Nice roundup of @unep.org's Overshoot report by @ayanaeliza.bsky.social. The bottom line: half measures don't cut it. We need radical transformation. ayanaelizabeth.substack.com/p/i-read-the...

I read the new UN climate report so you don't have to.

Did you know more than 90% of the new energy capacity added to the U.S. grid in recent years has come from clean energy? Not even Trump can stop the clean energy transition. ⚡️🌱 You can find my full conversation with Chris Hayes, available on MS NOW: www.ms.now/video-podcas...
