  1. Federal judge blocks Trump administration policies impeding wind and solar projects nationwide. Temporary injunction halts government actions restricting renewable energy development. #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction

  2. Climate change poses an ironic challenge to renewable energy: extreme heat, storms, and volatile weather are reducing solar, wind, and hydro output. Grid stability solutions are critical. #Renewables #ClimateAction

  3. Cooling the planet may be simpler than we think 🌱

    Trees do more than provide shade. Through evapotranspiration, they release water vapor that absorbs heat and helps cool the atmosphere naturally. The more vegetation we restore, the stronger the cooling effect becomes.

    Expanding agroforestry and restoring tree cover could be one of the most powerful natural climate solutions of our time 🌳

  4. Offshore wind generates 80+ GW globally but experts say capacity must multiply several times over to meet climate goals. The energy transition depends on accelerating marine wind development. #OffshoreWind #ClimateAction

  5. We cannot eat our maize alone but other environmental living organisms like birds and monkeys are the first,is this what is called interdependence in the ecosystem?

    To protect other corn from being attacked,we have to leave the ones that has already been destroyed to continue being destroyed because these organisms have to feed but they so not cultivate.

  6. Rising oil prices have created windfall profits for energy companies. Advocacy groups urge governments to tax these gains and fund clean energy and consumer relief. #Energy #ClimateAction

  7. This isn't today's forecast. But climate change means more heat domes are coming, and worse than the 2021 one that killed 24 in our region, most in their homes. Today Council passed our motion to start protecting renters from excessive heat in their homes. #yyj #climatechange #climateaction

  8. #JohnQuiggin argues the case for part public ownership in the national electricity market (#NEM ). And it makes absolute sense to do that. Maybe, just maybe, if #Labor is game enough… well, you never know, we just got a #Tax #SacredCow sent to the abattoir.

    “Australia’s energy market operator should be split in two and the national transmission network brought back under a public ownership model, according to a new report that is calling for a “fundamental overhaul” of the National Electricity Market.
    The analysis, published this week by The Australia Institute, is authored by University of Queensland economics professor John Quiggin, a long-time critic of the National Electricity Market (NEM) for – as he put it almost 10 years ago in 2017 – consistently failing to achieve its purpose.” (Source: reneweconomy.com.au/aemo-shoul )

  10. #ClimateAction of the day: Tell your federal representatives you want to see the energy company payouts fully investigated! Taxpayer money is being used to stop clean energy projects and invest in fossil fuels instead. This needs to be investigated. Now ⬇️

  11. La IA ha aprendido a "hablar" el lenguaje de la vida: Proteínas que comen plástico y diseñando antibióticos nuevos para bacterias que hoy son imbatibles. 🧬⚡

    Mientras el ruido mediático se centra en modelos que generan imágenes o correos corporativos, en la sombra se está forjando una revolución mucho más profunda y vital. Estamos presenciando el nacimiento de una IA Positiva que actúa como un escudo invisible para nuestra propia supervivencia.

    ¿Sabías que ya existen modelos tipo "Transformer" (como la arquitectura de ChatGPT) que no han sido entrenados con palabras, sino con secuencias de proteínas?

    🔬 FUENTES DESTACADAS DE ESTA REVOLUCIÓN:

    EvolutionaryScale (ESM3): El modelo de lenguaje que simula billones de años de evolución biológica en semanas.

    David Baker Lab (IPD): Pioneros en el diseño de proteínas "de novo" para crear soluciones que la naturaleza nunca imaginó.

    Estos avances están permitiendo que la IA deje de ser una simple "calculadora" para convertirse en una "escritora" de biología. Ya no solo intentamos predecir cómo se pliegan las proteínas; ahora diseñamos enzimas desde cero para:

    ✅ Limpieza Planetaria: Enzimas creadas por IA capaces de devorar microplásticos en vertederos y océanos.

    ✅ Salud Humana: El diseño de nuevos antibióticos para combatir bacterias que hoy son inmunes a todo.

  12. Last Sunday, I had the privilege to see Attenborough's "Our Story" in the Artis Planetarium. The experience nudged me on an intertwined train of thought.

    The short film is a quick overview of the rise of our species - how we grew from an animal trying to survive to a powerful collective that exerts vast influence over the planet that birthed us. It was a lovely way to celebrate Attenborough's 100th birthday, as one of the treasured people of mankind. His message of hope drew a parallel between how we saved the great whales from almost certain extinction through shared global effort, and our power to make a difference as long as we work together. We, he says, are living in one of the most important historical times. And indeed, our times will be regarded as some of the most important in history books hundreds of years from now... Assuming we'll have the liberty of open science.

    A day before the screening, I witnessed something that rhymed with Attenborough's message. The inauguration of Hungary's new democratic government, led by Péter Magyar, took place in Budapest, the first after years of Viktor Orbán's authoritarian rule, which had systematically dismantled judicial independence, press freedom, civil society and committed countless other crimes.

    A few very powerful moments happened in Parliament last Saturday. Hungary's new sovereignty was established through the uncompromising affirmation of democracy. The building of transparent and independent accountability mechanisms was explained, and the perpetrators of the sunsetting kleptocratic regime were literally looked in the eye and brutally shamed before an entire nation and the world. (You should watch the various ceremonies and discussions online if you have the time.) Most importantly though, the new prime minister called on Hungarian citizens to watch their political servants, work towards common goals despite the polarising scars that divide and conquer tactics left on the social fibre, and to look for the best in each other. This triangle of active ethics is essential, and I will come back to it.

    Attenborough's call for collective care for our Mother Earth is the most important message of our lifetime. Hungary's citizens demonstrated the truth of this message and what collective will can do.

    But the real work begins now.

  13. #Starmer had a #GreenPledge that he spectacularly dropped before being elected.

    Because suddenly #Renewables , #Retrofit and #ClimateAction were too expensive to actually do in government or did chasing #Reform ‘s coattails mean conveniently #Labour no longer needed to care?

    On Friday they realised they lost whole swathes of voters across the country they’d taken for granted. Now they want them back less than a week later.

    Were there ever any workable plans? Have these been resurrected?

  14. @sjharder On a more serious front, there's a lot to be said for #agrovoltaics - the question is how to reach relatively conservative rural communities. The #SolarIndustry has made the mistake of taking up large amounts of land with very dense arrays - and that's what sticks in peoples mind.

    Perhaps there need to be tours/site visits organized to operating agrovoltaic sites - coupled with serious discussions about the pros and conns for locations. We really need to focus on trust building - the misinformation on both right and left is distressing.

    #ClimateAction #ShowNotTell #GenuineEngagement are needed.

  15. We are inviting everyone on #mastodon to support us in making our vision of a world where empowered youth drive a community transformation through green #agriculture ensuring resilient #ecosystem
    ,food secure families and thriving self sustainable communities become a reality in life.

  16. I started exploring #offset to find a meaningful counterbalance for the #emissions I haven't cut. Once I explored #carbon #offsets, I was disappointed at the number of problems that have been identified and studies for decades now. Read more...
