New gas field approved, oil field approval pending, cleaner car targets slashed, airport expansions waved through.

Is the ‘new era of British leadership’ on climate action in the room with us right now?
Image is a screen shot of a BBC news article. The headline reads: “Burnham says climate ‘consensus’ ‘gone’ and pledges ‘new era of British leadership’ in COP31 speech.

The clean energy industry is starting to flex its political muscle and spend big. Here's why that matters.

As #COP31 debates how fast the world can move away from fossil fuels, one part of the transition is already racing ahead. Solar has just passed a remarkable global milestone – and the numbers are far more hopeful than the headlines suggest.

Good news for the planet: the soaring rise of solar energy
Despite gloomy messages from COP, there is some good news. Solar generation has become a major global energy source

Of course, the tacit implication (of the rejection of any constraints on consumption) is that relevant political leaders are NOT meaningfully commited to respecting either the Paris Agreement temperature goal OR global climate justice...

Based on current policies, we will reach 2.7C in 2100?

We have to bin this nonsense

1.5C permanently crossed in 2028, planet heating at 0.4C/decade

It is no longer about policies. It is about feedbacks and the Earth's rapidly rising energy imbalance

Ob wie in dieser Woche bei der @enlit-europe.bsky.social in Wien mit tausenden Fach-BesucherInnen oder aktuell bei der #COP31 in Antalya: Elektrifizierung ist on top of the menu: wir haben hier noch einigen Aufholfbedarf! Aber gute Voraussetzungen.

Governments face a stark choice: continue to support the fossil fuel industry and face insurmountable economic damages, rising mortality from heat and climate-driven diseases and disasters – or pivot to the solutions which are available and cheaper than ever

Ich zweifle nicht so sehr an der Handlungsfähigkeit wie an der Handlungswilligkeit.

Während die Weltklimakonferenz (COP31) tagt, wird bei uns an der Flugabgabe gerüttelt. Neben den negativen Klimafolgen würden dadurch 190 Millionen Euro in der Staatskasse fehlen. Im Gegenzug nutzt eine Streichung vor allem einkommensstärkeren Haushalten, wie unsere Analyse zeigt.
Momentum Grafik: Haushalte mit höheren Einkommen fliegen öfters. Die Grafik zeigt, dass die Anzahl der Flugreisen im Schnitt mit dem Haushaltseinkommen zunimmt. 42 Prozent der Menschen mit hohem Haushaltseinkommen flogen im letzten Jahr zumindest einmal, jede:r Zehnte (11 Prozent) absolvierte sogar drei oder mehr Flugreisen. Bei Menschen mit niedrigem Haushaltseinkommen waren es hingegen nur 22,9 beziehungsweise 4,1 Prozent.
