Is it strategic to publish my 2,000+ word manifesto about a UN climate report on Sunday night of a holiday weekend? Nope! Here ya go. Does the UN call for a “renewable energy revolution” and “transformational change” of our society? Yep! Here for it. ayanaelizabeth.substack.com/p/i-read-the...

I read the new UN climate report so you don't have to.
TL;DR they are calling for radical transformation of our society.

The US built more grid batteries last quarter than ever before
The outlook for storage construction keeps getting brighter as everyone from the Trump White House to clean energy advocates to AI giants clamors for more.

Just finished The Carbon Wave by @leahstokes.bsky.social, and I’m honestly not sure whether to call it a climate book, a political thriller, a masterclass in persistence, or an emotional ambush disguised as a policy narrative.

A disaster is a function of three things: the hazard itself, people's vulnerability to the hazard, and their exposure. @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social explains eloquently how the LA fires are a perfect storm of all three. Read more:

The fires in Los Angeles County are climate change in action. Today, I spoke with BBC News about how drought is causing devastating impacts in what should be the rainy season. Thanks to climate change, the fire season in California is now year round.

A great summary of how (and why) science is political from Science Magazine: "Given the current political reality and the expansion of attacks on science, it is time for scientists to be more effective, forceful, and vociferous as their own political advocates." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
