I added #Ecuador to my #LandGame. See how reliance on imported fossil fuels has impacted Ecuador's GDP, when droughts affected electricity supply from the usual Hydro sources. benvost.fr/landgame

I went to the supermarket here in France today and saw these fruit. It's A) great that I can buy them because I won't get something that comes in a plane from Brazil or India, but B) bad because it means the climate has heated enough to make growing them in Spain possible

We got literally one usable apple from our tree this year. Usually, the harvest is enough to make three large apple crumble. Big deal? What if other apple trees around the country have undergone the same stress. What does that mean for the food system?

Thanks to @climatetown.bsky.social for the stat that it took the US 42 years to get to just over 23M cars on the road. It'll probably take as long for EVs to get to the same amount - UH OH!

A NY Times article saying there are 22,137,334 cars registered in the US on Jan 1 197, 42 years after the invention of the car

A search result saying there are over 25m EVs on US roads as of 2026, 16 years after their invention

Hey, when the Bahamas floods are there going to be well-heeled climate refugees invading Nassau?

I'll revise my earlier assertion that #CCS is a con, and say that it will contribute in a tiny way to achieving #NetZero. @carbonbrief.org has done an excellent explainer from which I stole the graphic. Read it here: www.carbonbrief.org/qa-does-the-...

Photo by Setfan Rahmstorf, on holiday last week in Lacanau. Talk about being in the right place at the wrong time. #ClimateActionNow - the alt text is a quote from him

“What people are not getting is that we can’t turn this back – the CO2 to a large part remains in the air for thousands of years,” said Rahmstorf. “Some people think we can wait and, when it gets too bad, then we reduce emissions and things will get better again. People don’t realise that we can’t make it get better again. We can only prevent it from getting much worse.”

Yup, trying to sleep, but the smell of smoke, and the thoughts of what to put in a go bag, are running through my head

We've got wildfire all around and two firefighters have died. I've taken two and a half hours to go five miles - on my scooter, overtaking and going around everything. It's crazy. I saw two airport-type firetrucks pass me, waterplanes and loads of accidents #ClimateDisaster

Police stopping traffic going into dangerous zones, which mean I was turned around again and again as I was trying to make my way home

I've just learned of Domenico "Mimmo" Lucarno, the mayor of Riace in southern Italy. He was arrested for, and eventually acquitted of, breaking Italy's immigration laws for welcoming migrants and refugees into his dying town. I found it in the excellent #HBOMAX doc #TheWelcomeTable #MayorsRule

I love how canny and inventive the Ukrainians are. Take this example, liberated from the excellent @billmckibben.bsky.social newsletter (substack.com/redirect/2/e...)

A picture of two electric motorbikes in army green, with the Ukrainian crest. The text accompanying the picture is as follows:

Meanwhile, here’s something quite real and remarkable, and just a little further south. The almost unbelievably adaptive Ukrainian defense industry has just rolled out an electric motorcycle that carries two soldiers in full gear at 80 kilometers an hour, and with a range of a hundred kilometers. What does the Ukrainian army want with this? Well, it produces no noise, and no heat signature for drones to hone in on.

Motorcycles have become one of the most operationally critical vehicle classes on the Ukrainian frontline, where small mobile groups, reconnaissance teams, and casualty-evacuation crews need to move quickly through terrain impassable to heavier vehicles.

I can use Claude less and less. Here I ran out of tokens because some were used to compress our existing conversation, surely an internal housekeeping process and not something that should be coming out of my limited credit?
