We need to get real. Met Éireann is not to blame for flooding damage - poor planning, building on flood plains, not implementing over 20 years of remedial action are. We were warned decades ago winter rain would increase, but continued doing nothing and built on space needed for water #spéirghorm

He started getting, what do they call it?" He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press secretary for the word that escaped him.
"Alzheimer's," Leavitt said.

Someone should tell him how much the oil industry gets in subsidies & the amount of renewable capacity you could build with that kind of investment. Pumping the $1.4 trillion provided directly & indirectly globally for oil each year into solar would make quite a difference.

It’s frustrating to watch interviews like the one between the @thedailyshow.com’s Jon Stewart & @elizkolbert.bsky.social tonight, suggesting we don’t know the solutions to the #ClimateCrisis, & better solutions aren’t “politically viable.” WE KNOW THE SOLUTIONS, AND ONLY CORRUPTION MAKES THEM HARD.

Despite worries about solar under Trump, the sector has not collapsed & prospects look good - hence surge in solar share prices
A lot of tax credits have been maintained, datacentres need power and solar is cheap &fast to deploy, rooftop promising as power prices rise

Ok I see news reports lacking clarity. The two roadmaps announced by the COP30 Brazilian presidency on halting deforestation and transitioning away from fossil fuels are voluntary in nature. They were announced at the closing plenary without gavelling. They do not constitute a COP decision

While it might have a niche role, it’s not nearly as effective as other solutions - plant-based diets, reducing food waste, etc.
