What you need to know

Kemi rants about North Sea Oil. But, err, it’s gone already

Right-wing wants dem fossils? Kemi is “Standing up for oil & gas”. (Hey, they need it).
But? We don’t have much gas left 🤷‍♂️.
So, what do we do? Well, one single offshore wind farm can replace the gas banned by Labour. So let’s do that.

No Porsche, e-Fuels ain’t happening

Um, e-Fuels? Petrol made from renewable energy. Possible, but expensive. Sports car manufacturers cling to it. ‘Cause, you know, noise.
Who’s trying it? Big project in Chile - but it’s not going anywhere. Because - clean power straight into batteries is easier and cheaper.

Not just carbon: Trump is unleashing mercury, benzene, arsenic & more… ☣️

Seriously? Who doesn’t want power stations pumping carcinogens, neurotoxins, and particulates? The Big Man’s new laws take the brakes off industry.
Sure it’s fine. Yes, if you like breathing issues, birth defects, cancer, and brain damage.
Oh? You know the man.

One thing to worry about

Lowest rivers since records began.

One thing to be optimistic about

Wind and solar hammered out 56% of Germany’s power in May 💪.

If you’ve got more time, read this…

Human-caused aerosols - small pollution particles - have been masking the actual warming effect of the other gases we’ve been pumping out.

And as we clean up pollution, the heat is accelerating. Maybe as much as 1°C. Which is apocalyptically bad.

I’ve covered this before when it was fringe, but see this major new piece from Carbon Brief.

The good news? We know how to delay warming. But it’s with pollution.
