The only way to stop climate change is to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions.
A four-panel meme using scenes from "Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones." The characters Anakin Skywalker (left panels) and Padmé Amidala (right panels) are shown in a meadow, having a conversation. The meme follows the popular "Padmé four-panel" format, where Anakin makes a statement, Padmé responds hopefully, Anakin gives a blank or smug look, and Padmé looks concerned or confused. Text overlays simulate their dialogue.

Top Left (Anakin speaking seriously):
Text: "WE'RE GOING TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE"

Top Right (Padmé smiling brightly, hopeful):
Text: "BY REDUCING CO₂ EMISSIONS, RIGHT?"

Bottom Left (Anakin looking sideways with a smug, knowing expression):
(No text, but his expression suggests reluctance or a hidden meaning.)

Bottom Right (Padmé now frowning, looking worried and seeking confirmation):
Text: "BY REDUCING CO₂ EMISSIONS, RIGHT?"

Bjorn Lomborg is up to his usual disinfo in the Telegraph (25th Jan) attacking the energy transition like his salary depends on it. He is wrong. Here is why: 1) the clean energy workforce surpassed that of fossil fuels around 2021 to employ over 50% of total energy workers worldwide.

Each year, starting in December, northern red-legged frogs hop up to a mile from their summer home in a forested park to their wetland spawning grounds. Then around February or March, they hop back again. There's just one problem. They have to cross a four-lane, high-speed road to get from one spot to the other.

A spiral arm emerges from each end of the bar and follows the edge of the disc, lined with blue and red glowing patches of stars, to the opposite end and a little off the galaxy. Blue stars are scattered between us and the galaxy.

High resolution image of a planet 3 billion km away and its rings. Uranus by JWST. 🔭 🧪
The planet Uranus on a black background. The planet appears blue with a large, white patch taking up the right half. The patch is whitest at the centre, then fades into blue as it expands from right to left. A thin outline of Uranus is also white. Around the planet is a system of nested rings. The outermost ring is the brightest while the innermost ring is the faintest. Unlike Saturn’s horizontal rings, the rings of Uranus are vertical and so they appear to surround the planet in an oval shape. There are 9 blueish white dots scattered around the rings.
