We know how to decarbonise our energy systems. We know how to decarbonise road and rail transportation. We know how to produce low carbon cement and steel. Humanity doesn’t have to suffer ever worse heatwaves and droughts. We can avoid this.

I wish reporters would stop saying stuff like 'Scientists say we need to rapidly decarbonise to avoid catastrophic global heating'

And simply say 'we need to rapidly decarbonise to avoid catastrophic global heating'

It's not an opinion, it's a fact

I mean, it’s not the cheapest way to decarbonise the global economy but it might be better than some alternatives.

Climate breakdown is here. We must double down on efforts to decarbonise but that's not enough.

We need new rights at work to protect us from climate danger - failing to act now will endanger workers' lives and cost our health service dearly.
64% of Britons would support a law where employers cannot require workers to work if the temperature of the working environment is above 30C

Net support by age
18-24yr olds: +58
25-49yr olds: +47
50-64yr olds: +34
65+yr olds: +23

Why don’t we just decarbonise literally everything else faster and have planes, which are the hardest thing to decarbonise?

So true. Never had quite enough to decarbonise the house + get an EV. Maybe this year.
Who can't just buy an EV to help with the fuel costs - poor people.

Who can't just get solar panels & a battery to help with energy costs - poor people.

Who can't stockpile food to help with rising costs - poor people

See a pattern?

The poor always suffer most & can afford it least #auspol

India should fully decarbonise and then put heavy tariffs on countries who don’t (the US).

If only there had been another reason to decarbonise society, invest in renewables, and electrify the transport system before this crisis
🚨 BREAKING: The European Commission has urged people to work from home, drive and fly less, and for EU countries to urgently roll out renewables, as it warned of a prolonged energy crisis as a result of the conflict in the Gulf.

Useful thread about air con. It's a real opportunity to roll out heat pumps that both cool and heat homes when needed (and further decarbonise our energy systems)
6/ The growing demand for cooling is potentially an opportunity to decarbonise heating. A reversible air-to-air heat pump cools in summer and heats in winter from the same unit. Most heat pumps in Scandinavia are air to air systems. The same applies in the US.

Population growth or decline will have little impact on climate change

- It'll be too slow and too late for the timeframes that we need to decarbonise, says @hannahritchie.bsky.social

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.

Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

"The report.......substantiates claims the country's gas export industry could be hampering global efforts to decarbonise, according to climate and energy analysts"

A leaked report confirms carpet-bombing other countries with fossil fuel exports actively stifles renewable energy development -->>>
Secret report challenges government claim WA gas will help world decarbonise
A secret report undermines the WA government's claim that domestic gas production is helping the rest of the world decarbonise, while the state's own greenhouse gas emissions rise.

Zack Polanski, "If we decarbonise by 2050, that would cost less than a single (fossil-fuel) energy shock"

"We've now had two energy shocks in just a few years"

"We cannot keep waiting, we cannot keep hoping for magic technologies - it already exists, what is lacking is the political will"

'A Coalition government has vowed to detonate most of Australia’s efforts to decarbonise its economy “within 30 days” of winning power'

Coalition vows to scrap "ideologically driven" renewable, EV and climate policies if returned to power
Federal Coalition vows to detonate most of Australia's efforts to decarbonise "within 30 days" of winning power, including the advance of renewables and the emissions-curbing policy it introduced.

“Hard to decarbonise” sectors keep becoming easier to decarbonise through electrification.

Electrify everything ;)

"If we invest in the green economy to decarbonise, protect jobs, and lower bills, we can tackle the climate crisis and the cost of living crisis at the same time."

Zack Polanski on LBC discussing the need to invest in a greener, fairer future.

From lowering electricity prices.

To adapting our carbon market to global realities.

Our Electrification Action Plan is also our investment and independence plan.

To decarbonise, innovate and lead by example.

As Europeans increasingly feel the impact of climate change, they expect Europe to act.

Industry and investors look to us to set a predictable direction of travel.

Today we show that we stand firmly by our commitment to decarbonise Europe's economy by 2050.

It cannot be repeated enough that we need to rapidly decarbonise our economy, particularly transport. This has benefits for climate change as well as energy resilience. Policy support for more buses, trains, ferries; protected cycleways; safe walking; e-bikes; e-cars; e-trucks.

Right, I’m off to Bakau and COP29 to talk about the quiet power of these 2-wheeled machines to decarbonise.
We’ve done the numbers and you’ll be amazed (Tuesday the 19th) @activetravelengland @defrauk

“Sustainable” fuel is a scam, the only way to decarbonise flying is to end flying

So why isn't the request for grants to decarbonise agribusiness?
