the most environmentally detrimental chapter in human history.

For the chart on the right, based on global GDP this is the break down of total subsidies/yr for the global fossil fuel industry:
 2024: 8.8726 trillion (T)
2025: 9.4359 T
2026: 9.9992 T
2027: 9.5625 T
2028: 10.1175 T
2029: 10.68 T
2030: 11.2525 T
 =69.92 T Craziness. Fund the solutions…

I have a crazy, ground-breaking idea: stop funding our own destruction. 
 Between 2015 - 2022 fossil fuels were subsidized $40 trillion dollars. 
 Projections for fossil fuel subsidies between 2024 - 2030 is ~$70 trillion dollars.
 Stop this insanity. Fund the solutions not our destruction.

In 1894, the 1st commercially viable EV, called the Electrobat, was on the road, quietly & cleaning shuttling people around. 
 The Electrobat was a 2,500 lb car propelled by a lead-acid battery that were swappable in just 3 minutes(!).
 Solutions have always been there..

It’s historic: Mexico has elected its first-ever female as President — Claudia Sheinbaum — in its 200 year history who is ALSO a climate scientist! Sheinbaum’s has a Ph.D. in energy engineering and has promised to invest nearly $14 billion in clean energy and boost electric buses and trains.

🚨 Breaking News! 🚨 Vermont will require fossil fuel companies to pay for their climate change damages!

This landmark law quantifies environmental damages stemming from fossil fuel extraction or refinement.

Maryland, Massachusetts & New York are considering similar measures too!

Limited user base, a soft porn site, a super small networks, and an app mainly used in workforces. You haven’t named a single social media app widely used by the public

Name one social media app that has subscriptions that has no advertizers. We’ll get popcorn and wait for that response. You’re either seriously misguided or perhaps delusional if you think user fees are going to prevent advertisers. If you don’t like advertisers, don’t use social media…

Please stop advocating for people paying to give social media apps immense value. The data alone pencils out, and people spend tons of time and energy putting out content and they capitalize on all of it. You, we, are the product. Don’t pay to be a product. Should be the other way around.

A new study shows renewables yielded $249 billion in climate & health benefits! These benefits (2019-22) is thanks to wind & solar increasing by ~55% in the U.S. The U.S’s use of wind & solar power cut its CO2 emissions by 900m metric tons = equivalent of taking 71m cars off the road every year.

Mass adoption of clean energy requires massive energy storage, and we’re getting closer! 👇🏼 Via a MIT spin-off company, we have thermal ceramic bricks capable of storing heat for DAYS 👀. These ceramic bricks can store heat at temps up to 1800 degrees Celsius for DAYS & then be converted to ⚡️

They can leak lubricants. So do oil wells. People only knit-pick the former and it’s ridiculous.

This is very promising #climate action with big results!

A company called Blue Visby Solution devised a way to cut vessel emissions by a median rate of 23.2% simply by being smarter about vessel speed & timing & eliminating inefficiencies.

There are definitely concentrate solar power plants. They heat up salts in column in the center of the solar panels. To the best of my knowledge the financials don’t pencil strongly however.

This, exactly. Energy storage is both critical and under-appreciated for the critical role it plays in the energy transition.

Actually grid demand is lower at night. There is a morning-time uptick in demand as people awake and get their day started. And then another longer uptick starting around 4-5pm until 11pm(ish). Below is a chart to help visualize this typical demand pattern. Hope this helps!
