New Global Tipping Points report from Lenton et al is out.

I haven't had a chance to digest all of it, but reading through the summary recommendations, it strikes me that the concept of 'tipping points' is needed for for very few of them --

Complicated feelings about 👇, 1st world climate adaptation issues, as we have 3 local ski hills here that face obsolescence due to climate change.

It’s amazing to think that very soon California could be a massive exporter of solar electricity, not just an incidental few GW for a few hours, and those effects will be felt profoundly all the way north in WECC to BC & Alberta.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

The utter absurd assumption that economic growth will continue as «before» - even in a world of 4C of global warming - just gets wilder the more you think about it.

Tiden för klimatet är svår. Donald Trump stoppar färdigbyggda solparker och i Sverige stiger koldioxidutsläppen. I det läget framstår EU:s klimatpolitik som ett slags sista hopp. Men nu måste medlemsländernas politiker också stå upp för den, skriver SMB:s krönikör Filip Johnsson.

For so long, fossil fuel projects have said their contribution to climate change is "negligible".
Turns out that's wrong.

When the power went out in Spain this spring, many theories about the blackout centered around renewable energy. A new expert panel report contradicts the narrative that too much solar and wind was to blame. www.npr.org/2025/10/08/n...

After Spain's blackout, critics blamed renewable energy. It's part of a bigger attack

When millions lost power in Spain and Portugal this spring, some were quick to blame too much solar and wind power. That wasn't the cause, but the misinformation had an impact.

Politicians do all they can to not talk about this, to not take responsibility. Downing Street has vetoed the release of the assessment. Instead, they focus on "inner enemies" (migrants, Palestine activist, climate activists). We see similar trends here in Sweden.
