NEW SONG
‘Batty Tonight’

A playful folk song that gently invites us to slow down, care, and rediscover belonging – with bats and with each other. A reminder that sometimes, to find our way forward, we may need to be a little batty – and connected.

In some incredible news for your Thursday morning: data from AEMO found wind, solar, hydro and batteries accounted for 51% of the power in our main energy grid across October to November, 2025.

We’re already on our way to a renewable energy-led future, so let’s keep at it!

The New York Times knows this is disinformative fossil fuel industry propaganda but published it anyway. This (via @amywestervelt.bsky.social) might have something to do with it:

Latin American countries are fast adopting EVs, which are more efficient than petrol and diesel cars, and help reduce fossil fuel imports.

Glad to see more coverage on Stardust Solutions the terrifying military-linked startup trying to normalize solar geoengineering. This is disaster profiteering at it's dumbest and most dangerous.

Sadly paywalled. Anyone got a free link? This new threat deserves far more attention. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

A bunch of reactionary centrist pundits have decided that climate change isn't that big of a deal anymore. These climate scientists strongly disagree.

Hmmm ... how to adjudicate? 🤷
The world lost the climate gamble. Now it faces a dangerous new reality
The world bet on collective but voluntary action to keep global warming at a safe level.

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.

Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.

Or both.
