Beyond the click-baity headline and framing, not to mention the oddly detached tone when addressing such apocalyptic risks, there are parts of this that are really interesting. newyorker.com/culture/cultur…

Absolutely nothing resembling modern-day global warming has happened on Earth for at least the past 2,000 years,
Never once until the Industrial Revolution did temperatures surge in the same direction everywhere at the same time.

Good to see the Guardian has covered this - badly needs more attention! Does @beisgovuk really not understand the advantages for fossil fuels over #solar under biz rates/tax breaks/market support?! @shelaghwhitley

We can support other community energy groups through groups through the hive now! We have learnt many valuable lessons about projects connected to tackling climate change & fuel poverty from advice, workshops, funded training and even generating our own electricity in SE London
South East London Community Energy Co-operative (@seloncommenergy) make a difference to people and the planet by providing solar power to schools, and helping local residents better manage their fuel bills. Find out how The Hive helped them: bit.ly/2D3D1QN

The first trillion watts of installed #wind and #solar generation capacity has just been reached. It took 40 years
The next trillion watts will be done in under 5 years!

Nuclear supporters are the first to point out when wind and solar doesn't work because of the weather. So it seems only fair to note when nuclear has its own occasional shortcomings in this regard...

Bloomberg NEF data indicate that the world has attained the landmark figure of 1TW of wind and solar generation capacity installed. We estimate that the second terawatt of wind and solar will arrive by mid-2023 and cost 46% less than the first. bloom.bg/2OFxPEW

14 million people live in poverty in the UK - but they pay more for essential goods and services, such as their energy bills, for credit or their food. @fbdfund aims to eliminate this poverty premium within 10 years. #povertypremium #CreditRipOff
We are planning trials of Eco1 with Clarion Housing and CityWest homes this spring.
